Hi Guys,
Today I'm delighted to bring you this free crochet pattern for a super cute Bunny Beanie. These beanies were my bread and butter when I first started out. So quick to make and they sold like hot-cakes at the local markets.
With Easter only a short time away (I know! I'm sorry for the reminder!) I thought this would be the perfect time to pop this one up on the blog!
This pattern is a basic top down beanie is sizes 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 1-3Y and 4-10Y.
When I first made this pattern I used an 8Ply Superwash Merino with a 5mm hook. However this has been remade using nice thick 8ply acrylic and even been done with Aran weight yarn with success. So its a very forgiving pattern to follow and easy to adjust as you go if needed by adding or removing a row here and there.
I wanted to add a little something to this beanie, so I included some optional instructions on how to add some flowers or a bow for that special final touch!
This pattern is a bit lengthy due to all the sizes so I have removed some of the less necessary photos in this blog post, however all instructions are still there.
The full pattern is written out below for FREE, however if you prefer a printable PDF without the Ad's, with extra photos and so you can print out the required pages only, you can get the download via the below links as usual!
If you enjoy this pattern, please check out my other patterns available.

Let's Begin!
Bunny Beanie
Sizes;
- 0-3m - Fits head circumference - 33-38cm
- 3-6m - Fits head circumference - 38-43cm
- 6-12m - Fits head circumference - 41-48cm

Gauge;
Hdc with a 5mm hook
10cm x 10cm = 15 Stitches across and 14 Rows
You can also complete the first 6 rows of the beanie and measure diameter of 9.5cm. Beanie is easy to adjust by adding or removing rows to match any gauge.
Materials;
- Yarn; I used a 10ply superwash merino with a tight tension for this beanie. If you have a looser tension you may find a 8ply acrylic or wool with a 4.5mm hook is more suitable. You will need 75 to 100grams. For the flowers a thinner yarn (such as an 8 ply cotton) works best. Only about 20 grams of a green, white and pink.
- Hook; 5mm hook (or hook needed to get gauge), 4mm and 3mm
- Yarn Needle
- Stitchmarker
Abbreviations - US Terms;
- Sc - Single Crochet
- Dc - Double Crochet
- Hdc - Half Double Crochet
- Hdc2tog - Half Double Crochet 2 stitches together
- SlSt - Slip Stitch
- Sk - Skip
- Ch - Chain
Notes;
Beanie is a simple top down beanie worked in the round. Bunny ears and flowers/bow are made separately and sewn in place.
Chain stitches at the end of the row are not included in the stitch count. A number in front of a stitch – e.g 2Hdc – means you work 2 Hdc stitches in one stitch. A number following a stitch – e.g Hdc 2 – means work a Hdc in each of the next 2 stitches. Sequences between asterisks are repeated the number of times shown – e.g *2Sc, Sc* x5
Stitch count is included in brackets after the round instructions. Instructions for the Plaits and the Flower/ Bow accessories are at the very end.

Plaits
The make the plaits, cut 24 lengths of yarn 2.5x the length you wish for the plaits to be. I did 12x lengths in grey and 12x lengths in white
Take 12 lengths and fold in half. Using a crochet hook, pull the loop through the hole in the end of the ear flap and pull the ends through the loop to secure in place. Divide the strands into 3 and plait, knotting the end to secure the plait and trim the ends. Repeat on the other side with the other 12 lengths of yarn.
Option 1 - Flowers
For this bunch of flowers you will be making the following depending on the beanie size your making;

6-12m - 2x leaves, 2x Mini Flowers, 2x Medium Flowers
1-3y - 2x leaves, 2x Mini Flowers, 1x Medium Flower and 1x Large Flower
4-10y - 2x leaves, 2x Mini Flowers, 2x Medium Flowers and 1x Large Flower
You can add more/less flowers as you wish. Take your time with the flowers, the hook is really small and fiddly. You won’t notice any missed stitches so just do the best you can!

Starting at the chain end; roll into flower and use tail to sew flower in place as above.
Use tails to secure the flowers and the leaves into place on the beanie. I start off by positioning and hand sewing the leaves first – using a basic running stitch around the edge of the leaf. Then layer on the flowers.
Option 2 - Bow - 5mm hook
Option 2 – Bow – 5mm hook

With the rectangle laying horizontally, bring the two short ends together to meet in the middle. Use the tails to weave through 4x to secure in place, Pull the ends to bunch the bow in the center. Tie ends together and trim.
Take a long length of yarn and wrap around the middle tightly. Tie ends together and leave 20cm tails.
