Amigurumi Hat Trick - Pattern for a tiny rabbit and top-hat
(with American crochet stitches) Flottelotte236 July 13, 2014 PLEASE DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS PATTERN, PARTS OF THIS PATTERN OR THE IMAGES CONTAINED IN IT ANYWHERE WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR! This is my third amigurumi design. With a 4 mm crochet hook and worsted weight cotton yarn, the pattern produces a rabbit that is roughly 3.5 cm tall (without the ears) and a top hat with a diameter of roughly 3 cm. To make the two objects described in the pattern, you only need to know some very simple crochet stitches and use some left-over yarn in two different colours - it is a quick and easy pattern. The rabbit's face is stitched, but the eyes can also be made using felt or (very small) safety eyes or buttons.

The rabbit's body and the hat are worked in the round, the ears are worked in rows.
