There’s a reason this project is such a favorite—it hits that perfect balance between easy and rewarding.
✔ Beginner-friendly (just basic stitches)
✔ Made from one square (no complex construction)
✔ Fast project (perfect for a weekend or even an afternoon)
✔ Great for scrap yarn
✔ Perfect handmade gift
Unlike most amigurumi patterns that require shaping, counting rounds, and working in the round, this project is refreshingly simple. You’ll crochet a square and then use a few strategic stitches to shape the bunny.
What Is a One Square Crochet Bunny?
A one square bunny is exactly what it sounds like: a stuffed animal made entirely from a single crocheted square.
Once your square is finished, you:
Stitch through the center
Pull to form the head and ears
Stuff the body
Seam and close
That’s it.
It’s one of the easiest ways to create a plush toy—and one of the most satisfying.

Pattern instructions:
Make a loop and chain 17 sts. Single crochet across the chain and make a turning chain.
Turn the chain over and Half Double Crochet in the “v” of each chain. Make a turning chain at the end of each row.
Repeat, making a turning chain each time you finish a row. Work until your piece measures 9 inches.
Cut the end of the yarn, and pull it through the loop.
Using a yarn needle, make a running stitch through the center of the square. Stitch up in a triangular shape.
Pull the ends of the yarn on the side to gather. You’ll see the ears and head forming.
Stuff the head with poly-fill and pull the ends of yarn tightly to close.
Make a stitch to secure.

The rest of the square will become the body. Stitch the back seam closed. Stuff the body with fiber fill. Use a liberal amount of stuffing so the bunny will stand upright. Run a stitch around the opening and pull to close. Knot to secure. Make the pom pom tail (click here for my Perfect Pom Pom Tutorial) and tie it on the back.
Sew the seam at the ears closed.
