About This Valentine Crochet Bunny Project
This Valentine crochet project is made up of two coordinating pieces: an amigurumi bunny and a string of heart bunting. In this version, the bunny is crocheted using plush yarn for a soft, huggable finish, while the heart bunting is made with sport weight yarn to keep the hearts neat, lightweight, and easy to drape. You can mix yarn types or adjust the scale to suit your preferred look — full material details are included in each individual pattern.
This project typically uses:
Chenille or plush yarn for the amigurumi bunny
Sport weight yarn for the heart bunting
A crochet hook suited to your chosen yarn

The Amigurumi Bunny Pattern
Lulu is clumsy and always in a tangle in her heart garland… but she never fails to wrap her friends in love!
Lulu the bunny forms the sweet base of this Valentine project. Her body is designed in a sitting position, with popcorn stitches used to shape her little limbs and a bobble stitch tail adding a playful touch at the back. These textured details give Lulu plenty of character while keeping the construction fun and engaging to crochet.
Lulu works just as well as a standalone plush, or paired with the heart bunting to create a charming Valentine gift for home decorators, craft lovers, or anyone who appreciates a little handmade humour.
The Valentine Heart Bunting
The Valentine heart bunting adds a festive, decorative touch to this project and pairs perfectly with Lulu’s love for decorating — even if she sometimes gets a little tangled up. It’s worked continuously along a foundation chain, with alternating red and pink hearts crocheted directly into the strand, so there’s no sewing involved.
This heart bunting works beautifully wrapped around the bunny, draped over a shelf, or used as a standalone Valentine decoration. It’s quick to crochet and easy to customize by changing the heart colors or the length of the garland to suit your space.
Making Them as a Set
When paired together, Lulu the bunny and the heart bunting create a playful Valentine project with lots of personality. The pieces are not sewn together, so you can tie or drape the garland around Lulu’s body, ears, or paws for a cheeky, slightly tangled look — just like in this example.
If you’re curious how this project looks in different yarn sizes, the video below shows how the same patterns can be made in mini or plush versions. It also shares ideas for styling the bunny and garland together, whether you’re creating a small Valentine decoration or a gift-sized plush.
