When your snuggle bunny needs a set of ears for her photos it is time to turn to your crochet hooks and whip up this Crochet Bunny Ears Headband with Flowers for a springtime flair. This free crochet pattern is quick and easy and great for beginners who have already learned the basics.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this crochet baby blanket. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information. If you would like all of this in a nicely formatted printable format, you can purchase the Ad-Free Large Print PDF Pattern.
I designed this pattern to be beginner-friendly using basic stitches and techniques. Every little girl or boy deserves to be able to have their own rabbit ears. I have also have a video tutorial in the works in case you need an extra visual aid.
For the Crochet Bunny ears Headband you will need to know how to chain, Single Crochet, work in the Back Loops Only. The pattern also includes working into the side of a stitch but I have made that part optional.
Let me tell you getting photos of this headband on my little snuggle bunny was a challenge. She wanted to hop (or crawl) everywhere and would not hold still.
If you are a fan of video tutorials scroll to the bottom to the bottom to see the video tutorial for this pattern.
For the yarn for this project, I just grabbed some Big Twist worsted weight yarn I had in my stash as well as some other size 4 yarn that I liked for the flowers. Any medium-size or worsted weight yarn will work great for this project.

The Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a printout of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted ad-free large font PDF version of the pattern. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag or basket.
I moved all the photos to the end of the PDF so you can reference them as you needed them and print just the pattern without using up as much ink. The Premium PDF version of the pattern can be purchased on Etsy of Ravelry.

Fasten off leaving a long tail to sew to the headband.
Assembling your Bunny Ears Headband
Use grey yarn and sew the inner ears to the front of the Bunny Ears. When this is complete take the bottom of the ear and fold it in half. Sew this in place just at the bottom of the ear. Assemble both ears and see them to the headband. I chose to sew my ears 2 inches apart but if I did it again I would place them right next to each other or about an inch apart.
To Attach the Mini Roses and Leaves to the headband, you have two options. You can use the yarn tails from each piece to sew the leaves and flowers in place. I actually used my hot glue gun to glue the flowers on. I felt like this gave me more control over their placement.
Please be careful using a hot glue gun.
Once your flowers are attached your Crochet Bunny Ears Headband is complete!
