Finished Size

The large bunny measures about 10.5 to 12 inches tall from the feet to the top of the hat, depending on yarn choice and tension. The fairy companion measures about 3 inches tall. The star purse is about 3 inches across, and the wand is about 4.5 inches long.

Design Notes

  • Work in continuous rounds unless a row or joined round is clearly stated.
  • Use a stitch marker and move it at the end of every round.
  • Stuff firmly but do not overfill. The bunny in the image has a smooth, softly rounded shape.
  • The facial features are simple and centered, so careful placement matters more than extra decoration.
  • The skirt should drape, not stand stiffly. If your fabric is too rigid, go up one hook size for the skirt only.

Joining the Legs and Lower Body

The bunny stands with the legs placed close together. Keep both feet facing forward. Add a little extra stuffing into the upper part of each leg before joining.

  1. From the second leg, ch 3 and join to the first leg.
  2. Rnd 16: sc 12 around first leg, sc 3 across chain, sc 12 around second leg, sc 3 on opposite side of chain. (30)
  3. Rnd 17: sc around. (30)
  4. Rnd 18: sc 13, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 13. (32)
  5. Rnd 19-22: sc around. (32 each round)

Torso

The torso is petite with a soft doll-like waist and a gentle curve into the chest. The dress bodice will cover part of this section, so keep the shaping neat and centered.

  1. Rnd 23: sc 6, dec, sc 14, dec, sc 8. (30)
  2. Rnd 24: sc around. (30)
  3. Rnd 25: sc 5, dec, sc 13, dec, sc 8. (28)
  4. Rnd 26-27: sc around. (28 each round)

Neck

  1. Rnd 35: sc 4, dec, sc 7, dec, sc 4, dec, sc 7, dec. (30)
  2. Rnd 36: sc around. (30)
  3. Rnd 37: sc 3, dec, sc 5, dec, sc 3, dec, sc 5, dec. (26)
  4. Rnd 38: sc around. (26)
  5. Rnd 39: sc 2, dec, sc 4, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 4, dec. (22)

Add extra stuffing to keep the neck stable. A small rolled piece of felt or a short support stick may be added if you want a firmer neck, but it is not required if your stitches are tight.

Head

The head is rounded and slightly wider than the body, with a sweet flattened muzzle area created by even shaping and light embroidery rather than a separate snout piece. The image shows a smooth, calm face with evenly spaced eyes and a tiny stitched nose and mouth.

  1. Rnd 40: in BLO, inc around. (44)
  2. Rnd 41: sc 6, inc, repeat around. (50)
  3. Rnd 42: sc 7, inc, repeat around. (56)
  4. Rnd 43-51: sc around. (56 each round)

Place the eyes between rnds 47 and 48 with about 8 visible stitches between them. Check from the front before securing. The face should look gentle and centered, not wide or surprised.

  1. Rnd 52: sc 6, dec, repeat around. (49)
  2. Rnd 53: sc 5, dec, repeat around. (42)
  3. Rnd 54: sc 4, dec, repeat around. (35)
  4. Begin stuffing the head firmly, shaping the cheeks with your fingers as you fill.
  5. Rnd 55: sc 3, dec, repeat around. (28)
  6. Rnd 56: sc 2, dec, repeat around. (21)
  7. Rnd 57: sc 1, dec, repeat around. (14)
  8. Rnd 58: dec around. (7)

Fasten off and close the opening neatly.

Arms Make 2

The arms are slim, lightly stuffed, and hang straight downward with only a slight forward angle. They should reach to about the upper skirt area when attached.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. (12 each round)
  4. Rnd 5: sc 4, dec, sc 4, dec. (10)
  5. Rnd 6-16: sc around. (10 each round)
  6. Stuff only the lower half of the arm.
  7. Flatten the top and sc through both sides across 5 stitches to close.

Leave a long tail for sewing.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, soft, and flat, widening slightly at the base. In the image, they fall from under the hat brim and reach well below the shoulders, nearly to the skirt line.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. (12)
  4. Rnd 4: sc 5, inc, sc 5, inc. (14)

  8. Rnd 25: sc 6, dec, sc 6, dec. (14)
  9. Rnd 26-28: sc around. (14 each round)

Do not stuff. Flatten gently and sew the open edge closed only slightly so the base stays broad enough for attachment.

Dress

Bodice

The bodice is dusty blue, fitted, and sleeveless with narrow straps. The cream star is centered on the front. The top edge sits straight across the chest, and the straps are delicate rather than chunky.

Work the bodice as a flat band in rows, then seam at the back.

  1. With blue, ch 28.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (27)
  3. Row 2-10: ch 1, turn, sc across. (27)

Wrap around the body just under the arms. Adjust by one or two stitches if your tension differs. Seam the short ends together neatly at the back.

Bodice Straps Make 2

  1. Join blue at the top front edge, about 5 stitches in from one side.
  2. Ch 10, then sl st back down the chain or work 9 sc back for a slightly sturdier strap.
  3. Attach to the back edge in line with the front placement.
  4. Repeat for second strap.

Front Star Applique

This star is one of the defining details of the set. It should be large enough to fill most of the front bodice panel without touching the edges.

With cream:

  1. Begin with MR.
  2. Into the ring work: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st in second ch from hook, ch 2, sl st to ring.
  3. Repeat the point sequence 5 times to form a five-point star.
  4. Tighten the ring and shape the points evenly.

An alternative sharper point for each arm of the star is: ch 4, sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next, hdc in next, sl st to ring. Repeat 5 times. Choose the version that matches your yarn thickness best.

Sew the star centered to the front of the bodice. Add one or two tiny anchoring stitches within each point so the motif stays flat.

Skirt

The skirt is cream and begins under the bodice. It is fuller than the body and falls in soft folds. The hem forms a handkerchief-style zigzag shape, finished with delicate picot-like trim. Blue edging sits above the final cream lace border.

Join cream to the lower edge of the bodice seam.

  1. Rnd 1: work 54 sc evenly around the lower edge of the bodice. Join with sl st. (54)
  2. Rnd 2: ch 1, sc around in BLO. (54)
  3. Rnd 3: ch 2, hdc inc around. (108)
  4. Rnd 4: hdc around. (108)
  5. Rnd 5: hdc 8, hdc2tog, repeat around. (96)
  6. Rnd 6-7: hdc around. (96 each round)

Now shape the pointed drape. Mark 4 points around the skirt, spacing them evenly. One point should be centered front, one centered back, and one on each side.

  1. Rnd 8: hdc around, but at each marked point work 3 hdc in one stitch. (104)
  2. Rnd 9: hdc around.
  3. Rnd 10: repeat point increases by working 3 hdc in center stitch of each point area. (112)
  4. Rnd 11: hdc around.

Change to blue.

  1. Rnd 12: sl st or sc evenly around, maintaining the point shape. Place 3 stitches at each point center so it stays crisp. (112)

Change back to cream.

  1. Rnd 13: work lace trim as follows: sc in next 2 sts, picot, sc in next 2 sts, picot, repeat around. At each point, work sc, picot, sc, picot, sc into the point center to emphasize the shape.

For a soft picot, use ch 3, sl st into first chain. If you want the tiny looped texture seen in the image, use ch 2 picots rather than ch 3.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are soft blue Mary Jane-style slippers with cream opening details and tiny side bows or knots. They should sit low on the foot and show a cream oval at the opening from the front view.

Start with cream.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. (12)
  4. Rnd 4: in FLO, sc around in cream. (12)

Change to blue.

  1. Rnd 5: in BLO of rnd 4, sc around. (12)
  2. Rnd 6: sc 3, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 3. (10)
  3. Rnd 7: sc around. (10)
  4. Fasten off.

For the strap look, embroider or surface crochet a cream opening oval at the top front. Add a tiny cream bow or knot at each outer side using a short yarn tie.

Hat

The hat is a cream cloche-style bucket hat with a rounded crown and a soft downward brim. Blue flowers with pale centers decorate the front-left and right side areas. The hat sits low enough to cover the top of the ears.

Hat Crown

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 1, inc, repeat around. (18)
  4. Rnd 4: sc 2, inc, repeat around. (24)
  5. Rnd 5: sc 3, inc, repeat around. (30)
  6. Rnd 6: sc 4, inc, repeat around. (36)
  7. Rnd 7: sc 5, inc, repeat around. (42)
  8. Rnd 8: sc 6, inc, repeat around. (48)
  9. Rnd 9-14: sc around. (48 each round)

Hat Brim

  1. Rnd 15: in FLO, sc around. (48)
  2. Rnd 16: sc 7, inc, repeat around. (54)
  3. Rnd 17: sc around. (54)
  4. Rnd 18: sc 8, inc, repeat around. (60)
  5. Rnd 19: sc around. (60)
  6. Rnd 20: sl st loosely around or crab stitch if desired for a firmer edge.

Block the brim gently so it curves downward instead of flaring straight out.

Hat Flower Motifs

Make 3 small blue flowers and add one pale center stitch to the front-right flower, matching the image where one motif has a pale center detail.

With blue:

  1. Make MR.
  2. Into ring repeat 5 times: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st to ring.
  3. Tighten ring and fasten off.

Sew two flowers on one side of the front and one flower on the other side. Add a tiny cream or pale yellow center knot stitch to one motif.

Star Purse

The purse is a plush cream star with a blue strap. It lies flat and has a softly padded look. Make two star panels and join them together.

Star Panel Make 2

With cream:

  1. Start with MR.
  2. Rnd 1: 10 sc in MR. Join. (10)
  3. Rnd 2: work 5 star points around the circle. Each point: ch 6, sc in second ch from hook, hdc, dc, hdc, sc back at base. Repeat 5 times.

Refine the shape by adding a round of sc around the full outer edge, placing 3 sc at each point tip and 1 dec in each valley if needed.

Make a second identical panel. Hold both panels together and join with sc around the outer edge, stuffing lightly before closing.

Purse Strap

  1. With blue, ch 45 to 55, depending on desired length.
  2. Sl st back along the chain or work 1 row of sc.
  3. Sew both ends to the upper left and upper right back area of the star.

Wand

The wand has a slim blue handle and a tiny yellow star at the top. It should look delicate beside the large bunny and proportionate in the fairy’s hand.

Handle

  1. With blue, ch 18.
  2. Sl st back along the chain.

If you want the wand firm, wrap the crochet around thin wire or a wooden skewer cut to size, then tack it closed with a few stitches.

Top Star

With butter yellow, make a very small 5-point star using one of the applique methods from the bodice star, but with shorter chains. Sew firmly to one end of the wand.

Flower Bouquet

The bouquet includes a few tiny white daisies with yellow centers and green stems bound together. The image shows a very small cluster, so keep this part delicate.

Daisies Make 4 or 5

With white:

  1. MR.
  2. Into ring repeat 5 times: ch 3, sl st in second ch from hook, sl st in next ch, sl st to ring.
  3. Fasten off, leaving a short tail.

Add a tiny yellow center knot stitch or a single yellow French knot if desired.

Stems

  1. With green, ch 8 to 10 for each stem.
  2. Sl st back along each chain.
  3. Sew one daisy to the top of each stem.

Gather stems together and tie with green yarn near the lower end.

Tiny Fairy Companion

The fairy companion echoes the large bunny design in miniature. It has a cream face and body, blue hat, blue wings, a cream-and-blue skirt, and holds the star wand. Keep the proportions small and simple so the character remains readable at miniature scale.

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

Assembly

Large Bunny Body Assembly

  1. Sew the ears to the head between rnds 39 and 42, spacing them evenly. They should hang down from under the hat.
  2. Sew the arms to the sides of the torso just below the neck shaping.
  3. Dress the bunny in the bodice and skirt. Stitch the bodice closed at the back with neat invisible whip stitches.
  4. Slide the shoes onto the feet and tack them in place with one or two hidden stitches if needed.
  5. Place the hat low on the forehead and sew it down with tiny hidden stitches under the brim and near the ear bases.

Accessory Placement

  • The purse can rest beside the bunny or be worn over one arm by shortening the strap.
  • The wand can be lightly stitched into one hand for display.
  • The bouquet looks best placed near the feet or loosely sewn into the other hand with one removable stitch.
  • The fairy companion should stand slightly angled, with wings visible from the front.

Facial Embroidery

Use soft peach or light tan yarn for the nose and mouth. Make a tiny horizontal nose centered between the eyes and one or two rounds lower. Bring the thread straight down for the center mouth line, then add a very small V shape. Keep the expression minimal and calm.

If you want a slightly sweeter face, add a faint cream or pale beige stitch just under each eye to create a soft cheek contour. Do not overdo blush or sculpting, because the image shows a clean and simple face.

Shaping Tips for an Accurate Look

  • Head: keep the head very round with a smooth forehead and no pointed crown.
  • Ears: make them long and flat, not thick or heavily stuffed.
  • Body: keep the torso narrow enough that the dress reads clearly.
  • Skirt: the hem should form visible points rather than a plain circle.
  • Hat: the brim should dip softly and frame the eyes.
  • Shoes: keep them small and rounded so the feet remain petite.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew all pieces with matching yarn and keep every seam small and tidy. Check the front view often while attaching the ears, arms, hat, and dress. The eyes, nose, and mouth should stay centered and low enough to give the bunny its gentle expression.

Care Notes

Display use is best for this set because of the small accessories and delicate details. If the bunny will be handled often, secure the wand, flowers, hat, and purse with extra stitches and avoid long loose trims.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Eyes aligned evenly
  • Nose and mouth centered
  • Ears matched in length
  • Hat brim shaped downward
  • Bodice star centered
  • Skirt points evenly spaced
  • Shoes level on both feet
  • Fairy wings attached symmetrically
  • Purse and wand finished neatly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean gently with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Do not machine wash. Reshape while drying flat away from direct sun. Store in a dry space, and keep the piece away from heavy friction, sharp objects, and prolonged moisture.
