Bring on the spring sweetness with this adorable amigurumi bunny pattern! This cute rabbit is a large, soft plush that kids of all ages can appreciate!

With this bright bunny around, it will really feel like spring has sprung!

Spring Sherbet Bunny

I came up with this cute little bunny based on my own countdown to spring! Living in upstate NY can be tough during the winter, even though I don’t really mind the snow. But spending more time outside because of a new puppy, combined with coming up on that time of year where winter has been dragging on for a while, have really given me spring fever! Fall still has my heart when it comes to a favorite season, but spring is close to being tied! I love everything about the mild weather, fun pastels, and cute Easter animals that this season has to offer. (If you love spring too, be sure to check out another Amigurumi Bunny pattern of mine, my Amigurumi Sheep, and my Cherry Blossom Hat and Scarf patterns!)

One of my favorite things about this bunny’s look is the fun , soft multi-colored yarn it’s made out of! This kind of softness and texture is signature to Bernat Baby Blanket yarn. And the fun blend of colors is perfect for a cute Easter bunny! You can get this color way – “Peachy” – on Amazon:
