While the crochet watermelon bunny plushie was definitely oh-so cute, I thought you would LOVE that crochet beach bunny plushie, too. So, here is a free crochet pattern to make another animal fruit combo plushie that you can use as a beach tote bag charm. Our idea will be the same as part 1: to crochet a Miffy bunny head amigurumi and a cinched peach amigurumi separately.
Then sew them so the top is the bunny’s head and the bottom is the amigurumi peach. This time, we will also crochet the leaf of the crocheted fruit. For the pink of the ears and the cheeks, you will need some makeup powder, too. You can crochet it as a gift for a dear one. Now, continue reading for the full bunny plushie pattern.

- Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (18 sts)
- Round 4: (1 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc) repeat 6 times. (24 sts)

Bunny Ears (Make 2)
Use White yarn.
- Step 1: ch 7.
- Step 2: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work down the chain: 1 sl st, 2 sc, 2 hdc, and in the last chain, work 7 dc all in the same stitch.
- Step 3: Rotate the work to crochet up the opposite side of the chain. Work symmetrically: 2 hdc, 2 sc, 1 sl st.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Peach Body
Use Peach/Pink yarn. Work in continuous rounds.
- Round 1: Make a MR with 6 sc. (6 sts)
- Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat 3 times. (9 sts)

Creating the Peach Crease: Thread the remaining long tail onto a needle.
Insert the needle through the bottom center of the peach and pull it out near the top center
(around Round 2). Pull the yarn down the outside of the peach back to the bottom center,
pulling tightly to create an indent (the “crease” of the peach). Knot to secure and weave in the end.
Peach Leaf
Use Green yarn.
- Step 1: ch 10.
- Step 2: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work down the chain:
1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc.
In the last chain, work 3 sc in the same stitch. - Step 3: Rotate the work to crochet up the opposite side of the chain.
Work symmetrically: 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. - Step 4: sl st into the first sc of the round.
Fasten off, ch 1 to secure, and leave a tail for attaching.
Assembly & Details
- Embroider the Face: Split a piece of black yarn so it is thinner.
On the bunny head, embroider the eyes and nose/mouth around Round 6.
Use pink yarn to embroider a small nose detail if desired. - Attach the Ears: Sew the two bunny ears securely to the top of the white bunny head.
- Attach the Leaf: Use hot glue or sew the green leaf to the top indentation of the peach body.
- Attach Head to Peach: Use hot glue or sew the bottom of the bunny head onto the top of the peach body
(nestled slightly in front of or next to the leaf). - Finishing Touches: Add a bit of makeup blush to the bunny’s cheeks and inside the ears
for a cute, rosy finish!
