If your audience looks for amigurumi bunny doll, crochet stuffed animal gift, or heirloom handmade toy, this design fits naturally and beautifully.

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 bunny has a large rounded head, a softly tapered body, long flat ears, slim arms, straight legs, a wavy dress hem, and a short jacket covered with dimensional wisteria-like clusters. The silhouette is gentle and upright, with most of the visual weight held in the head, skirt, and floral jacket.

The color story is important. Use a warm cream for the bunny and skirt, dusty lavender for the beret, jacket sleeves, shoe straps, and trim, a pale mauve for the bag, and touches of green and blush for the flower clusters. Keep everything muted rather than bright.

The finished appearance depends on tight, even stitches. The toy in the image looks worked mainly in single crochet with clean shaping, moderate stuffing, and careful assembly. Dimensional details should be firm but not bulky, especially around the face, jacket front, and flower trim.

Materials

• Main yarn A: light cream
• Yarn B: dusty lavender
• Yarn C: soft mauve or muted rose
• Yarn D: pale green
• Yarn E: blush pink or light rosy beige for flower depth

Main Bunny

Head

The head is a near-perfect sphere with a very slight flattening at the lower front. Keep increases smooth and evenly spaced. The eye line sits a little below the horizontal center, leaving enough forehead room for the beret band and enough cheek area for the sweet expression.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 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: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
11. Rnd 11-20: Sc around. (60)

Insert eyes between Rnds 14 and 15 with about 10 to 12 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the image are wide-set and slightly low, which creates a calm, childlike face. Add stuffing firmly, shaping the cheeks smooth and even.

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)
6. Rnd 26: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

Stuff the head fully. The lower opening will connect to the neck and body. Do not close yet unless you prefer sewing later. Embroider a tiny inverted triangle nose in light tan or dusty blush, then add a short vertical line below it. Keep the mouth minimal.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, rounded, and softly drooping. They begin as narrow oval tubes, then flatten naturally. They are not oversized. In the image, each ear hangs down from under the beret and reaches to roughly shoulder level or slightly below.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 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: 7 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 7 sc. (20)
6. Rnd 10-16: Sc around. (20)
7. Rnd 17: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. (18)
8. Rnd 18-28: Sc around. (18)
9. Flatten top opening and seam closed with a few stitches.

Lightly stuff only the lowest 2 to 3 inches if needed. Leave the rest flat. Sew the ears to the head slightly behind the eye line, spaced wide enough to fit under the beret. Angle them downward so they fall straight along the sides of the face.

Body

The body is smaller than the head, softly pear-shaped, and hidden under the skirt. Keep the upper chest narrower so the jacket sits neatly. The lower body can be modestly rounded, but not bulky, because the skirt should drape rather than flare from an oversized core.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 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)
7. Rnd 11: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
8. Rnd 12-15: Sc around. (24)
9. Rnd 16: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
10. Rnd 17-20: Sc around. (18)

Stuff the lower half more firmly than the upper half. If you joined the head directly, continue upward with a short neck section before attaching. If working separately, leave a long tail and sew the head securely after the arms are positioned.

Legs Make 2

The legs are slim cylinders with gentle shaping toward the foot. Since the shoes cover most of the foot visually, the cream leg section may stay simple. The bunny stands best with firm stuffing and a flat joined sole inside each shoe.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-14: Sc around. (12)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff firmly. Leave long tails. Sew the legs to the underside of the body, spaced so the bunny stands balanced. The feet should point forward, not outward. The tops of the legs should disappear under the skirt line.

Arms Make 2

The arms are narrow and lightly stuffed, with a simple mitten-like paw. Because the jacket sleeves are worn over them, keep the paws petite. The arm position in the image is straight and relaxed, falling close to the sides with a slight forward softness.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
3. Rnd 3-4: Sc around. (9)
4. Change to cream or keep same for hidden section depending on sleeve method.
5. Rnd 5-14: Sc around. (9)

Stuff the hand area only lightly and the arm very lightly. Flatten the top and sew to the sides of the body just below the neck seam. Test the jacket fit before final sewing so the sleeves sit naturally over the arms.

Beret

The beret is a key feature. It is broad, rounded, and slightly slouched, with a lavender headband running across the front and a large tied bow on the bunny’s right side. The top should sit low enough to look cozy but not cover the eyes.

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 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 10-14: Sc around. (54)
11. Rnd 15: 7 sc, dec around. (48)
12. Rnd 16: Sc around. (48)
13. Rnd 17: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
14. Rnd 18: Sc around. (42)

Test fit. The hat should sit loosely on the head and cover the ear bases. Fasten off. Add a tiny center nub at the top by stitching a few wrapped loops or by sewing a small crocheted knot.

Beret Band

With lavender, chain enough to wrap across the front of the hat and around the sides, slightly above the eye line. Work 3 to 4 rows of sc to make a neat band about 0.5 inch wide. Sew the band firmly to the beret.

Bow

The bow is structured, not floppy. It has two loops and two long tails, tied at the center and attached to the right side of the band.

1. With lavender, ch 18.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. Turn.
3. Rows 2-6: Sc across.

Fasten off. Wrap the center tightly with yarn to form the bow. For each tail, make a narrow strip about 10 to 14 chains long, work back in sc, and sew beneath the center wrap. Stitch the finished bow onto the beret band at the bunny’s right temple.

Jacket

The jacket is short, open-front, and slightly cropped, ending at the upper waist. It has lavender sleeves, cream edging, small rounded button details, and heavy floral embellishment across the upper chest and shoulder areas. The lower edge is softly scalloped.

Back and Front Yoke

Work from the neckline downward in rows so you can shape the opening. The fit should be snug but not stretched. Check against the stuffed bunny often. The jacket front should meet closely at the center without overlapping heavily.

1. With lavender, ch 26.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. Turn. (25)
3. Row 2: Sc across. Turn.
4. Row 3: 4 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 2 sc. Turn.
5. Row 4: Sc across. Turn.
6. Row 5: Work one more increase row distributed evenly to create gentle armhole depth.

Divide for fronts, armholes, and back. Skip a small section under each arm and continue the body in rows. Work until the jacket reaches just below the bust line. Keep the front edges straight and symmetrical.

Sleeves Make 2

Join lavender yarn around the armhole opening. Work sleeves downward in rounds or joined rounds. The sleeves are straight and moderately roomy, ending around wrist length. They are not puffed.

1. Rnd 1: Join yarn and sc evenly around armhole.
2. Rnd 2-10: Sc around, decreasing once or twice if needed for taper.

At the cuff, switch to cream and add a delicate scallop trim.

1. Cuff Round: In cream, work 1 sc, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st around to form small shell edging.

Front Edging and Buttons

With cream, work a clean sc edging around the neckline, front openings, and lower hem. Add 3 tiny bobble buttons or very small sewn buttons vertically on the center front. They should look decorative and refined rather than oversized.

Lower Jacket Scallop

The lower edge has a soft decorative finish. After the cream edging row, add a second pass of tiny shells or picot-like scallops. Keep the trim neat so it does not flare too much. The jacket should still sit close to the body.

Wisteria Flower Clusters

This is the most distinctive surface detail. The jacket shows dense dangling clusters arranged in groups over both fronts and shoulders. Build each cluster from many tiny puffed petals or bobbles sewn close together, then attach little green leaves at the top.

Mini Flower Puff Make Many

1. With lavender or pale mauve, 4 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: [Sl st, ch 2, 3 dc cluster in same st, sl st in next st] around, or make tiny bobble petals individually.

Another simpler option is to make many tiny bobbles: 3 or 4 half-finished dc in one stitch, close together, then sew these in layered drops. Each finished hanging cluster should contain 6 to 10 tiny blossoms in mixed lavender and blush tones.

Leaves Make Several

1. With pale green, ch 5.
2. Work back along chain: sl st, sc, hdc, sc.

Make pairs and sew them above the blossom clusters. Arrange the floral sections asymmetrically but balanced overall, with more fullness near the upper chest and shoulder seam. Let some blossoms hang lower than others for the cascading wisteria effect.

Skirt

The skirt is cream, full, softly pleated-looking, and finished with a bold lavender ruffle or wave. It sits at the waist and falls to below the knees. It should have enough volume to echo the image, where the hem frames the legs and shoes.

Waistband

1. With cream, chain to fit snugly around the bunny waist.
2. Join carefully without twisting.
3. Work 2 rounds of sc for the waistband.

Skirt Body

The body of the skirt needs fullness. Increase gradually over the next few rounds, then use front-post-like visual ridges or spaced increase panels to create a panelled appearance. Since only the allowed basic stitches are used, create the visual pleats with increase lines and careful shaping.

1. Round 1: Inc evenly around to create flare.
2. Rounds 2-8: Sc around, placing 6 evenly spaced increases every other round.
3. Rounds 9-13: Continue straight or with very slight increases until the skirt reaches desired length.

To imitate the vertical folds seen in the image, mark 6 points around the skirt and work a slightly tighter stitch tension or occasional BLO texture line at those points. This gives the illusion of structured pleats without making the fabric stiff.

Lavender Hem Ruffle

Join lavender at the lower edge. The hem is more pronounced than the jacket trim and should create a flowing, shell-like curve all around the skirt.

1. Hem Round 1: In lavender, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc in one stitch, skip 1 stitch, then 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc in next stitch, repeating to form waves.
2. Hem Round 2: Refine the edge with sl sts or sc as needed so the waves remain clean and even.

Sew or fasten the skirt closed neatly if worked flat. Dress the bunny before attaching accessories. The skirt should sit just beneath the jacket and not bunch at the back.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are lavender Mary Jane style shoes with a rounded toe and a narrow strap. They should fit snugly over the lower legs. The toe box in the image is smooth and rounded, not long or pointed.

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

Flatten the back opening slightly so the shoe hugs the foot. Add a small strap by chaining enough to cross the top and sewing it at each side. A tiny button stitch or knot can suggest the buckle.

Crossbody Bag

The bag is a small mauve pouch with a striped cream-and-mauve flap and a narrow strap worn diagonally across the body. It sits at the bunny’s hip and helps complete the dressed outdoor look shown in the image.

Bag Body

1. With mauve, ch 9.
2. Rnd 1: Work around both sides of chain to form an oval base.
3. Rnd 2-6: Sc around to build a shallow pouch.

Fasten off. Flatten gently. The bag should be compact and rectangular-oval rather than deep.

Flap

1. Attach cream at top back edge.
2. Work 1 row in cream.
3. Change to mauve for next row.
4. Alternate cream and mauve to create soft stripes for 4 to 6 rows.

Round the flap corners by decreasing slightly at each row end. Sew the flap base to the back of the pouch if made separately.

Strap

1. With mauve, ch enough to cross from shoulder to opposite hip.
2. Work 1 row of sc back across.

Sew the strap securely to each side of the bag. Position it diagonally across the jacket, from the bunny’s left shoulder to the right hip, matching the image’s direction.

Grape Cluster Accessory

The small grape-like accessory on the table repeats the floral motif of the jacket. It looks like a soft cluster with two leaves. Use lavender for the fruits and light green for the leaves. It may be displayed beside the bunny rather than attached.

1. Make 8 to 10 tiny puff balls or mini bobbles in lavender.
2. Sew them together into a teardrop cluster.
3. Make 2 leaves in pale green using the same leaf method as for the jacket.
4. Sew leaves at the top.

Keep the finished accessory small, about the size of one bunny shoe or slightly smaller.

Rolled Mat or Blanket

The small cream roll tied with lavender looks like a rolled blanket or mat. It is a simple but useful scene prop. Keep it compact and cylindrical with a visible center spiral when viewed from the side.

1. With cream, ch 16 to 20 depending on scale.
2. Row 1: Sc across.
3. Rows 2-8: Sc across until you have a small rectangle.
4. Roll tightly from one short edge.
5. Stitch in place invisibly.

Make a lavender tie by chaining a narrow strip and wrap it around the center of the roll. Knot or sew it closed. The finished piece should look tidy and softly padded.

Mouse Companion

The miniature companion echoes the bunny styling almost exactly. It has a round head, tiny ears, small black eyes, pale muzzle area, matching beret, purple jacket, cream skirt, and tiny mauve crossbody bag. Keep the proportions compact and cute.

Mouse Head

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 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 5-9: Sc around. (24)
6. Insert tiny eyes between Rnds 6 and 7.
7. Rnd 10: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
8. Rnd 11: 1 sc, dec around. (12)

Stuff lightly to medium. Embroider a very small pink nose. The face should be delicate. Do not make the muzzle protrude too far.

Mouse Ears Make 2

1. With pale pink or cream, 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Fasten off, flatten lightly.

Sew ears high on the sides of the head so they peek beneath the beret. They should be visible and rounded, unlike the bunny’s drooping ears.

Mouse Body

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

Stuff modestly. Attach head. Add tiny arms and legs as simple narrow tubes. These will mostly hide under the clothing, so keep them minimal and fine.

Mouse Clothing and Accessories

Repeat the bunny garment styling in miniature. Make a tiny lavender beret with band, a short lavender jacket with cream edging, a cream skirt with lavender hem, and a tiny mauve bag with striped flap. The mouse version may be simplified, but keep the color placement consistent.

• Use the same stitch language as the bunny garments.
• Reduce stitch counts by about one third to one half.
• Keep the flower jacket detail suggested rather than dense.
• The mouse bag should sit diagonally across the body.

Assembly

Assemble in a slow, controlled order. Dry fit each part first. Small shifts in placement change the whole expression. The image has a calm, balanced look, so symmetry matters, especially at the face, ear placement, shoulder line, and shoe direction.

1. Sew head to body securely.
2. Sew legs to body and test standing balance.
3. Sew arms at the sides with a slight downward angle.
4. Sew ears to head.
5. Dress bunny with skirt, then jacket, then shoes.
6. Set beret in place and tack lightly.
7. Add bag last.

For the mouse, repeat the same order in miniature. Keep the mouse standing or seated neatly beside the bunny when styling the final set.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Embroider the bunny nose as a tiny soft triangle and add a short center line. Do not add a large smile. Gently indent the eye area if needed with a thread pull so the eyes sit sweetly in the face. The mouse nose should be even smaller and rounder.

Sew the beret low enough to frame the face and cover the ear joins. The jacket flowers should drape slightly downward over the chest. After dressing, check that the skirt hem forms an even wave all around and that both shoes face straight ahead.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from constant direct sun.
• Spot clean gently with a damp cloth when needed.
• Avoid soaking the toy if it includes safety eyes and layered embellishments.
• Store flat or upright so the beret and floral trim keep their shape.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are both eyes level and evenly spaced?
• Do the ears hang evenly?
• Does the beret sit low and soft, with the bow on the right side?
• Is the jacket centered and trimmed evenly?
• Are the flower clusters balanced across both sides?
• Does the skirt flare smoothly with a clear lavender wave?
• Does the bag cross the body diagonally and sit at the hip?
• Do the mouse and accessories match the same palette?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use only gentle surface cleaning for the floral jacket and bag. If deeper cleaning is necessary, support the toy with your hands and avoid twisting or stretching the dressed body. Reshape the beret, skirt hem, and flower clusters while damp, then air dry fully on a towel.

For long-term preservation, place the set in a clean dry area with low humidity. Keep it away from rough handling, sharp jewelry, and dust-heavy shelves. A soft brush can be used occasionally to lift lint from the stitches without disturbing the sewn embellishments.
