Ear Puff
The puffs and body (white features) will require using the bobble stitch. In this pattern, I had 4 loops on my hook before pulling through to make each bobble.. Please reference this video for a thorough explanation on how to make the bobble stitch, but keep in mind instead of doing incomplete ‘double crochets’ as in this video I did ‘incomplete’ single crochets to make my bobbles (see video in post below for modification.) 
R1. 5 sc in MR (5)
R2. 5 Bo in each stitch (4 incomplete sc in same foundation space, then pull yarn through all 4 loops- per bobble) when finishing the final bobble, join with sc onto the first sc of this round (10)
R3. Dec around (5)
f/o leave a tail for sewing.
Body
Begin with white:
R1. 6 sc in MR (6)
R2. 6 Bo in each stitch (4 sc-leaving loops on hook in same space- then pull yarn through al 4 loops to complete the bobble) when finishing the final bobble, join with sc onto the first sc of this round (13)
R3. Add another sc into the first sc (ie- inc in the first sc) and inc around (24)
R4. 12 Bo as follows: in first loop of round: sc. In second loop of round 3 “incomplete” sc (leaving loops on hook), pull yarn through all 4 loops to make one bobble. Repeat around – so in this round, each bobble takes up the space of two loops instead of making the bobble in just one loop, around. (24)
R5. Sc around (24)
R6. 12 Bo (as in R4.) (24)
R7. Sc around (24)
R8. 12 Bo (as in R4.) (24)
R9. Dec around (12)
Switch to brown yarn:
R10-R12. Sc around (12) three times
F/o leaving open and a very long tail for attaching to the head
Assembly
Attach head to the body using whip stitch. Attach feet to body and then the tail- arranging the tail in a low enough position that Buneary can stand on its own balancing on the feet and tail (if desired.) Attach arms to body. Attach ear puffs to tips of ears – angling slightly forward on the upright ear and attaching the puff to the backside of the folded ear. Finally add details (eyes, nose, inner ears, eyebrows- which I actually forgot on the white Buneary’s on these pictures- oops) and mouth if desired by felt pieces, embroidery, or needle felting. I hope you enjoy your amigurumi Buneary!
