Rabbit face: Amigurumi Face Placement Planner

Use tall eye ovals to change expression

The rabbit study uses a twenty-four-position head reference and ten recorded rounds. Its vertical eye ovals differ from the compact bear marks: each has a half-width of one quarter of a stitch interval and a half-height of six tenths of a round. Centers sit at stitches nine and fifteen on round five. Establish front center stitch twelve before transferring those coordinates; a spiral marker at the back does not establish the front by itself.

Make a lozenge nose with four distinct corners

Mark the upper nose point at position twelve on round 5.65, the right point at 12.5 on round six, the lower point at twelve on round 6.35 and the left point at 11.5 on round six. Join those points in order with short embroidery stitches and close the outline. The shape is a four-sided lozenge, rather than the triangular bear nose with a changed color. Its center coincides with the numerical front line.

Connect only the intended lower features

The short central line begins slightly above the lowest nose point, at round 6.3, and finishes on round 6.7. That small overlap connects the drawn elements without requiring a second nose. The paired mouth curves share the central endpoint and reach positions 11.2 and 12.8. Their control landmarks are on round 7.2. Couching a curved strand preserves the smooth shape; treating the control as a backstitched corner changes the expression.

FAQ and adjustment choices

Are the eyes six stitches wide?

No. Six is the separation between their centers. Each eye is only half an interval wide overall in the placement drawing.

Where are the ears?

This file plans surface features on an existing head. Ear construction and attachment belong to the creature pattern and can change how you choose the front.

Can I stretch the oval to three rounds?

That creates a different feature size. Keep this exact project as a comparison, test the new size temporarily and save the revised design separately rather than assuming the original SVG still describes it.

Exact setup, compatible head reference and finishing

Open the Amigurumi Face Placement Planner and choose rabbit, circumference 24, height 10 and eye separation 6. The reference below assumes an existing single-crochet head with six stitches in a magic ring, then six evenly distributed increases on each round until 24 stitches. Work three even rounds, then six evenly distributed decreases per round until six remain; close those final loops with the tail. This optional arithmetic reference has 10 worked rounds. Its maximum-count band provides a reference for the eye line and nearby feature anchors. Fractional curve controls are guide locations; check their position on the actual curved surface rather than assuming every referenced level has the maximum circumference. Swatch and finish a physical head before assessing the actual fit.

The placement tool generates embroidery instructions, not that head construction. Use a tapestry needle and suitable contrasting yarn, transfer temporary landmarks, then follow the complete paths below. Round coordinates increase downward on this unwrapped face map. Fractional locations lie between markers. Short backstitches follow straight paths; curved strands are couched to the drawn guide. Secure each separate tail inside without pulling the surface inward. Review the chart-reading guide and keep the exact project JSON with your chosen trial. US and UK modes retain the same coordinates. No physical crochet or toy certification is implied by the calculated example.

1. rabbit placement trial on an existing head: mark front center stitch 12. Eyes are centered at stitches 9 and 15 on round 5; separation 6 stitch intervals (5 numbered positions strictly between). left-eye: embroider an oval centered at (9, R5), half-width 0.25 stitch intervals and half-height 0.6 rounds; yarn slot 2. right-eye: embroider an oval centered at (15, R5), half-width 0.25 stitch intervals and half-height 0.6 rounds; yarn slot 2. nose: backstitch (12, R5.65) → (12.5, R6) → (12, R6.35) → (11.5, R6), close to the first point; yarn slot 2. philtrum: backstitch (12, R6.3) → (12, R6.7); yarn slot 2. left-mouth: couch a curve from (11.2, R6.7) through control (11.6, R7.2) to (12, R6.7); yarn slot 2. right-mouth: couch a curve from (12, R6.7) through control (12.4, R7.2) to (12.8, R6.7); yarn slot 2. Fractional coordinates are between stitch or round markers; curve controls guide the shape and are not extra insertion points. Compare temporary threads on the stuffed head, then secure each separate strand inside without distorting the surface. This plan references 24 head positions; it does not make 24 new crochet stitches. [24 existing head reference positions]
