Essential Materials for Your Pretty Bunny Amigurumi
Before beginning your crochet journey, gather these materials—much like prepping ingredients before making a Hello Fresh gnocchi recipe:
- White yarn - Medium weight (worsted/DK) cotton or cotton blend for the bunny body
- Pink yarn - For the dress, similar weight to your white yarn
- Crochet hook - Size appropriate for your yarn (typically 2.5-3.5mm)
- Fiberfill stuffing - For a soft, squeezable bunny
- Stitch markers - To keep track of your rounds
- Tapestry needle - For sewing pieces together
- Safety eyes - 6-8mm black safety eyes (optional)
- Small stones or poly pellets - For weighting the legs (optional)
- Wire - For bendable arms (optional)
- Fabric sticking tape - If using uncoated wire (optional)
Understanding the Pattern Language
Before diving into the instructions, familiarize yourself with these crochet abbreviations—the recipe language of your project:
- ch = chain
- st = stitch
- sc = single crochet
- inc = increase (2 sc in one st)
- dec = decrease (2 sc together)
- sl st = slip stitch
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- tr = treble crochet
- dc dec = 2 dc together
- (..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
- [..] = total number of stitches
Pro Tip: Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each new round, just as you'd use a timer in a Hello Fresh gnocchi recipe to ensure perfect cooking time.

- Have scissors and tapestry needle within reach
- Organize your yarns to prevent tangling
- Keep stuffing materials in a container to prevent mess
