This sweet amigurumi set pairs a long-eared bunny with a tiny duck companion, both dressed in soft fringe-trimmed outfits with a dreamy vintage feel. If you love handmade nursery decor, collectible stuffed animals, heirloom plush gifts, and artisan crochet dolls, this design brings all of that charm into one coordinated make.
The gentle beige, dusty rose, cream, and muted blue palette gives this set a boutique look that fits beautifully into searches for amigurumi bunny doll, crochet animal plush, handmade baby shower gift, and cottagecore toy decor. The finished pair also works wonderfully as a shelf display, keepsake toy, or handmade gift set.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Design Overview
This pattern recreates the full scene as shown: a standing bunny with long drooping ears, a soft beret-style hat with tassel, a cream poncho with blue motifs and fringe, a dusty rose skirt with lace-look trim and long fringe hem, tiny shoes with flower details, a star wand, a star-shaped bag, and a small bouquet.
You will also make the tiny duck companion in matching colors. The duck wears a miniature beret, a cream poncho with blue motifs and fringe, and a dusty rose fringe skirt. The duck also holds a small star wand to echo the main figure and complete the set.
The shaping is rounded and gentle rather than sharply sculpted. The bunny’s head is large in proportion to the body, the ears are long and soft, the body is narrow and slightly tapered, and the clothing is built to sit smoothly without looking bulky.

General Construction Notes
Work the amigurumi parts in continuous rounds unless a section specifically tells you to join. Use a stitch marker at the first stitch of each round. Keep tension firm so the stuffing does not show through.
The clothing in this design is important to the final look. Take your time with the poncho motifs, skirt trim, and all fringe sections. Those details create the exact soft and sleepy styling that defines the piece.
Stuff the head firmly, the body moderately, and the limbs lightly to moderately. The ears should stay mostly flat and drape naturally, so do not overstuff them. The beret should be lightly stuffed only at the center pad if you want a fuller cap shape.

- Round 19: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
Insert the bunny eyes between Rounds 10 and 11 with about 8 visible stitches between them. The face is minimal, so place the eyes slightly low and centered for a calm expression.
Embroider a tiny inverted Y nose in muted brown or beige-brown thread. Place it centered between Rounds 11 and 13. Make the nose very small. The stitched mouth should be short and soft, not strongly outlined.

- Round 22: sc, dec x 6. (12)
- Round 23: dec around. (6)
- Fasten off and close.
Bunny Ears Make 2
The ears are long, narrow, and softly tapered with rounded tips. They hang straight down from the sides of the hat and head. Keep them flat and only very lightly stuffed at the base if desired.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)

- Flatten top opening and crochet 7 sc through both sides to close.
Do not stuff the long length. If you want a slightly fuller ear base, add a tiny puff of stuffing in the top 1 inch only. The finished ears should fall naturally and remain narrow rather than plush and thick.
Bunny Body
The body is hidden partly under the poncho and skirt, so it can be simple and cleanly shaped. Keep it slim, with a soft belly and gentle taper toward the neck.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc x 6. (18)
- Round 4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)

Bunny Legs Make 2
The legs are short and straight because the skirt covers the top part. The feet are slightly broader than the ankles but still delicate. Leave room to add the separate shoes over the feet.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc x 6. (18)
- Round 4: sc around in BLO. (18)
- Rounds 5-6: sc around. (18)
- Round 7: 4 sc, dec x 3, 5 sc. (15)
- Round 8: 3 sc, dec x 3, 3 sc. (12)
- Rounds 9-15: sc around. (12)
- Lightly stuff foot and leg.
- Flatten top and crochet 6 sc through both sides.
Sew the legs to the lower body so the bunny can stand balanced. Position them very close together. The shoes will help visually widen the base.
Joining the Bunny Base
Sew the head to the body with the face centered. Add extra stuffing to the neck area if needed before fully closing. Sew the arms to the sides at about neck-body level so the poncho can sit over them neatly.
Sew the ears to the upper sides of the head, starting slightly behind the eye line. The ears should hang down straight and remain visible under the hat. Keep them symmetrical and not too far forward.
Beret-Style Hat
This hat is one of the most recognizable details in the image. It is a soft, round beret with a rolled lower band and a side tassel. The cap sits low over the forehead and slightly angled, while still allowing the long ears to fall beneath it.
- With beige yarn, ch 24 and join carefully without twisting.
- Round 1: sc around. (24)
- Rounds 2-4: sc around. (24)
This forms the snug head band. Check fit on the bunny head. It should sit low and secure, not loose.
- Round 5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
- Round 6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
- Round 7: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
- Rounds 8-12: sc around. (42)
- Round 13: 5 sc, dec x 6. (36)
- Round 14: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
Fasten off. Fold the lower band upward slightly to create the soft rolled brim effect seen in the image. Tack the fold with a few hidden stitches in two places only, so the hat still looks soft and natural.
To make the tassel, cut 18 to 24 strands of beige yarn about 3 inches long. Fold them over a small loop, bind tightly at the top, trim evenly, and sew to one side of the beret. The tassel should sit near the right side and drape outward.
Poncho Base
The poncho is square-like with a soft drape, a blue neckline border, central blue motif, corner motifs, and a full cream fringe. It should cover the shoulders and upper body, ending above the skirt waist.
You may work this piece top-down from a neck opening. Keep it flat and lightly structured. Steam blocking is optional, but shaping by hand after dampening can help the motifs look crisp.
- With dusty blue yarn, ch 28 and join.
- Round 1: sc around. (28)
- Round 2: switch to cream, sc around.
Place markers to divide the neck opening into four sections: front, right shoulder, back, left shoulder. A simple distribution of 7 stitches per section works well.
- Round 3: *6 sc, 3 sc in next st* x 4. (36)
- Round 4: sc to corner, 3 sc in each center corner stitch around. (44)
- Round 5: repeat corner increase method. (52)
- Round 6: repeat corner increase method. (60)
- Round 7: repeat corner increase method. (68)
At this stage, try the poncho on the bunny. It should rest over the shoulders and upper arms without pulling.
- Round 8: work one plain round in cream without increasing, placing 3 sc only in the same corner stitch as needed to keep the square shape smooth.

Poncho Blue Motifs
The image shows a larger central decorative blue motif on the front and smaller motifs near the upper corners. Recreate this look using surface slip stitch or overlay embroidery with the crochet yarn itself, not sewing thread.
- Center motif: make a mirrored curling shape using surface sl st in dusty blue, covering the middle front panel. It should resemble two soft curved swirls facing inward with a small center gap.
- Upper corner motifs: add one small four-point star or flower-like motif near each upper front corner.
- Lower edging stripe: add one dusty blue surface line one round above the fringe base.
If you prefer to crochet the motifs separately, make tiny appliqué swirls and stars in dusty blue, then sew them flat with invisible stitches. Keep them low-profile so the poncho still drapes smoothly.
Poncho Fringe
Cut many cream strands about 2.25 inches long. Fold each strand in half and attach evenly across the lower edge using a lark’s head knot or pull-through fringe method. Trim so the fringe is even, straight, and softly full.
The fringe should be dense enough to create movement, but not so dense that the poncho becomes stiff. After attaching, brush gently with fingers and trim the bottom line so it hangs cleanly all around.
Skirt
The skirt is dusty rose, straight and slightly flared, with a cream lace-look band near the hem and a long lower fringe. It begins under the poncho and falls to ankle level. The shape is simple, letting the trims carry the visual detail.
- With dusty rose yarn, ch 30 and join.
- Round 1: sc around. (30)
- Round 2: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
- Rounds 3-9: sc around. (36)
- Round 10: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
- Rounds 11-13: sc around. (42)
Fasten off if you plan to add the cream trim separately. The skirt should fit high on the body, just under the poncho. Sew it in place after dressing the bunny, or leave it removable if you prefer.
Cream Lace-Look Trim
Join cream yarn around the skirt about 2 rounds above the hemline fringe placement. This trim should look delicate and pointed, almost like tiny crochet lace triangles.
- Round 1: *sl st in next st, ch 3, skip 1 st, sl st in next st* around.
- Round 2: into each ch-3 space work sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc.
This creates small pointed arches. If you want a sharper look, replace the center dc with tr. Keep the trim neat and evenly tensioned so it lies flat against the skirt.
Skirt Fringe
Attach dusty rose fringe to the very bottom edge of the skirt. Cut strands about 3 inches long for the bunny. Fold and knot one strand per stitch or every other stitch depending on density.
Trim the fringe so it falls just below the lace-look trim and reaches near the bunny’s ankles. In the image, the fringe is generous and soft, so avoid making it too sparse.
Shoes Make 2
The bunny wears rounded dusty rose shoes with a strap across the foot and a tiny cream flower near the toe. These sit over the crocheted feet and give the doll a polished finish.
- With dusty rose yarn, ch 6.
- Round 1: starting in second ch from hook, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side, 3 sc, inc in last. (12)
- Round 2: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc. (18)
- Round 3: sc around in BLO. (18)
- Round 4: 5 sc, dec x 4, 5 sc. (14)
- Round 5: sc around. (14)
Fasten off and sew or slip the shoes over the feet. Add a small strap by chaining 6 to 8 and sewing it across the upper foot.
For each flower, make a tiny cream center ring with five petals: in MR, repeat ch 2, sl st into ring five times. Pull tight and sew one flower near the outer front side of each shoe.
Star Bag
The bunny carries a soft cream star-shaped bag hanging low at the front. The bag is slightly puffy and hangs from a thin beige strap crossing the chest.
Bag Front and Back Make 2
Work one small five-point star for the front and one for the back.
- With cream yarn, 5 sc in MR.
- Join and begin star points: for each point, ch 4, sl st in second ch, sc in next, hdc in next, skip next base st, sl st in next base st.
- Repeat until five points are formed.
Place the stars wrong sides together and sc around the outer edges, adding a tiny pinch of stuffing if desired. Leave the top slightly flatter than the points so the bag rests naturally against the skirt.
📌Thank you for reading the article
For the strap, chain enough beige stitches to cross from one shoulder to the opposite lower side, approximately 24 to 28 chains depending on your doll. Sew securely to the back of the bag and then tack the strap across the bunny body.
Star Wand for Bunny
The bunny’s wand has a beige handle and a cream star topper. It should be slim and proportional, long enough to reach from the hand to above shoulder height.
- For the handle, either crochet a narrow tube of 4 sc around for 10 to 12 rounds, or wrap beige yarn around a floral stem wire or wooden stick.
- For the star, make two small cream stars using the same method as the bag front, but smaller if desired.
- Sew the two stars together around the top of the handle.
Place the wand into the bunny hand and tack it with a few stitches so it angles slightly outward.
Mini Bouquet
The bouquet is a small bunch of pale cream blossoms tied with a beige wrap. This detail can be simplified while keeping the same visual effect.
- Make 5 to 7 thin stems from beige yarn, floral wire, or wrapped cotton strands.
- Add tiny cream knots or French-knot style crochet buds at the tips.
- Group them into a small spray and wrap the stems with beige yarn.
- Sew or tie the bouquet into the bunny’s other hand.
Duck Companion Body
The duck is small, upright, and slightly pear-shaped with a rounded head and tiny flippers. The beak is short and modest. The overall style stays soft and coordinated with the bunny rather than cartoonishly exaggerated.
- With pale blue yarn, Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc x 6. (18)
- Round 4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
- Rounds 5-9: sc around. (24)
- Round 10: 2 sc, dec x 6. (18)
- Rounds 11-13: sc around. (18)
- Round 14: sc, dec x 6. (12)
Insert 4 mm eyes between Rounds 6 and 7 with about 5 stitches between. Stuff firmly but keep the neck area smooth.
- Round 15: sc around. (12)
- Round 16: dec x 6. (6)
- Fasten off and close.
Duck Beak
Using pale blue or a very slightly deeper blue, ch 5. Starting in second ch from hook, sc 3, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side with 2 sc, inc in last. Fasten off. Sew flat and slightly projecting at the center face.
Duck Feet Make 2
Make each foot with 6 sc in MR, then one round of 6 sc. Flatten slightly into a small oval and sew to the lower body. Angle them outward a little for balance.
Duck Beret
Use dusty rose yarn. Make a miniature version of the bunny hat:
- Ch 14 and join.
- Rounds 1-2: sc around. (14)
- Round 3: sc, inc x 7. (21)
- Rounds 4-5: sc around. (21)
- Round 6: sc, dec x 7. (14)
Fasten off and add a tiny short tassel if desired. Sew lightly tilted on top of the duck head.
Duck Poncho
Work a very small square-style poncho in cream with dusty blue edging and motif. Begin with ch 16 joined into a ring.
- Round 1: sc around. (16)
- Round 2: in cream, *3 sc, 3 sc in next st* x 4. (24)
- Round 3: continue square shaping with corner increases. (32)
- Round 4: plain round in cream.
📌Thank you for reading the article
Add one tiny central blue curved motif and one blue lower stripe using surface slip stitch. Then attach short cream fringe around the lower edge. Keep the fringe a little shorter than the bunny’s so the duck remains proportionally tidy.
Duck Skirt
With dusty rose yarn, ch 18 and join.
- Round 1: sc around. (18)
- Round 2: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
- Rounds 3-4: sc around. (24)
Add a short dusty rose fringe to the hem. Sew the skirt under the duck poncho.
Duck Star Wand
Make a shorter version of the bunny wand using a 2 to 2.5 inch handle and one small cream star. Secure it to the duck wing or side so it angles outward.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
- Dress the bunny first with skirt, then poncho, then bag strap, then hat.
- Sew the poncho so the center front motif sits exactly in the middle of the chest.
- Keep the hat slightly slouched and angled, with the tassel to one side.
- Check that both ears fall evenly beneath the hat.
- Place the shoes straight and level so the doll stands balanced.
- For the bunny face, keep the nose tiny and the mouth short for a calm sleepy expression.
- For the duck face, keep the beak centered and small so the outfit remains the focus.
Care Notes
- Handle fringe gently to keep it smooth.
- Display away from constant direct sunlight to protect the soft colors.
- If giving as a child’s toy, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.
- Avoid over-brushing the fringe, especially on the ponchos.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Do not soak the dolls unless absolutely necessary, because the fringe, tassel, and surface motifs can lose their neat shape.
If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash very gently in cool water, press out moisture with a towel, reshape while damp, and lay flat to dry. Comb fringe lightly with fingers once nearly dry.
Store in a clean, dry place. Tissue support under the poncho fringe and skirt fringe can help preserve the crisp drape when the set is not on display. Keep away from high humidity to protect the stuffing and trim definition.
