Droopy-Eared Sock Bunny Sewing Pattern

We’re in the mood for some hopping! So, right after the earlier sock bunny (Baby) sewing fun, we’re going straight to sew sock bunny into another version – the droopy ear sock bunny. You’re going to enjoy this one. I call it the kawaii version, and it’s called Bibi. With droopy ears and somehow, I know it will be a great bunny toy for children, so give it a try!

Look at BiBi – it can sit on its own, looking cute and adorable after hopping around the garden. BiBi loves scampering here and there, hiding behind pretty flowers, and keeping really quiet. Then, it jumps out when someone passes by, with its paws out and a big grin, showing its two front teeth. It loves to surprise unsuspecting children with a giggle and present them with a daisy. Sometimes, you can find it sitting down, covered in the hay after a good roll around.

Sew Sock Bunny – BiBi

BiBi is sewn from a single sock, so if you have some socks lying around that you never want to wear again, make many, many BiBis from those, and you’ll never have to worry about what to do with them. If you have a pair, make twin BiBis. That’ll look really adorable!

I have made quite a lot of sewing patterns & tutorials of different sock stuffed animals earlier; check out sock monkey stuffed animal, sock cat stuffed animal, and even sock stuffed skeleton for all the fun we can have with stuffed socks. Making BiBi is no different – so if you had fun with all of them, you would definitely enjoy the process of sewing sock bunny, BiBi, and this droopy ear sock bunny. For one thing, BiBi is different because its ears flopped, so it looks like it is always ready to listen to what you have to say.

You will feel less lonely – on the window sill as a decoration, on your side table beside your children’s bed, or even on the car dashboard – BiBi can keep you company. You can also try making BiBi a bunny sachet like this one here.

Here, the tutorial is a little simplified – for details on each step, you can read sock animal patterns & tutorials for all the specifics, such as how to sew a sock animal, the stuffing, and markings on the socks. Generally, the craft instructions are the same.

Another tip that I find quite important is the stuffing of the socks. I always stuff my sock animal densely so that the shape is easy to manipulate. A pair of blunt point tweezers is a good helper in the stuffing. Use the tweezers to grab the poly-filling and push it in. Besides, it is also great for turning small pieces right side out after sewing.

As mentioned in the instructions of all my sock animal patterns and tutorial, be the socks new or used, always pre-washed them before sewing. Since sock animals are usually given to kids, it is still best to keep them safe from harmful chemicals that have been used in the manufacturing process. The sock animals can be wash with mild soap, gentle rinse then dry it under the sunlight for disinfection.

Let’s get ready to sew sock bunny and make many BiBi!
