Little round amigurumi bunny with long ears

Frequently asked questions
Why won't my bunny ears stand up?
Ears flop when worked loosely. Use a smaller hook for the ears, or slide a pipe cleaner inside with the ends folded over (not for young children).
Can I make it without sewing?
The ears and tail need a few stitches. To reduce sewing, work the tail as a French knot of yarn instead.
