Hey, I can’t believe that we have ended the first quarter of 2021, and also 3 months of the Zodiac CAL! This month is a special month when we will crochet 2in1 zodiac amigurumi: Cat and rabbit, due to the small difference between the Vietnamese zodiac and Chinese Zodiac. I hope you enjoy zodiac rabbit amigurumi and cat amigurumi free patterns. It is, as other zodiac animals in the series, a quick make and a stash-busting crochet project!
Let’s crochet the little amigurumi kitty/bunny and win the giveaways! If you were born in April or the Cat/Bunny years, crochet for yourself. Else the zodiac rabbit/cat amigurumi will be a meaningful gift for your friends!

People born in the Year of the Rabbit/Cat are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit/Cat people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit/Cat people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
Amigurumi cat/bunny is a lovely gift to make for people who born in April or any the year of Rabbit/Cat (1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022). I am also a cat, by the way!
