This delightful amigurumi project brings Dick Bruna’s iconic character, Miffy, to life with a cheerful, summer-ready design.
Crafted using sport or DK weight yarn, this charming bunny features a sweet orange dress and an adorable carrot-shaped accessory.
The beginner-friendly pattern builds structured foundation pieces—including sturdy legs, an ear-to-ear head, and poseable arms—before seamlessly adding a flared skirt directly onto the body.
Using basic techniques like the magic ring, single crochet, and simple shaping, you will create a timeless, handmade collectible.
Perfect for holiday display or gifting, this handmade Miffy brings bright energy and nostalgic charm to any crochet collection.
