Peter-Pan Patisserie Bunny – Crochet

Peter-Pan Patisserie Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi set brings together a dressed bunny, a tiny squirrel friend, pastel pastries, and a small bouquet in one collectible design. It has the soft, boutique look people search for in a handmade bunny doll, heirloom plush rabbit, and artisan nursery decor piece.

The finished set is ideal for makers who love charming toy crochet, giftable amigurumi, and cottage-style stuffed animals. Its polished outfit, tiny accessories, and pastel palette give it the feel of a handmade collectible doll, a premium baby shower gift, or a whimsical spring display piece.

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 design recreates the full scene shown in the image: a long-eared bunny wearing a blue beret, a blue cardigan, a blue skirted dress with a scalloped hem, cream legs, blue strap shoes, and a white Peter Pan collar.

The set also includes the small squirrel companion in matching clothes, the pastry tray with pastel macarons, the folded napkin beneath it, and the tiny white daisy bouquet. Each piece is written separately so you can complete the entire display cleanly and neatly.

The shaping aims for a gentle, rounded face, a compact body, slim arms, long hanging ears, and a softly flared skirt. The style is polished but approachable, with simple stitches used carefully to create a detailed result that still feels manageable for newer makers.

General Construction Notes

The bunny is made from separate legs joined into a body. The head is worked separately and sewn on. The ears, arms, beret, collar, cardigan front shaping, and shoe straps are all made apart and attached later for the clean layered look seen in the image.

Keep stuffing light in the lower arms and ear tips so they drape naturally. Keep stuffing firmer in the feet, body base, neck, and head. The face looks best when the muzzle area is smooth, so avoid overstuffing the front of the head.

Pastel decorative dots are added after the dress is complete. This is the easiest way to control spacing and match the scattered candy-like look in the image. The beret decoration is also added separately instead of being built into the rounds.

Main Bunny

Legs Make 2

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: sc 18. (18)
  5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec, 2 sc. (14)
  7. Rnd 7: sc 14 in BLO. (14)
  8. Rnd 8-20: sc 14. (14)

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg lightly. Flatten the top opening of the first leg and fasten off. Make the second leg the same, but do not fasten off.

Joining the Legs and Lower Body

Continue with the second leg in cream.

  1. Ch 4 and join to the first leg with sc.
  2. Rnd 21: sc 14 around first leg, sc 4 across chain, sc 14 around second leg, sc 4 on opposite side of chain. (36)
  3. Rnd 22-24: sc 36. (36)
  4. Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec x2, 10 sc, dec x2, 12 sc. (32)
  5. Rnd 26: sc 32. (32)
  6. Rnd 27: 3 sc, dec x2, 8 sc, dec x2, 11 sc. (28)
  7. Rnd 28-29: sc 28. (28)

Begin stuffing the body base. Make sure the join between the legs stays centered. A small amount of extra stuffing at the front lower body helps the skirt sit in a rounded way rather than collapsing inward.

Upper Body and Torso

Switch to sky blue at the end of the last cream round so the dress starts at the natural waistline.

  1. Rnd 30-34: sc 28 in sky blue. (28)
  2. Rnd 35: 5 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec, 7 sc. (26)
  3. Rnd 36: sc 26. (26)
  4. Rnd 37: 4 sc, dec, 11 sc, dec, 7 sc. (24)
  5. Rnd 38: sc 24. (24)
  6. Rnd 39: 4 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec, 6 sc. (22)
  7. Rnd 40-42: sc 22. (22)

Stuff firmly up through the chest. The upper torso should be narrow but not thin. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing the head later, or leave the opening open if you prefer to attach the head with the tail from the head piece.

Head

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 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 9-17: sc 48. (48)
  10. Rnd 18: 6 sc, dec x6. (42)
  11. Rnd 19: 5 sc, dec x6. (36)
  12. Rnd 20: 4 sc, dec x6. (30)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert the eyes between Rnds 12 and 13 with about 10 stitches between them. Test placement before securing. The face in the image is soft and wide-set, so avoid placing the eyes too high or too close together.

  1. Rnd 21: 3 sc, dec x6. (24)

Stuff the head firmly, especially the lower sides and forehead. Keep the front center smooth for the embroidered nose and mouth.

  1. Rnd 22: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)
  2. Rnd 23: sc, dec x6. (12)
  3. Rnd 24: dec x6. (6)

Fasten off and close the opening.

Ears Make 2

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 12. (12)
  4. Rnd 4: sc, inc x6. (18)
  5. Rnd 5-7: sc 18. (18)
  6. Rnd 8: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
  7. Rnd 9-20: sc 16. (16)
  8. Rnd 21: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
  9. Rnd 22-28: sc 14. (14)

Flatten each ear and close with 7 sc through both sides, or leave open and sew flat later. Do not stuff, or use only a trace of stuffing at the base. The ears should hang long and soft, reaching down near the chest.

Arms Make 2

Start with cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3-4: sc 12. (12)
  4. Rnd 5: change to sky blue, sc 12. (12)
  5. Rnd 6-16: sc 12. (12)
  6. Rnd 17: 4 sc, dec x2, 4 sc. (10)
  7. Rnd 18-20: sc 10. (10)

Stuff the hand and lower sleeve lightly. Flatten the arm top and close with 5 sc through both sides, or sew closed later. The arms are straight, relaxed, and attached slightly angled downward.

Skirt Portion of Dress

This flared skirt is attached around the waist area of the body and worked downward. Use sky blue yarn.

Join yarn around the first blue waist round of the torso, roughly at Rnd 30. Work evenly around with the right side facing out.

  1. Rnd 1: 28 sc around. (28)
  2. Rnd 2: in FLO, 2 sc in each st around. (56)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 56. (56)
  4. Rnd 4: 6 sc, inc x8. (64)
  5. Rnd 5: sc 64. (64)
  6. Rnd 6: 7 sc, inc x8. (72)
  7. Rnd 7-9: sc 72. (72)

The skirt should flare gently, not dramatically. If your yarn is thicker, stop one increase round earlier. If your yarn is thinner, add one extra plain round before the edging so the dress reaches just above the knees.

Scalloped Hem

Change colors every scallop or every few scallops in pastel pink, pastel mint, pale yellow, and pastel lavender. You may also keep sky blue as the final round and sew pastel puffs later, but the image shows a soft multicolor shell edge.

  1. Hem Round: *sl st in next st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st* repeat around.

If the stitch count does not land perfectly, adjust discreetly on the back. The hem should look rounded and candy-soft, not overly ruffled.

Pastel Dots on the Skirt

Use tiny bobble-like stitched dots or sew on tiny crocheted knots. The image shows many evenly scattered pastel accents across the skirt. These should sit mainly on the lower half and appear in pink, yellow, mint, lavender, and pale blue.

  • Make 18 to 24 tiny dots total.
  • Place them in staggered rows rather than a strict grid.
  • Keep a small gap above the scalloped hem so the edge remains visible.
  • Concentrate a few dots near the center front for balance.

An easy method is to use French-knot style wraps with yarn and secure them firmly from the inside. Another neat option is a tiny 3-stitch popcorn sewn flat. Keep each dot small so the dress stays elegant.

Front Peach Bib Panel

This piece recreates the peach triangular apron-like panel centered under the collar. Use pale peach yarn.

  1. Ch 7.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (6)
  3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across. (6)
  4. Row 3: dec, 2 sc, dec. (4)
  5. Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (4)
  6. Row 5: dec, 2 sc together. (2)
  7. Row 6: sc 2.

Fasten off and outline the panel with tiny surface stitches if desired. Sew it to the upper front torso centered under the collar. Add a couple of tiny vertical accent stitches in a slightly darker peach or tan for the subtle detail shown in the image.

White Peter Pan Collar

Use white yarn. This collar is made as a curved strip, then scalloped around the outer edge. It should sit widely across the shoulders and meet at the center front.

  1. Ch 26.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (25)
  3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, dec, sc 21, dec. (23)
  4. Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc across. (23)
  5. Row 4: ch 1, turn, dec, sc 19, dec. (21)
  6. Row 5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (21)

Now work a decorative edging around the outer curve only.

  1. Edging: *sl st, ch 2, 2 dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in next st* repeated to form small rounded scallops.

Leave the inner neck edge plain. Sew the collar around the neckline so the points spread over the cardigan and the center opening forms a soft shallow V shape.

Cardigan

The cardigan is made in separate parts for the best fit: back-and-sleeve body as one piece, then two front panels added, or you may make a simple flat garment and sew it over the torso. This version gives a neat result without excess bulk.

Back Panel

Using sky blue yarn.

  1. Ch 17.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (16)
  3. Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (16)

This panel should cover the upper back from shoulder to just below the waistline.

Front Panels Make 2

  1. Ch 9.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (8)
  3. Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)
  4. Row 9: shape neckline by working 5 sc only.
  5. Row 10: turn, dec, 3 sc. (4)
  6. Row 11: turn, sc 4.

Make one mirrored if you like, or simply flip the second piece when sewing. Sew the shoulder tops to the back panel. Sew the side seams lightly to the body so the cardigan appears fitted but still open at the center front.

Sleeves Make 2

Using sky blue yarn.

  1. Ch 14.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (13)
  3. Row 2-10: ch 1, turn, sc across. (13)

Sew each sleeve into a tube and attach over the crocheted arm bases if needed, or use them as a decorative outer layer over the built-in blue arms. The image shows a softly puffed sleeve with a small gathered wrist, so gently cinch one edge while sewing.

Cardigan Finishing

  • Work one round of sc around the front openings and lower edge.
  • Add 2 or 3 tiny pastel or beige embroidered dots to suggest buttons.
  • Shape the lower front corners so they curve slightly outward.
  • Sew the cardigan permanently to the body to prevent shifting.

The cardigan should end just above the widest part of the skirt so the dress flare remains visible.

Shoes Make 2

Use sky blue yarn for the shoes and pastel yarn for the tiny flower embellishments.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: sc 24 in BLO. (24)
  6. Rnd 6: sc 24. (24)
  7. Rnd 7: 6 sc, dec x3, 9 sc. (21)
  8. Rnd 8: 5 sc, dec x3, 7 sc. (18)

Slip the shoe over the lower foot and sew it in place. Leave an opening at the top center to show the cream foot. For the strap, chain 8 to 10, sew across the instep, and secure at both sides.

Add a tiny flower on the outer side of each shoe using 5 small petals in pastel cream, pale yellow, or mint. Center each flower with one knot stitch. The shoe opening should look rounded like a Mary Jane style.

Beret

Use sky blue yarn. The beret is wide, softly domed, and slightly oversized so it sits low on the forehead.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: 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 11-14: sc 60. (60)
  12. Rnd 15: 8 sc, dec x6. (54)
  13. Rnd 16: 7 sc, dec x6. (48)
  14. Rnd 17: 6 sc, dec x6. (42)
  15. Rnd 18: sc 42 in BLO. (42)
  16. Rnd 19-20: sc 42. (42)

Fasten off. Add a tiny center nub on top by joining yarn at the crown and making 4 to 5 chain stitches, then sl st back down. This creates the little top stem seen in the image.

Beret Decorations

Make three or four tiny pastel motifs: one pink rosette, one mint leaf cluster, one lavender bud, and one pale peach piece. Sew them at the right front side of the beret.

  • Mini rosette: ch 8, work 2 hdc in each ch, roll and stitch closed
  • Leaf: ch 4, sl st, sc, hdc along chain, fasten off
  • Bud: 5 sc in MR, fasten off

Cluster them closely so they look like tiny pastries or fabric trims rather than large flowers.

Facial Embroidery for the Bunny

Use dark brown or black thread for the curved eyebrows. Position them slightly above the eyes and tilt them softly upward toward the outer edges.

Use pale peach or tan thread for the nose and mouth. Stitch a very small horizontal triangle or satin nose centered between the eyes and about 3 rounds lower. Extend a short vertical line downward, then split into a tiny Y-shaped mouth.

Add a light blush to the cheeks below and slightly outside the eyes. Keep it soft and round. The face should stay delicate, calm, and childlike.

Assembly of the Main Bunny

  1. Sew the head to the torso, centering it carefully and reinforcing the neck.
  2. Sew the ears to the sides of the head under the beret line so they hang long and straight.
  3. Attach the arms slightly below the neck and angle them gently downward.
  4. Sew the peach bib panel to the chest center.
  5. Add the cardigan pieces and secure the front edges.
  6. Sew on the white collar over the cardigan neckline.
  7. Attach the beret so it sits low and slightly tilted.
  8. Place the pastel skirt dots and shoe flowers last.

Check the overall silhouette from the front and side before fully knotting off all sewing tails. Small changes in ear angle, beret tilt, and collar spread make a big difference in matching the image.

Tiny Squirrel Companion

The squirrel is small, round, and dressed to echo the bunny. It has a taupe-gray body, a plump tail, black eyes, a pale muzzle feel, and a blue outfit with a white collar or bib and pastel details.

Squirrel Head and Body

Using taupe-gray yarn, work the head and body as one piece.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x6. (30)
  6. Rnd 6-10: sc 30. (30)
  7. Rnd 11: 3 sc, dec x6. (24)
  8. Rnd 12-14: sc 24. (24)
  9. Rnd 15: 2 sc, dec x6. (18)
  10. Rnd 16-18: sc 18. (18)
  11. Rnd 19: sc, dec x6. (12)

Insert eyes between Rnds 7 and 8 with about 6 stitches between them. Stuff firmly. Close after a final decrease round if needed.

Squirrel Ears Make 2

  1. Rnd 1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (8)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 8.

Flatten lightly and sew to the top of the head.

Squirrel Tail

Use taupe-gray yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3-6: sc 12.
  4. Rnd 7: 4 sc, dec x2, 4 sc. (10)
  5. Rnd 8-12: sc 10.

Stuff lightly and curve the tail upward before sewing to the back. It should rise behind the squirrel and be visible from the front side view.

Squirrel Outfit

Use sky blue yarn for a simple tiny jacket-dress shape.

  1. Join at body waist area and work 18 sc around.
  2. Next round: increase to 24 for a slight skirt flare.
  3. Work 3 rounds even.
  4. Finish with tiny pastel shell edging.

Add a white bib or collar at the chest using a tiny white semicircle. Add a few pastel dots to the skirt front. Make a miniature blue cap or beret by working a flat circle to 24 stitches, then one decrease round, and decorate with tiny pastel knots.

For the arms, sew two tiny blue tubes or simply embroider short rounded sleeves at the sides. Add a blush to the cheeks and a tiny pink nose.

Macaron Tray

This accessory includes a folded napkin, a tan tray or board, a carry cord, and four pastel macarons. Keep these pieces very small and tidy.

Napkin Base

Using pale blue or white yarn.

  1. Ch 11.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (10)
  3. Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (10)

Fasten off. Embroider a tiny pink and green motif in one corner if you want to match the delicate printed look in the image.

Tray Board

Using tan or pale beige yarn.

  1. Ch 9.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (8)
  3. Row 2-4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)

For the raised border, work one round of slip stitches around the rectangle. Add a long chain handle or cord and let it curl naturally beside the tray.

Macarons Make 4

Use pastel pink, mint, pale yellow, and pale blue or lavender.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 12 in BLO.

Make two tiny discs for each macaron. Sew them together with a small ridge of cream yarn in between to suggest filling. Keep them plump and round. Arrange all four on the tray before sewing lightly in place.

Daisy Bouquet

The bouquet has several white daisies with yellow centers and short green stems gathered together. Make 4 to 6 flowers for the right scale.

Daisy Flower Make 4 to 6

Using yellow yarn for the center.

  1. Center: 5 sc in MR, sl st to close.

Switch to white yarn.

  1. Petals: *ch 3, sl st in second ch from hook, sl st in next ch, sl st in next center st* repeat 5 or 6 times around.

Fasten off with a tail. Make stems by chaining 6 to 8 in green, or wrap green yarn around a short thin wire for more control. Sew the flowers together into a small bunch and wrap the lower stems with green yarn.

Placement Guide for Image Accuracy

  • The bunny head is large and rounded, about as wide as the torso plus skirt waist area.
  • The ears hang to around the upper chest or cardigan edge.
  • The beret sits low, covering the top of the forehead.
  • The white collar spreads broadly and remains visible over the blue cardigan.
  • The peach bib panel sits centered and narrow under the collar opening.
  • The skirt flares outward and ends above the ankles.
  • The scalloped hem is multicolored and soft, not sharply pointed.
  • The pastel dots are scattered across the lower skirt only.
  • The shoes are rounded with a visible top opening and one strap.
  • The squirrel reaches roughly one-third of the bunny’s total height.

Tips for Neat Results

  • Use invisible decreases on all visible shaping areas.
  • Keep the face stitches very centered before embroidery.
  • Pin the collar and beret before sewing permanently.
  • Do not overcrowd the beret decoration.
  • Use smaller pastel dots on the squirrel than on the bunny.
  • Keep the accessories slightly understated so the bunny remains the focal point.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew all major parts only after pinning them first. The bunny looks best when the head is centered, the ears are even, and the beret is slightly tilted. Keep the eyebrows small, the nose delicate, and the blush soft so the expression stays gentle.

For the squirrel, place the tail high enough to be clearly visible and keep the outfit snug. Arrange the tray and bouquet at the bunny’s feet for the full display composition.

Care Notes

Handle the set gently because of the many small sewn embellishments. It works best as a decorative plush or supervised gift item rather than a rough-play toy. Keep it away from heavy moisture and direct prolonged sunlight to preserve color.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head attached straight and secure
  • Ears even in height and length
  • Beret tilted and stitched firmly
  • Collar centered and lying flat
  • Peach bib centered under collar opening
  • Skirt dots balanced across the front
  • Shoe straps and flowers matched
  • Squirrel outfit and cap aligned
  • Macarons secured to tray
  • Bouquet stems wrapped neatly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the doll because stuffing can dry unevenly and tiny sewn details may loosen. Pat dry with a towel and air dry fully on a flat surface away from heat.

For long-term storage, wrap the set lightly in clean tissue and keep it in a dry box. Do not crush the beret, collar, or bouquet. A little acid-free tissue inside the hat and skirt can help preserve the shape between displays.
