Haremann
Haremann went through a few changes since his first appearence in the hugely popular (as if) The Adventures of Haremann and Harebert webcomic. But here is the hopefully final version of our hero.
Originally he is crocheted in size 40 hand-dyed Cebelia crochet cotton with 0.6mm hooks. However you can choose any type of yarn.
What you will need:
- Yarn
- Toy stuffing
- Crochet hook
- Thread for the nose
- A pair of eyes or yarn/thread if you decide on a stitched version
- Sewing needles for the threads, one of which you can thread in the yarn you do the crocheting with.
General notes
Every piece is starting with a magic circle with 6 or 5 sc in them.Determining the correct safety or glass eye size: start either with the body or the ears, the eye should be no less than 2 rows in diameter
Inc: make 2 sc (single crochet) into the same stitch
Dec: it's an almost invisible decrease, you insert your hook into the front loop only, swing around your hook and insert into the front loop of the next stitch, pull though the yarn on the two front loops and pull through again like in normal sc.
Triple dec: similar to the decrease but instead of just two stitches, you pick up the front loops of 3 stitches
How to read pattern repeats: For example (2 sc, inc) * 3 means you do the part in brackets 3 times: sc, sc, 2 sc into next stitch, sc, sc, 2 sc into next stitch, sc, sc, 2 sc into next stitch.

Tail
I usually make a pompom for the tail, however if you want to give it to kids, you should instead make a crocheted one.

Round 3 ( 3sc, inc )*3 | 15 stitches |

Round 6 (dec)*3, slip st. (not a full round) | 7 stitches |
cut yarn, stuff tail and sew to the bottom of your rabbit.
Assembly
Sew the ears on the head between Round 8’s marked stitches.
Grab pins or extra long needles and pin the head to the body, start sewing on the head at the same round where the ears are.
Sew on the arms 2 rounds below the neckline.
Pin the legs to the body, leaving a slight gap between them and with feet pointing slightly outwards.
For the nose: use pink embroidery thread. If the thread consists of 6 strands, separate them into two 3 stranded threads (we will be using just one of the two 3 stranded threads). Now grab the needle and thread in both ends in so that you have a loop at one end. Follow photos for how to stitch the nose, then hide the leftover thread inside the body by stitching it criss-crossing inside the bunny so that you only have a few centimeters left.
And we're done, yay!
