Materials

• Light worsted cotton yarn or soft cotton blend in these shades:
  • Warm beige for head, legs, arms, and outer ears
  • Soft blush pink for jacket
  • Cream for dress, hat band detail, cup, and flower centers
  • Off-white for lace trim and bouquet petals
  • Light brown for teddy bear and handbag
  • Sage green for small leaves
• 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm crochet hook, or the size needed for very tight stitches
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Black safety eyes, about 8 mm
• Embroidery thread in beige, blush, and black
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Pins for placement
• Thin cardboard or plastic canvas scraps for stabilizing the bag base if desired
• Craft wire or pipe cleaner for the handbag handle if you want extra firmness

Finished Size

The bunny sits at about 8 to 9 inches tall from the bottom of the feet to the top of the hat. The ears fall to shoulder level. The teddy is about 2 inches tall. The handbag is about 2 inches wide. The teacup is about 1 inch across.

Gauge and Style Notes

This design depends more on proportion than exact gauge. Use a hook small enough that stuffing will not show through. The stitches in the photo are compact, smooth, and even, so a firm amigurumi fabric is important. Keep tension tight on all small accessories.

The bunny has a round head, a compact pear-shaped body, short thick legs, small tapered arms, and long flat ears. The clothing is soft and fitted instead of oversized. The dress sits high on the body, and the jacket ends at the waist.

The set looks best when every piece is lightly stuffed or shaped with care. Avoid overstuffing the head and body. The toy in the image has a gentle, calm silhouette, so neat shaping matters more than extra firmness.

Stuff the foot firmly and the upper part a little lighter. Flatten the top opening of each leg. Fasten off the first leg. Do not fasten off the second leg.

Body

The body is joined from the legs and worked upward. It is rounded at the lower half and gently narrowed at the shoulders. The bunny in the image has a seated body hidden under the dress, so the shape should support sitting without looking bulky.

1. Join the legs with 4 ch. Attach to the first leg and begin working around both legs and both sides of the chain bridge.
2. Rnd 1: 15 sc around first leg, 4 sc across chain, 15 sc around second leg, 4 sc across opposite side of chain. (38)
3. Rnd 2: sc around. (38)
4. Rnd 3: 8 sc, inc, 10 sc, inc, 8 sc, inc, 10 sc, inc. (42)
5. Rnd 4-7: sc around. (42)
6. Rnd 8: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
7. Rnd 9-10: sc around. (36)
8. Rnd 11: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
9. Rnd 12-13: sc around. (30)
10. Rnd 14: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
11. Rnd 15: sc around. (24)
12. Rnd 16: 2 sc, dec around. (18)

Stuff the body firmly at the base and medium-firm at the chest. Keep the lower front a little rounded so the dress will drape nicely. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing the head.

Head

The head is nearly spherical with a slight flattening at the bottom and a soft cheek line. The face is simple and sweet, with spaced black eyes and a tiny embroidered nose and mouth placed low on the face.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rnd 9-16: sc around. (48)

Insert the safety eyes between rnds 11 and 12 with about 8 visible stitches between them. Check the expression before securing. The eyes in the image are balanced, level, and not too large.

1. Rnd 17: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
2. Rnd 18: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
3. Rnd 19: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
4. Rnd 20: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

Stuff the head very firmly, shaping the cheeks evenly. Continue:

1. Rnd 21: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
2. Rnd 22: sc, dec around. (12)
3. Rnd 23: dec around. (6)

Fasten off and close. Shape the face with your hands so the front is smooth and round.

Arms Make 2

The arms are short and softly tapered. They angle gently downward at the sides. Do not overstuff them, because the arms in the image lie close to the body and look flexible.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 5: 2 sc, dec around. (9)
5. Rnd 6-12: sc around. (9)

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten the opening and crochet 4 sc through both layers, or sew closed later. Leave a tail for sewing.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, narrow, and flat, with rounded ends. They begin slightly wider at the top and taper very gently. The image shows the ears hanging straight down from beneath the hat, reaching to about the upper torso.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4-6: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 7: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
6. Rnd 8-12: sc around. (16)
7. Rnd 13: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
8. Rnd 14-24: sc around. (14)
9. Rnd 25: 5 sc, dec around. (12)
10. Rnd 26-34: sc around. (12)

Do not stuff. Flatten each ear neatly. For a softer inner-ear look, lightly brush or steam shape if your yarn allows. Leave a long tail for sewing. If you want more definition, embroider a faint vertical line down each inner ear using matching blush-beige thread.

Dress Bodice

The dress is cream, sleeveless, and fitted at the top. The bodice sits just under the jacket and is only partly visible at the chest. Make it directly onto the finished body for the cleanest fit.

Join cream yarn to the front of the body around the waist area, slightly above the widest hip point. Work evenly around the body where you want the bodice to begin. Aim for 24 stitches.

1. Rnd 1-3: sc around. (24)
2. Rnd 4: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
3. Rnd 5-7: sc around. (18)

Fasten off. This creates a simple upper section that peeks out under the jacket.

Dress Skirt

The skirt is wide, softly flared, and ends just above the feet when the bunny sits. The image shows curved rows and a decorative lower edge with floral accents, so the skirt should have volume but still drape close to the body.

Join cream yarn to the waist round at the lower edge of the bodice or slightly lower if preferred.

1. Rnd 1: sc, inc around. (36)
2. Rnd 2: sc around. (36)
3. Rnd 3: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
4. Rnd 4: sc around. (42)
5. Rnd 5: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (48)
7. Rnd 7: 7 sc, inc around. (54)
8. Rnd 8-11: sc around. (54)

For the lower textured bands, alternate gentle ridge rounds if you like. One easy method is to work rnd 9 in BLO and continue normally. This creates the layered look visible in the photo without making the skirt stiff.

To form the scalloped lower edge:

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

Fasten off. Steam lightly or shape by hand so the scallops sit outward and the skirt spreads evenly.

Small Flowers for Dress Hem Make 4 to 6

The dress hem has tiny soft flowers placed across the front. These flowers are small and delicate, not oversized. Make five-petal blossoms in off-white or cream with tiny blush or cream centers.

1. In MR: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) five times.
2. Pull ring closed and fasten off.

Make tiny French knot centers or sew one small knot in cream. Add 1 or 2 little sage leaves behind some flowers. Sew the flowers across the lower front of the skirt, concentrating them near the center.

Jacket

The jacket is blush pink, cropped, and open at the front. The sleeves are short, and the front edges curve softly away from the dress. This piece is one of the most important visual details, so check the fit often.

Work the jacket in rows from the neckline down, then add sleeves. Use the bunny body to test the shape while working.

1. Ch 26.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (25)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across. (25)
4. Row 3: ch 1, turn, 4 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 7 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 4 sc. (29)
5. Row 4-6: ch 1, turn, sc across. (29)

Now create the front opening shaping so the jacket curves inward at the waist and stays open over the dress.

1. Row 7: ch 1, turn, dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. (27)
2. Row 8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (27)
3. Row 9: ch 1, turn, dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. (25)
4. Row 10: ch 1, turn, sc across. (25)
5. Row 11: ch 1, turn, dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. (23)

Fasten off. Fold around the body and seam the side and underarm areas with a snug fit. The jacket should stop at the waist and leave most of the dress visible.

For sleeves, join yarn at each armhole and work 10 to 12 sc evenly around. Work 3 to 4 rounds of sc. Fasten off. You can add one very light edge round of reverse sl st or plain sc around the front opening and neckline for a crisp finish.

Hat

The hat is a simple cream cap fitted to the top of the head, sitting low on the forehead and slightly angled. It is not a wide-brim hat. The flower cluster on one side provides the decorative balance.

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

Test the hat on the head. It should cover the top crown and rest slightly low in front. If needed, add one more plain round. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing in place.

Hat Flowers and Leaves

The hat decoration is a layered cluster of pale blossoms with soft green leaves. The flowers in the image are full and rounded, almost chrysanthemum-like, but still delicate. Make 3 larger flowers and 2 smaller flowers.

Larger Flower Make 3

1. In MR, repeat 8 times: ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st.
2. Pull tight and fasten off.

Smaller Flower Make 2

1. In MR, repeat 6 times: ch 2, 2 hdc, ch 2, sl st.
2. Pull tight and fasten off.

Leaves Make 3 to 4

1. Ch 6.
2. Starting in 2nd ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.
3. Work on opposite side of chain: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.

Sew the flowers into a layered cluster. Add knot centers in cream or pale yellow. Arrange leaves underneath. Attach the cluster to one side of the hat, slightly above the ear line.

Handbag

The handbag is boxy, structured, and made in light brown. It has a flap front and a rounded handle. The bag in the image is neat and small, so tight stitches are essential. You may line it with felt if desired.

Bag Body

1. Ch 11.
2. Rnd 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and next 8 ch, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side 8 sc, 2 sc in final ch. (22)
3. Rnd 2: inc, 8 sc, 3 inc, 8 sc, 2 inc. (28)
4. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. (28)
5. Rnd 4-10: sc around. (28)

Fasten off. Lightly shape into a rectangle.

Flap

Join yarn to the back top edge of the bag and work across 10 stitches.

1. Row 1-4: ch 1, turn, sc across 10. (10)
2. Row 5: dec, 6 sc, dec. (8)
3. Row 6: sc across. (8)
4. Row 7: dec, 4 sc, dec. (6)

Fasten off. Sew a tiny spiral or flat button shape to the front center for the clasp.

Handle

1. Ch 18.
2. Row 1: sl st in 2nd ch from hook and across.

Attach both ends to the upper sides of the bag. Insert thin wire first if you want the handle to stand upright.

Teddy Bear

The teddy is a tiny seated bear in warm brown with round ears, short limbs, and a pale muzzle. It should look simple and sweet rather than highly detailed. Keep it miniature and slightly chunky.

Bear Head

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

Insert very tiny eyes between rnds 4 and 5 or embroider them. Stuff lightly and close.

Bear Body

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

Stuff lightly and close.

Bear Ears Make 2

1. 6 sc in MR, fasten off.

Bear Arms and Legs Make 4 Total

1. 6 sc in MR, fasten off, leaving tails.

Sew the head to the body, then attach ears, arms, and legs. Add a tiny cream oval muzzle and embroider the nose and mouth. Sit the teddy slightly leaning back like the one in the image.

Teacup

The cup is cream with a slightly darker drink surface. It is tiny and cylindrical with a small handle. Make it firm enough to sit upright.

1. With cream yarn, rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. (12)
4. Rnd 4-5: sc around. (12)
5. Rnd 6: sl st around.

Fasten off. For the handle, ch 5 and sl st back. Sew to the side. Add a flat top circle in tan or brown by stitching a small embroidered spiral inside the cup.

Bouquet

The bouquet on the mat echoes the hat flowers. Make 3 to 5 tiny flowers using the small flower pattern above. Add short green stems by wrapping yarn around a thin strand or by using chain stems.

Bind the stems together with cream thread and sew a small knot wrap around the center. Keep the bouquet low and compact.

Lace Mat

The mat under the bouquet is a small off-white rectangle with a simple lace edge. This accessory helps match the cozy tea-table look shown in the image.

1. Ch 14.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (13)
3. Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (13)

Edge round: work sc evenly around all four sides, placing 3 sc in each corner. Then work a lace edge of skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st along the short ends and one long edge if desired.

Facial Embroidery

Use beige or blush thread to embroider a tiny upside-down triangle nose centered two rounds below the eyes. Then add a short vertical stitch and a very small curved mouth. Keep the expression minimal. The image shows a calm face, not a smiling cartoon face.

If you want extra softness, add a tiny touch of blush embroidery or pastel just below the eyes. Keep it very subtle. Too much color will change the gentle look of the bunny.

Assembly

1. Sew the head securely to the body with the face centered over the leg gap.
2. Sew the ears to the sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line, so they fall straight down.
3. Sew the arms to the upper body just below the neck and under the jacket sleeve line.
4. Dress the bunny in the cream skirt and blush jacket.
5. Place the hat slightly angled and sew it to the head.
6. Attach the flower cluster to the hat if not already sewn.
7. Sew the tiny flowers and leaves across the lower front of the skirt.

Positioning matters. The ears should remain visible beneath the hat. The jacket should sit open and frame the bodice. The flowers on the skirt should stay close to the front center rather than wrapping fully around.

Styling the Display Set

Place the handbag on the bunny’s left side, the bouquet on the lace mat in front, the teddy on the right side, and the teacup near the teddy. This arrangement matches the balanced tabletop composition in the image.

If you are photographing the finished set, keep the bunny centered and seated, with both feet facing forward. Make sure the hat flower side faces the camera and the bouquet lies slightly angled on the mat for a natural display.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the head sits straight and does not tilt back. Adjust the ears so both hang evenly. Confirm the eyes are level, the nose is centered, and the mouth is tiny and soft. The most important feature is the calm, balanced expression.

Before knotting off final threads, smooth the dress, curve the jacket fronts neatly, and shape the hat crown with your fingers. Stitch the accessories securely if they are meant for display, or leave them separate if you prefer movable pieces.

Care Notes

• Keep the set away from rough play if the accessories are tiny and removable.
• Store flat or upright in a dust-free area.
• Avoid heavy pulling on the hat flowers, teddy ears, handbag handle, and teacup handle.
• If making for a child, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes and secure all parts firmly.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head round and evenly stuffed
• Eyes level and centered
• Ears placed symmetrically
• Dress flared but not stiff
• Jacket open and cropped
• Hat angled slightly forward
• Flower cluster attached on one side
• Bag structured and upright
• Teddy seated securely
• Cup handle small and neat
• Bouquet and mat proportionate to the bunny

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean first using a soft cloth, cool water, and a tiny amount of mild soap. Press gently rather than rubbing. Remove moisture with a dry towel and reshape the bunny, skirt, hat, and accessories while damp.

For long-term storage, keep the set in a breathable box or cotton bag away from direct sunlight and humidity. Do not hang the bunny by the ears or handle the accessories roughly. If needed, use low steam nearby, not directly touching the yarn, to refresh the shape.

With careful shaping and neat finishing, this bunny set becomes a refined display piece with the same sweet mood, warm palette, and miniature charm shown in the image.
