Linaria Ribbon Sailor Bunny – Crochet

If you’re shopping for the best cotton yarn for amigurumi and a smooth ergonomic crochet hook set, this sailor bunny project is a sweet way to put quality tools to work. The finished doll has clean stitches, a structured outfit, and charming accessories that look beautiful in photos and gift bundles.

To match the crisp details in the photo, I recommend washable stuffing, sturdy safety eyes, and a reliable yarn needle set for neat seams. The hat, tote bag, and tiny companion bear add “collector” value, and they’re also great add-ons if you sell handmade items or curate kits.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Project Overview

This pattern makes one large sailor bunny with a flower-trim collar, blue skirt, bow shoes, a nautical tote, a straw-style hat with purple blossoms, a tiny postcard, a pair of mini binoculars, and a small sailor bear companion.

The fabric in the photo is tight and even, with defined shaping on the head and limbs. Keep tension firm and consistent, and use invisible decreases where noted so the surface stays smooth.

Skill Level

• Confident beginner to intermediate
• Must be comfortable with working in continuous rounds, shaping, and sewing small details

Finished Size (Approximate)

• Large bunny: 10–12 in (25–30 cm) tall, depending on yarn and tension
• Small bear: 4–5 in (10–13 cm) tall
• Hat: fits bunny head snugly, sits flat like the photo

Materials

• Yarn (worsted / aran weight) in:
  • Cream (main bunny body)
  • White (shirt and shoes)
  • Dusty denim blue (skirt)
  • Navy (bows, trim, tote base, bear shorts)
  • Tan/light brown (bear body)
  • Light beige/tan (straw hat)
  • Purple (linaria-style flowers)
  • Yellow (flower centers)
  • Green (tiny leaves)
• Hook: 2.5–3.25 mm (choose a size that creates a tight fabric with your yarn)
• Safety eyes: 8–10 mm for bunny, 6 mm for bear (or embroider)
• Embroidery floss (brown or taupe) for bunny face, black for optional accents
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle, stitch markers, scissors
• Optional: thin craft wire for hat brim (not needed if your brim holds shape), fabric glue for postcard (or just crochet it)

Abbreviations (US Terms)

• ch = chain
• st = stitch
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• inc = increase (2 sc in same st)
• dec = decrease (use invisible decrease when possible)
• FLO = front loop only
• BLO = back loop only
• ( ) = repeat instructions in parentheses
• [ ] = stitch count at end of round

Gauge and Tension

Exact gauge is not critical, but stitch density is. Your fabric should feel firm and not show stuffing through the stitches.

If your stitches look loose, go down a hook size. If your pieces curl heavily or feel stiff like cardboard, go up a hook size.

Color Notes to Match the Photo

• The bunny body is a soft cream, not bright white.
• The blouse is white, with a navy neck bow and a blue collar band holding purple blossoms.
• The skirt is dusty denim blue, with a vertical floral trim on the bunny’s right side (viewer’s right).
• The tote is navy with a white anchor and a white scallop top edge.
• The straw hat is beige with a navy band and a cluster of purple flowers on one side.

Construction Notes

• Work body parts in continuous rounds unless stated.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
• Stuff as you go, adding small amounts and shaping with your fingers.
• For the smooth look in the photo, use invisible decreases on visible areas (head and body).
• Leave long tails for sewing, and keep seams tidy with small whip stitches.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the bunny head to the body, centered and secure. Add ears on top of the head, angled slightly outward and spaced evenly like the photo. Sew arms to the sides just below the blouse shoulder line, with a relaxed downward angle.

Embroider the bunny face: stitch a small triangle nose, then a short vertical line down, then a neat “Y” split for the mouth. Keep it minimal and centered. Tie off securely inside the head and hide ends.

Care Notes

• Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid soaking the hat brim and accessories to preserve shape.
• If using safety eyes, keep the finished piece away from very young children.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is firmly stuffed, smooth, and symmetrical.
• Ears match in height and angle.
• Collar sits flat and flowers are secured tightly.
• Skirt hangs evenly and the floral side strip is aligned on the right side.
• Shoes fit snugly and bows are centered.
• Bag scallops are even, and the anchor is centered.
• Hat band and flower cluster are placed like the photo.
• Bear outfit is tacked so it won’t slide.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For long-term display, dust gently with a soft brush and store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If the piece needs deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and press—do not rub—over textured areas like flowers and scallops.

To preserve the brim shape, store the hat flat. Keep the tote and small accessories in a breathable pouch so stitches do not snag. If stuffing shifts, massage the area lightly and reshape with your hands before storing.
