This elegant amigurumi bunny doll is designed as a soft heirloom piece with a bonnet-style head, long drooping ears, a pale blue dress, tiny floral trims, and matching accessories. It fits beautifully into searches for a handmade bunny doll, crochet rabbit plush, or nursery gift.
The set also includes a miniature bunny, a small satchel, a bud vase with blue blossoms, and a folded handkerchief styled to match the dress. The full display has the charm of a collectible stuffed bunny, a spring bunny decor piece, and a giftable amigurumi rabbit set.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Pattern Overview
This design recreates the full scene shown in the image: one large seated bunny, one smaller companion bunny, a pale blue satchel, a tiny textured vase, blue flower stems, and a folded handkerchief. The shaping is soft, rounded, and slightly old-fashioned, with gentle proportions and clean, even stitches.
The large bunny has a rounded head framed by a bonnet-like cap, long ears that fall beside the face, short puffed upper arms, slim lower arms, rounded legs, and blue slippers finished with white bows. The dress has a fitted bib, wide skirt, small floral accents, and a soft scalloped edge peeking below.
The smaller bunny repeats the same visual language in a simpler form so the pair looks intentionally matched. Keep your tension firm enough that stuffing does not show. The image suggests a smooth, tidy stitch texture, so a smaller hook than usual for your yarn is the best choice.

Design Notes
The bunny in the image is softly stuffed rather than rigidly packed. Fill the head firmly so the face stays round and smooth. Stuff the body a little less so the seated shape looks relaxed. The feet are plump at the front, and the arms angle downward with a natural bend.
The cap is important to the look. It is not a narrow hat. It sits deep around the head, frames the face with a rolled edge, and allows the long ears to drape to each side. Sew the cap low on the forehead so only a rounded cream face remains visible inside the opening.
The dress should flare widely over the seated body. To match the image, make the bib neatly fitted and keep the skirt fuller at the lower half. Small embroidered or crocheted flowers along the lower skirt help capture the same gentle detail without making the surface too heavy.

For the face shaping, add a little extra stuffing in the front center before the final rounds. Embroider a small inverted triangle nose in taupe thread between R15 and R16. Extend one short vertical stitch downward, then work two soft curved mouth lines to create the calm expression shown.
If you want the face to sit more deeply inside the cap opening, lightly sculpt with thread from the eye corners to the lower side of the head. Keep it subtle. The image shows a smooth face, not a sharply defined muzzle, so avoid deep pulling.
Large Bunny Ears
Make 2 in cream. These are long, soft, and flat rather than heavily stuffed. The lower ear is slightly wider, and the tip is rounded. Very light stuffing near the base is enough.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4-R6: sc around. (18)
- R7: 7 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 7 sc. (20)
- R8-R18: sc around. (20)
- Flatten the ear. R19: crochet through both layers with 9 sc across, leaving the ear flat but not fully sealed at the very top edge.
Fasten off with a long tail. Fold the lower edge of each ear very slightly before sewing so the ear drops beside the face rather than sticking straight out. Position the ears high on the head, then allow them to fall down to about shoulder level.
Bonnet-Style Cap
This cap creates the rounded hooded look around the face. Work from the crown outward, then shape the face opening with a soft rolled edge.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- R5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
- R6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
- R7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
- R8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
- R9-R14: sc around. (48)
Flatten lightly and mark the front opening. Continue only over the back and side area for rows, leaving the face open.
- Row 15: 34 sc, ch 1, turn.
- Row 16-20: 34 sc, ch 1, turn.
- Border round: work sc evenly around the face opening and lower edge.
- Final edge: work 1 round of sl st in BLO around the face opening to create the thick rolled frame seen in the image.
Sew the cap to the head after the ears are attached. The cap should sit low, with a visible ring framing the face. Add the blue flower sprig to the left side of the cap, slightly above the face opening, angled diagonally backward.
Large Bunny Body
The body is mostly hidden by the dress, but it should still be shaped correctly so the skirt falls naturally. Make it pear-shaped with a narrow upper chest and a wider lower body for the seated pose.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- R5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
- R6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
- R7-R10: sc around. (36)
- R11: 10 sc, dec, 16 sc, dec, 8 sc. (34)
- R12-R13: sc around. (34)
- R14: 3 sc, dec around. (27)
- R15-R17: sc around. (27)
- R18: 2 sc, dec around. (21)
- R19-R20: sc around. (21)
Stuff firmly at the lower half and moderately at the upper half. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing to the head. When attached, tilt the body slightly backward so the feet can sit forward and the dress can spread across the lap.
Large Bunny Arms
Make 2 in cream. The upper arm is rounded and full. The lower arm narrows gently. Add a little white cuff trim near the wrist to match the image.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3-R5: sc around. (12)
- R6: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
- R7-R14: sc around. (10)
- R15: 1 round in BLO, 10 sc. (10)
- R16-R17: sc around. (10)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Stuff the upper half firmly and the lower half lightly. Flatten the top and sew closed. For the cuff, join cream or white yarn in the front loop left from R15 and work a decorative trim of sl st, ch 2, sl st in next stitch around for a soft ruffle.
Large Legs and Slippers
Make 2 legs in cream first, then add separate slippers in blue. The legs are longer than the arms and slightly bent forward in the seated pose. The feet are rounded and broad at the front.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4-R6: sc around. (18)
- R7: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
- R8-R18: sc around. (16)
Stuff firmly through the foot and moderately through the leg. Flatten the top and sew closed. Angle the legs forward and slightly outward. The image shows the feet resting visibly in front of the dress, so do not attach them directly underneath the body.
For each slipper, join blue yarn at the front foot. Work 1 round of sc around the toe area only, covering about two-thirds of the foot. Continue with 3 to 4 short rows across the front half until the blue slipper rises high enough. Finish with a neat edge.
Make a small white bow for each slipper. For each bow, ch 9, sl st back along the chain, wrap the center with matching thread, and sew at the top center of the slipper. The bows should be delicate and not oversized.
Collar Pieces
Make 2 rounded collar petals in cream. These sit at the neckline like soft circular tabs, each decorated with a tiny blue flower center.
- Ch 7.
- Work around the chain: 1 sc in second ch from hook, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 3 sc in last ch, then continue on opposite side with 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Fasten off. Sew the two collar pieces at the front neckline with a slight gap between them. Add one tiny blue flower to each collar tab.
Large Dress Bib and Straps
Work the bib in blue as a separate piece so you can position it precisely. The bib is rectangular with slightly softened corners, and the straps run over the shoulders to the back.
- Ch 16.
- Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (15)
- Row 2-9: ch 1, turn, sc across. (15)
For the straps, join yarn at the top corners and ch 18 for each strap. Work back along each strap with sl st or sc. Sew the lower bib to the upper body and bring the straps over the shoulders to the back waist. Add one tiny blue flower where each strap meets the front bib.
Large Dress Skirt
The skirt is fuller than the bib and should spread outward over the seated body. Work from the waist downward. You can either make it directly onto the body or as a separate skirt tube. The separate method gives cleaner control for shaping.
- Ch 28 and join carefully, or make a foundation round of 28 sc.
- R1-R3: sc around. (28)
- R4: 1 sc, inc around. (42)
- R5-R7: sc around. (42)
- R8: 5 sc, inc around. (49)
- R9-R11: sc around. (49)
- R12: 6 sc, inc around. (56)
- R13-R15: sc around. (56)
- R16: 7 sc, inc around. (63)
- R17-R18: sc around. (63)
Fasten off. Sew the upper edge neatly beneath the bib so the dress looks like one piece. To echo the image, let the skirt sit smooth near the waist and fuller near the lower half. Light steaming or damp blocking will help the hem spread gracefully.
For the pale scalloped underskirt effect at the bottom, join cream yarn to the final round and work 1 sc, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, 1 sc around. Keep the scallops small. They should peek below the blue skirt, not dominate it.
Add 4 to 6 tiny blue flowers spaced across the lower front hem. In the image, the floral trim is concentrated along the front curve of the skirt. Keep the flowers petite and slightly raised.
Tiny Blue Flowers
These flowers are used on the collar, bib, skirt, cap spray, and flower stems. Make several sizes.
- Small flower: in MR, work (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) 5 times.
- Tiny flower: in MR, work (ch 1, 1 hdc, ch 1, sl st) 5 times.
Use the small flower for the cap spray and vase stems. Use the tiny flower for the collar, bib, and hem. Stitch a cream or blue knot in the center depending on the area. The flowers in the image are airy and neat, not thick layered rosettes.

Cap Flower Spray
Make 1 small arrangement in blue and green. Create three short stems in olive green, then sew two or three tiny blue flowers to the tips and sides of each stem. Add a few narrow leaves worked as ch 4, sl st back leaves.
Arrange the spray as one flat embellishment rather than a round bouquet. Sew it to the left side of the cap at a diagonal angle. The image shows the spray sitting close to the head, almost like a brooch.
Mini Bunny
The small bunny is a simplified companion piece with the same cream-and-blue palette. Keep the face very sweet and slightly more compact. The body and dress can be worked more simply because of the size, but the silhouette should still match the large bunny.
Mini Head and Body
- Head R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- R5-R9: sc around. (24)
- Place 5 mm eyes between R6 and R7, about 6 stitches apart.
- R10: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
- R11: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
- Stuff firmly.
- R12: dec around. (6)
- Body R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4-R7: sc around. (18)
- R8: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
- R9-R10: sc around. (12)
Sew head to body. Embroider a tiny brown nose and short mouth lines. The mini face in the image is a little darker and more defined than the large bunny, so a slightly richer brown works well.
Mini Ears, Arms, Legs, and Dress
- Ears, make 2: 6 sc in MR, inc to 12, work 6 rounds even, flatten and sew high on the head so they drape down.
- Arms, make 2: 6 sc in MR, increase to 8, work 6 rounds even, stuff lightly, sew at shoulder level.
- Legs, make 2: 6 sc in MR, increase to 10, work 7 rounds even, stuff lightly, sew to lower body facing forward.
- Dress: make a small bib and a simple skirt band in blue, finishing with one cream edging round.
Add a tiny cap frame by stitching a cream edge around the upper head and front face area, or make a small cap using the same method as the large bunny in fewer rounds. The visual goal is a matching bonnet silhouette, not heavy bulk.
Satchel Bag
The satchel is worked in blue with a flap and shoulder strap. It has a soft rectangular shape and sits upright next to the large bunny. Keep the stitches dense so the bag looks structured.
- Ch 11.
- Round 1: starting in second chain, work 9 sc, 3 sc in last chain, continue on opposite side with 8 sc, 2 sc in final chain. (22)
- Round 2: sc around in BLO. (22)
- Round 3-9: sc around. (22)
Fasten off. For the flap, join yarn at the back upper edge and work 10 sc across for 5 rows, then decrease at each side for 2 more rows to soften the corners. Add a narrow strap by chaining 32 to 36 and working back in sl st or sc.
Sew the strap to the bag sides. Add a tiny beige button knot or embroidered clasp at the center front. The bag in the image has a clean flap shape and a compact body, so avoid making it too tall or too floppy.
Bud Vase and Blue Stems
The vase is a simple cream shape with a rounded base and narrow neck. It should be lightly stuffed so it stands without collapsing.
- R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- R4-R5: sc around. (18)
- R6: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
- R7-R8: sc around. (12)
- R9: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
- R10-R11: sc around. (10)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Stuff and close. For the stems, wrap green yarn around thin wire or simply crochet narrow chains. Add tiny leaves and clustered blue flowers. Arrange three stems and insert or sew them into the vase opening. Spread the flowers slightly outward, as shown in the image.
Handkerchief
The folded handkerchief is pale with a fine blue edge and one tiny embroidered flower. It adds a lovely display detail and is quick to make.
- Ch 9.
- Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (8)
- Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)
Work a blue edging round of sl st all around. Add one tiny blue flower or a simple embroidered bud in one corner. Fold twice and tack lightly with thread so it keeps the display shape. This piece should look crisp and delicate.
Styled Note Card
The small written card beside the vase is a display prop rather than a crocheted piece. For the same look, cut a tiny rectangle from cream cardstock, crease it lightly, and add a few handwritten lines. Keep it understated so the crochet pieces remain the focus.
Assembly Order
- Sew the large head to the body.
- Attach ears high on the head.
- Sew the cap over the crown and around the face opening.
- Attach arms at the upper sides of the body, angled slightly downward.
- Attach legs low on the body and tilt them forward.
- Sew on the bib and straps.
- Attach the skirt beneath the bib.
- Add collar pieces and floral trims.
- Sew the cap flower spray in place.
- Make and place the mini bunny and accessories.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Check the face before securing the cap permanently. The eyes should sit evenly within the opening, and the nose should be centered. The mouth should be gentle, short, and slightly curved. A tiny bit of blush thread or soft pastel at the cheeks can be added, but keep it faint.
When placing the dress, make sure the bib stays centered and the skirt flares broadly over the lap. The lower hem flowers should sit mostly along the front. The satchel should lean naturally beside the bunny, and the mini bunny should sit close enough to read as part of the same set.
Care Notes
- Spot clean first whenever possible.
- If washing is needed, use cool water and mild soap.
- Press out moisture gently with a towel. Do not twist.
- Reshape the ears, cap, dress, and slippers while damp.
- Dry flat away from direct heat and strong sun.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Face centered and evenly placed
- Cap sewn low enough around the face
- Ears matched in length and angle
- Dress skirt flaring evenly
- Collar tabs balanced
- Slipper bows small and neat
- Mini bunny scaled to match the large bunny
- Accessories grouped softly, not crowded
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Store the set in a clean, dry space with good airflow. If you display it on an open shelf, dust it gently with a soft brush every so often. For long-term storage, wrap the pieces in acid-free tissue and keep them in a breathable box rather than a sealed plastic bag.
If the flowers or satchel lose shape, lightly mist them and reshape by hand. Avoid hanging the large bunny by the ears or dress straps. If the set is meant for display rather than play, a small hidden support under the dress can help the seated pose stay tidy over time.
