Materials Needed

Before we dive into the process of crocheting bunny ears, let's gather all the materials that we will need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Baby sports weight yarn (number three)
• Size C (2.75 millimeter) crochet hook
• Marker
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Now that we have all the necessary supplies, let's move on to the next section where we will start crocheting the bunny ears.

Crocheting the Bunny Ears

3.1 Making the Magic Ring

To begin, we will create a magic ring to form the base of our bunny ears. Follow these steps:

1. Wrap the yarn around your finger twice, forming a ring.
2. Remove the ring from your finger.
3. Into the ring, make ten single crochet stitches. Remember to make a chain one before starting the single crochet stitches.

3.2 Working the Spiral Stitches

For the next round, we will work in a spiral fashion without joining. Follow these steps:

1. Make two single crochet stitches in each stitch around, totaling twenty single crochet stitches.
2. Use a marker to indicate the beginning of the round.

3.3 Increasing Stitches

In the next round, we will continue increasing the stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Make one single crochet stitch in each stitch around.
2. Use the marker to indicate the beginning of the round.

3.4 Continuing the Rounds

Continue working rounds as described in 3.3 until round nine, maintaining a total of 25 stitches around. Don't forget to use the marker.

3.5 Decreasing Stitches

In round ten, we will start decreasing the stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the marker.
2. Make one single crochet stitch in each of the next three stitches.
3. Use the two stitches to create a decrease by inserting the hook into the next stitch, grabbing the yarn, and drawing through all loops.
4. Repeat the pattern of one single crochet in each of the next three stitches and a decrease until the end of the round.

3.6 Completing the Rounds

Continue working rounds as described in 3.5 until round 15, maintaining a total of 15 stitches around. Remove the marker after completing each round.

Shaping and Finishing the Ears

In round 16, flatten the ear and crochet both thicknesses together. Follow these steps:

1. Make one single crochet stitch in the first stitch.
2. Use a marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Make a decrease by combining two stitches.
4. Repeat the pattern of one single crochet and a decrease until the end of the round.
5. Close the work, leaving an extra length for sewing onto the bunny doll later.

Congratulations! You have completed one bunny ear. Remember to make a second ear to create a pair for your bunny doll or project.
