Create the cutest palm sized bunny scrubby amigurumi this spring with my Bitsy the Bunny Crochet pattern! Springtime suds for bath time fun!

Meet Bitsy!
This shy little bunny is one of our sweetest scrubby designs here at the studio. Pretty and petite, this bunny scrubby amigurumi crochet pattern is sure to be a hit with all ages! Created in cotton yarn, she features a puff stitch textured base perfect for building up suds, and is filled with a light and airy nylon puff and the tulle from a deconstructed second one. This enables her to hang dry quicker in between laundry days while she waits for her turn in the machine!
Let’s get started on this springtime sweetheart.
