Bunny kids onesie pyjamas description

The Bunny kids onesie free crochet pattern is designed to fit children aged 2 to 10 years old. My doll sized bunny onesie was such a huge hit I just had to design a matching version for toddlers and children! I also have a crochet pattern for a matching bunny sleep mask available.

The hooded onesie buttons up the front and has floppy bunny ears and a pompom rabbit tail. The jumpsuit makes a great dress up costume for Easter or an all-year-round sleepsuit.

How to crochet a bunny onesie for children

The bunny kids onesie free crochet pattern is easy skill level. You will need to know all your basic crochet stitches. You’ll also need to know how to increase and decrease.

The kids onesie is made in one-piece and the bunny ears, tail, and buttons are sewn on at the end. Overall it’s a very fun and easy crochet pattern. The pattern includes sizes for ages 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, and 9-10 years.

Since all children are different, there’s also helpful tips throughout the pattern to tell you how to alter the length of the torso, legs and sleeves if you need to. To make the bunny kids onesie, I used worsted (weight 4) yarn and a I used a 5mm crochet hook.

Completing your gauge swatch is essential for this project. Being just a row or a stitch out will result in your onesie not fitting. After you complete your gauge swatch, adjust your hook size if you need to. I also recommend checking your gauge on the sleepsuit after you complete each section to ensure your tension is consistent.
