Design Notes

This design is built around a slim standing bunny with a large round head, gently tapered body, long relaxed ears, and simple straight arms. The dress is separate. The jacket is separate. The hat is separate. Shoes are made directly to fit the finished legs.

The floral mood of the set comes from tiny layered crochet flowers attached in vertical dress bands, clustered on the hat, placed on the bag, and echoed in the bouquet. Keep the flower colors soft and balanced, with more pink than purple.

The bunny in the image has a calm expression. Place the eyes widely apart and low on the head. The muzzle shaping is subtle, not strongly protruding. The mouth is a small stitched Y shape in dark beige or light brown.

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg lightly. Flatten the top and crochet 6 sc through both sides to close. Fasten off first leg. Finish second leg the same, but do not fasten off.

Body

Join the legs with the feet facing forward.

1. Round 1: 6 sc across second leg, 2 sc in joining gap, 6 sc across first leg, 2 sc in joining gap. (16)

14. Round 17: 20 sc. (20)
15. Round 18: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. (18)

Stuff the body firmly, shaping it into a neat cylinder with a softly rounded lower belly. The figure in the image has no pronounced tummy, so keep the body slim and smooth.

Head

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)

9. Round 18: 5 sc, dec x6. (36)
10. Round 19: 4 sc, dec x6. (30)

Insert the 8 mm safety eyes between Rounds 12 and 13, spaced about 10 stitches apart. The eyes should sit slightly wider than you may expect. This gives the bunny the gentle open face seen in the image.

Begin stuffing firmly, especially the cheeks and crown.

1. Round 20: 3 sc, dec x6. (24)
2. Round 21: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)
3. Round 22: sc, dec x6. (12)
4. Round 23: dec around. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Neck Join

Sew the head to the body with the face centered. Add a little extra stuffing into the neck if needed before fully closing. The finished neck should be short and stable so the head sits upright under the hat.

Arms Make 2

Use cream.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3-5: 12 sc. (12)
4. Round 6: 4 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc. (10)
5. Rounds 7-18: 10 sc. (10)
6. Round 19: flatten and sc through both sides for 5 sts.

Stuff only the lower half and leave the upper arm soft. This helps the sleeves drape naturally. Sew the arms to the sides of the body just below the neck, angled slightly downward.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, soft, and narrow with rounded ends. They are not stuffed.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: 12 sc. (12)
4. Round 4: 5 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc. (14)
5. Rounds 5-20: 14 sc. (14)
6. Round 21: 5 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec. (12)
7. Round 22: 12 sc. (12)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Flatten each ear. Sew to the head under the hat line, about 5 stitches back from each eye. Let them fall straight down with only a slight outward curve at the lower ends.

Facial Embroidery

Embroider a small horizontal nose centered two rounds below the eyes. From the middle of the nose, stitch a short vertical line down and split it into a soft Y shape. Add one tiny horizontal stitch at each corner if you want a faint smile.

The face in the image is minimal and polished. Do not over-sculpt the muzzle. If you like, add the slightest indent by passing thread from one side of the head to the other beneath the eyes and pulling gently.

Hat

Crown Top

Use cream.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc x6. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc x6. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc x6. (42)
8. Rounds 8-12: 42 sc. (42)

Hat Band

The hat in the image has a broad straight band with very little flare. Work one extra outer strip and attach it as a folded band.

1. Band strip: ch 9.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, 8 sc. Turn.
3. Rows 2-42: 8 sc in BLO. Adjust length to fit around the crown snugly.
4. Join short ends to form a ring.

Sew the band around the lower half of the crown so the band overlaps slightly downward. The lower edge should hide the ear joins and sit low on the forehead.

Hat Flower Cluster

Make 5 to 7 flowers in mixed shades of dusty pink, lilac, mauve, and pale blush. Use 1.5 mm hook.

Five-petal flower:

1. Round 1: 5 sc in MR, join.
2. Round 2: in each st work sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.

Layered flower:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR, join.
2. Round 2: repeat 6 times: sl st, ch 1, 2 hdc, ch 1, sl st in next st.
3. Round 3: work a second layer behind petals by joining in back loops and repeating smaller petals with sc and hdc.

Make 3 tiny leaves in sage green.

Leaf: ch 5, work sc, hdc, sc in next 3 chains, 3 sc in last chain, continue on opposite side with sc, hdc, sc, sl st.

Sew flowers and leaves into a compact cluster on the right front side of the hat. The cluster should sit high and slightly off center, with the largest flower near the middle and smaller blossoms tucked around it.

Jacket

The jacket is short, cream, and textured with horizontal rows. It has a tiny standing collar, fitted shoulders, and an open front. Make the body first as a flat piece, then add sleeves.

Back and Fronts

Use cream. Ch 31.

1. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (30)
2. Row 2: ch 1, turn, BLO sc across. (30)
3. Rows 3-10: repeat Row 2. The ribbed look creates the horizontal banding seen in the image.

Shape fronts and armholes.

1. Row 11: sc 6, turn. Left front.
2. Rows 12-15: 6 sc. Fasten off.
3. Skip center 18 sts, join yarn to remaining 6 sts. Rows 11-15: 6 sc for right front. Fasten off.
4. For back, join yarn across center 18 sts. Rows 11-16: 18 sc.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Sew shoulders by joining the top of each front to the outer back stitches, leaving 6 stitches open for the neck.

Sleeves Make 2

Work into arm opening.

1. Round 1: evenly place 14 sc around opening. (14)
2. Rounds 2-8: 14 sc in BLO. (14)
3. Round 9: 12 sc, 1 dec. (13)
4. Rounds 10-13: 13 sc. (13)
5. Round 14: 13 sl st loosely, or sc for a firmer cuff.

The sleeve should be straight and only slightly tapered. The finished sleeve reaches the wrist with the hand just showing below the cuff.

Collar and Front Finish

Join yarn at the lower right front edge. Sc evenly up the right front, around the neck, and down the left front. Add one more row of sc. For the tiny collar, work one row of BLO sc around the neck only.

Sew three miniature flower buttons down the left front edge using pink and berry shades. These should sit near the chest and upper waist, just like the image.

Dress

The dress is the key visual piece. It has a fitted bodice, a full paneled skirt, vertical flower strips, and a scalloped hem. Make it as one dress beginning at the bodice, then work the skirt downward.

Bodice

Use blush pink.

1. Ch 25.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (24)
3. Rows 2-6: 24 sc. (24)

Wrap around the bunny torso to check fit. It should close comfortably at the back without strain. Sew the short edges together to form a tube.

For the upper chest shaping, join yarn at the top edge and work one round of 24 sc. Then work a second round with 4 evenly spaced dec to shape the waist slightly. (20)

Skirt Base

Continue from the lower bodice edge.

1. Round 1: work 2 sc in each stitch around. (40)
2. Round 2: 40 sc in BLO. (40)
3. Round 3: 4 sc, inc x8. (48)
4. Round 4: 48 sc.
5. Round 5: 5 sc, inc x8. (56)
6. Round 6: 56 sc.
7. Round 7: 6 sc, inc x8. (64)
8. Rounds 8-15: 64 sc.

The skirt in the image is structured, not floppy. If you want more body, work Round 8 in hdc instead of sc, then continue in sc. Light blocking also helps the panels fall evenly.

Panel Ridges

To create the vertical satin-panel look, surface crochet or sew narrow raised lines from waist to hem. Divide the front half into five visible panels: one center panel, two flower-panel lanes, and two outer panels.

Mark the front center. Then place one vertical line 5 stitches to each side of center, and another 10 stitches to each side. This creates the same balanced panel layout shown in the image.

Use cream yarn and surface sl st from waist to hem along each marked line. Keep the stitches flat and even. These lines frame the flower strips and make the skirt look tailored.

Flower Panel Strips

Make two long strips of tiny flowers. Each strip should run from waist to hem on the front skirt, placed between the cream vertical lines. Make each strip separately, then sew it on.

Tiny flower disc:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR with berry, dusty pink, or lilac.
2. Round 2: in each st work sl st, ch 1, hdc, ch 1, sl st.

Make about 10 flowers per strip in mixed shades. Join them edge to edge with a few whip stitches so they form a neat chain. Add tiny sage leaves between some flowers.

Sew one strip down each front panel lane. The strips should begin just below the waistline and stop before the scalloped hem. They must be vertical and symmetrical.

Hem Scallops

Join dusty rose at the hem.

1. Round 1: repeat around: sl st in next st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st.

Adjust spacing if needed so the scallops finish evenly around the hem. The scallops should be soft, rounded, and clearly visible from the front. They add the feminine finish shown in the image.

Back Closure

Leave the back seam partially open from neck to upper skirt. Add small snaps or crochet loops with tiny hidden buttons. The opening is not visible from the front, so keep it neat and practical.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are cream Mary Jane flats with a small strap and bow.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Round 4: 18 sc in BLO.
5. Round 5: 18 sc.
6. Round 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
7. Round 7: 14 sc.

Insert a thin sole insert. Continue with the upper by working a short heel cup and front opening. Add a narrow chain strap across the instep and sew in place. Finish with a tiny cream bow centered at the toe.

Mini Bear Companion

This tiny bear should look dressed to match the bunny. Keep the proportions chunky and sweet, with a round head, short body, stubby limbs, a cream jacket, mauve shorts, and a small cream hat with one berry detail.

Bear Head

Use beige.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
5. Rounds 5-9: 24 sc.
6. Round 10: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)

Insert 5 mm eyes between Rounds 6 and 7. Embroider a small dark brown nose and short mouth.

1. Round 11: sc, dec x6. (12)
2. Round 12: dec around. (6)

Bear Ears Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: 12 sc.

Flatten and sew high on the head.

Bear Body

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Rounds 4-6: 18 sc.
5. Round 7: sc, dec x6. (12)
6. Round 8: 12 sc.

Bear Arms and Legs

Make four tiny tubes starting with 6 sc in MR, then work 5 to 7 rounds even. Stuff lightly and sew on. The arms should angle down. The legs should be short so the bear stands stocky.

Bear Shorts

Use dusty mauve. Make a simple skirt-like tube for the lower body, then divide with a few stitches between the legs. Keep the shorts short and snug.

Bear Jacket

Use cream. Make a very small open-front rectangle with two tiny sleeves, using the same ribbed BLO texture as the bunny jacket. Add one miniature tan button at the neck.

Bear Hat

Make a tiny cream flat-topped hat with a narrow band. Add one berry knot or one tiny flower at the side.

Handbag

The handbag is a small rectangular basket-style bag with a curved handle and flower trim across the front.

Bag Base

1. Ch 9.
2. Round 1: starting in second ch, 7 sc, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side with 6 sc, 2 sc in last ch. (18)
3. Round 2: inc at both ends to shape an oval rectangle. (22)
4. Round 3: 22 sc in BLO.
5. Rounds 4-8: 22 sc.

Insert a small plastic canvas base if desired. For the handle, chain enough to arch across the top, then work one row of sc back along the chain. Sew both ends securely inside the bag.

Add a strip of tiny flowers and leaves across the lower front. Keep the back plain. The bag should stand upright and sit beside the bunny without collapsing.

Folded Lace Shawl

This piece looks like a folded cream lace wrap or handkerchief. Make a small triangle, then fold it.

1. Ch 2.
2. Row 1: 2 sc in second ch.
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, inc, sc, inc. (4)
4. Continue increasing at each row edge until you have 20 stitches.

For the edging, work a lace border along the two short sides and the long edge using repeat groups of ch 3, sl st, and small picot-like points. Fold into a neat layered square triangle and tack with one stitch.

Bouquet

The bouquet contains mixed pastel flowers with green stems and a wrapped handle. Use leftover yarn and make several tiny blossoms in white, yellow, lavender, pink, and berry shades.

• Daisy: yellow center with 6 white petals
• Small bud: 4 sc in MR with one short stem
• Lavender spray: stem with tiny knots in lilac
• Leaf sprig: chain stem with 3 small leaves

Gather the stems, bind with pale yarn, and trim evenly. If you use wire, wrap it fully so no sharp points remain visible.

Perfume Bottle

This tiny accessory is a rounded bottle with a narrow neck and soft lilac topper.

Use pale gold or beige thread for the bottle.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: 12 sc.
4. Round 4: 4 dec, 4 sc. (8)
5. Round 5: 8 sc.
6. Round 6: dec around. (4)

For the topper, use lilac and make a tiny oval of 4 to 6 stitches. Sew or glue at the neck. Keep this piece very small so it reads as a perfume bottle beside the bouquet.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Dress the bunny first, then place the jacket over the dress. Sew the jacket closed only at the shoulder area if needed so it hangs neatly. Add the shoes last, then place the hat low over the forehead and stitch it invisibly in a few spots.

Check the ears before fixing the hat completely. They should emerge from beneath the hat band and fall straight down. Add the flower cluster only after you are happy with the hat angle.

For the face, keep the embroidery small and centered. A tiny nose, short mouth, and widely spaced glossy eyes create the calm look seen in the image. Avoid oversized blush or heavy sculpting.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from direct sunlight.
• Do not pull the flower petals or bouquet stems.
• Store the set upright to protect the hat and skirt shape.
• If the bunny is for display, secure tiny accessories separately.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and firmly attached
• Ears even in length and placement
• Dress panel lines symmetrical
• Flower strips straight on both front skirt panels
• Scalloped hem even all around
• Jacket fronts balanced
• Hat tilted slightly forward with flower cluster on one side
• Shoes matched and level
• Bear outfit coordinated with bunny colors
• Bag, shawl, bouquet, and perfume bottle completed

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For light dust, use a soft dry brush or cool air on a low setting. Spot clean only with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak, wring, or machine wash, especially with the hat flowers, jacket, and bouquet attached.

To preserve shape, dry flat and reshape the skirt scallops, hat, and ears by hand. Place acid-free tissue inside the skirt and bag if storing long term. Keep away from moisture, heavy heat, and rough handling.
