• For this pattern we will mostly be working in rows.
• Row 1: Ch x41, turn
• Row 2: In the second chain from the hook, make a hdc. Continue to make hdc for the rest of the row. (40) At the end of the row, ch x1 and turn. (The ch is a turning ch, you will be making these every row but do not work in them!)
• Row 3: In blo, hdc for the entire row (40). Ch x1 and turn
• Row 4-44: Repeat row 3. (40). Ch x1 and turn.
• Use more or less rows depending on the size of the hat you are trying to achieve.
• Before fastening off the yarn you want to fold the rectangle in half and then sew it or crochet it shut.
• After the side of the hat has been sewn shut, take the yarn and cinch the top of the hat shut. Fasten off and weave in the end.
• Once that is done, flip the hat inside out so now the sewn edges are on the inside of the hat.

Brim:

• Figure out what side of the hat you want as the front side. Then insert your yarn onto the edge (preferably insert the yarn either on the side or back of the hat. I generally insert it on the seam) and make a sc. Make enough sc to get you to where you want to place your first bunny ear (the side of the hat you want as the front).
• Now for the bunny ear: In the stitch where you want the ear to be placed make a sl st, then ch x7, in the 3rd chain from the hook, make a dc, in the following 3 chains make a tr in each ch. Dc in the last ch then sl st into the stitch you started making the ear.
• Sc x7 and then proceed to make another crochet bunny ear.
• Sc the rest of the brim. Then fasten off and weave in the tail.

Inner ear circles:

• Using the pink yarn, Ch x5 and in the second ch from the hook make a sc. continue making sc in the chs until you are out of chs. Fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.

Cheeks:

• Round 1: With pink yarn, make a mr and make sc x6 in the circle (6). Slip stitch to the first sc and fasten off.

Finishing:

• Insert safety eyes below the ears.
• Sew the inner pink ears to the ears. Then sew on the cheeks below and slightly left/right of the eyes.
• And once all of that is done, the ends are weaved in, your bunny crochet hat made from my bunny ear beanie crochet pattern is completed! I hope you enjoy your crochet bunny beanie as much as I had fun designing the pattern for it!
