Babydoll Pudding Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi bunny brings together a soft floppy-eared rabbit, a pastel patchwork outfit, a wide-brim sun hat, tiny flower sandals, and charming artist accessories. If you love searching for a handmade bunny doll, heirloom nursery decor, or an amigurumi gift idea, this design captures that cozy boutique look beautifully.

The set also includes a painter’s palette purse, a tiny bouquet, a crochet brush, and a miniature butterfly friend dressed to match. It has the feel of a collectible crochet bunny doll, artisan stuffed rabbit, and spring nursery toy all in one, while still being approachable for careful beginners.

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 pattern is written in US English and is designed to recreate the complete set shown in the image as closely as possible.

The main figure is a standing bunny with:

• A rounded head with a softly pointed muzzle
• Long floppy ears placed low on the head
• A simple stitched nose and mouth
• A plain, slim body hidden under the clothing
• A square yoke top made from floral granny-style motifs
• A gently flared pastel skirt with vertical panels
• A wide pink hat with a scalloped cream edging
• Flower-decorated sandals

The accessory group includes:

• A flat crochet painter’s palette purse with shoulder strap
• A tiny mixed-color flower bouquet
• A slim crochet paintbrush
• A miniature butterfly doll wearing a matching hat and dress

Skill Level

Intermediate with patient finishing.

A newer crocheter can absolutely make this project if they work slowly, count carefully, and use stitch markers in every round.

Finished Size

Using light DK cotton or cotton-blend yarn and a tight amigurumi gauge, the main bunny stands about 11 to 12 inches tall from the soles of the sandals to the top of the head, not including the hat brim.

The miniature butterfly doll stands about 3 to 3.5 inches tall.

The purse is about 2.5 inches across, and the brush is about 2.75 inches long.

Gauge and Tension Notes

For the bunny and miniature doll, crochet more tightly than you would for garments. The stitches in the image are small, even, and dense, with very little stuffing visible through the fabric.

The face and body look smooth rather than lumpy. If your rounds begin to lean or your stuffing shows through, go down a hook size.

📌Thank you for reading the article

The clothing should fit snugly but not stretch the body out of shape. The yoke top is slightly boxy, while the skirt flares gently. The hat brim should drape softly downward around the face.

Color Placement Notes

The charm of this design comes from its restrained pastel palette.

• The bunny itself is a single neutral shade
• The top uses framed floral square motifs in cream with pastel flower centers
• The skirt alternates vertical pale sections rather than strong stripes
• The hat is mostly blush pink with a cream lacy edge
• The sandals are neutral with small pastel flowers

Keep all colors muted. Avoid bright neon shades. The image reads as soft, vintage, and handmade.

Main Bunny

Head

Start with the bunny’s head in the main neutral yarn.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (42)
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. (48)
9. Round 9: 7 sc, inc rep around. (54)
10. Rounds 10 to 18: sc around. (54)

The head in the photo is slightly taller than a perfect sphere because the muzzle is shaped from the front and the neck is narrow. To recreate that look, keep the stuffing smooth and firm at the cheeks but not overstuffed at the top.

Place the eyes between Rounds 12 and 13 with about 10 stitches between them. The eyes are small, glossy, and set wide apart, which gives the bunny its calm expression.

For the muzzle shaping:

• Add a little extra stuffing to the lower front of the head
• Use a long strand of matching yarn to make a shallow horizontal indent beneath the eyes
• This draws the muzzle forward gently without needing a separate snout piece

Continue shaping the lower head:

1. Round 19: 7 sc, dec rep around. (48)
2. Round 20: 6 sc, dec rep around. (42)
3. Round 21: 5 sc, dec rep around. (36)
4. Round 22: 4 sc, dec rep around. (30)
5. Round 23: BLO sc around. (30)
6. Round 24: 3 sc, dec rep around. (24)

Stuff firmly. The neck opening should remain fairly small.

Body

The body is slim and simple because the outfit defines most of the silhouette.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Rounds 6 to 9: sc around. (30)
7. Round 10: 8 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec, 5 sc. (28)
8. Rounds 11 to 14: sc around. (28)
9. Round 15: 5 sc, dec rep around. (24)
10. Rounds 16 to 18: sc around. (24)

Stuff lightly to medium. The dress will sit better if the body is neat and straight rather than heavily rounded.

Sew the body to the head securely. The neck should be centered and stable enough to support the hat.

Arms

The arms are long, slim, softly tapered, and hang straight down. Make 2.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3 to 5: sc around. (12)
4. Round 6: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
5. Rounds 7 to 20: sc around. (10)
6. Round 21: flatten and sc through both sides 5 stitches to close

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff only the lower half and keep the upper half flatter. This helps the arms rest naturally against the sides of the dress.

Sew the arms slightly below the neckline, angled gently inward.

Legs

The legs are hidden mostly by the skirt, so they can be simple narrow tubes with flat soles. Make 2.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: BLO sc around. (12)
4. Round 4: sc around. (12)
5. Round 5: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
6. Rounds 6 to 14: sc around. (10)

Stuff lightly. Leave a tail for sewing.

Sew both legs under the body so the bunny can stand with sandal support. If needed, add a small cardboard or plastic insert inside each sandal sole later for stability.

Ears

The ears are long, wide at the top, softly rounded at the ends, and slightly flattened. Make 2.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Rounds 6 to 10: sc around. (30)
7. Round 11: 13 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec. (28)
8. Rounds 12 to 15: sc around. (28)
9. Round 16: 12 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec. (26)
10. Rounds 17 to 24: sc around. (26)
11. Round 25: 11 sc, dec, 11 sc, dec. (24)
12. Rounds 26 to 30: sc around. (24)
13. Flatten the end and close with sc across

Do not stuff the ears. Light steaming can help them hang smoothly.

Sew them low on the head, just under the hat line, so they frame the face and fall straight down to about shoulder level.

Face Embroidery

The face is very minimal. This matters because the calm expression is part of the design.

• Use medium brown embroidery floss or thin yarn
• Stitch a tiny inverted triangle nose centered two to three rounds below the eyes
• Add a short vertical line downward
• Split into a very soft Y-shape for the mouth

Keep the mouth tiny. Overstitching will change the gentle mood of the bunny.

Patchwork Floral Top

The top is a short, square-shouldered pullover made from small floral motifs joined into a yoke and body panel. It fits like a boxy artist smock.

Make 8 floral squares for the visible front, sleeves, and side continuation. You may also make 10 if you prefer a fully motif-based back.

Mini Floral Square Motif

Make each square with a different pastel flower center but the same cream outer framing.

1. Round 1: With flower color, 8 sc in MR, join. (8)
2. Round 2: ch 1, in each stitch work puff or cluster effect using hdc or dc groups, join. Keep it petal-like. (8 petals)
3. Round 3: Switch to cream. Work around petals with corner spaces to square the motif: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in corners, and 3 dc clusters on sides.
4. Round 4: Continue in cream with sc or hdc around to firm the square edge.

Your finished motifs should be slightly raised in the flower center, with a neat cream border.

Arrange the visible front as follows:

• Top row: blue flower square, pale blue flower square, sage flower square
• Bottom row: blue-violet flower square, lavender-pink flower square, pastel mixed flower square

Add one square at each upper side to suggest cap sleeves. In the image, the sleeves look like motif-based shoulder caps rather than deep sleeves.

Joining the Top

Join the squares using whip stitch or slip stitch through back loops only for a clean front. Make a front panel of 2 rows by 3 squares. Add one square to each shoulder side as sleeve caps. Create a plain cream back panel if you want a smoother fit.

Work a neckline edging in cream:

• Join cream yarn at the neck opening
• Work one round of sc evenly
• Work one round of reverse sc or very small picot edging if desired

📌Thank you for reading the article

The neckline in the image sits high and neat, almost collar-like, but not ruffled.

For the lower edge of the top, work one round of cream sc and one round of hdc to firm the hem.

Patchwork Skirt

The skirt is ankle length, softly structured, and divided into vertical pastel panels. It begins at the waist and widens gradually. The center front panel is cream, while the surrounding panels are pale watercolor shades.

Skirt Base

Using cream or a cream-variegated pastel, chain enough to fit around the waist snugly, then join without twisting.

A good starting count is 48 to 60 stitches, depending on your yarn and hook. The skirt should sit just below the top.

1. Round 1: sc evenly around
2. Round 2: hdc around
3. Round 3: hdc around, placing 6 evenly spaced increases
4. Rounds 4 to 10: hdc around
5. Round 11: place another 6 evenly spaced increases
6. Rounds 12 to 18: hdc around
7. Round 19: place 6 evenly spaced increases
8. Rounds 20 to 24: hdc around

Adjust the length so the skirt falls to the ankle, leaving the sandals visible.

Panel Definition

To mimic the visible sections in the image, surface crochet or embroider vertical panel lines from waist to hem. Then lightly weave pastel strands through alternating sections.

Suggested panel order from left to right on the front:

• Pale blue
• Mint-lavender mix
• Cream center panel
• Soft sage
• Pale blue-lilac mix

The colors should blur softly rather than look sharply striped. A variegated pastel yarn works very well for this.

Skirt Flowers

The skirt has small dimensional flowers placed around the lower front sides. Make 4 to 6 tiny blossoms.

For each flower:

1. With white or cream, make 5 petals into a tiny ring using ch loops or puff petals
2. With yellow, add a French knot or tiny center stitch
3. With sage, make a small rounded backing leaf disk

Sew the flowers onto the skirt in balanced positions near the lower side panels.

Sandals

The sandals are one of the details that make the set feel finished. They are soft, open-toe shoes with ankle straps and little floral decorations.

Soles

Make 2 soles in taupe, beige, or muted mauve.

1. Chain 7
2. Round 1: work around the chain oval-style to create a sole shape
3. Round 2: inc at toe and heel ends to widen slightly
4. Round 3: BLO sc around to begin the side wall

Test the fit against the bunny’s foot. The sole should be just a bit wider than the leg tube.

Upper Straps

• Add a front toe strap in cream or pale mauve
• Add a side strap crossing toward the ankle
• Add a narrow heel or ankle strap if needed for stability

Make a tiny flower for each sandal using pink petals and a green leaf base. Sew near the outer top side of each sandal.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Slip the sandals on before fully securing the legs if needed.

Sun Hat

The hat is a major visual feature. It has a rounded blush crown and a wide floppy brim finished with a delicate cream scalloped edge.

Hat Crown

Using dusty blush pink:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (42)
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. (48)
9. Rounds 9 to 15: sc around. (48)

Try the crown over the bunny’s head. It should sit low enough to cover the ear base area.

Hat Brim

1. Round 16: BLO sc around. (48)
2. Round 17: 7 sc, inc rep around. (54)
3. Round 18: sc around. (54)
4. Round 19: 8 sc, inc rep around. (60)
5. Round 20: sc around. (60)
6. Round 21: 9 sc, inc rep around. (66)
7. Round 22: sc around. (66)

Switch to cream for the edging.

1. Round 23: sc around in cream
2. Round 24: make scallops using a repeat such as sl st, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1, sl st

The brim should ripple gently, not frill dramatically. If it waves too much, reduce increases. If it looks too stiff, add one more increase round.

Painter’s Palette Purse

This accessory is a flat oval palette with colorful paint dots and a long strap. It sits on the table in front of the bunny and is an important styling piece.

Palette Base

Using cream or pale beige:

1. Chain 10
2. Round 1: work an oval around the chain, increasing at both ends
3. Round 2: sc around
4. Round 3: slight increases at the rounded ends to make a painter’s palette shape

Flatten and lightly stuff with a tiny felt insert or leave unstuffed.

Thumb Hole Detail

To suggest the palette hole:

• Embroider a small oval opening shape near the upper left
• Or crochet a tiny ring and sew it on flat

Paint Dots

Make or embroider six raised circles in the following shades:

• Navy
• Sky blue
• Red
• Yellow
• Lavender
• Green

Place them evenly across the palette face.

Strap

Chain a long cord, then slip stitch back across for strength. Sew one end to each upper side of the palette.

The strap in the image is long and thin, loose on the table, and not bulky.

Tiny Bouquet

This bouquet is made of several miniature blossoms tied together in pastel shades. It should look slightly wild and delicate rather than formal.

Mini Flowers

Make 6 to 9 tiny flowers in mixed colors:

• Yellow
• Lavender
• Blue
• Pink
• Cream

For each flower:

1. Make a tiny center ring
2. Add 4 or 5 small petals using ch loops and sl st
3. Attach a green stem yarn tail

📌Thank you for reading the article

Bundle together and wrap with a lavender tie strand. Trim the ends neatly.

Crochet Paintbrush

The brush is slim, simple, and placed on the table. It has a tan handle, a white ferrule band, and a darker brush tip.

1. With tan, chain 14 and sl st back, or make a narrow i-cord style crochet tube
2. Add 2 or 3 stitches in white at one end for the metal ferrule
3. Add a tiny tapered tip in peach-brown

Lightly stuff only if needed. A floral wire core can help it stay straight.

Mini Butterfly Doll

This miniature figure is not just an extra toy. It echoes the main bunny’s outfit and adds storytelling to the set. Its head is round, body simple, and wings large compared to its size.

Mini Head

Using cream:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Rounds 4 to 7: sc around. (18)
5. Round 8: 4 sc, dec rep around. (15)
6. Round 9: sc around. (15)

Add tiny black eyes between Rounds 5 and 6. Embroider a very small nose.

Mini Body

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3 to 6: sc around. (12)

Attach head to body.

Mini Arms and Legs

Make tiny tubes or simple chains wrapped with sc. Keep them slim.

The miniature doll’s limbs are understated because the wings and outfit do most of the visual work.

Mini Dress

Use the same pastel panel concept as the main skirt. Make a small flared tube skirt in alternating cream, peach, mint, and pale blue sections. Add a cream upper section for the bodice.

You may surface-crochet narrow vertical lines to define panels.

Mini Hat

Make a tiny tan or straw-colored hat:

• Small rounded crown
• Flat brim
• Narrow pink stripe around the hat band

This hat should sit just above the eyes and match the artist-garden aesthetic.

Mini Scarf

Add a tiny olive or sage scarf around the neck. In the image it looks like a soft green accent that breaks up the cream body and dress.

Butterfly Wings

The wings are large and dramatic compared to the mini body. Make 4 wing sections or 2 joined wing pieces.

Each wing should include:

• A black outer edge
• White inner section near the body
• Warm pink, peach, rose, and muted orange bands

Use layered rows of sc, hdc, and dc to build a wing with gentle curves. Make the upper wings slightly taller than the lower wings. Sew to the back after shaping.

Add two thin black antennae using wire wrapped with yarn or stiff embroidery floss.

Joining and Dressing Order

1. Sew the head to the body
2. Sew the legs in place and test standing balance
3. Sew the arms to the sides
4. Attach the ears low on the head
5. Put on the skirt and secure it at the waist if desired
6. Dress the bunny in the floral top
7. Add the sandals
8. Place the hat on the head and tack it in a few hidden spots
9. Arrange the accessories nearby or tack them lightly for display photography

Styling Notes for Accuracy

To match the image closely, pay special attention to proportion.

• The head is large but not oversized compared with the body
• The ears reach roughly to the upper torso
• The top ends around the waistline
• The skirt is wider at the hem than at the waist, but only gently
• The hat brim dips around the sides and front
• The face remains very simple and calm

The overall impression should be soft, tidy, and artisanal. Avoid making any single element too bold.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Before calling the project complete, step back and compare the silhouette from the front. The hat should frame the face, the ears should fall evenly, and the skirt should flare softly without stiffness.

Check the eye placement one last time. The eyes should sit wide apart and level. Revisit the nose and mouth only if truly needed, because a tiny adjustment can change the whole personality of the bunny.

Lightly shape the cheeks with your fingers. Smooth the dress panels and set the flower appliqués so they face forward. If desired, tack the hat in place with two or three hidden stitches behind the ears.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight
• Keep away from high humidity to preserve shape
• Do not machine wash
• Handle the miniature accessories gently
• Store the bouquet and brush separately if the toy will be played with often

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Both ears are attached at the same height
• Eyes are level and evenly spaced
• Hat brim sits evenly around the head
• Top and skirt proportions look balanced
• Sandal flowers are secured firmly
• Palette dots are evenly placed
• Mini butterfly wings are symmetrical
• All yarn tails are woven in securely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the bunny gently with a soft dry brush. For small marks, spot clean with a cloth that is only slightly damp and blot immediately with a towel. Never soak the stuffed pieces, especially the head, hat, or winged miniature.

If the hat brim or ears lose shape, reshape them by hand and let them air dry flat. Store the set in a clean breathable box with acid-free tissue paper. Avoid crushing the hat, wings, and bouquet during storage.
