Platycodon Sugar-Window Bunny – Crochet

Platycodon Sugar-Window Bunny – Crochet

This elegant bunny set combines a soft heirloom doll, a checked coat-dress, a flowered hat, a tiny shoulder bag, a miniature companion, and delicate table accessories. Readers who love an amigurumi bunny doll, handmade stuffed rabbit, or charming spring nursery decor will enjoy this polished design.

The finished display has the look of a collectible boutique piece, similar to the kind of crochet bunny pattern PDF, artist teddy rabbit, and handmade Easter bunny gift that shoppers search for when choosing a keepsake doll with coordinated accessories and refined pastel details.

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 pattern creates the full image set:

  • A standing bunny with long floppy ears
  • A cream-and-blue checked coat-dress with collar, pockets, trim, and floral hem
  • A brimmed hat with blue band and three flowers
  • A small shoulder bag with flap and button details
  • A tiny bunny companion wearing a blue dress and hat
  • A flower vase with blue blossoms
  • A small postcard piece
  • A folded lace-style cloth

The style in the image is neat and refined, so use a tight gauge and smooth tension. Invisible decreases, careful stuffing, and patient finishing matter more here than speed.

Materials

  • Main color A: light cream cotton or cotton-blend DK or fine worsted yarn
  • Contrast color B: dusty pastel blue cotton or cotton-blend in the same weight
  • Small accent: a tiny amount of white for flower centers and postcard detail
  • Very small accent: a touch of green for flower stems
  • Hook for main doll: 2.25 mm
  • Hook for mini doll and tiny accessories: 1.75 mm or 2.0 mm
  • Safety eyes: 8 mm for main bunny, 4 mm for mini bunny
  • Stuffing: fine polyester fiberfill
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Sewing pins or clips
  • Thin cardboard or plastic canvas scrap: optional for the bag base and postcard
  • Fine wire: optional for vase stems only if you like a posed bouquet
  • Small wooden-look buttons or crochet bobbles: for bag and shoe details if desired

Finished Size

  • Main bunny: about 10.5 to 11.5 inches tall from feet to top of hat
  • Main bunny without hat: about 9 to 9.5 inches
  • Mini bunny: about 4 to 4.5 inches tall
  • Vase: about 2.75 to 3 inches tall
  • Postcard: about 2 inches wide
  • Folded lace cloth: about 2.25 inches across when laid flat

Abbreviations

  • mr = magic ring
  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • inc = 2 sc in same stitch
  • dec = invisible decrease
  • FLO = front loop only
  • BLO = back loop only
  • st = stitch
  • rnd = round
  • rep = repeat

Gauge and Construction Notes

Work in continuous rounds unless a row is clearly stated. Use a stitch marker and move it every round. Keep stitches compact so the stuffing does not show through.

The body is simple and softly shaped because the coat-dress carries most of the visual detail. The face is minimal, with close-set black eyes and a tiny stitched nose-mouth line.

The overall proportions from the image are important:

  • The head is large and rounded, slightly wider than the neck
  • The body is short and gently barrel-shaped
  • The ears are long, flat, and attached low so they fall straight down
  • The legs are short and sturdy
  • The arms are short and relaxed
  • The coat-dress falls just above the feet
  • The hat brim is broad but not floppy

Main Bunny

Head

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x6. (30)
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x6. (36)
  7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc x6. (42)
  8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc x6. (48)
  9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc x6. (54)
  10. Rnd 10: 8 sc, inc x6. (60)
  11. Rnd 11-20: Sc around. (60)

Insert the 8 mm eyes between rnds 13 and 14 with about 11 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the image sit low enough to leave room for the hat brim above and the muzzle embroidery below.

Begin stuffing firmly, especially across the forehead and side cheeks. Keep the lower front of the face slightly flatter than the top so the nose area looks calm and gentle instead of overly round.

  1. Rnd 21: 8 sc, dec x6. (54)
  2. Rnd 22: 7 sc, dec x6. (48)
  3. Rnd 23: 6 sc, dec x6. (42)
  4. Rnd 24: 5 sc, dec x6. (36)
  5. Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec x6. (30)
  6. Rnd 26: 3 sc, dec x6. (24)

Finish stuffing the head so it stays round after sewing. Leave a long tail for joining to the body.

Body

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x6. (30)
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x6. (36)
  7. Rnd 7-11: Sc around. (36)
  8. Rnd 12: 4 sc, dec x6. (30)
  9. Rnd 13-16: Sc around. (30)
  10. Rnd 17: 3 sc, dec x6. (24)
  11. Rnd 18-20: Sc around. (24)

Stuff the body firmly at the lower half and only moderately near the neck. The bunny in the image stands well, so the lower body should feel compact and balanced.

Fasten off with a long tail. The neck opening is intentionally smaller than the widest part of the head. This keeps the head seated high and upright.

Legs Make 2

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. (18)
  5. Rnd 5-6: Sc around. (18)
  6. Rnd 7: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
  7. Rnd 8-12: Sc around. (16)
  8. Rnd 13: 6 sc, dec x2, 6 sc. (14)
  9. Rnd 14-16: Sc around. (14)

Stuff the foot and lower leg firmly, but do not overstuff the very top. Flatten the foot slightly at the sole so the bunny stands better.

Leave a long tail for sewing. Pin the legs to the lower body so they angle very slightly outward, matching the relaxed stance in the image.

Arms Make 2

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3-5: Sc around. (12)
  4. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec x2, 4 sc. (10)
  5. Rnd 7-12: Sc around. (10)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Lightly stuff only the lower half of each arm. Flatten the upper edge and close with 5 sc through both sides, or sew closed after fastening off. Leave a tail for sewing.

The arms sit low and slightly forward so they disappear partly beneath the sleeves. That placement also helps the bag strap sit naturally across one shoulder.

Ears Make 2

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5-8: Sc around. (24)
  6. Rnd 9: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)
  7. Rnd 10-22: Sc around. (18)
  8. Rnd 23: 1 sc, dec x6. (12)
  9. Rnd 24-28: Sc around. (12)

Do not stuff the ears. Flatten them gently and sew the opening closed. Shape them into soft paddles, not pointed tubes. The ears in the image hang from just under the hat brim and end near shoulder level.

Tail

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: Sc around. (12)
  4. Rnd 4: Dec around. (6)

Stuff lightly and fasten off. This tail stays mostly hidden under the coat, but it gives a nice rounded back shape.

Facial Embroidery

Using brown or taupe embroidery thread, stitch a tiny inverted Y shape centered between the eyes. Place the top of the nose between rnds 15 and 16.

Make a short horizontal nose line first. From its center, stitch one vertical line down two rounds. Split the lower end into two short diagonal mouth lines. Keep the expression understated and sweet.

Joining the Main Bunny

  1. Sew the head to the body with the face centered.
  2. Sew the ears to the head on each side between rnds 9 and 12 of the head, positioned low so the hat can sit above them.
  3. Sew the legs to the lower body front, evenly spaced.
  4. Sew the arms to the upper body sides.
  5. Sew the tail to the lower back.

Before tightening each seam completely, look from the front and side. The main bunny in the image is extremely symmetrical, so a few extra minutes of pinning will improve the final result.

Checked Coat-Dress

This garment is the centerpiece. It looks like a coat with a dress-like hem, rounded collar, long sleeves, front edging, patch pockets, blue grid lines, and flower appliqués along the bottom.

The simplest way to match the image is to crochet a cream base, then embroider or surface-slip the blue grid over it. This gives crisp straight lines without distortion.

Torso Panel

Work from the hem upward in joined rows so you can shape the opening and collar cleanly.

  1. Ch 41 with color A.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (40)
  3. Rows 2-18: Ch 1, turn, sc across. (40)

Check the panel around the bunny body. It should wrap with a small front opening, not overlap heavily. Add or remove two stitches if your gauge differs.

Armhole and Shoulder Shaping

  1. Row 19: Ch 1, sc 8, turn. Leave remaining stitches unworked for first front.
  2. Rows 20-22: Ch 1, sc across 8.
  3. Row 23: Ch 1, dec, sc 4, dec. (6)
  4. Row 24: Ch 1, sc across.

Fasten off. Rejoin yarn at opposite side for second front and mirror the same steps.

  1. Back: Rejoin yarn to center 24 unworked stitches.
  2. Rows 19-23: Ch 1, sc across 24.
  3. Row 24: Ch 1, dec, sc 20, dec. (22)
  4. Row 25: Ch 1, sc across 22.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Sew shoulders with a neat seam, leaving armholes open. The garment should fit close without stretching.

Sleeves Make 2

  1. With color A, ch 17.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (16)
  3. Rows 2-14: Ch 1, turn, sc across. (16)

Fold each sleeve lengthwise and seam into a tube. Sew to armholes. The sleeves in the image are straight, not puffed, and end just before the wrist.

Collar Make 2

  1. With color B, ch 8.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc 4, sc, sl st in last ch.
  3. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Make two identical rounded collar pieces. Sew one on each side of the neckline so they sit flat and angle outward slightly.

Front Edging

With color B, work a round of sc evenly down the first front edge, around the hem, and up the second front edge. Add one more row of sc around the neckline if needed.

This edging frames the coat and creates the blue vertical line seen along both front openings in the image.

Blue Grid Lines

Using color B, add surface slip stitches or backstitch lines over the coat-dress. Make vertical lines first, then horizontal lines.

  • Two vertical front edging lines are already in place
  • Add three more vertical lines evenly across the body
  • Add matching vertical lines on each sleeve
  • Add horizontal lines every 3 rows across the garment
  • Keep all lines straight and lightly tensioned

The result should resemble soft windowpanes. Do not pull too tightly or the coat will buckle.

Pockets Make 2

  1. With color A, ch 9.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (8)
  3. Rows 2-6: Ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)
  4. Final row: With color B, sc evenly around pocket edge.

Sew the pockets to the lower front, one on each side. Place them high enough that the flower appliqués can overlap the pocket corners like the image.

Hem Flowers Make 5

  1. With color B, 5 sc in mr.
  2. Petal round: In each stitch work sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.

Fasten off and flatten each flower. Sew them along the hem so they lightly overlap, centered across the lower front and sides. Add a tiny white center stitch to a few blossoms.

Pocket Flowers Make 2

Make two smaller flowers in the same style, but use only 4 petals. Sew one near each pocket. The image shows these like sweet decorative medallions.

Dress Assembly

  1. Put the coat-dress on the bunny from the feet upward or leave the back partly open until dressing.
  2. Sew the side seams if not already joined.
  3. Adjust the collar so it frames the face evenly.
  4. Tack the front edges discreetly near the neck if they shift.

The hem should end just above the shoes and still show the legs clearly. If your dress is too long, remove one or two rows before finishing the hem.

Shoes Make 2

The image shows simple cream shoes with a rounded strap feel. These can be crocheted directly as slip-on covers for the feet.

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, ch 7. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 4, inc in last. (14)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
  3. Rnd 3: BLO sc around. (20)
  4. Rnd 4-5: Sc around. (20)
  5. Rnd 6: 6 sc, dec x4, 6 sc. (16)
  6. Rnd 7: Sc around. (16)

Fasten off and fit onto each foot. Sew lightly in place. Add a tiny side nub or stitched knot to suggest the little shoe tab visible in the photo.

Hat

The hat is cream with a narrow blue band and three blue flowers clustered on one side. The crown is shallow and the brim is moderately wide with a smooth, clean edge.

Crown Top

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x6. (30)
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x6. (36)
  7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc x6. (42)
  8. Rnd 8-14: Sc around. (42)

Brim

  1. Rnd 15: BLO sc around. (42)
  2. Rnd 16: 6 sc, inc x6. (48)
  3. Rnd 17: 7 sc, inc x6. (54)
  4. Rnd 18: 8 sc, inc x6. (60)
  5. Rnd 19-20: Sc around. (60)
  6. Final edge: Sl st loosely around or work one neat sc round if you want a firmer brim.

Try the hat on the bunny. It should rest low enough to overlap the ear attachments, but still leave the eyes visible.

Hat Band

With color B, surface slip stitch around the crown where it meets the brim. Keep the line narrow and clean.

Hat Flowers

Make three flowers using the same 5-petal method as the hem blossoms, but vary the size slightly by using one with fewer stitches or tighter petals.

Sew the flowers in a small cluster on the viewer-right side of the hat. Add tiny white center knots. Let one flower angle upward for the layered look in the image.

Shoulder Bag

The bag is rectangular, cream with blue edging, a flap, a visible strap, and two small button details. It hangs at the bunny’s side, so keep it compact.

Bag Body

  1. With color A, ch 13.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (12)
  3. Rows 2-10: Ch 1, turn, sc across. (12)

Fold the piece so the lower section forms front and back, leaving a top flap. Seam the sides.

Flap

If your original rectangle already includes the flap length, shape the flap by crocheting only across one side edge after folding.

  1. Row 1: Rejoin yarn to back top edge, sc across 12.
  2. Row 2: Ch 1, dec, sc 8, dec. (10)
  3. Row 3: Ch 1, sc across.
  4. Row 4: Ch 1, dec, sc 6, dec. (8)
  5. Row 5: Ch 1, sc across.

Edge the flap and bag with color B. Add two narrow vertical blue lines on the lower bag front to echo the coat design.

Strap

  1. With color A, ch enough to reach from one side of the bag, over the shoulder, to the other side. Usually 32 to 36 chains works.
  2. Row 1: Sl st or sc back across for strength.

Sew the strap securely. Add two tiny bobbles, knots, or stitched circles as button details on the flap side. Insert a cardboard base if you want the bag to keep its boxy shape.

Mini Bunny

The miniature companion mirrors the large bunny with simplified shaping. Keep the face tiny and the dress short. The head should still be slightly oversized compared to the body.

Mini Head

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5-9: Sc around. (24)
  6. Insert 4 mm eyes between rnds 6 and 7 with 5 or 6 stitches between.
  7. Rnd 10: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)
  8. Rnd 11: 1 sc, dec x6. (12)

Mini Dress

  1. With color B, ch 22 and join carefully.
  2. Rnd 1-4: Sc around. (22)
  3. Rnd 5: In color A, work a simple checked band by alternating 2 sc A and 2 sc B around.
  4. Rnd 6-7: Return to color B and sc around.

Make two tiny straps or cap sleeves if desired, but the image reads more like a simple yoke dress with a decorative front band. Keep it short and sweet.

Mini Hat

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)

  6. Rnd 7: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  7. Rnd 8: Sc around. (24)

Add a tiny blue band and fit to the mini bunny head. Sew in place if desired.

Flower Vase

The vase is simple, narrow at the neck, and softly rounded at the lower half. The bouquet contains several blue flowers in two shades and a few tiny white touches.

Vase

  1. Rnd 1: With color A, 6 sc in mr. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4-6: Sc around. (18)
  5. Rnd 7: 1 sc, dec x6. (12)
  6. Rnd 8-12: Sc around. (12)
  7. Rnd 13: 2 sc, inc x4. (16)
  8. Rnd 14: Sc around. (16)

Stuff the base firmly. Add a little weighted filling if you want it to stand with stems inside.

Stems and Blossoms

For each stem, ch 10 to 14 in green and sl st back. Make 5 to 7 stems in varied lengths.

For blossoms, make tiny 4-petal and 5-petal flowers in pale blue and deeper dusty blue. Add a few white French-knot style centers or crochet knots. Attach flowers to stems and arrange inside the vase.

Postcard

This small accessory helps complete the table scene. It looks like a tiny embroidered or appliquéd card with a floral motif and postage corner.

  1. With color A, ch 11.
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (10)
  3. Rows 2-6: Ch 1, turn, sc across. (10)

Edge lightly if needed. Embroider a simple flower stem with blue petals, a vertical address line, and a small pink or red postage square in one corner. Insert a stiff backing if you want it perfectly flat.

Folded Lace Cloth

This piece appears like a folded cream doily or handkerchief with eyelet-style edging. A triangular shell pattern works well here.

  1. With color A, ch 2.
  2. Row 1: 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook. (2)
  3. Row 2: Ch 1, turn, inc in each st. (4)
  4. Row 3: Ch 1, turn, 1 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc. (6)
  5. Continue increasing one stitch near each side every row until the triangle measures about 2.5 inches wide.

Then edge with a delicate repeat of sl st, ch 3, sl st into edge spaces to create a lacy border. Fold once or twice before styling on the table.

Styling the Full Display

Put the coat-dress on the bunny first, then add shoes if you made them removable. Place the bag at the side and settle the strap diagonally over one shoulder.

Fit the hat slightly tilted. Arrange the flowers on the hat so they face outward. Place the mini bunny close to the larger doll. Set the vase, postcard, and folded cloth in front for the complete scene.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the symmetry of the eyes, ears, and collar before securing every last stitch. Keep the embroidered nose tiny and centered. If the face looks too serious, shorten the mouth lines. If it looks too sharp, soften with one small horizontal stitch over the nose.

Steam-block only the garments and flat accessories if needed. Do not steam the stuffed pieces directly at close range. A light finger-shaping of the brim, flowers, and collar is usually enough.

Care Notes

  • Store away from direct sunlight to protect the pale blue tone
  • Keep hats and flowers from being crushed under heavier items
  • Dust gently with a clean dry makeup brush or soft cloth
  • Display flat-footed on a shelf or table for best balance

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Both ears hang at the same height
  • The coat-dress front edges are straight
  • The collar sits evenly on both sides
  • The hat band is centered and smooth
  • The bag strap is secure
  • The mini bunny proportions echo the large bunny
  • The vase stands steadily
  • Loose ends are woven in neatly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Avoid soaking stuffed pieces, especially if the face is embroidered and the accessories contain shaping inserts.

If deeper cleaning is necessary, remove any insertable stiffeners first. Pat with a towel, reshape by hand, and air dry fully on a flat surface. Do not twist, wring, machine wash, or tumble dry.

For long-term preservation, wrap the set loosely in acid-free tissue and store in a breathable box. Keeping the hat brim, flowers, and collar supported will help the display retain its polished boutique look.
