Bluebell Meadowsong Bunny – Crochet

This sweet crochet bunny set brings together the look of a collectible handmade doll, a spring rabbit plush, and a boutique nursery keepsake. With the wide-brim hat, bluebell trim, tiny flower purse, and matching mini bunny, it has the charm many shoppers look for in an heirloom amigurumi gift or artisan toy.

The full set is designed to feel like a display-ready handmade crochet doll with coordinated accessories, similar to premium stuffed rabbit decor, baby shower gift ideas, and cottagecore bunny collectibles. The finished pieces are detailed but beginner-friendly in construction when worked slowly, with careful shaping and neat assembly.

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 pattern creates the full scene shown in the image:

• A large bunny doll with long floppy ears
• A blue dress with a fitted bodice, waist tie, and dangling bluebell trim at the neckline and hem
• A wide-brim blue hat with hanging bluebell sprays
• Strappy sandals with tiny bluebell decorations
• A crossbody flower purse
• A small matching bunny wearing a hat and skirt
• A tiny bouquet of blue flowers
• A folded handkerchief with a simple blue floral motif

Important design note: The look of this set depends on fine yarn, even tension, compact stuffing, and careful placement. Keep stitches tight so the fabric stays smooth and polished.

Materials

• Light fingering or fine sport-weight cotton yarn in:
  • Warm cream for the bunny body
  • Dusty sky blue for the dress, hat, sandals, and flowers
  • Leaf green for stems and vine details
  • Tan or light caramel for the purse
  • Pink, rose, yellow, lilac, and coral scraps for purse flowers and mini bunny skirt flowers
  • White or pale ivory scrap for the handkerchief
  • Soft peach or blush scrap for the nose and light cheek tint if desired
• 2.0 mm crochet hook for the large bunny and accessories
• 1.75 mm crochet hook for the smallest embellishments if desired
• Black safety eyes or embroidered eyes:
  • 8 mm for the large bunny
  • 5 mm for the small bunny
• Polyester fiberfill
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Fine florist wire or craft wire for bouquet stems only if you want a firmer bouquet
• Fabric glue optional for securing the tiniest flowers
• Thin cardboard circle optional to support the large hat brim

Finished Size

• Large bunny: about 11.5 to 13 inches tall, including hat
• Small bunny: about 4.5 to 5.5 inches tall, including hat
• Bouquet: about 2.5 inches long
• Purse: about 1.5 inches tall
• Handkerchief: about 2 inches square before folding

Gauge and Fabric Feel

Exact gauge is less important than producing a firm amigurumi fabric with no visible stuffing. If your stitches look open, go down a hook size. If your shaping becomes too stiff to work cleanly, go up slightly.

Target feel: smooth, compact, tidy rounds with gentle shaping. The large bunny in the image has a softly rounded head and body, not a rigid geometric shape.

Color Planning

The image has a soft, balanced palette. Use cream as the dominant body color and dusty blue as the dominant clothing color. Keep the green trim light and fresh. The accent flowers should stay tiny and delicate so they do not overpower the bluebell theme.

Large Bunny

Head

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc x 6. (48)
9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc x 6. (54)
10. Rnd 10: 8 sc, inc x 6. (60)
11. Rnd 11-22: Sc around. (60)

Place the 8 mm eyes between Rnds 15 and 16, about 10 stitches apart. The face in the image is gentle and slightly wide-set, so avoid placing the eyes too close.

Embroider a small horizontal nose in pale peach between Rnds 17 and 18, centered. Add a short vertical stitch down from the nose and two tiny angled mouth stitches if desired. The eyebrows are short, soft curves placed high enough to create a calm expression.

1. Rnd 23: 8 sc, dec x 6. (54)
2. Rnd 24: 7 sc, dec x 6. (48)
3. Rnd 25: 6 sc, dec x 6. (42)
4. Rnd 26: 5 sc, dec x 6. (36)

Stuff firmly and evenly, especially the cheeks and crown. The head should look round with a slightly flattened lower face where it joins the neck.

1. Rnd 27: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
2. Rnd 28: 3 sc, dec x 6. (24)

Do not close yet if you prefer to attach the neck directly. The head needs a stable lower opening for a neat join.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, soft, and gently flattened. They hang from the sides of the head and reach below the shoulders.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4-8: Sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 9: 7 sc, dec, 9 sc. (17)
6. Rnd 10-13: Sc around. (17)
7. Rnd 14: 6 sc, dec, 9 sc. (16)
8. Rnd 15-18: Sc around. (16)
9. Rnd 19: 5 sc, dec, 9 sc. (15)
10. Rnd 20-32: Sc around. (15)

Flatten the top opening. Do not stuff, or add only a trace amount at the ear base. Sew the ears to the head around Rnds 9 to 12, slightly behind the eye line so they fall beside the cheeks as shown.

Body

The body is slim through the chest with a modest belly and seated lower shape under the dress. It should not look too wide.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
7. Rnd 7-10: Sc around. (36)
8. Rnd 11: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
9. Rnd 12-15: Sc around. (30)
10. Rnd 16: 3 sc, dec x 6. (24)
11. Rnd 17-19: Sc around. (24)
12. Rnd 20: 2 sc, inc x 8. (32)
13. Rnd 21-24: Sc around. (32)

Stuff firmly, shaping a straight upper torso and slightly rounded lower body. Add extra stuffing at the base so the doll stands with support from the legs and shoes.

1. Rnd 25: 3 sc, dec x 6, 2 sc. (26)
2. Rnd 26: Sc around. (26)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail to join to the head. If desired, add a short neck cylinder before attaching the head by working 12 to 14 stitches in a small tube. This helps support the head.

Arms Make 2

The arms are simple, slender tubes with a soft taper. They hang straight down and reach to mid-thigh.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-4: Sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 5: 4 sc, dec, 6 sc. (11)
5. Rnd 6-18: Sc around. (11)

Stuff lightly in the lower half only. Flatten the top and sew to the body just under the neckline, angled slightly inward so the arms rest close to the dress.

Legs Make 2

The legs are moderate in thickness and slightly longer than the arms. Since sandals are added later, keep the ankles firm but not bulky.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4-5: Sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 12 sc. (17)
6. Rnd 7-18: Sc around. (17)

Stuff firmly. Sew the legs to the lower body so they sit close together, straight downward, with just enough spacing for the dress hem to fall naturally between them. The feet in the image point forward, not outward.

Large Bunny Dress

Bodice

The bodice is fitted and sleeveless, with decorative bluebell clusters draped around the neckline. Work directly onto the body if you prefer a permanent outfit, or make it as a separate piece and sew it on.

1. Using dusty blue, chain a length that fits around the upper chest comfortably. Join without twisting, or work in joined rounds around the torso.
2. Work 5 to 6 rounds of sc or hdc for a snug bodice.
3. At the top edge, work one neat finishing round of sc.

The image shows very small shoulder coverage created by the decorative trim rather than full sleeves. Keep the bodice plain and clean so the neckline embellishment stands out.

Skirt

1. From the lower bodice edge, work 1 round in FLO to define the waistline.
2. Work 10 to 12 rounds of sc for a straight skirt shape.
3. Add 1 slightly wider round near the bottom by placing 1 increase every 8 to 10 stitches.
4. Work 1 final round even.

The skirt in the image is mostly straight, not flared dramatically. The interest comes from the dangling bluebell border at the hem.

Waist Tie

Chain a long blue cord, approximately enough to wrap around the waist and tie lightly at the side. Slip stitch back along the chain for a firmer cord. Sew or tack in place around the waist.

Add two tiny dangling bluebells at one end, matching the image.

Bluebell Neckline Trim

This trim creates the most recognizable feature of the large bunny outfit. It looks like a green vine with several hanging blue bells arranged around the front neckline and shoulders.

Vine Base

1. In green, chain enough to arc from one shoulder front, across the chest neckline, to the other shoulder front.
2. Slip stitch back or work 1 row of sc into the chain.
3. Make small leaf nubs by chaining 3, slip stitching back, then continuing along the vine in a few places.

Bluebell Flowers

Make 10 to 14 small bell flowers for the large neckline and dress hem accents combined.

1. In blue, ch 4 and join to form a ring.
2. Into the ring work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
3. Rotate the piece and lightly cup it with your fingers.
4. For a fuller bell, work a second tiny layer by joining yarn at the edge and adding 3 small picot-like points with ch 2, sl st.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Make a short green stem for each bell using 4 to 6 chains, slip stitching back. Sew the bells to the vine so they hang downward in clusters. Attach the finished vine to the dress neckline.

Placement tip: The image shows the trim draping from shoulder to shoulder with several bells hanging at slightly different lengths. Avoid placing them in one stiff straight line.

Dress Hem Bluebells

Repeat the same bell motif around the skirt hem. Make about 8 to 10 hanging bells, evenly spaced but with a natural drop. Sew them beneath the hemline so they appear suspended from the dress edge.

Sandals Make 2

The sandals are open-toe, with blue straps crossing the foot and tiny bluebell details near the ankle area.

Sole

1. In cream or blue, chain 7.
2. Work an oval around the chain:
   • 1 sc in second ch from hook, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch
   • Work on opposite side: 4 sc, 2 sc in last st
3. Continue 1 or 2 more rounds increasing at both ends to fit the foot.

Upper Straps

• Join blue yarn at one side of the sole.
• Ch 8 to 10, anchor across the toe.
• Repeat for a second strap crossing the foot.
• Work an ankle strap by chaining around the ankle and fastening at the side.

Make tiny bluebell decorations with very short stems and sew them at the front ankle strap intersection. The shoes in the image are delicate, so keep all straps narrow.

Wide-Brim Hat

The hat has a rounded crown and a soft but generous brim. It sits low enough to frame the face and overlap the top of the ears.

Crown Top

1. In blue, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Increase evenly each round to 48 or 54 stitches, depending on your head size.
3. When the top circle matches the width of the head crown, stop increasing.

Crown Sides

1. Work 6 to 8 rounds even.
2. Test fit often. The crown should sit neatly over the head without squeezing it.

Brim

1. Begin increasing gently: 1 increase every 6 to 8 stitches for the first brim round.
2. Work 4 to 6 more rounds, increasing slightly every second round to maintain a smooth flare.
3. Finish with 1 plain round for a clean edge.

The brim should turn outward and down softly, not stand flat like a rigid sunhat. If the brim flops too much, insert a hidden cardboard ring between two rounds or lightly starch it.

Hanging Bluebell Sprays for Hat

Make 4 to 6 small sprays. Each spray has a green stem with two or three tiny bluebell blossoms. Sew them under the brim edge at both sides and slightly toward the back, matching the image.

• For each spray, chain 8 to 12 in green
• Add 2 or 3 short branch stems
• Sew tiny blue bell flowers to the tips

These sprays should dangle lightly at face level. Keep them small enough to look elegant.

Crossbody Flower Purse

The purse is a small tan basket-style pouch with a long strap and a cluster of colorful flowers peeking out from the top.

Purse Body

1. In tan, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 18 stitches over 3 rounds.
3. Work 4 to 5 rounds even for a rounded cup shape.
4. Flatten the top slightly so the opening looks natural.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Strap

Chain a long strap in tan, long enough to sit from one shoulder to the opposite hip. Slip stitch back along the chain for strength. Sew both ends to the purse.

Mini Flowers for Purse

Make 6 to 8 tiny flowers in assorted colors. Each flower can be made with:

• MR, 5 petals of: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st

Make a few green leaves with ch 4, sl st back. Arrange the flowers tightly inside and around the purse opening so it looks full and cheerful.

Bouquet of Blue Flowers

The bouquet placed on the table includes several small blue blossoms with green stems tied together.

Flower Make 4 to 6

1. In blue, 5 sc in MR.
2. Change to petal shaping by working into each stitch:
   • sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st
3. Repeat around to form 5 petals.

For a simpler tiny flower, make 4 petals instead. Add a French knot or one contrasting stitch at the center if desired.

Stems

Use green yarn to chain and slip stitch back for each stem, or wrap yarn over fine wire. Gather the stems and tie with matching yarn. Angle the blossoms slightly outward like a hand-tied mini bouquet.

Handkerchief

The handkerchief is a small white square with a fine blue border and a simple stitched blue floral motif.

Square

1. In white or pale ivory, chain 11.
2. Row 1: Sc across.
3. Rows 2-10: Ch 1, turn, sc across.

Change to blue and work 1 neat round of sc around the square, placing 3 sc in each corner.

Embroidered Floral Motif

Using blue yarn, embroider a small stem with two or three drooping bells and a little green stem if desired. Fold the handkerchief neatly once or twice to resemble the image.

Small Matching Bunny

The smaller bunny mirrors the large one but in a simpler form. It has a blue hat, cream body, blue top, and a skirt decorated with pastel flowers.

Head

1. In cream, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase evenly to 36 stitches over several rounds.
3. Work 6 to 8 rounds even.
4. Insert 5 mm eyes between the middle rounds, about 6 stitches apart.
5. Embroider a tiny peach nose and small mouth.
6. Decrease gradually and stuff firmly.

Ears Make 2

1. In cream, start with 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12 stitches.
3. Work 12 to 16 rounds even.

Leave unstuffed and sew near the upper sides of the head.

Body

1. In blue for the upper torso, begin with 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to about 24 stitches.
3. Work 3 to 4 rounds even for the top.
4. For the lower body or under-skirt support, either continue in cream or blue depending on your preferred construction.

The mini bunny appears to wear a short blue top with small sleeves or cap-like shoulder shaping. To create this, add a tiny round of hdc or sc at the shoulder edge.

Skirt with Floral Garland

1. At the waist, switch to blue and work a slightly flared skirt with 4 to 5 rounds.
2. At the hem, add a short fringe or hanging pointed trim using repeated chains and slip stitches.

Sew a ring of tiny pastel flowers around the waistline or upper skirt area. Use pink, yellow, lilac, peach, and pale green accents. The flowers should be very small and closely spaced.

Mini Hat

Use the same method as the large hat but on a much smaller scale. Keep the brim shallow and neat. It should sit low but not cover the eyes.

Detailed Flower Motif Options

Because the set includes several very small flowers, use one or two standard flower formulas throughout the project to keep the look cohesive.

Shaping Notes for Accuracy

The large bunny in the image has a rounded face, a soft lower cheek area, and a compact torso hidden partly by the dress. Keep the neck stable so the head sits straight under the hat.

The ears should not stick outward too much. They fall close to the head, then drape downward. The hat brim should sit just above the eye line and extend wider than the head on all sides.

The neckline bluebells need a gentle cascading look. Use slightly different stem lengths so the bells appear organic. The hem bells should be spaced evenly enough to create rhythm but not so precisely that they look stiff.

The purse strap crosses from the bunny’s left shoulder to the right hip in the image. Position yours the same way if you want the closest visual match.

Stuffing and Structure Tips

• Stuff the head firmly so the face stays round beneath the hat.
• Stuff the legs especially well at the ankles to support the sandals.
• Keep the arms lighter so they hang naturally.
• Do not overstuff the ears.
• Use a hidden neck support if your head feels heavy.

Adapting Without Losing the Look

If your yarn is slightly thicker, keep the same shaping style and proportion rather than chasing the exact size. The key visual points are the long cream ears, dusty blue outfit, hat with hanging bells, slim silhouette, and coordinated accessories.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that both eyes sit evenly before closing the head completely. Keep the nose very small and centered, with short soft brows placed slightly high for the gentle expression shown. A faint blush on the cheeks is optional but should stay subtle.

Sew the hat so it sits securely without crushing the ears. Arrange the neckline bells, hem bells, and purse flowers last, adjusting them until the whole set feels balanced from front view.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight
• Handle the hat sprays and tiny flowers gently
• Avoid rough play if using the set mainly as decor
• Store flat or upright to protect the brim shape

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Face centered and symmetrical
• Ears attached at matching height
• Dress fitted smoothly at bodice and waist
• Bluebell trim attached securely
• Sandals aligned evenly on both feet
• Hat brim round and balanced
• Purse strap placed diagonally
• Mini bunny colors coordinated with the main doll
• Bouquet and handkerchief completed

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the finished set with a soft dry brush or a gentle air puff. For deeper cleaning, spot clean carefully with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap, then reshape and air dry completely. Do not machine wash if the hat brim has support inside or if tiny glued details were used.

When storing, wrap the dolls and accessories in acid-free tissue and keep them in a dry box. Avoid compressing the hat brim, bluebell sprays, and bouquet. If needed, steam very lightly from a distance to relax minor shaping bends, but never soak the pieces.
