Thanks to their small size, cute droopy ears, and playful temperament, the Mini Lop is one of the most popular pet rabbit breeds. Follow the pattern exactly for a mostly white bunny with small, slightly asymmetrical patches, or make up your own color markings – your Mini Lop will look adorable either way!

Size
About 20 cm (8”) long and 10 cm (4”) at the highest point of the back, if made with DK yarn

Tools and materials
~ yarn in white and a bunny-appropriate patch color
~ crochet hook: 3mm (approx. US size C) if using DK yarn; or size that gives you a tight, no-gaps fabric
~ black plastic eyes: 12mm for DK yarn (preferably sew-on type)
~ if using sew-on eyes, dental floss or strong thread to attach them
~ pink embroidery floss, and a large, sharp point embroidery needle
~ fiberfill stuffing
~ stitch marker, pair of scissors, yarn needle, pins
~ optionally, a small piece of Velcro to fluff up the tail

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for intermediate level crocheters who are confident with basic stitches (sc, sl st) and frequently used amigurumi techniques (magic loop, invisible decrease, color change).

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology (UK/Aus equivalents provided). It contains many in-progress photos, but also includes a text-only appendix for easy printing, if you prefer working from a printed pattern but want to save ink and paper.

Finished amigurumi made from this pattern are yours to keep or gift or sell, I only ask you to credit me as the designer in case you decide to sell them.
