Veronica Pearl-Yoke Bunny – Crochet

This elegant crochet bunny doll is designed to look like a boutique amigurumi bunny, complete with a soft beret, floral dress, tiny purse, and matching mini bunny companion. It has the charm of a handmade bunny plush you might search for as a nursery gift, collectible doll, or heirloom crochet rabbit.

The design blends sweet clothing details with a clean, polished silhouette, making it perfect for anyone who loves artisan amigurumi, cottagecore decor, and handmade stuffed animals. If you enjoy making pieces that look ready for a gift shop, craft fair, or custom order listing, this bunny is a lovely project.

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

Pattern Notes

This design is worked in continuous rounds unless noted otherwise. Use a stitch marker and move it up at the end of every round.

The bunny in the image has a smooth, refined finish with tight stitches, soft shaping, and gentle proportions. Keep your tension firm so the stuffing does not show through.

The finished large bunny measures about 11 to 12 inches tall from the feet to the top of the head, not including the beret. The mini bunny measures about 4 to 4.75 inches tall.

The overall palette is very soft. Use warm cream for the bunny, white for the dress and cloth, lavender for the beret, and a range of lilac, violet, blue-violet, and leafy green for the flowers.

Design Breakdown

The large bunny has a rounded head, slim neck, tapered torso, and a white dress built directly onto the body. The skirt is gently flared, not overly full.

The arms are straight and lightly stuffed. The ears are long, soft, and flat, attached so they hang straight down beside the face.

The beret sits low and slightly angled, with a small crocheted flower cluster attached near one side. A pair of soft front panels falls from the shoulders like a little open cardigan or scarf-front detail.

The dress hem is decorated with lavender flower stems that rise upward from the bottom edge. These floral details are essential to the look, so take your time with placement.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert the 8 mm eyes between Rnds 15 and 16 with 11 visible stitches between them. The face in the image is calm and centered, so keep the eyes level and not too wide.

12. Rnd 22: (8 sc, dec) x 6. (54)
13. Rnd 23: (7 sc, dec) x 6. (48)
14. Rnd 24: (6 sc, dec) x 6. (42)
15. Rnd 25: (5 sc, dec) x 6. (36)
16. Rnd 26: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)

Stuff the head firmly and evenly. Shape the cheeks with your fingers while stuffing so the face remains round and smooth.

17. Rnd 27: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
18. Rnd 28: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
19. Rnd 29: sc around. (18)

Do not fasten off if you plan to crochet the neck and body continuously. If you prefer, you may fasten off and rejoin.

Muzzle Shaping and Nose

With matching cream yarn, make a very light horizontal indentation between the eyes by passing yarn through the head once or twice. Pull gently, not tightly.

Embroider a tiny nose centered between Rnds 17 and 18. Form a small upside-down triangle or short satin-stitched wedge in soft taupe or cream-brown.

From the base of the nose, stitch a short vertical line downward about 2 stitches long. Add a tiny split mouth with one small diagonal stitch on each side, matching the sweet expression in the image.

Ears Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4-8: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 9: (7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec). (16)
6. Rnd 10-18: sc around. (16)
7. Rnd 19: (6 sc, dec) x 2. (14)
8. Rnd 20-26: sc around. (14)

Flatten the ear and crochet 7 sc through both layers across the top to close. Leave a long tail for sewing.

The ears should be long enough to reach slightly below the neck area once attached. Do not stuff them. Lightly steam-block if needed so they hang flat.

Neck and Body

1. Rnd 1: From the head opening of 18 stitches, sc around. (18)
2. Rnd 2-4: sc around. (18)

This makes a neat, slim neck. If your bunny feels too wobbly, add a little extra stuffing or a cotton swab stem trimmed to size inside the neck for support.

5. Rnd 5: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (24)
7. Rnd 7: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
8. Rnd 8: sc around. (30)
9. Rnd 9: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
10. Rnd 10-14: sc around. (36)
11. Rnd 15: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)
12. Rnd 16-18: sc around. (30)

The upper body should look softly barrel-shaped, then narrow slightly before the skirt begins. Stuff firmly, but keep the waist area smooth and not overstuffed.

Dress Bodice and Skirt

Change to white at the end of the body. The dress is crocheted directly onto the bunny. Because the image shows a fitted bodice and a gentle bell skirt, increase gradually.

1. Rnd 1: In white, BLO sc around. (30)
2. Rnd 2: sc around. (30)
3. Rnd 3: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
4. Rnd 4: sc around. (36)
5. Rnd 5: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (42)
7. Rnd 7: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
8. Rnd 8: sc around. (48)
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. Rnd 10: sc around. (54)
11. Rnd 11: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
12. Rnd 12: sc around. (60)
13. Rnd 13: (9 sc, inc) x 6. (66)
14. Rnd 14-18: sc around. (66)

If you want the same clean horizontal texture visible in the image, use regular single crochet for the full skirt. Keep the hem level and lightly flared.

Fasten off. If desired, add one final round of slip stitches in white for a crisp edge, but keep it soft and flexible.

Legs Make 2

The feet are covered by little cream shoes, so start with the sole in cream. The legs are short and help the bunny stand in a balanced pose.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 5-6: sc around. (18)
6. Rnd 7: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
7. Rnd 8: sc around. (14)
8. Rnd 9: 3 sc, 4 dec, 3 sc. (10)
9. Rnd 10-18: sc around. (10)

Stuff the foot well and the leg lightly. Flatten the top and sew closed. Leave a long tail.

Sew the legs to the lower body so they sit close together. The bunny in the image stands with the toes slightly turned outward, which helps create a gentle doll-like stance.

Shoes Make 2

These are simple stitched-on shoe covers that give the neat little slipper effect seen in the image.

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

Slip the shoe over the stuffed foot and sew around the ankle. Add a few tiny shaping stitches across the instep so the shoe looks softly fitted instead of bulky.

Arms Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)
3. Rnd 3-5: sc around. (9)
4. Rnd 6: sc around in lavender if you want the tiny cuff flower placement guide, otherwise stay in cream. (9)
5. Rnd 7-18: sc around in cream. (9)

Lightly stuff only the lower half. Flatten and sew closed. Leave a long tail for attaching.

Sew the arms to the body just below the neck. Angle them slightly downward so they rest beside the skirt, matching the relaxed pose in the image.

Front Cardigan Panels Make 2

The image shows two soft cream panels draping from the shoulders down the front of the dress. These can be made as separate narrow pieces.

1. Ch 6.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 5 sc. Turn.
3. Row 2-16: ch 1, 5 sc. Turn.
4. Row 17: ch 1, dec, sc, dec. (3)
5. Row 18: ch 1, 3 sc.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Make a second panel. Round the lower corners gently by hand when sewing so they hang softly.

Sew one panel to each shoulder-front, close to the neck, so the two pieces frame the bodice. Do not stitch them flat all the way down. Let the lower ends move naturally.

Beret

The beret is slightly oversized and sits low over the forehead. It should look soft, not stiff.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. Rnd 10-13: sc around. (54)
11. Rnd 14: (7 sc, dec) x 6. (48)
12. Rnd 15: sc around. (48)
13. Rnd 16: (6 sc, dec) x 6. (42)
14. Rnd 17: sc around. (42)

Try it on the bunny head. It should sit slightly slouched. If needed, add or remove one round before the decrease section to adjust the depth.

Fasten off. Sew the beret in place with a slight tilt so one side sits lower, just like the image.

Beret Flower Cluster

Make 5 to 7 tiny flowers in mixed lavender and blue-violet shades. Use one darker center flower and several lighter blossoms around it.

For each tiny flower:

1. With flower color, make MR.
2. Into ring work: (ch 2, 2 dc, sl st) x 5.
3. Pull ring closed and fasten off.

Make a few tiny leaves by chaining 4, then working sl st, sc, hdc in the chain. Stitch the flowers into a cluster and sew near the beret side.

Skirt Flower Embroidery

The floral border is the feature that defines the dress. Arrange 7 to 9 stems around the lower front and sides of the skirt, leaving the back mostly simple.

Use green yarn to embroider thin stems starting at the hem and rising upward about 5 to 8 stitches. Add two or three narrow leaves on each stem with straight stitches or tiny chained leaves.

For the flower heads, stitch small French-knot-like wraps or sew on tiny crocheted bobble buds. Group the blossoms vertically so each stem resembles lavender.

Mix light lavender, medium lavender, violet, and periwinkle shades. Concentrate the flowers from the center front to the side fronts, matching the arrangement in the image.

Keep the blossoms slim and upright. The flowers should not spread wide like roses. They need to read as tall meadow spikes.

Small Floral Cuffs

Add one tiny flower cluster near each wrist. Use two or three tiny buds in lavender and green so the arms echo the dress and beret.

Mini Bunny

The small bunny mirrors the main bunny with the same color story, simple white dress, and lavender beret. Keep the features minimal and very neat.

Head and Body Worked as One

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5-10: sc around. (24)

Insert 5 mm eyes between Rnds 7 and 8 with 6 stitches between them. Embroider the tiny nose and mouth exactly like the large bunny, but smaller.

7. Rnd 11: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
8. Rnd 12: sc around. (18)
9. Rnd 13: (sc, inc) x 9. (27)
10. Rnd 14-17: sc around. (27)

Change to white for the dress.

11. Rnd 18: BLO sc around. (27)
12. Rnd 19: (2 sc, inc) x 9. (36)
13. Rnd 20-22: sc around. (36)

Stuff firmly and finish with:

14. Rnd 23: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)
15. Rnd 24: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
16. Rnd 25: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
17. Rnd 26: dec around to close. (9)

Fasten off and close. Because the mini bunny stands beside the large one, shape the body so it looks slightly pear-shaped with a little dress flare.

Mini Ears Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)
3. Rnd 3-8: sc around. (9)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Flatten and sew closed. Attach lower on the head so they peek from under the beret.

Mini Arms Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. Rnd 2-7: sc around. (5)

Stuff lightly, flatten, and sew to the sides.

Mini Legs Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)
3. Rnd 3-6: sc around. (9)

Stuff lightly and sew under the body.

Mini Beret

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

Sew onto the mini bunny at a slight angle. If desired, add one tiny flower bud on the side.

Accessories

Mini Purse

The purse is a small cream clutch with a rounded rectangular shape. A metal clasp frame gives the closest result, but a crocheted top edge also works.

1. Ch 8.
2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 6 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 5 sc on opposite side, inc in last st. (16)
3. Rnd 2: inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc. (22)
4. Rnd 3-8: sc around. (22)

Flatten lightly. Sew the upper edge into a small clasp frame, or close the top with a neat line of slip stitches. Add interfacing inside if you want a firmer bag.

Flower Bouquet

Make 9 to 12 tiny puff flowers in mixed lavender and purple shades. Sew them tightly into a domed cluster.

Wrap the stems area with green yarn to form a small bouquet handle. The bouquet in the image is compact and rounded, not loose.

Folded Cloth

1. Ch 13.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 12 sc. Turn.
3. Row 2-10: ch 1, 12 sc. Turn.

Fasten off. Fold once or twice into a small rectangle and tack one corner lightly so it keeps the folded presentation shown in the image.

Lipstick

This tiny detail is small but memorable. Work tightly.

• Base in black: 4 sc in MR for 2 rounds
• Middle in white: 4 sc around for 1 round
• Top in red: 4 sc around for 2 rounds, then shape the tip with one tiny diagonal stitch

Stuff with a tiny thread scrap or leave unstuffed and sew the sections together firmly.

Assembly

Main Placement Guide

• Sew the ears first, one on each side of the head, slightly behind the eye line.
• Sew the head securely to the neck if made separately.
• Attach the arms just under the neck, angled down.
• Sew the legs centered and level so the bunny stands balanced.
• Add the front cardigan panels last so they sit naturally over the bodice.
• Sew the beret with a slight tilt and add the flower cluster.

Before securing anything permanently, pin all parts in place and check the silhouette from the front and side. The image has a tidy, symmetrical body with a softly off-center hat.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Once all parts are attached, smooth the stuffing by gently rolling the head and body in your hands. This helps remove lumps and gives the doll a refined boutique finish.

Check that both ears hang to the same length. If one ear sits higher, add one small anchoring stitch behind it to correct the drape.

The face should stay minimal. Avoid heavy blush, thick brows, or oversized nose stitching. The charm of this bunny comes from the tiny centered mouth and glossy black eyes.

If desired, add a faint cheek tint with a very small amount of pastel powder, but keep it subtle. The original look is clean and soft rather than dramatic.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight.
• Keep the floral embroidery from snagging by storing the doll upright.
• Do not pull the beret flower cluster or bouquet blossoms.
• For a gift item, wrap accessories separately so the tiny pieces stay neat.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Eyes level and centered
• Nose and mouth small and tidy
• Ears matched in length and placement
• Dress hem even all around
• Lavender stems spaced neatly across the skirt front
• Front cardigan panels hanging evenly
• Beret tilted slightly with flower cluster attached
• Mini bunny scaled to match the main doll
• Purse, bouquet, cloth, and lipstick completed

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Dab gently instead of rubbing, especially over the skirt flowers and tiny facial embroidery.

If the doll becomes dusty, use a soft dry brush or cool air from a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Keep the nozzle at a distance so the fibers and small details are not disturbed.

For long-term storage, wrap the bunny in acid-free tissue and place it in a breathable box. Avoid plastic bags for long periods, especially in humid conditions.

Store the mini accessories in a separate small pouch or box compartment. This keeps the purse clasp, bouquet, cloth, and lipstick from pressing into the dress or catching on embroidery.

With careful finishing and patient placement of every detail, this design creates the same graceful look as the image: a polished cream bunny in a white lavender-stem dress, with a soft beret, matching companion, and charming little accessories.
