Funnel-Neck Breeze Bunny – Crochet.

This sweet handmade bunny doll set blends a soft pastel outfit, a neat bucket hat, a cloud purse, and tiny rainy-day accessories into one polished amigurumi project. It has the charm of a collectible crochet bunny plush, a boutique nursery gift, and a handmade doll you would expect to see in a premium gift shop.

The finished set also includes a tiny frog friend, a matching umbrella, and a folded mini cloth accent, giving the whole display a curated artisan look. If you love heirloom-style stuffed animals, designer amigurumi, or handmade toy decor with a boutique feel, this piece has strong gift-ready appeal.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Materials

• Main bunny yarn: light worsted or fine DK cotton in cream.
• Outfit yarn: light blue cotton in the same weight.
• Contrast yarn: white cotton for cloud details, trim, and accents.
• Frog yarn: green cotton for body, light blue for clothing and hat, white for trim.
• Hook: choose a hook that gives a tight fabric with no visible stuffing gaps. A 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm hook usually works well.
• Stuffing: polyester fiberfill.
• Eyes: black safety eyes for the bunny and small black eyes for the frog, or embroider them if preferred.
• Embroidery thread: pale pink or dusty rose for the bunny nose, cream or white for any optional sculpting touches.
• Tapestry needle, stitch markers, scissors, pins.
• Optional stabilizers: a little plastic canvas or thick felt for the base of the umbrella and the frog if you want them to stand better.

Finished Size

The bunny is designed as a seated-to-standing display doll with a proportionally large head, narrow body, and long floppy ears. With the yarn and hook above, expect the bunny to stand about 9 to 10 inches tall without measuring the hat brim.

The frog is much smaller and should finish around 3 to 3.5 inches tall. The umbrella, folded cloth, purse, and shoes are all scaled to match the bunny shown in the photo.

Construction Overview

• The bunny is made from the legs upward, with the body and neck worked as one piece.
• The head is crocheted separately and sewn to the neck.
• The ears, arms, hat, purse, shoes, umbrella, frog, frog outfit, and small cloth are separate parts.
• The cloud on the chest is worked as an applied motif.
• The skirt section is built directly onto the body for the same smooth silhouette seen in the image.

Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase
• dec = invisible decrease
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• FLO = front loop only
• BLO = back loop only

Important Notes Before You Begin

Keep your stitches firm and even. The bunny in the image has a very smooth surface, clear stitch definition, and a neat, compact finish. Avoid loose tension, especially on the head, neck, and limbs.

Stuff gradually rather than all at once. The body should stay gently tapered, the head should be firmly rounded, and the ears should remain soft and drapey instead of overfilled.

Color placement matters. The cream sections are the face, ears, hands, and legs. The light blue sections are the sweater, skirt, hat, shoes, umbrella, frog clothing, and straps. White is used for trim and cloud work.

Bunny Legs

Make 2 in cream. Stuff the lower foot and leg lightly to medium. The legs in the image are straight, slim, and slightly rounded at the feet, without bulky shaping.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-5: sc around. (18)
5. Round 6: 4 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 3 sc. (16)
6. Rounds 7-8: sc around. (16)
7. Round 9: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
8. Rounds 10-22: sc around. (14)

Fasten off the first leg. Finish the second leg but do not cut the yarn. Add a little extra stuffing at the ankle so the leg keeps a neat cylindrical shape.

Joining the Legs and Lower Body

With the second leg still attached, ch 3 and join to the first leg. Work around the first leg, across the chain, around the second leg, and across the other side of the chain.

1. Round 1: 14 sc on first leg, 3 sc across chain, 14 sc on second leg, 3 sc across opposite side. (34)
2. Round 2: sc around. (34)
3. Round 3: 7 sc, inc, 16 sc, inc, 9 sc. (36)
4. Round 4: sc around. (36)

This gives the gentle lower body width needed under the sweater. Check that the legs hang straight and evenly spaced.

Torso and Funnel Neck

Switch to light blue at the start of the next round. The bunny wears a high funnel-neck top with long sleeves and a fitted upper torso. Keep this section smooth and well stuffed, but do not make it too wide.

1. Round 5: BLO sc around in light blue. (36)
2. Rounds 6-8: sc around. (36)
3. Round 9: 10 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec, 10 sc. (34)
4. Round 10: sc around. (34)
5. Round 11: 9 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec, 8 sc. (32)
6. Round 12: sc around. (32)
7. Round 13: 6 sc, dec, 14 sc, dec, 8 sc. (30)
8. Round 14: sc around. (30)
9. Round 15: 5 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec, 8 sc. (28)
10. Round 16: sc around. (28)

Now form the high neck that shows above the chest and under the hat brim.

1. Round 17: BLO sc around. (28)
2. Rounds 18-21: sc around. (28)
3. Round 22: 5 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec, 7 sc. (26)
4. Round 23: sc around. (26)
5. Round 24: 4 sc, dec, 11 sc, dec, 7 sc. (24)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing the head. Stuff the torso firmly, especially at the waist and neck, so the finished bunny can hold the head upright.

Bunny Head

Work in cream. The head is round and slightly wider than tall, with a smooth forehead and soft cheek fullness. Place the eyes low enough to keep the gentle childlike look from the image.

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

Insert the eyes between Rounds 13 and 14, with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the image are glossy, round, and modest in size. They sit slightly above the nose and give a calm expression.

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

Stuff firmly, shaping the cheeks and forehead with your fingers as you go.

1. Round 23: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
2. Round 24: sc, dec around. (12)
3. Round 25: dec around. (6)

Fasten off and close. Lightly flatten the very bottom center so the head sits securely on the funnel neck.

Bunny Ears

Make 2 in cream. These ears are long, narrow, and softly drooping, reaching to about the upper arm area. They are not stuffed. Their gentle fold comes from sewing angle rather than shaping alone.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc around. (12)
4. Round 4: 5 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc. (14)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (14)
6. Round 9: 6 sc, inc, 6 sc, inc. (16)
7. Rounds 10-22: sc around. (16)
8. Round 23: flatten slightly and sc through both sides for 6 stitches to close the base opening halfway.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Leave a long tail for sewing. Before attaching, pinch the base gently so the ear curves inward.

Bunny Arms

Make 2. Start in cream for the hands, then change to light blue for the sleeves. The arms are slim cylinders with a relaxed downward angle.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3-4: sc around in cream. (12)
4. Round 5: change to light blue and sc around. (12)
5. Rounds 6-17: sc around. (12)
6. Round 18: flatten and sc through both sides for 5 stitches.

Stuff only the lower half lightly. The upper sleeve should stay flatter for easier sewing and a natural drape at the shoulder.

Skirt Foundation

Return to the leftover front loops from torso Round 5, where the sweater meets the lower body. Join light blue. The skirt is flared but not overly wide. It sits like a crisp dress with a decorative lower band.

1. Round 1: work 36 sc evenly in the front loops. (36)
2. Round 2: 3 sc, inc around. (45)
3. Round 3: sc around. (45)
4. Round 4: 4 sc, inc around. (54)
5. Round 5: sc around. (54)

Skirt Texture and Lower Bands

The image shows a subtle decorative middle section and a lower border with white and blue striping. Use simple texture to echo that look without making the fabric stiff.

1. Round 6: BLO hdc around in light blue. (54)
2. Round 7: sc around. (54)
3. Round 8: repeat 2 dc, 1 sc around evenly to create a softly varied texture. Keep the spacing balanced.
4. Round 9: sc around in light blue.
5. Round 10: change to white, sc around.
6. Round 11: change to light blue, dc around.
7. Round 12: change to white, sc around.
8. Round 13: change to light blue, work a small shell edge: sl st, skip 1, 5 dc in next, skip 1, sl st in next around.

The shell edge should be tiny and neat, just enough to suggest the picot-like decorative finish in the photo.

Cloud Chest Motif

In white, make a puffy cloud appliqué for the center front of the sweater. The motif in the image is wide, soft-edged, and sits squarely across the chest.

1. Ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sc 2, hdc 1, dc 1, 5 dc in next ch, dc 1, hdc 1, sc 2 working around the foundation to create a rounded cloud.
3. Add one more small rounded bump on each side by placing 3 dc clusters where needed while shaping.
4. Fasten off with a long tail.

Pin the cloud to the upper chest, centered below the funnel neck. Sew carefully so it stays slightly raised but flat enough not to curl.

Bucket Hat

Work in light blue. The hat has a rounded crown and a short downward brim, sitting low enough to frame the face and partially cover the ear bases.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rounds 9-15: sc around. (48)
10. Round 16: BLO sc around. (48)
11. Round 17: 7 sc, inc around. (54)
12. Rounds 18-20: sc around. (54)
13. Round 21: sl st around loosely for a clean brim edge.

If you want the brim to keep a smoother curve, you may work a thin strand of floral wire or soft cord under the last round, but this is optional.

Cloud Purse

Make 2 cloud shapes in white and one long strap in light blue. The purse in the image is small, plush, and sits at hip level with a thin strap crossing the body.

Cloud Panels

1. Ch 6.
2. Work an oval cloud shape around the chain using sc, hdc, dc, and multiple dc in the end stitches to form rounded bumps.
3. Create a width of about 2 inches with three visible cloud humps across the top.
4. Make 2 matching pieces.

Place the two pieces wrong sides together and seam around the edges with sc or whip stitch, leaving the top slightly open if you want a functional tiny pouch. Lightly stuff if you prefer a fuller look.

Strap

1. In light blue, ch a length that reaches from one side of the purse, across the bunny’s body, to the opposite shoulder with a little slack.
2. Work 1 row of sl st back across or make an i-cord style narrow strap using tight chains and slip stitches.
3. Sew to the purse securely.

Shoes

Make 2 in light blue and cream. The shoes are dainty open-toe sandals with white or cream front sections and blue ankle straps. Keep them slim so the feet remain delicate.

Sole

1. In cream, ch 6.
2. Round 1: work around the chain to form an oval: 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 3 sc on other side, 2 sc in first ch. (12)
3. Round 2: inc at both ends to shape the sole. (16)

Upper

1. Round 3: BLO sc around in light blue. (16)
2. Round 4: 5 sc, dec 3 times, 5 sc. (13)
3. Round 5: sc across the front half only to build the sandal toe band.

Straps

• Attach light blue yarn at one side of the shoe opening and chain a strap long enough to cross the top of the foot.
• Sew the other side down.
• Make a second narrow ankle strap wrapping around the leg and tack in place.
• Add a tiny side knot or sewn nub on each outer ankle to echo the small decorative side details visible in the image.

Large Umbrella

This accessory rests beside the bunny. It is closed, slim, and pointed at the tip, with a curved handle and light blue covering.

Canopy Body

1. In light blue, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-8: sc around, then begin decreasing gradually every other round to form a long closed cone.
5. Finish with 6 stitches and close around a small support stick, floral wire, or tightly rolled yarn core if desired.

Handle

• Make a long white or cream stem using tight chains covered with slip stitches.
• Bend the end into a hook handle.
• Insert and secure into the umbrella cone.

Add a tiny tie band near the lower canopy if you want the closed umbrella to look more finished.

Folded Mini Cloth

This small square accent looks like a folded handkerchief or napkin. It sits in front of the bunny and has white as the main color with blue trim and a tiny blue dot detail.

1. In white, ch 11.
2. Rows 1-8: sc across, ch 1, turn.
3. Border: change to light blue and sc evenly around all four sides.
4. Add one extra round of white or light blue only on one side if you want the folded layered effect.
5. Fold into a small rectangle and tack one corner lightly so it keeps the folded display shape.
6. Embroider or crochet one tiny blue dot near the edge.

Frog Body

Work mostly in green. The frog is short, round, and cheerful, with a wide mouth and prominent eyes. It is dressed to coordinate with the bunny, so keep the proportions cute and compact.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: 6 sc, dec around. (21)
7. Round 10: sc around. (21)
8. Round 11: 5 sc, dec around. (18)

Stuff lightly. The frog should look slightly pear-shaped, not round like a ball.

1. Round 12: BLO sc around in light blue to begin the clothing edge. (18)
2. Round 13: sc around in light blue. (18)
3. Round 14: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
4. Round 15: change to white and sc around. (24)
5. Round 16: change to light blue and make a tiny shell or picot-like edge.

This creates the frog’s skirt-like lower outfit visible in the image.

Frog Head Top and Eyes

The frog’s head top remains green, and the eyes are raised. If you already built the full body as one piece, add the eye bumps separately.

Eye Bumps

1. Make 2 in green: 6 sc in MR, then 1 round sc around. (6)
2. Insert tiny black eyes or embroider black pupils.
3. Sew to the top corners of the head.

Mouth

Embroider a wide curved smile in dark green or black. Keep it gentle and slightly upward, matching the friendly face in the photo.

Frog Arms and Legs

Make 2 arms and 2 legs in green.

• Arms: 6 sc in MR, then sc around for 5 to 6 rounds. Flatten the top before sewing.
• Legs: 6 sc in MR, then expand to 8 or 10 stitches and work short tubes. Sew low on the body so the frog stands upright.

The frog’s right arm can be posed upward to hold the umbrella handle.

Frog Top Band

The frog wears a simple upper garment in light blue, creating the look of a matching tiny sweater. Wrap a narrow strip around the upper body and sew in place.

1. Ch a length that fits snugly around the frog’s upper body.
2. Work 2 to 3 rows of sc.
3. Wrap and seam the strip in place.

Frog Hat

Make a tiny light blue cap similar to the bunny’s bucket hat but much shallower.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-5: sc around. (18)
5. Round 6: BLO sc around. (18)
6. Round 7: slight increase to 21 if needed for a mini brim.
7. Round 8: sl st around.

Frog Umbrella

This is a tiny open umbrella in light blue with a white curved handle. It should be scaled to the frog, not the bunny.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: BLO sc around. (24)

📌Thank you for reading the article

To create the umbrella edge, work small pointed scallops or shallow peaks around the final round. Insert a firm stem with a hooked handle and secure into the center.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head securely to the neck first. Attach the ears slightly behind the eye line and low enough that they fall beside the face under the hat brim. Sew the arms at the upper sides of the torso with a gentle downward angle.

Embroider a tiny pink nose centered between and slightly below the eyes. Add a short vertical stitch beneath it. Keep the expression minimal. Dress the bunny with the purse, put the shoes on, and place the hat low over the forehead.

Assemble the frog by attaching eyes, limbs, outfit band, skirt edge, hat, and umbrella. Arrange the accessories beside the bunny exactly as shown for the finished display.

Care Notes

• Display indoors and keep away from heavy moisture.
• Do not hang the bunny by the purse strap or hat brim.
• If making this for a child, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.
• Store the umbrella pieces flat or upright so the handles do not bend out of shape.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and level on the neck
• Ears evenly placed and softly drooping
• Cloud motif centered on chest
• Skirt flaring evenly all the way around
• Hat sitting low with a smooth brim
• Purse strap crossing neatly from shoulder to hip
• Shoes matched and secured evenly
• Frog proportionally smaller than bunny and standing balanced
• Both umbrellas shaped neatly
• Mini cloth folded and trimmed cleanly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a soft cloth, cool water, and a very small amount of mild soap. Blot gently rather than rubbing, especially on the face embroidery, cloud appliqué, and skirt edging.

For deeper cleaning, hand wash only when necessary. Press out water with a towel and reshape every piece while damp. Dry flat away from direct sun. Do not machine wash, wring, or tumble dry.

To preserve the display quality, store in a dust-free container or on a shelf away from humidity. If needed, lightly steam from a distance to relax small bends in the hat brim or purse strap, but do not soak the stuffed sections.
