There is just something adorably cute about crocheting floppy bunny ears, and now you can add them to your favorite hat pattern to maximize the cuteness!

Plus, they are super easy to work up because of the simple stitches that are used! If you can single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet then you can make this simple bunny hat.

These crochet ears and crochet hat are so easy to make, use a tiny bit of yarn and, like I said before, are simply cute! I mean, look at those crochet bunny ears!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Bunny Hat!

I used Wool Ease Thick & Quick from Lion Brand Yarn, which is a super bulky 6 yarn for this whole bunny hat. I used the colors Fisherman and Bubble Gum.

Note: As of February 2020, the Bubble Gum Color is no longer available, but I highly suggest using Blossom in its place.

I highly recommend sticking with this same brand of yarn to get the same outcome in size and look as mine. I will link up the yarn below so you can check it out and pick your colors.
