8. How To Get Crochet Bunny Ears To Stand Up?
To get crochet bunny ears to stand up, you’ll want to add some structure during or after crocheting.
One of the most effective ways is to insert pipe cleaners, floral wire, or craft wire inside the ears before sewing them onto your project—this gives them bendable support while keeping them upright.
If you prefer a softer option, you can crochet the ears using tight stitches (like single crochet) and stiffen them with fabric stiffener or starch spray.
Adding an extra layer of stitches around the edge or doubling the fabric by making two ear pieces and sewing them together can also help create a firmer shape.
When attaching the ears to a hat or plushie, make sure they’re sewn on securely and angled slightly forward for better balance and that cute bunny look.
