Saxifraga Honey-Trim Bunny – Crochet

This elegant crochet bunny set is designed as a collectible amigurumi doll with a soft peach wardrobe, delicate floral trims, and heirloom-style accessories. It suits makers searching for a handmade bunny doll, crochet gift idea, spring decor piece, or boutique amigurumi design with a polished finish.

The finished set includes the bunny, hat, bolero, dress, shoes, clutch, fan, bouquet, lace handkerchief, and a tiny cow companion. It is ideal for those who love artisan crochet toys, nursery keepsakes, premium handmade doll styling, and charming display pieces that look gift-shop ready.

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

Overview

This design creates a standing bunny with a large round head, long floppy ears, slim arms, sturdy legs, and a softly flared dress. The look is gentle and refined, with cream as the main body color and a pale peach accent used through the outfit and accessories.

The bunny’s face is minimal. It has small black safety eyes, a tiny stitched nose in warm beige, and a short centered mouth line. The expression should remain sweet and calm, so avoid large features or heavy sculpting.

The outfit is what defines this piece. A peach dress with a full skirt sits under a short cream bolero. The bolero has peach edging and small white bobble-like trim near the front edges and shoulder line.

A tilted cream hat sits above one ear. It is decorated with a peach flower cluster, green leaves, and a pearl-like hatband. Matching floral detailing appears on the dress front as a cascading applique.

Several small props complete the composition. These are a pale blush clutch, a half-folded hand fan, a peach bouquet, a white lace handkerchief, and a tiny cow doll wearing a peach suit. Every small item adds to the finished display.

Construction Notes

• Work the bunny body parts in continuous rounds unless noted.
• Use a tight tension so stuffing does not show.
• Stuff the head firmly and the limbs moderately.
• The dress is made as a separate garment and sewn or lightly tacked in place.
• The bolero is made flat in rows, then joined at the shoulders.
• The hat is lightly tilted to the bunny’s left side in the photo.
• The floral cascade is applied diagonally from the right waist toward the lower left skirt front.
• The mini cow is tiny and simplified, but still shaped enough to match the image.

Main Bunny

Head

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
7. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
8. Round 8: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
9. Round 9: (7 sc, inc) around. (54)
10. Rounds 10-22: sc around. (54)

Place the safety eyes between Rounds 15 and 16 with about 12 stitches between them. The eyes should sit low and centered, leaving ample forehead space because the head appears large, smooth, and gently rounded in the image.

1. Round 23: (7 sc, dec) around. (48)
2. Round 24: (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
3. Round 25: (5 sc, dec) around. (36)

Begin stuffing firmly. The face should remain full, not flattened. Add extra stuffing at the cheeks and upper head so the finished shape looks like a neat sphere with only very slight chin taper.

1. Round 26: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
2. Round 27: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
3. Round 28: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
4. Round 29: (sc, dec) around. (12)
5. Round 30: dec around. (6)

Fasten off, close the opening, and weave in the tail.

Facial Embroidery

Using beige or taupe yarn, stitch a tiny inverted triangle nose centered one round below the eyes. Add a short vertical line extending down from the point. Keep the mouth subtle and delicate.

If desired, lightly brush pink blush onto the cheek area with textile-safe blush or colored pencil. Keep it faint. The original look is very soft and natural, not heavily shaded.

Ears Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: (2 sc, dec, 2 sc, sc) around. (21)
7. Rounds 10-12: sc around. (21)
8. Round 13: (5 sc, dec) around. (18)
9. Rounds 14-16: sc around. (18)
10. Round 17: (4 sc, dec) around. (15)
11. Rounds 18-22: sc around. (15)

Flatten the ear opening and sew the bottom closed only halfway, leaving a softly cupped base. Do not stuff. The ears should drape long and straight with a rounded tip and very slight inward curve.

Sew the ears to the sides of the head between about Rounds 7 and 13. Angle them so they fall close to the cheeks. In the image, both ears hang downward and frame the face evenly.

Neck and Body

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-6: sc around. (24)
6. Round 7: BLO sc around. (24)
7. Rounds 8-11: sc around. (24)
8. Round 12: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
9. Round 13: sc around. (30)
10. Round 14: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
11. Rounds 15-18: sc around. (36)
12. Round 19: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
13. Round 20: sc around. (30)
14. Round 21: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the body firmly, especially the lower section, because the doll must stand under the skirt. If needed, add a small weighted pouch or insert at the base.

1. Round 22: sc around. (24)
2. Round 23: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)

Fasten off with a long tail for sewing. The neck should remain narrow compared with the head. That contrast is important for the doll-like silhouette shown in the image.

Arms Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3-5: sc around. (12)
4. Round 6: (4 sc, dec) twice. (10)
5. Rounds 7-18: sc around. (10)

Stuff only the lower two-thirds of each arm. Flatten the opening and sew closed. The arms in the image are long, slim, and slightly tapered, with a gentle curve inward toward the body.

Legs Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)
5. Round 5: sc around. (18)
6. Round 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
7. Round 7: sc around. (14)
8. Round 8: 4 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (12)
9. Rounds 9-22: sc around. (12)

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg moderately. Flatten the top slightly so it joins neatly to the body underside. The legs should be slim and straight, with only a small foot projection visible from under the dress.

Shoes Make 2

The bunny wears cream shoes with a simple Mary Jane look. They should fit snugly over the feet and show a narrow strap effect across the top.

1. Ch 7.
2. Round 1: starting in second chain from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, work opposite side, sc 4, inc in last ch. (14)
3. Round 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. Round 3: BLO sc around. (20)
5. Round 4: sc around. (20)
6. Round 5: 5 sc, 5 dec, 5 sc. (15)
7. Round 6: sc around. (15)

Fasten off. Slip each shoe onto the foot and stitch around the edge invisibly. Add a small chain or embroidered strap line across the instep. The shoe should look neat, flat-soled, and understated.

Assembly of Bunny Base

1. Sew the head to the body securely.
2. Sew the legs evenly to the base of the body.
3. Check standing balance before fully tightening.
4. Sew the arms at the upper side of the body just below the neck.
5. Attach the ears after confirming hat placement.

Before dressing the bunny, confirm that the head sits straight and the eyes face forward. The whole figure should look symmetrical even though the final styling becomes slightly off-center because of the tilted hat and floral cascade.

Dress

Bodice

The dress has a fitted peach bodice with narrow shoulder straps and a full skirt attached below the waist. It should sit high on the chest and leave room for the short cream bolero over the top.

1. Ch 26.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (25)
3. Rows 2-7: ch 1, turn, sc across. (25)

Wrap the strip around the bunny torso to check fit. It should meet snugly at the back. Join into a ring or sew later after fitting.

For straps, mark 5 front center stitches and 5 back center stitches. Leave 5 stitches for each underarm section. Adjust one stitch either way if needed for your tension.

1. Strap 1: Join yarn at one front strap point, ch 8, attach to matching back point, sl st.
2. Strap 2: Repeat on the other side.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Reinforce the bodice top edge with a round of sl st or sc for a clean line. Sew the bodice closed around the bunny. The fit should be smooth and close, not loose.

Skirt

Join peach yarn to the lower edge of the bodice and work into the foundation edge all around. Space stitches evenly.

1. Round 1: 36 sc evenly around. (36)
2. Round 2: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
3. Round 3: sc around. (42)
4. Round 4: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
5. Round 5: sc around. (48)
6. Round 6: (7 sc, inc) around. (54)
7. Round 7: sc around. (54)
8. Round 8: (8 sc, inc) around. (60)
9. Rounds 9-18: sc around. (60)
10. Round 19: (9 sc, inc) around. (66)
11. Rounds 20-23: sc around. (66)

The skirt should flare smoothly into a bell shape. Steam lightly if needed so it spreads evenly. Do not over-stiffen it. The original image shows a soft drape rather than a sharply structured cone.

Bolero

This small cream bolero covers the shoulders and upper chest only. It has short sleeves, open front edges, peach trim, and pearl-like accents near the front opening and sleeve edge.

1. Ch 29.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (28)
3. Rows 2-5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (28)

Mark the row for shaping: 7 stitches front, 14 stitches back, 7 stitches front.

1. Row 6: sc 7, ch 6, skip 6, sc 8, ch 6, skip 6, sc 7.
2. Row 7: sc across including chains.
3. Rows 8-10: ch 1, turn, sc across.

Fasten off. Fold gently at the shoulder line and sew the underarm seams for very short sleeves. The garment should sit cropped just above the dress waistline.

Bolero Edging

Using peach yarn, work one round of sl st or very even sc around the entire front opening, neck, hem, and sleeve edges. Keep the trim slim and tidy.

Using white yarn or tiny pearl beads, add a dotted trim down both front edges and around the upper shoulder line. If using beads, sew them individually after blocking the bolero in place.

Dress Floral Cascade

The front decoration includes a diagonal vine of peach flowers with green leaves. It begins near the right side of the waist and falls toward the lower left front skirt area in the image.

Small Flower Make 5

1. With peach yarn, make MR.
2. Into ring work: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) five times.
3. Pull ring closed tightly.

Flatten each flower and stitch a tiny white or pearl bead at the center. Slightly overlap a few petals with your fingers so the flowers look softly dimensional rather than perfectly flat.

Leaves Make 8 to 10

1. With green yarn, ch 6.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.
3. Work on opposite side if desired for fuller leaf, then fasten off with sewing tail.

Vine Placement

1. Pin the largest flower cluster near the right waist.
2. Add two flowers below it on a slight diagonal.
3. Add two more lower down, tapering the arrangement.
4. Place leaves in pairs and singles between flowers.
5. Embroider a green stem line linking the elements.

Keep the vine narrow and elegant. Do not cover too much of the skirt. The original piece leaves most of the skirt plain, with the applique serving as a refined accent rather than all-over decoration.

Hat

Hat Crown

1. With cream yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-7: sc around. (24)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Hat Brim

1. Round 8: BLO (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
2. Round 9: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
3. Round 10: sc around. (36)
4. Round 11: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
5. Round 12: sc around. (42)

Lightly flatten the brim with steam or finger pressing. The hat in the image has a neat, shallow brim and a short crown. It sits at a jaunty angle over the bunny’s left side.

Hatband and Decorations

Sew a row of pearl beads or white French knots around the base of the crown. Make 2 or 3 peach flowers and 2 small green leaves, then attach them at one side of the brim.

Add a short curved green stem rising upward from the flower cluster for the same airy effect shown in the image. Sew the hat securely to the head after final ear placement.

Clutch Purse

The purse is a soft blush rectangle with a slightly gathered top. It looks satin-like in the image, but for crochet consistency you can recreate it with very tight stitches and optional fabric lining.

1. With cream or very pale blush yarn, ch 13.
2. Round 1: sc around the chain oval to total 22 sts.
3. Rounds 2-8: sc around. (22)

Flatten the piece. Thread yarn through the top round and pull lightly to create a soft gathered opening. Sew nearly closed. Add a tiny pearl near one side if desired.

If you want a smoother look closer to the image, line the clutch with pale satin fabric and insert a small scrap of batting. Keep the shape low and slightly puffy.

Hand Fan

The fan is peach with a cream inner section and a scalloped outer edge. It is shown folded open in a half-circle on the table.

1. With cream yarn, ch 2.
2. Row 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook. Turn.
3. Row 2: inc across. (12)
4. Row 3: (sc, inc) across. (18)
5. Row 4: (2 sc, inc) across. (24)

Fasten off cream. Join peach yarn to the curved outer edge.

1. Edge row: *(sc, hdc, sc) in next stitch, sl st in next stitch* across curved edge.

For the handle side, gather the straight edge slightly and wrap with cream yarn. If desired, back the fan with thin cardboard cut in a half-circle so it keeps a crisp display shape.

Bouquet

The bouquet is small and rounded, tied with cream wrapping. It contains clustered peach flowers and several pointed green leaves.

Bouquet Flowers

Make 3 to 5 small flowers using the same flower method from the dress cascade. Create one slightly fuller flower by working six petals instead of five.

Bouquet Leaves

Make 4 to 6 leaves using the leaf pattern. Keep them a little longer than the dress leaves for a bouquet effect.

Assembly

1. Twist the flower bases together.
2. Add the leaves around the outside.
3. Wrap the stems tightly with cream yarn.
4. Secure with a few stitches and trim evenly.

The bouquet should look compact and handheld, not long-stemmed. Add one pearl center to the most visible flower for a refined finish.

Handkerchief

The handkerchief in the image is a white square with lace-like edging. You can use real lace fabric or crochet a tiny version.

Crocheted Version

1. With white yarn, ch 11.
2. Rows 1-10: sc across. (10)

Do not cut yarn. Work edging around all sides: *(sl st, ch 3, sl st in next st)* evenly around, placing extra repeats in the corners. Lightly block flat.

If you prefer a more realistic textile look, cut a small square of white cotton and sew narrow lace around the edges. That method matches the photographed prop very well.

Mini Cow Companion

This tiny cow stands beside the bunny and wears a peach one-piece outfit with white chest detail. One ear appears black, and there is a black spot on the head. The body is very small and cute.

Cow Head

1. With cream yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
7. Round 10: sc around. (18)
8. Round 11: (sc, dec) around. (12)

Insert tiny eyes between Rounds 6 and 7. Stuff firmly. Close after adding the muzzle.

Cow Muzzle

1. With light pink yarn, ch 5.
2. Round 1: sc 3, 3 sc in last ch, work opposite side, sc 2, inc. (10)
3. Round 2: inc, 2 sc, 3 inc, 2 sc, 2 inc. (16)

Sew to the lower front of the head. Embroider two nostrils in darker pink or brown. Add a tiny smile only if desired.

Cow Ears and Horns

• Make one cream ear and one black ear, each as a tiny oval leaf shape.
• Make two tiny beige or tan horns as 4 sc in MR, then one round even.

Sew the horns at the top of the head and place the ears outward. Add a black patch on one side of the face or upper head to match the photo mood.

Cow Body

1. With peach yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-6: sc around. (18)
5. Round 7: switch to white for center front stitches only if desired, otherwise embroider panel later.
6. Round 8: (sc, dec) around. (12)
7. Round 9: sc around. (12)

Stuff lightly and close. The body should be short and compact, with the outfit effect created by color changes and tiny decorative stitches.

Cow Arms and Legs

Make tiny tube limbs in peach, ending the feet and hands in black or dark brown. Use 6 to 8 stitches per round. Keep the limbs short so the cow looks squat and adorable.

Sew the arms at the upper body sides and the legs underneath. The cow should stand or lean securely when posed next to the bunny.

Cow Outfit Details

• Add two or three tiny white buttons down the front
• Use white at the shirt center
• Keep sleeves and shorts peach
• Leave the hooves dark

Detailed Styling Notes

Positioning matters in this set. The bunny stands centered, with the clutch, fan, bouquet, and handkerchief placed in front. The mini cow sits to the bunny’s right side from the viewer’s perspective.

The hat should not be centered. It is tilted slightly left and forward. That off-center placement gives the bunny a dressed, formal, and storybook appearance.

The floral cascade should sit on the bunny’s right side of the bodice, then sweep diagonally across the skirt. This creates visual balance opposite the tilted hat.

The bolero front stays open. Do not overlap the edges like a cardigan. The peach edging around the bolero must remain visible, since it frames the outfit and ties the cream pieces to the peach dress.

The shoes should barely peek out beneath the dress hem. If your skirt is too short, add one or two extra rounds. If it is too long, reduce the final straight rounds before finishing.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

• Sew the ears first, then test the hat placement before fixing it permanently.
• Attach the dress and bolero only after the bunny base is fully balanced.
• Embroider the nose in a very small triangle and keep the mouth line short.
• Add blush lightly so the face stays soft and natural.
• Sew all pearls and flowers securely with matching thread.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from direct sunlight.
• Do not machine wash if beads, fabric lining, or glued trims are used.
• Store the fan and bouquet flat when not displayed.
• Keep the handkerchief clean and dry to preserve its crisp look.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is centered and firmly attached
• Ears hang evenly
• Hat tilts slightly left
• Dress flares smoothly
• Bolero edges are trimmed in peach
• Flower vine runs diagonally across the front
• Shoes show below hem
• All props are complete
• Mini cow has one dark ear and peach outfit

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

• Dust gently with a soft dry brush every few weeks.
• For light soil, spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap.
• Never soak pieces with beads, cardboard inserts, or lined accessories.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat away from heat.
• Wrap accessories in tissue if storing long term.
• Use an acid-free box for archival storage of display dolls.

Completion

This full crochet set is all about graceful proportions and careful finishing. The large head, long ears, slim limbs, peach dress, tiny props, and miniature cow companion work together to create the exact soft, romantic mood shown in the image.

Take your time with placement, especially on the hat, bolero trim, and floral cascade. Those details transform a simple amigurumi bunny into a polished decorative piece with the same elegant presence as the photographed design.
