When I got this extreme crochet hook a few weeks ago, my first thought was to wonder if it’s possible to make an extreme amigurumi… <\/p>\n

\"Extreme
\nThat’s my new size 50 (25mm\/1 inch) crochet hook, with a standard E US\/3.5mm hook for comparison… <\/em><\/p>\n

I raided my stash for the thickest fuzzy yarns I could find, and held three strands together as I crocheted, following my Baby Bunnies pattern<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the short answer is: yes! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/p>\n

Mega Bun is the softest, cuddliest bunny you can imagine. She’s so squeezably soft and her floppy ears are just adorable.<\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/p>\n

She measures an astounding 26″ (66cm) from nose to tail – that’s almost 6 times the size of the original Baby Bunnies…<\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/p>\n

Her puffball tail alone is the size of two Baby Bunnies stacked on top of each other!<\/p>\n

The other bunnies and guinea pigs aren’t at all bothered by her size – they’ve accepted her as one of their own and are enjoying playing with (and on) their giant cousin: <\/p>\n

\"Mega
\nAwww! Extreme cuteness!<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, the long answer to “can you crochet an extreme amigurumi” is more like “yes – with caveats…”, so don’t run out and buy a bunch of fuzzy yarn just yet! If you have any questions about Mega Bun, or want to know more about how I made her, I’ll share all the details of the process of crocheting Mega Bun (and the difficulties I encountered in trying to make an extreme amigurumi) in a separate ‘Making Of’ post, coming soon.<\/p>\n

But in the meantime, I hope my photos help you to imagine how squishably soft my adorable giant bunny is!<\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/p>\n
