Notes:

• The pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise. Be sure to use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
• Tight tension is beneficial when working on amigurumi to prevent the stuffing from showing.

Gauge, Approximate Size, and Pattern Notes

• Gauge: Gauge is not critical for this project as long as your stitches are tight enough to avoid stuffing gaps.
• Finished Size: The small rabbit will measure approximately 4–5 inches tall when completed, depending on your yarn and tension.

No gauge swatch is required.
