In this post
This bunny's head and body are worked in one continuous piece — no sewing a head onto a body, which is where most amigurumi start to look wobbly. You just decrease for the neck and increase again for the body. Long ears, little arms and feet, and a fluffy tail finish it off.
The rest of this post is just below — free, as always.

Common questions
Is this bunny safe for babies?
For babies under three, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes, skip any small add-ons and sew all parts very securely.
How do I make the ears stand up?
Stuff them lightly, or slide a chenille stem inside (decor only, not for children).
Can I use fluffy yarn?
Velvet or chenille yarn makes an incredibly soft bunny, but stitches are hard to see — use a stitch marker every round.
