Free Crochet Pattern: Gallimelmas-Style Bunny by Lyubov Ledyankina

This free pattern allows you to crochet a sleeping bunny in the charming Gallimelmas style. The original idea is based on a pattern by Lyubov Ponomarenko.

Using this pattern, you can create a delightful amigurumi bunny with any acrylic, cotton, or cotton-blend yarn and a matching hook. The toy’s size will depend on the materials you choose. All parts are crocheted in spirals. The designer did not specify a recommended yarn, so feel free to experiment—your bunny will look adorable regardless. Decorate the sleeping bunny to suit your taste!
