This heirloom-style amigurumi set is designed to closely match the pictured sample, with a soft bunny doll, a floral sunhat, a richly decorated dress, sandals, a market tote, a tiny paintbrush, a daisy bouquet, and a sweet owl companion. It has the look of a luxury handmade bunny doll and collectible nursery gift.
The finished set is ideal for makers who love detailed amigurumi, boutique crochet dolls, spring animal decor, and artisan stuffed toys. The layered embellishment gives it the charm of a premium handmade keepsake, the kind of piece shoppers often seek as a birthday gift, baby shower gift, or display doll.
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 is built around a standing bunny with a large round head, a slim torso, long drooping ears, straight tube arms, and softly shaped legs. The clothing and props create the story. The image shows a gentle garden-and-art theme, so each decorative element matters.
The bunny is worked in a fine gauge so the stitches look smooth, tight, and polished. Most structural pieces are crocheted with single crochet in continuous rounds. The detailed floral and scenic surfaces are added afterward with duplicate stitch, fine surface crochet, and tiny appliqued flowers.
The image shows cream yarn for the bunny, dusty pink and tan trims, blue and floral skirt panels, a cream hat with a floral inner brim, and a small brown owl in pastel clothing. Use lightweight yarn and a smaller-than-usual hook to keep the shapes crisp.
Finished Size
- Main bunny: about 11.5 to 12.5 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including hat.
- Hat diameter: about 5.25 inches across the brim.
- Owl friend: about 4 inches tall.
- Tote bag: about 2.25 inches tall.
- Paintbrush: about 2.5 inches long.
- Daisy bouquet: about 2 inches long.
Materials
- Sport or light DK cotton yarn in cream, warm beige, dusty rose, taupe, sky blue, soft aqua, leaf green, deep green, golden yellow, brown, soft pink, mauve, berry rose, and off-white.
- 2.0 mm crochet hook for the main work.
- 1.5 mm crochet hook for tiny flowers and props if needed.
- Black safety eyes, about 8 mm for the bunny.
- Small safety eyes, about 6 mm, and a yellow beak piece for the owl, or embroidery supplies if preferred.
- Fiberfill stuffing.
- Tapestry needle.
- Embroidery needle.
- Embroidery floss in matching floral shades for the decorative picture panels.
- Craft wire or pipe cleaner for bouquet stems if you want the flowers posed.
- Thin plastic canvas or cardstock for the tote bag base and book inserts.
Gauge and Fabric
Exact stitch gauge is less important than making a firm fabric. The body should not show stuffing through the stitches. The hat must hold its shallow dome and wide brim. The dress must sit close to the body and flare outward without collapsing.
If your stitches lean, keep leaning consistently. Decorative duplicate stitch looks best when the crochet fabric is even. If your finished bunny grows taller than the stated size, reduce hook size. If the pieces feel stiff and hard to shape, move up by 0.25 mm.
Abbreviations

Design Notes
- Work the bunny body and head as one piece for a smooth neck.
- Legs are made first, then joined to form the lower body.
- Arms are lightly stuffed only at the upper section so they hang softly.
- Ears are flattened and sewn to droop straight down from the hat line.
- The scenic panels on the skirt, hat lining, tote, and owl hat are added after crocheting.
- These decorative picture areas are best made with duplicate stitch over single crochet.

Main Bunny: Legs
Leg 1
- With cream, ch 7.
- Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, turn to opposite side, sc 4, inc in last st. You have 14 sts.
- Rnd 2: inc, sc 4, inc x3, sc 4, inc x2. You have 20 sts.
- Rnd 3: sc 1, inc, sc 4, rep 3 inc sections evenly around the toe, sc 4, finish with 1 inc. You have 26 sts.
This oval foot should be longer than it is wide. The image shows a narrow standing foot hidden inside sandals, so do not overbuild the toe. Keep the sole slightly flat by shaping it with your fingers while working the next rounds.
- Rnd 4: BLO sc around.
- Rnd 5: sc 8, dec, sc 2, dec, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 8. You have 22 sts.
- Rnd 6: sc 7, dec, sc 2, dec, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 7. You have 18 sts.
- Stuff the front of the foot lightly.
- Rnd 7: sc around.
- Rnd 8: sc 5, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 5, dec, sc 1. You have 15 sts.
- Rnd 9 to 18: sc around.
The lower leg on the sample is slim and almost straight. Add just enough stuffing to stop the leg from wrinkling. Do not make the calf bulky. Flatten the top and crochet 7 sc through both layers to close. Fasten off on Leg 1.
Leg 2
Make the second leg the same, but do not fasten off. After closing the top with 7 sc through both layers, continue with the joining round. Check that both feet point forward before you connect them.
Joining the Legs and Lower Body
- From Leg 2, ch 3 and join to Leg 1.
- Rnd 19: sc 7 across Leg 1, sc 3 across the connecting chain, sc 7 across Leg 2, sc 3 on opposite side of chain. You have 20 sts.
- Rnd 20: inc, sc 8, inc, sc 8, inc, sc 1. You have 23 sts.
- Rnd 21: sc around.
- Rnd 22: inc, sc 10, inc, sc 10, inc. You have 26 sts.
- Rnd 23 to 26: sc around.
The body in the image is narrow at the waist and softly rounded at the chest. Build the hips only slightly. The dress supplies the volume, not the body. Keep the stuffing smooth and centered so the doll stands balanced when supported.
- Rnd 27: sc 5, dec, sc 11, dec, sc 6. You have 24 sts.
- Rnd 28: sc around.
- Rnd 29: sc 4, dec, sc 10, dec, sc 6. You have 22 sts.
- Rnd 30: sc around.
- Rnd 31: sc 3, dec, sc 9, dec, sc 6. You have 20 sts.
- Rnd 32 to 34: sc around.
Chest, Neck, and Head
The neck is short and neat. The head is large, round, and softly full, with a slightly flattened face area. The sample has a calm expression, so do not overstuff the cheeks or pull the face shaping too tightly.
- Rnd 35: BLO sc around.
- Rnd 36: sc around.
- Rnd 37: inc every 4 sts. You have 25 sts.
- Rnd 38: sc around.
- Rnd 39: inc every 5 sts. You have 30 sts.
- Rnd 40: sc around.
- Rnd 41: inc every 5 sts. You have 35 sts.
- Rnd 42: sc around.
- Rnd 43: inc every 6 sts. You have 40 sts.
- Rnd 44: sc around.
- Rnd 45: inc every 7 sts. You have 45 sts.
- Rnd 46 to 54: sc around.
Insert the 8 mm safety eyes between Rnds 49 and 50 with about 8 visible stitches between them. The image shows eyes that are moderate in size, glossy, and placed low enough to keep the face youthful. Add stuffing before closing.
- Rnd 55: sc 6, dec, rep around. You have 39 sts.
- Rnd 56: sc around.
- Rnd 57: sc 5, dec, rep around. You have 33 sts.
- Rnd 58: sc around.
- Rnd 59: sc 4, dec, rep around. You have 27 sts.
- Rnd 60: sc 3, dec, rep around. You have 21 sts.
- Rnd 61: sc 2, dec, rep around. You have 15 sts.
- Rnd 62: dec around to close.

Face Shaping and Embroidery
Use soft beige or pale pink embroidery floss for the nose and mouth. Stitch a tiny horizontal nose centered two rounds below the eyes. Add a short vertical stitch down from the center, then make a small split mouth. Keep this delicate and short.
For the brows, use one curved stitch above each eye in taupe-brown. The brows in the image are very light and minimal. They sit high and subtle, creating a gentle, dreamy expression. A heavy brow line will change the whole mood, so keep them airy.
If you like, shade the cheeks very lightly with fabric-safe pastel. The sample shows a soft warmth on the muzzle rather than bright blush. A faint tint is enough.
Arms
- With cream, ch 2.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook.
- Rnd 2: inc around. You have 12 sts.
- Rnd 3 to 5: sc around.
- Rnd 6: dec, sc 4, dec, sc 4. You have 10 sts.
- Rnd 7 to 19: sc around.
The arms are long, slim, and slightly tapered. Stuff only the upper two-thirds lightly. Flatten the opening and close with 5 sc through both layers. Make two. Sew them at the body sides just below the neck shaping so they angle slightly downward.
Ears
- With cream, ch 2.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook.
- Rnd 2: inc around. You have 12 sts.
- Rnd 3: sc, inc, rep around. You have 18 sts.
- Rnd 4: sc 2, inc, rep around. You have 24 sts.
- Rnd 5 to 7: sc around.
- Rnd 8: sc 10, dec, sc 10, dec. You have 22 sts.
- Rnd 9 to 18: sc around.
- Rnd 19: sc 9, dec, sc 9, dec. You have 20 sts.
- Rnd 20 to 28: sc around.
Flatten the ear and continue in rows through both layers for 8 more rows of 10 sc, turning each row. This produces the long hanging section. Lightly steam or finger-shape. Sew each ear to the head under the hat line so they drop straight down along the cheeks.
Dress: Bodice Base
The dress has a fitted upper bodice with broad straps and a richly embroidered floral front. It sits high under the neckline and ends at the natural waist. The lower edge has a dusty rose band and a delicate cream scallop trim.
- With cream, ch 26.
- Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. You have 25 sts.
- Rows 2 to 6: ch 1, turn, sc across.
Wrap the strip around the bunny chest to check fit. It should be snug but not tight. Join the short ends behind the body. Leave openings at the top edges for arm placement as needed. Add two narrow shoulder straps by rejoining yarn at the front and back edges.
- For each strap, work 4 sc across for 6 rows.
- Sew straps in place.
Once the base fits, embroider the front. Use duplicate stitch and tiny straight stitches to create dense blue vines, pink flowers, yellow flower centers, green leaves, and small accent blooms. Keep the side and back much simpler than the front.
Bodice Decorative Layout
- Top border: one narrow line of dusty blue.
- Main field: clustered pink roses, tiny blue flowers, green stems, and a central floral spray.
- Lower border: a blue-and-green line with tiny blossom dots.
The visual effect should feel like a stitched floral yoke rather than scattered random flowers. Place the largest rose near center front, two smaller clusters beside it, and tiny filler blooms near the straps.
Waist Trim
Join dusty rose yarn to the lower bodice edge. Work one round of sc evenly around the waist. Join cream in the FLO of that round and create the pale scalloped trim that peeks just above the skirt.
- Cream trim round: sl st in first st, ch 1, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st. Repeat around.
The scallops should be small and neat, not dramatic. In the sample they form a dainty lace-like band, giving the dress a boutique finish.

Skirt Base
The skirt is full, structured, and divided visually into scenic panels. To create the shape, begin at the waist and increase gradually while marking front panel zones. The image suggests soft pleating, so work increases in lines that become subtle folds.
- Join dusty rose or beige to the BLO of the waist round under the bodice.
- Rnd 1: sc around, increasing evenly to 36 sts.
- Rnd 2: sc around.
- Rnd 3: inc every 5 sts. You have 42 sts.
- Rnd 4: sc around.
- Rnd 5: inc every 6 sts. You have 48 sts.
- Rnd 6: sc around.
- Rnd 7: inc every 7 sts. You have 54 sts.
- Rnd 8 to 12: sc around.
Switch to a pale blue field for the lower scenic portion if you want the printed look to stand out strongly. Another option is to keep the whole skirt cream and add every picture section in duplicate stitch. Both methods work well.
Hem Scallop
- Final round: sl st in first st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st. Repeat around in cream.
The hem scallops in the image are soft and rounded, framing the entire skirt. They are not lace-open. Keep them close and firm.
Skirt Panel Embroidery Map
This is the signature feature of the design. Divide the front and sides into vertical sections with fine beige lines using surface slip stitch or duplicate stitch. Between the lines, embroider scenic garden motifs in a tapestry-like style.
- Center front lower panel: a cottage or tiny house with blue sky and green ground.
- Left front panel: clustered flowers in pink and red with green foliage.
- Right front panel: floral and vase-like motifs with blue accents.
- Outer side panels: larger blooms with leafy framing.
- Waist area above panels: a floral border with tiny blossoms.
Use dusty blue, rose, mauve, leaf green, tan, and golden yellow. The picture areas should feel dense and framed, like miniature stitched artwork. Keep the back simpler than the front, but still include enough floral continuation so the skirt looks finished from every angle.
Flower Cluster at Shoulder
The bunny wears a dimensional floral corsage on one shoulder. This adds height, softness, and color balance with the skirt. Make three flowers, three leaves, and a tiny berry center cluster, then stitch them together.
Small Five-Petal Flower
- With pink or blue, ch 2.
- Round: 5 sc in second ch from hook. Join.
- In each st work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
Make one blue, one pink, and one deeper rose flower. Add yellow or darker pink knot stitches to the centers if desired.
Leaves
- With green, ch 6.
- Starting in second ch: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.
- Work the other side of the chain in reverse order.
Make at least three leaves. Stitch the finished cluster to the bunny’s right shoulder area so it sits partly on the bodice and partly over the upper skirt line, matching the image.
Sun Hat
The hat has a smooth cream crown and a wide brim that slopes gently downward. The underside of the brim is richly decorated with floral tapestry imagery, while the upper crown remains mostly plain. This contrast is essential to the look.
- With cream, ch 2.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook.
- Rnd 2: inc around. You have 12 sts.
- Rnd 3: sc, inc, rep around. You have 18 sts.
- Rnd 4: sc 2, inc, rep around. You have 24 sts.
- Rnd 5: sc 3, inc, rep around. You have 30 sts.
- Rnd 6: sc 4, inc, rep around. You have 36 sts.
- Rnd 7 to 10: sc around.
📌Thank you for reading the article
Try the crown over the bunny’s head. It should sit just above the eyes and rest comfortably over the ears without crushing them. Increase one extra round if needed for a looser fit.
- Rnd 11: BLO sc around.
- Rnd 12: sc 5, inc, rep around. You have 42 sts.
- Rnd 13: sc around.
- Rnd 14: sc 6, inc, rep around. You have 48 sts.
- Rnd 15: sc around.
- Rnd 16: sc 7, inc, rep around. You have 54 sts.
- Rnd 17: sc around.
- Rnd 18: sc 8, inc, rep around. You have 60 sts.
- Rnd 19: sc around.
If you want a firmer brim, add a hidden wire or crochet one extra round with a very tight tension. The brim edge may be finished with one round of reverse sc for a clean boutique edge.
Hat Decorative Underside
On the underside of the brim, embroider dense floral scenery in dusty blue, green, rose, and cream, leaving the upper side plain. The image shows this detail clearly when the brim tilts outward. Focus the motifs around the visible front half.
Sandals
The bunny wears open sandals with crossed straps and tiny pink flowers. The sole is cream, with tan or beige straps. The shoe should sit close to the foot and show the toes slightly, just like the sample.
Sole
- With cream, ch 7.
- Rnd 1: sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, sc 4 on opposite side, inc in last. You have 14 sts.
- Rnd 2: sc around with small increases at the toe and heel to reach 18 sts.
- Fasten off. Make two.
Straps
Join tan at one side of the sole. Chain across the foot diagonally, anchor, then work a second crossing strap in the opposite direction. Add a narrow ankle strap that wraps and fastens at the side with stitches.
For each sandal flower, use pink yarn and make a tiny five-petal flower like the shoulder flowers, but slightly smaller. Sew a yellow center. Attach one flower where the crossed straps meet.
Tote Bag
The tote is a small rectangular market bag with structured sides, a floral scenic panel, two handles, and visible book or sketchpad inserts. The bag in the image is upright and boxy, not slouchy, so use a stiff base insert.
Bag Base and Sides
- With beige-brown, ch 9.
- Rnd 1: sc around an oval to 18 sts.
- Rnd 2: BLO sc around.
- Rnd 3 to 8: sc around evenly to build straight walls.
Flatten the bag gently to identify front and back faces. On the front panel, embroider a floral scenic design with blue sky, flowers, and greenery. Keep the sides more minimal. The top edge may be finished with one round of reverse sc.
Handles
- Join yarn near the upper side seam.
- Ch 16, anchor 4 stitches away.
- Work back over the chain with sl st or sc.
- Repeat for the second handle.
Insert folded rectangles of cardstock wrapped with cream crochet or felt to resemble stacked books or a sketchbook. Sew a tiny button at one side if you want the same charming detail shown in the image.
Paintbrush Prop
This small detail completes the artistic story. Make a narrow brown handle, a silver ferrule, and a pale brush tip.
- With rust-brown, ch 9 and work 8 sl st back. Fasten off.
- Wrap a short section near one end with silver-gray thread or yarn for the ferrule.
- Add a tiny tassel of cream or tan fibers at the tip and trim into a flat brush shape.

Daisy Bouquet
The bouquet contains several white daisies with yellow centers and green wrapped stems. Keep the flowers small so they look proportional in the bunny’s hand or beside her feet.
Each Daisy
- With yellow, ch 2, work 5 sc in second ch from hook, join.
- With white, in each st work: sl st, ch 3, sl st.
Make 5 to 7 daisies. Sew them onto a wrapped green stem bundle. Add two tiny leaves near the base. Keep the bouquet rounded and short, not tall.
Owl Friend
The owl is squat, round, and slightly wider at the lower body. It has large eyes, a small yellow beak, brown wings, a pastel striped top, a pink skirt edge, a floral hat, and a tiny lavender book at one side.
Owl Body
- With brown, ch 2.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook.
- Rnd 2: inc around. You have 12 sts.
- Rnd 3: sc, inc, rep around. You have 18 sts.
- Rnd 4: sc 2, inc, rep around. You have 24 sts.
- Rnd 5 to 9: sc around.
Change colors for gentle body stripes across the chest area, using mint, pale pink, and cream for two or three rounds. Return to brown for the lower body and sides. Stuff firmly.
- Rnd 10: sc 2, dec, rep around. You have 18 sts.
- Rnd 11: sc around.
- Rnd 12: sc, dec, rep around. You have 12 sts.
- Rnd 13: dec around and close.
Eyes, Beak, Wings, and Feet
- Eyes: use two large white circles with black centers.
- Beak: a tiny yellow triangle or three satin stitches.
- Wings: make two flat ovals in brown and sew at the sides.
- Feet: add tiny yellow stitches or miniature three-toe pieces.
The eyes should dominate the face, as they do in the image. Place them close together and slightly high. Keep the beak tiny.
Owl Skirt
Join pink to the lower body front loops and work one round of small shell scallops. This gives the owl the sweet pink hem shown in the picture.
Owl Hat
Make a miniature sunhat the same way as the bunny hat, but stop when it fits the owl head. Add a floral embroidered band around the brim edge and sew one tiny pink flower to the side.
Owl Book
- With lavender, ch 7.
- Row 1: sc across for 6 sts.
- Rows 2 to 4: sc across.
- Fold around a tiny cardstock insert and seam the edge.
Sew the book against one wing so it looks tucked under the owl’s side.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
- Sew the arms evenly at the shoulder line.
- Sew ears high on the head so they fall beside the face.
- Dress the bunny before attaching the hat permanently, if you plan to tack the hat in place.
- Add the shoulder corsage after the dress is fully positioned.
- Embroider the nose, mouth, and soft brows last so the expression stays centered.
Place the hat so the brim tilts slightly downward and outward. This keeps the floral underside visible, which is one of the strongest visual details in the sample.
Care Notes
- Display indoors away from prolonged direct sunlight.
- Handle the embroidered scenic sections gently to avoid snagging.
- Keep small removable props away from very young children.
- If gifting, secure the hat and tiny accessories with light stitches.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Are both eyes level and evenly spaced?
- Do the ears hang at the same length?
- Does the dress sit flat at the waist?
- Are the scenic skirt panels balanced from left to right?
- Is the hat brim smooth and not wavy?
- Do the sandal flowers match in size and placement?
- Does the owl look proportional beside the bunny?
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Blot, never scrub. Reshape while drying. Do not machine wash because the embroidery, brim shaping, bag insert, bouquet stems, and tiny props may distort.
Store flat in acid-free tissue or display in a dust-free cabinet. To keep the piece looking crisp for years, avoid compressing the hat brim, shoulder flowers, and skirt edge scallops. Refresh the form occasionally by gentle finger-shaping.
