Finished Size

Using the yarn and hook above, the bunny measures about 10.5 to 11.5 inches tall from the bottom of the feet to the top of the beret. The ears fall below the shoulders. The tiny bear measures about 4.5 to 5 inches tall. The suitcase is about 3 inches wide.

Design Notes

This set is built to match the image closely. The bunny has a rounded head, a narrow neck, a soft pear-shaped body, slim arms, medium-thick straight legs, long drooping ears, and a full flower-front dress with six petal panels.

The beret sits low and slightly angled to the bunny’s right side. A layered dahlia is attached where the hat band crosses the forehead. The dress includes a fitted bodice, narrow straps, a waistband, and six pointed granny-style petal panels that flare outward like a flower skirt.

The shoes are simple Mary Jane style flats with a strap and large side blossoms. The suitcase is softly rectangular with floral embroidery. The tiny companion uses the same petal-skirt idea in a simplified scale and carries a tiny basket bag.

Tension and General Construction

Work in tight, even stitches so the stuffing does not show. The fabric in the image looks firm, smooth, and neatly shaped, so keep your tension slightly tight. Mark the first stitch of each round and count often.

• Head, body, arms, legs, ears, hat, and bear are worked mostly in continuous rounds.
• Dress panels are made separately, then joined to a waistband.
• Large flowers are layered and sewn on for dimension.
• Stuff firmly but not hard. The silhouette should remain soft and elegant.

8. Rnd 8: sc, inc around to 16 sts evenly. (16)
9. Rnd 9-20: sc around. (16 each round)

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg lightly to medium. Flatten the top opening slightly so the leg faces forward. Fasten off the first leg. Finish the second leg but do not cut yarn.

Joining Legs and Lower Body

1. Ch 4 from the second leg and join to the first leg.
2. Rnd 21: sc around first leg, sc in 4 ch, sc around second leg, sc in other side of 4 ch. (40)

9. Rnd 28: sc around. (30)
10. Rnd 29: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
11. Rnd 30: sc around. (24)

7. Rnd 39: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
8. Rnd 40: sc around. (18)

Stuff the chest gently. Do not overfill the neckline area. The neck in the image is slim and neat, not bulky.

Head

Continue from the body in cream yarn.

1. Rnd 41: inc around. (36)
2. Rnd 42: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
3. Rnd 43: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
4. Rnd 44: 7 sc, inc around. (54)

12. Rnd 60: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
13. Rnd 61: sc, dec around. (12)
14. Rnd 62: dec around. (6)

Stuff the head very firmly before closing. Shape the cheeks with your fingers so the face stays round and smooth. Fasten off and close the opening.

Face Shaping and Embroidery

Using pale blush yarn, lightly shade the cheek area with a few tiny horizontal stitches under each eye. Keep this very soft. The image shows a gentle blush, not a heavy cheek circle.

Using a pale peach or dusty pink thread, embroider a tiny triangular nose centered between the eyes, about two rounds below the eye line. Add a short vertical line downward and a tiny split mouth. Keep the face minimal and sweet.

13. Rnd 26-32: sc around. (16 each round)
14. Rnd 33: flatten and sc through both sides across 7 stitches.

Change to rose pink for the band.

1. Rnd 22-24: sc around. (42 each round)
2. Rnd 25: sl st around loosely.

The beret should be slightly puffy and wider than the head, then draw in at the band. Place it low across the forehead and tilt it to the bunny’s right. Sew it down securely at the back and sides but leave the top soft.

Large Layered Dahlia for Hat and Dress

Center Layer

With dusty mauve:

1. Ch 26.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, sc across. (25)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, in each st work sl st, hdc, dc, hdc, sl st in a repeating petal rhythm across the row, adjusting naturally so you get rounded petals.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off, roll tightly from one end, and stitch the base. This forms the deepest inner bloom.

Middle Layer

With rose pink:

1. Ch 34.
2. Row 1: sc across. (33)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, work repeated petals using sl st, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sl st.

Ruffle the strip gently as you roll it. Sew around the first layer.

Outer Layer

With pale blush or ivory:

1. Ch 42.
2. Row 1: sc across. (41)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, work repeated petals using sl st, hdc, dc, tr, tr, dc, hdc, sl st.

Wrap around the middle layer. Stitch firmly. Add a small yellow knot center if desired, especially for the dress flower where the image shows a warm center. Make 2 large flowers total.

• 1 for the beret
• 1 for the front waist of the dress

Dress

Bodice

With rose pink yarn, work from the waist upward first so the fit stays snug.

1. Ch 31.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (30)
3. Rows 2-5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (30)

Join into a ring around the bunny’s waist after checking fit. Sew or sl st the short ends together.

Now work upward from the top edge.

1. Rnd 1: sc evenly around. (30)
2. Rnd 2: sc around. (30)
3. Rnd 3: 6 sc, dec, 13 sc, dec, 7 sc. (28)
4. Rnd 4: sc around. (28)
5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, dec, 12 sc, dec, 7 sc. (26)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (26)

Fasten off. The bodice should sit close to the body and end just below the underarm.

Straps Make 2

With rose pink yarn:

1. Ch 16.
2. Starting in second ch from hook, sl st back along chain. (15)

Sew each strap to the front and back of the bodice. Place them wide enough to frame the chest flower, but still inside the shoulders. In the image the straps are slim and delicate.

Waist Join Round for Skirt Panels

At the lower edge of the bodice ring, join pale blush yarn and work one even round of sc. Count and adjust to 36 stitches total. This allows six skirt panels with six-stitch spacing.

Petal Panels Make 6

Each panel is a pentagon-like flower motif with a pointed bottom and a tiny floral center look. To keep the style close to the image, use pale blush as the main color and rose pink as the outer edge.

Panel center

1. Rnd 1: With pale blush, 12 dc in MR, join. (12)
2. Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, join. (24)
3. Rnd 3: switch to slightly lighter blush if desired. Work 1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st around. (32)

Shape into petal pentagon

1. Rnd 4: sl st into corner position. *ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in one st for corner, then 5 hdc across side*; rep 4 more times, join.
2. Rnd 5: With rose pink, sc evenly around, placing 3 sc in each ch-2 corner space and one extra sc at the lower point so the panel forms a soft tip.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Block lightly so every panel has a neat pointed lower edge. Sew the six panels side by side to the waistband, leaving a tiny gap between points if needed. The skirt should flare but still look tidy rather than wide and frilly.

Dress Flower Placement

Sew one large layered dahlia directly at the center front waist, overlapping the top of the skirt panels and the bodice. This flower is large and eye-catching in the image, so let it cover a generous portion of the midsection.

Shoes Make 2

With peach-beige yarn:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: in BLO, sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (14)
7. Rnd 7: 10 sc, ch 4 for strap, skip 2 sts, join with sc, 2 sc. (14 plus strap)
8. Rnd 8: sl st around top edge and along strap neatly.

Sew the shoes directly onto the feet or keep them removable if your fit is snug. Add a tiny flower to the outer side of each shoe.

Shoe Flowers Make 2

• With rose pink, make 5-petal flowers:
  • MR, *ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st* five times.
• With pale blush, make a second slightly smaller flower in the same way.
• Layer them and add two green leaves.

Sew one layered flower cluster to the outer side of each shoe, close to the strap. This detail matters because the image shows the blossoms sitting clearly on the sides, not centered on top.

Suitcase

Base Rectangle

With pale blush yarn:

1. Ch 15.
2. Rnd 1: sc in second ch from hook and next 12, 3 sc in last ch, rotate, sc 12 on other side, 2 sc in first ch. (30)
3. Rnd 2: inc, 12 sc, 3 inc, 12 sc, 2 inc. (36)
4. Rnd 3-6: sc around. (36 each round)

Fasten off. Make a second matching rectangle for the opposite side.

Connecting Gusset

With peach-beige or pale blush, ch long enough to wrap around three sides of the rectangle. Work 4 rows of sc to create a strip. Sew the strip between the two rectangles, leaving the top edge open as a lid line.

For a firmer suitcase, slide in thin cardboard or plastic canvas pieces before closing. Keep the shape softly rounded at the corners.

Lid Detail

Work a surface round of rose pink or peach-beige along the front upper edge to suggest the lid. Add a tiny central clasp using a few embroidery stitches or a small crocheted spiral.

Handle

With brown yarn:

1. Ch 18.
2. Starting in second ch from hook, sl st across. (17)

Sew both ends to the top of the suitcase in a curved arch. The handle in the image is rounded and slightly firm.

Suitcase Flowers and Embroidery

Add tiny rose clusters in pink tones to the front. Use French knots or small spiral flowers. Stitch green stems and leaves around them. Keep the distribution balanced, with floral detail concentrated mostly on the lower front corners and center area.

Loose Flower Embellishments

The image shows extra layered flowers placed beside the bunny. These can be made exactly like the large dahlia but in smaller strip lengths.

• Small flower 1:
  • inner strip ch 18
  • middle strip ch 24
  • outer strip ch 30
• Small flower 2:
  • inner strip ch 16
  • middle strip ch 22
  • outer strip ch 28

Flatten slightly and sew to the head.

Arms Make 2

Work 6 sc in MR, increase to 10, then work 7 rounds even. Flatten and sew to the sides.

Bear Dress

With rose pink, make a narrow bodice band that fits the torso. Add three tiny pale blush petal panels to the front and sides only, so the look echoes the bunny’s skirt without becoming bulky. Keep the skirt short.

Bear Beret

Make a miniature beret exactly like the bunny’s but stop at 30 stitches before shaping back down. Add a small rose pink band and sew it tilted.

Bear Basket Bag

With pale blush yarn:

1. Base: 6 sc in MR, inc to 12, one round even.
2. Sides: 2 rounds sc.
3. Handle: ch 10, sl st back, attach across top.

3. Rnd 2: *ch 5, skip 1 st, sc in next* around.
4. Rnd 3: Into each loop work 5 dc shell.
5. Rnd 4: Shape into a square by placing ch-3 corners at four points and filling sides with dc groups.
6. Rnd 5-6: Add open mesh and small picot-like points if desired using ch spaces and sc.

Block firmly so the square lies flat and displays the delicate openwork seen in the image.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

• Sew the arms first, then ears, then place the beret.
• Attach the large hat flower at the bunny’s right side, partly over the band.
• Fit the bodice snugly and sew the straps in place.
• Join the six skirt panels evenly so the front center panel sits directly below the flower.
• Sew the shoes neatly to keep the bunny standing balanced.
• Add the tiny blush cheeks last so you can judge the face after the hat is on.
• Check that the eyes, nose, and mouth stay centered under the beret line.

Care Notes

• Display items are best kept away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Handle layered flowers gently so the petals stay crisp.
• If the set is used as decor rather than a toy, you can add extra embroidery and firmer suitcase inserts.
• Store flat or upright in a dust-free space.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Beret tilted to the bunny’s right side
• Long ears hanging evenly
• Large flower centered on the dress front
• Six skirt panels attached and flaring evenly
• Flowers on both shoes
• Suitcase embroidered and handle attached
• Mini bear dressed and holding the tiny bag
• Face soft, symmetrical, and lightly blushed

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not scrub the embroidered flowers or layered petals. Reshape while damp and let dry fully away from heat. For long-term storage, wrap in clean tissue and keep in a dry box to protect the yarn texture and color balance.
