Free Crochet Workshop: How to Make a Bunny “Roberto” by Julia Maksimova (@twinsprsins)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a simple bunny using the Jeans yarn. For amigurumi, any cotton-based yarn will work well, such as YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, Vita Lira, and others. The toy is easy to make, with the body and legs crocheted as a single piece, while the arms, ears, and head are sewn on later. Everything is crocheted in a spiral. The face is finished with embroidery.
