Azalea Breezebell Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi set features a soft cream bunny dressed in a dusty blue wrap dress with pink flower trims, a matching cloche hat, tiny shoes, and charming picnic accessories. It has the look of a handmade bunny doll, collectible crochet plush, and spring nursery decor piece that gift shoppers often search for.

The design also includes a small companion pup, a shoulder bag, two flower baskets, a bouquet, and a lace-style cloth accent. If you love artisan amigurumi, heirloom stuffed animals, cottagecore decor, and handmade toy patterns inspired by boutique crochet dolls, this project brings that polished shop-style finish into your own stitching.

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

Design Overview

This design is built to closely match the image: a standing long-eared bunny with a rounded head, short neck, narrow shoulders, slim arms, straight legs, and a softly flared skirt. The outfit is separate in key areas, but several trims are stitched directly onto the garment for the same layered visual effect.

The overall look depends on neat tension, compact stuffing, and careful placement. The bunny’s face is minimal and gentle, with glossy black eyes, a tiny pink nose, and a short vertical mouth line. The hat sits low on the forehead, and the flower sash crosses the torso diagonally and finishes in a tassel tie.

The companion animal is much smaller and styled to echo the bunny’s outfit. It has a tan body, oversized pointed ears, a white muzzle, black eyes, and a pale blue dress with pink trim and fringe. The baskets, bouquet, and little purse complete the story and make the finished display feel full and balanced.

Materials

• Main yarn, light DK or fine worsted cotton: cream, dusty blue, soft pink, warm tan, white, light beige, and a small amount of brown.

Finished Size

Using the yarn weight and hook sizes above, the bunny stands about 10 to 11 inches tall from foot to hat brim, with the companion measuring about 4 inches tall. The exact size will vary with tension, but keeping stitches dense is important so the figure holds the same clean, boutique-style silhouette.

General Notes

• Work in continuous rounds unless another instruction is given.
• Stuff firmly but smoothly. Avoid overstuffing the limbs so they stay slim.
• The doll’s proportions matter: large head, compact torso, straight legs, and long drooping ears.
• Flower trims should be small and frequent, not large or puffy.
• Before sewing, pin every part in place and compare the angle from the front view.

3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)

11. Rnd 11-20: sc around. (60)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Place the 8 mm eyes between Rnds 13 and 14 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The face in the image is calm and widely spaced, so do not place the eyes too close together. Lightly indent the eye area if you want a softer sculpted look.

1. Rnd 21: 8 sc, dec around. (54)
2. Rnd 22: 7 sc, dec around. (48)
3. Rnd 23: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
4. Rnd 24: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
5. Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec around. (30)

Begin stuffing firmly now. The head should be round, smooth, and slightly wider than it is tall. The lower face must remain softly full instead of sharply pointed, because the bunny in the image has a baby-like cheek shape.

1. Rnd 26: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
2. Rnd 27: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
3. Rnd 28: 1 sc, dec around. (12)

Do not fasten off if you want to join the neck directly to the body later with sewing. Otherwise, close the opening, weave in the end, and leave a long tail for assembly.

Facial Embroidery

Using pale pink yarn, stitch a tiny horizontal nose centered between the eyes, about one round lower than the eye line. Then add a short vertical stitch from the center of the nose downward. Keep it delicate. The face should remain minimalist, soft, and childlike.

Bunny Ears

Make 2 in Cream

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4-6: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 7: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
6. Rnd 8-18: sc around. (16)
7. Rnd 19: 3 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec, 3 sc. (14)
8. Rnd 20-28: sc around. (14)

Flatten each ear and lightly steam or finger-shape so it hangs softly rather than sticking straight out. The ears in the image are long, narrow, and gently drooping with rounded ends. Do not overstuff. In most cases, leaving them unstuffed gives the cleanest drape.

Sew the ears to the sides of the head just below the hat line, with the top of each ear attached over about 7 to 8 stitches. Angle them downward so they frame the cheeks and fall close to the body.

Bunny Body

Upper Body and Torso in Cream

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5-7: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 8: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
7. Rnd 9-12: sc around. (30)
8. Rnd 13: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
9. Rnd 14-18: sc around. (36)

The body is slim through the chest and only slightly fuller at the hips. Stuff lightly at the upper chest and more firmly in the lower section so the doll stands with a neat vertical shape under the dress. Do not make the belly round or bulky.

1. Rnd 19: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
2. Rnd 20-21: sc around. (30)
3. Rnd 22: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
4. Rnd 23: sc around. (24)

Leave a long tail if sewing to the head. The neck opening should remain centered and compact. If desired, insert a short wrapped wire or firm neck support before joining the head, but this is optional when the stuffing is dense enough.

Bunny Legs

Make 2 in Cream

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4-5: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
6. Rnd 7-15: sc around. (16)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the lower foot and ankle firmly, then reduce stuffing as you work up the leg. These legs are straight and cylindrical in the image, without thick thighs. Keep the shaping simple and tidy.

1. Rnd 16: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
2. Rnd 17-20: sc around. (14)

Fasten off first leg. Finish second leg but do not fasten off. Join the legs with 4 chains or by stitching together later, depending on your preferred method. Crochet across both to form a stable lower body if you like one-piece construction.

If assembling separately, pin both legs under the body so they stand parallel and slightly apart. The feet should point straight forward. The visible lower leg below the dress is short, giving the doll the same compact proportion shown in the image.

Bunny Arms

Make 2 in Cream

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
3. Rnd 3-5: sc around. (9)
4. Rnd 6: 2 sc, dec, 5 sc. (8)
5. Rnd 7-18: sc around. (8)

Stuff only the lower third of each arm. Flatten the top and sew closed. The arms in the image are slim, softly curved, and hang close to the body. Sew them slightly below the neck line, angled downward toward the skirt.

Bunny Hat

Cloche Hat in Dusty Blue

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc around. (54)
10. Rnd 10-18: sc around. (54)

Try the hat on the head. It should fit low, covering the forehead and sitting just above the eyes without hiding them. If needed, add or subtract one plain round based on your tension.

1. Rnd 19: BLO sc around. (54)
2. Rnd 20: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
3. Rnd 21: sc around. (60)
4. Rnd 22: 9 sc, inc around. (66)
5. Rnd 23: sc around. (66)

Finish with one relaxed slip stitch round if you want a slightly firmer edge. Shape the brim so it turns down softly, not flat like a sun hat. The profile in the image is rounded and modest, with a small downward bell shape.

Bunny Dress

Skirt Base in Dusty Blue

The dress appears as a wrap-style bodice with a smooth crochet skirt. To match the image well, make the skirt separately, then add the bodice panels and flower sash over the front. This creates the same layered diagonal line seen in the photo.

1. Rnd 1: Ch 36, join carefully without twisting.
2. Rnd 2-10: ch 1, sc around. (36)
3. Rnd 11: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
4. Rnd 12-16: sc around. (42)
5. Rnd 17: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
6. Rnd 18-19: sc around. (48)

The skirt should fit neatly over the hips and flare slightly toward the hem. It is not a very full skirt. The lines are smooth and horizontal, so keep your tension even and avoid ruffling in the main blue section.

Pink Lower Band and Openwork Edge

1. Change to soft pink.
2. Rnd 20: FLO sc around. (48)
3. Rnd 21: ch 1, 2 dc in first st, skip 1 st, 1 sc in next, skip 1 st, 2 dc in next; repeat around for a gentle scallop effect.
4. Rnd 22: sl st lightly around or fasten off.

📌Thank you for reading the article

This lower pink section should peek out beneath the fringe and create the layered hem visible in the image. Keep the lace effect subtle. It should look delicate and decorative rather than dramatic.

Bodice Panels in Dusty Blue

With the skirt positioned on the doll, mark the center front. The bodice forms a crossed V-neck. Work the panels flat in rows directly from the top edge or make separately and sew on. Direct attachment often gives a cleaner fit.

Right Front Panel

1. Attach yarn at back side edge. Ch 9.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. Turn. (8)
3. Row 2-6: sc across, dec at neckline edge each row once. Keep outer edge straight.

Left Front Panel

1. Repeat on opposite side, mirroring the decreases.

Cross the panels over the chest to form a neat V. Sew them at the waist and shoulders. The neckline should be modest and low enough to show the cream body beneath, matching the wrap-dress style shown in the image.

Shoulder Ruffle Trim in Pink

Attach pink yarn around each arm opening. Work small shell clusters or repeated (1 sc, 2 hdc, 1 sc) into spaced points around the sleeve edge. The ruffle in the image is short and soft, not wide. It frames the shoulders gently and supports the flower trim above.

Waist Tie

1. With dusty blue, ch 32.
2. Work sl st back along the chain for a round cord.
3. Sew or weave it into the right waist side so the tie ends hang naturally.

The right side tie is visible and helps sell the wrap effect. Keep the cord narrow. You may add a tiny flower cluster near the knot if you want to echo the image even more closely.

Flower Trim Elements

Small Five-Petal Blossom in Pink or White

1. In MR: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) five times.
2. Pull ring closed tightly and fasten off.

Make many blossoms in two tones: deeper pink, pale pink, and white. The flowers in the image are small, flat, and clustered. You will need enough to decorate the sash, neckline, hemline, shoes, purse, baskets, bouquet, and companion outfit.

Tiny Bud Knot

For extra texture, make a mini bud with 4 sc in MR, pull closed, and sew between blossoms. These tiny dots help the floral trims look denser without overwhelming the scale of the doll.

Diagonal Flower Sash

Base Strap

1. With dusty blue, ch 34.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (33)
3. Fasten off.

Test the length from the left shoulder to the right waist. The strip should lie flat across the chest and continue into the waist tie area. Sew the base in place before adding the flowers.

Flower Placement

Sew alternating pink and white blossoms along the full strap, letting some overlap slightly. Add one flower cluster at the left shoulder and another where the sash ends near the right waist. Leave small gaps so the blue strap still shows underneath, just like the image.

Tassel End

1. Cut 12 to 16 strands of pink yarn, each about 4 inches long.
2. Fold and attach at the lower end of the sash.
3. Trim evenly so the tassel falls just past the skirt waist area.

The tassel is soft and decorative rather than long and dramatic. Mix one or two blue strands into the pink if you want the same blended finish seen in the image.

Fringe Hem

The skirt hem has a line of blossoms above a fringe border. First sew a row of tiny blossoms around the lower blue area just above the pink openwork section. Then attach individual pink fringe strands below that row so the hem feels airy and playful.

1. Cut pink strands about 2 1/2 inches long.
2. Fold each strand and lark’s head knot into every 1 to 2 stitches around the lower edge line.
3. Trim evenly, but leave slight variation for a handmade finish.

The fringe should be light enough to move but full enough to be visible in photos. Do not overfill the entire hem. The flower line should remain visible above it.

Bunny Shoes

Make 2

Sole in Pink

1. Ch 7.
2. Rnd 1: sc in second ch from hook, sc 4, 3 sc in last ch; working opposite side, sc 4, 2 sc in final stitch. (14)
3. Rnd 2: inc, sc 4, inc 3 times, sc 4, inc 2 times. (20)

Upper in Dusty Blue

1. Rnd 3: BLO sc around. (20)
2. Rnd 4: sc around. (20)
3. Rnd 5: 6 sc, dec 4 times, 6 sc. (16)
4. Rnd 6: sc around. (16)

Sew or slip onto the feet. The shoes in the image cover most of the foot and have a rounded front. They sit low at the ankle and are finished with pink floral decorations rather than a thick strap.

Ankle Band

1. With pink, ch 14 for each ankle.
2. Wrap around the leg and secure with a few stitches.
3. Add one small blossom at the outer side of each shoe.

Shoulder Bag

Bag Body in Dusty Blue

1. Ch 10.
2. Rnd 1: sc in second ch from hook, sc 7, 3 sc in last ch, sc 7 on opposite side, 2 sc in last. (20)
3. Rnd 2-5: sc around. (20)
4. Flatten and seam the top closed partway, leaving an opening flap if desired.

Bag Flap and Strap

1. For flap, attach yarn to one side of top opening and work 6 rows of sc over half the stitches.
2. Round the flap corners with sl st or a short sc decrease row.
3. For strap, ch 52 to 60 and sl st back along the chain.

Sew small blossoms along the flap edge so the purse echoes the sash and shoe trims. The bag in the image is compact, soft-sided, and rests beside the main figure, so it does not need a rigid structure.

Large Flower Basket

Basket Base in Tan or Brown

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 5-8: sc around. (18)

Insert a small cardboard circle if you want the basket to sit flatter. The basket should be short and round, with visible flowers filling the top opening.

Handle

1. Ch 16.
2. Sl st back along the chain.
3. Sew each end to opposite sides of the basket.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Basket Flowers

Make 6 to 8 tiny blossoms in pink and white. Stuff the inside of the basket lightly or fill it with scrap yarn, then sew the flowers close together at the top so they appear tucked inside rather than standing on long stems.

Lace-Style Cloth Accent

This small cream piece lies on the table beside the bunny. It reads visually like a handkerchief or lace mat. Make a simple miniature square in cream thread or fine cotton.

1. Ch 12.
2. Row 1-8: sc across, turning each row.
3. Border: ch 3, sl st into edge, ch 3, sl st into next edge stitch around.

If desired, stitch a tiny pink flower or center knot in one corner. Keep it understated. Its purpose is to complete the display styling.

Flower Bouquet

The bouquet is small, hand-held, and made of several pink blossoms grouped together. It lies in front of the bunny and does not need to be oversized. Use floral wire, pipe cleaners, or tightly twisted yarn cords as stems.

1. Make 5 small blossoms in mixed pink shades.
2. Attach each to a short stem.
3. Wrap stem bases together with green or beige yarn.
4. Add one tiny bow or wrap knot near the bottom.

Companion Pup

The companion appears as a tiny tan pup with large pointed ears, a white muzzle, and a matching blue dress. Its proportions are simple: a rounded head, narrow body, short arms, short legs, and upright ears that are much larger relative to the head than the bunny’s ears.

Head in Tan

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rnd 6-10: sc around. (30)

Insert 5 mm eyes between Rnds 7 and 8. They should sit fairly wide, leaving room for the muzzle. Stuff the head firmly but not hard.

1. Rnd 11: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
2. Rnd 12: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
3. Rnd 13: 1 sc, dec around. (12)

Muzzle in White

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

Sew the muzzle low on the face. Embroider a small black nose and a short mouth line. The muzzle should be petite and neat, not broad.

Ears in Tan, Make 2

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

Flatten and lightly pinch the base while sewing. The ears should point upward and outward. Add a tiny inner ear triangle in pale pink if desired, stitched or crocheted very lightly.

Body in Tan

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4-8: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 9: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
6. Rnd 10-12: sc around. (12)

Stuff lightly. This body is small and mostly hidden by the outfit. Keep it narrow and upright.

Arms and Legs

Make 2 arms and 2 legs as tiny tubes.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2-6 for arms: sc around. (6)
3. Rnd 2-7 for legs: sc around. (6)

Stuff very lightly or leave unstuffed except at the tips. Sew arms at upper sides and legs under the body so the pup stands or leans in a stable sitting pose.

Companion Outfit

Mini Dress in Dusty Blue

1. Ch 18, join.
2. Rnd 1-4: sc around. (18)
3. Rnd 5: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
4. Rnd 6-7: sc around. (24)

Add a tiny wrap front by sewing a small diagonal blue strip across the chest. Then stitch three or four mini blossoms along that diagonal line. Finish the hem with a short pink fringe border, just like the main bunny’s dress but scaled down.

Mini Basket

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

Add a short handle and place two or three tiny blossoms inside. Sew it near the companion’s hand or display it beside the figure.

Assembly Order

1. Sew bunny head to body.
2. Attach ears at a soft downward angle.
3. Sew arms to sides and legs under body.
4. Dress the bunny with skirt and bodice.
5. Add shoulder ruffles, waist tie, sash, flowers, and tassel.
6. Sew on shoes and ankle bands.
7. Shape and position hat.
8. Assemble companion pup and dress it.
9. Place accessories for display.

Placement Guide for Accuracy

Head to body: The head should sit straight with very little visible neck. The chin nearly meets the neckline of the dress.

Arms: Attach low enough that the shoulder ruffle remains visible above them. The hands should fall to about the top third of the skirt.

Ears: Place them slightly behind the eye line, not directly above the eyes. They should fall along the sides of the face.

Sash: Start near the left shoulder and cross to the right waist. The tassel should hang from that lower right end.

Flowers: Cluster them, do not space them in a stiff geometric line. The look should be organic and sweet.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

After all sewing is finished, check the front view first. The bunny should look symmetrical, with both eyes level, ears hanging evenly, and the dress centered beneath the face. Add or adjust stuffing through small openings before closing them completely if the cheeks, neck, or lower body need better support.

Revisit the nose embroidery and keep it tiny. A large nose will change the personality of the doll too much. If you want a softer expression, gently pull an eye-indenting thread from the back of the head to sink the eyes just slightly, then secure firmly.

Shape the hat brim downward with your fingers. Trim the fringe evenly. Fluff the tassel and flower clusters so they look full in photos. Arrange the companion, purse, bouquet, basket, and cloth around the doll only after all yarn tails are fully woven in.

Care Notes

• Display indoors and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Spot clean whenever possible instead of soaking the full doll.
• Store the hat and accessories together so the set remains complete.
• Do not pull on fringe, flower petals, or the purse strap.
• If making this for a child, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and firmly attached
• Eyes level and evenly spaced
• Ears matching in height and angle
• Dress sitting smoothly with neat V-neck
• Flower sash crossing from left shoulder to right waist
• Pink tassel attached at sash end
• Fringe trimmed evenly around skirt hem
• Shoes fitted securely with flower accents
• Hat shaped into a soft cloche silhouette
• Companion and accessories fully finished

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For dust, use a clean dry makeup brush or a cool hair dryer on the lowest setting. For a small mark, dab gently with water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then blot with a towel. Avoid scrubbing, especially on flowers, fringe, and embroidered facial details.

If the item becomes misshapen, reshape it by hand while slightly damp and let it dry naturally. Do not machine wash, do not twist, and do not hang by the hat, ears, or purse strap. For long-term storage, wrap the doll in acid-free tissue and keep it in a breathable box.

To preserve color, keep dark and bright items away from direct contact if they are newly dyed. If accessories contain wire, make sure they stay dry. Check baskets, tassels, and blossoms occasionally so loose threads can be secured before they become noticeable.
