Bunny

An upright bunny with tall ears and a round tail, an easy charmer for Easter and baby projects. The clean silhouette reads clearly even on a smaller grid. Bring it into the editor to flop one ear, add a carrot, or pair two bunnies nose to nose, then export the pattern or print a numbered chart to follow row by row.

Perfect for

Skill level: beginner

A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.

Yarn and hook

Work the bunny in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.

Project ideas

The bunny is a natural fit for a playful throw: try it on a pet-lover gift square, or a soft-toy-themed throw. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.

Who it's for

The bunny is an easy win when you are making something for a child or marking a baby shower. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.

Size, printing, and scaling

Expect roughly 5.5 by 6.5 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.

Bunny filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the bunny pattern?
Yes. The bunny is one of the more beginner-friendly charts here — it reads clearly and forgives the odd miscount. If you can work a double crochet and a chain, you can follow it.
Can I print the bunny pattern or save it as a PDF?
Absolutely — print a numbered grid straight from the page, or export a PDF or PNG from the editor. There is no paywall on the bunny chart.
Can I resize the bunny chart?
Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.
Can I make the bunny in more than one colour?
Filet crochet is traditionally a single colour so the filled and open squares read clearly, but you can work the background in a second shade or add a contrast border.
How many stitches is the bunny pattern?
The chart is 22 by 26 squares — 572 mesh in total, about 165 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 5.5 by 6.5 inches.
