Crochet amigurumi Caramel the Bunny

Lightly stuff the piece if desired. Leave a long yarn tail for sewing.

I brush out the mohair with a strip of hook-and-loop fastener.

If you are using Kamtex Cotton Grass or Nako Paris, a slicker brush works better. You can buy one at a pet store.

First, I brush out the ears, except at the base where they will be sewn on. Then I embroider the face, making the nose as a simple triangle. I sew the ears on symmetrically and brush out the head, carefully working around the embroidery.

I sew on the head and tail, then brush out the entire body. I trim the fluffy fibers with scissors to keep everything neat. Caramel the Bunny is ready!
