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 pattern creates a standing bunny with a large round head, long drooping ears, short arms, straight legs, a layered skirt, a textured hydrangea shoulder cape, Mary Jane shoes, and a tilted flower hat.

The image shows a coordinated companion duck wearing a matching floral outfit and hat, plus three tiny props: a cloud purse, a flower pot, and a small closed book. To match the photo closely, work with tight stitches and firm stuffing.

The bunny is the tallest piece and should stand about 11 to 12 inches tall from the soles to the top of the head, not including the hat. The duck should finish around one-third of the bunny’s height.

Materials

  • Main yarn: light beige for bunny, hat, purse, flower pot, book cover, and shoe trim
  • Accent yarn: sky blue for cape, duck bodice, flower details, and shoe trim
  • Accent yarn: soft lavender for flowers
  • Accent yarn: dusty pink for flowers and tiny facial embroidery
  • Accent yarn: pale cream for bunny skirt ruffle and duck skirt ruffle
  • Accent yarn: yellow for duck body
  • Accent yarn: orange for duck beak and feet
  • Accent yarn: green for tiny flower leaves
  • Hook: 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm, depending on your yarn thickness
  • Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
  • Eyes: glossy black safety eyes, about 8 mm to 10 mm for bunny, 5 mm to 6 mm for duck
  • Optional: thin plastic support or dowel for the bunny legs if extra firmness is needed
  • Tapestry needle, stitch marker, scissors, sewing pins

Color Placement Notes

The photo depends heavily on soft color distribution. Keep the bunny body neutral and let the flowers carry the color story. The hydrangea flowers should alternate blue, pink, and lavender with occasional mixed clusters.

The shoulder cape looks full and rounded because many puff-like blossoms sit over a blue base. The skirt hem also carries a floral border, but it is flatter and more evenly spaced than the shoulder section.

  • Bunny body: beige
  • Bunny upper floral cape base: blue
  • Bunny main skirt: beige
  • Bunny ruffle overskirt: cream
  • Bunny shoes: beige with blue edging and tiny blue side buttons
  • Hat: beige with a blue band and clustered flowers
  • Duck body: yellow
  • Duck outfit base: blue top, cream skirt, floral trim

Abbreviations

  • MR = magic ring
  • sc = single crochet
  • inc = 2 sc in one stitch
  • dec = invisible decrease
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • ch = chain
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • BLO = back loop only
  • FLO = front loop only
  • [ ] = repeat the instructions inside brackets

Gauge and Tension

Exact gauge is less important than firmness. The stitches in the photo are compact, even, and dense enough that stuffing does not show through. Use a hook smaller than the yarn label suggests.

If your work feels loose, size down the hook. If the floral cape looks flat instead of plush, use slightly thicker flower yarn or add one extra petal cluster in each section.

Main Bunny

Head

The bunny’s head is the dominant feature. It is almost spherical, slightly wider at the cheeks, and softly flattened at the base where it joins the neck. Place the eyes wide apart for the gentle expression seen in the image.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [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 to 21: sc around (60)
  12. Insert eyes between Rnds 13 and 14, about 12 stitches apart
  13. Rnd 22: [8 sc, dec] x 6 (54)
  14. Rnd 23: [7 sc, dec] x 6 (48)
  15. Rnd 24: [6 sc, dec] x 6 (42)
  16. Rnd 25: [5 sc, dec] x 6 (36)
  17. Stuff firmly and shape cheeks
  18. Rnd 26: [4 sc, dec] x 6 (30)
  19. Rnd 27: [3 sc, dec] x 6 (24)
  20. Rnd 28: [2 sc, dec] x 6 (18)
  21. Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing

Embroider a tiny triangular nose in dusty pink centered two rounds below the eyes. Add one short vertical stitch and two tiny angled stitches to suggest a delicate mouth. Keep it minimal, because the image shows a very soft face.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, flat, and gently tapered. They hang close to the sides of the head and end just below the shoulder line. They are not heavily stuffed. Light stuffing only at the top is enough.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
  4. Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] x 6 (24)
  5. Rnd 5 to 8: sc around (24)
  6. Rnd 9: [10 sc, dec] x 2 (22)
  7. Rnd 10 to 14: sc around (22)
  8. Rnd 15: [9 sc, dec] x 2 (20)
  9. Rnd 16 to 20: sc around (20)
  10. Flatten and sc through both sides for 6 to 8 stitches to close the lower edge slightly
  11. Leave a long tail

Sew the ears to the head slightly behind the eye line so they frame the face. Angle them downward immediately instead of outward. That placement is important for matching the photo.

Body

The body is a slim cylinder with a gentle waist and rounded lower belly. Most of it will be covered by the skirt, so focus on a balanced shape rather than decorative contouring. Keep the neck short.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [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 to 8: sc around (30)
  7. Rnd 9: [8 sc, dec] x 3 (27)
  8. Rnd 10 to 13: sc around (27)
  9. Rnd 14: [8 sc, inc] x 3 (30)
  10. Rnd 15 to 18: sc around (30)
  11. Stuff firmly
  12. Rnd 19: [3 sc, dec] x 6 (24)
  13. Rnd 20: sc around (24)
  14. Leave tail for attaching head

Legs Make 2

The bunny stands on straight legs hidden partly by the skirt. The lower legs are slim and vertical. The feet are covered by separate shoes, so the leg base may remain simple and narrow.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3 to 16: sc around (12)
  4. Stuff firmly, especially the lower half
  5. Fasten off first leg
  6. Make second leg but do not fasten off
  7. Join legs with 4 ch
  8. Rnd 17: sc around first leg, sc across chain, sc around second leg, sc across opposite side of chain (32)
  9. Rnd 18 to 21: sc around (32)
  10. Continue into body shaping from there if you prefer one-piece construction, or sew to lower body if working separately

📌Thank you for reading the article

If you want extra standing stability, insert a thin support inside each leg before closing the body. The photo suggests a very upright finish, so firm stuffing is essential.

Arms Make 2

The arms are short, soft cylinders with a rounded hand end and a slight taper at the shoulder. They sit low on the body, just below the floral cape.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3 to 5: sc around (12)
  4. Rnd 6: [4 sc, dec] x 2 (10)
  5. Rnd 7 to 13: sc around (10)
  6. Lightly stuff only the lower half
  7. Flatten opening and close with 5 sc through both sides
  8. Leave a long tail

Bunny Clothing

Main Skirt

The skirt has two visible layers in the image. The lower beige layer is the structural skirt, and the cream lace-like layer sits above it as an overskirt. The hem also carries a floral border.

Start the main skirt at the body waist.

  1. Join beige yarn to the waistline
  2. Rnd 1: work in FLO around, inc evenly to 36 stitches
  3. Rnd 2: [5 sc, inc] around (42)
  4. Rnd 3: sc around (42)
  5. Rnd 4: [6 sc, inc] around (48)
  6. Rnd 5: sc around (48)
  7. Rnd 6: [7 sc, inc] around (54)
  8. Rnd 7 to 9: sc around (54)
  9. Rnd 10: [8 sc, inc] around (60)
  10. Rnd 11: sc around (60)
  11. Rnd 12 scallop edge: [sl st, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1, sl st in next st] around

Cream Overskirt

This layer should sit a little above the bottom hem and create the decorative lace band seen in the photo. Use the unused back loops from the waist area or attach separately just above the main skirt midpoint.

  1. Join cream yarn in a round above the lower skirt
  2. Rnd 1: sc around evenly, about 48 stitches
  3. Rnd 2: [ch 3, skip 1, sc in next] around for an openwork base
  4. Rnd 3: into each chain space work [2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc]
  5. Rnd 4: scallop edge with [sl st, 6 dc in next space, sl st in next space]

Do not let this overskirt fall longer than the bottom skirt. In the image, it ends clearly above the floral hemline.

Hydrangea Shoulder Cape

This part defines the whole outfit. It is a circular blue yoke with a gently ruffled edge and many puff-like blossoms sewn densely across the surface. It should cover the shoulders like a short cape rather than fit tightly like a sweater.

  1. With blue yarn, ch 24 and join carefully without twisting, or make a neck opening that fits over the head if adding a back seam
  2. Rnd 1: sc around (24)
  3. Rnd 2: [3 sc, inc] around (30)
  4. Rnd 3: sc around (30)
  5. Rnd 4: [4 sc, inc] around (36)
  6. Rnd 5: sc around (36)
  7. Rnd 6: [5 sc, inc] around (42)
  8. Rnd 7: sc around (42)
  9. Rnd 8: [6 sc, inc] around (48)
  10. Rnd 9 edge: in BLO, sc around
  11. Rnd 10 ruffle edge: [2 hdc in each of next 2 stitches, sc in next 2 stitches] around

The finished cape should sit just below the shoulders and stop above the waist. Steam lightly if needed, but do not flatten the edge too much.

Hydrangea Flowers for Bunny Cape

Make many tiny blossoms in blue, lavender, and pink. The image suggests at least 24 to 30 blossoms across the bunny cape and skirt trim combined. Each blossom should look puffy and compact, not flat.

One simple blossom method:

  1. With flower color, 5 sc in MR
  2. Join with sl st
  3. In each stitch work [sl st, ch 2, 3 dc cluster, ch 2, sl st]
  4. Repeat around to make 5 petals
  5. Fasten off with a long tail

📌Thank you for reading the article

Make blossoms in these approximate amounts:

  • 10 to 12 blue blossoms
  • 8 to 10 lavender blossoms
  • 8 to 10 pink blossoms
  • 4 to 6 tiny green leaf pairs

Sew blossoms densely across the top of the cape, especially over the shoulders and upper chest. Layer a few slightly on top of one another to create the cloudlike hydrangea volume from the image.

Skirt Hem Flowers

Attach smaller blossoms around the lower skirt hem. These should be more evenly spaced than the cape flowers. Alternate colors and add a few small green leaves tucked underneath.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are classic Mary Jane style with a rounded toe, beige body, pale blue sole edge, and a side button detail. Keep them neat and slightly oversized so the bunny looks charming and balanced.

  1. With blue yarn, ch 7
  2. Rnd 1: starting in second ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, sc 4 on opposite side, 2 sc in last stitch (14)
  3. Rnd 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc (20)
  4. Change to beige
  5. Rnd 3: BLO sc around (20)
  6. Rnd 4 to 5: sc around (20)
  7. Rnd 6 toe shaping: 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc (16)
  8. Rnd 7: sc around (16)
  9. Create strap with 6 ch on one side, attach across opening with sl st
  10. Add a tiny blue button or embroidered dot at the outer side

Hat

The hat is a small tilted boater style with a shallow crown, flat top, and narrow brim. It sits at a slight angle on the bunny’s head, leaning to one side. The blue band and flower cluster are essential.

  1. With beige yarn, Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
  4. Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] x 6 (24)
  5. Rnd 5 to 8: sc around (24)
  6. Rnd 9: BLO [3 sc, inc] x 6 (30)
  7. Rnd 10: [4 sc, inc] x 6 (36)
  8. Rnd 11: sc around (36)
  9. Rnd 12 brim edge: sl st loosely around

Add a blue band around the crown using surface crochet or a thin chain sewn in place. Sew 5 to 7 tiny hydrangea blossoms to one side of the band.

  1. Rnd 1: with yellow yarn, 6 sc in MR (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)

Duck Outfit

The duck echoes the bunny outfit. Create a tiny blue bodice or cape with three to five blossoms at the chest, plus a cream skirt with floral hem.

  • Blue top base: make a small semicircle or collar using 18 to 22 stitches
  • Add 3 to 5 tiny blossoms in pink, lavender, and blue
  • For the skirt, attach cream yarn at the waist and increase lightly to create a bell shape
  • Finish with a small scalloped edge
  • Add a narrow floral border near the hemline

Duck Hat

Make the same hat shape as the bunny’s but smaller. Add a blue band and 2 to 3 tiny blossoms. Sew at a jaunty angle.

Duck Bag

The duck carries a small beige shoulder bag. Make a tiny oval pouch with a long chain strap and sew it to one wing or across the body.

  1. Ch 5
  2. Work an oval base and two rounds of sc for depth
  3. Ch 20 to 24 for strap
  4. Fasten strap to opposite side

Duck Feet

Embroider or crochet small orange flat feet and attach to the base so they peek out under the skirt.

Small Accessories

Cloud Purse

The cloud purse is soft cream and lightly stuffed, with a rounded cloud outline and a thin strap. Keep it puffy but flat enough to read clearly as a purse.

  1. Make 2 identical cloud panels using a simple puffed silhouette of small rounded bumps
  2. Each panel may begin with ch 9 and be worked around in an oval while adding 3 small bump sections along the top
  3. Join both panels with sc, lightly stuff before closing
  4. Add a long chain strap and sew securely

Flower Pot

This tiny pot holds a compact hydrangea cluster. The pot is beige or light brown, slightly tapered, and the flowers are oversized compared with the container, exactly like the photo.

  1. Pot Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
  2. Rnd 2: inc around (12)
  3. Rnd 3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
  4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around
  5. Rnd 5 to 7: sc around
  6. Rnd 8: [sc, dec] x 6 (12)
  7. Add a stuffed insert or scrap filling
  8. For flowers, sew 6 to 8 tiny blossoms tightly together on top
  9. Add 2 to 3 green leaves between blossoms

Mini Book

The book is a small beige rectangle with a pale page edge and a tiny decorative dot, matching the neat little object in front of the bunny.

  1. Make 2 beige rectangles, about 8 stitches by 6 rows
  2. Make 1 slightly smaller cream rectangle for pages
  3. Stack and sew around three sides
  4. Add a tiny blue stitch and a short white stitched label line on the cover

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head to the body firmly and make sure it sits centered. Attach the ears first, then the arms, then the skirt layers, cape, shoes, and hat. Place the bunny hat at a slight angle rather than straight.

For the face, keep the embroidery very small. The eyes should remain the main feature. A tiny pink nose, one short center stitch, and a soft mouth line are enough. Avoid eyelashes or extra blush if you want the closest match.

Arrange the cape flowers before sewing. Concentrate the fullest flower clusters over the shoulders, then taper them toward the center chest. On the skirt hem, space the flowers evenly for a neat border.

Care Notes

Use gentle handling for the floral details, since the petals are small and dimensional. This piece is best displayed rather than used as a rough-play toy.

  • Store away from direct sunlight
  • Do not hang the bunny by the ears or hat
  • Lift by the body, not by the cape flowers
  • Keep the mini accessories together in a display tray or box

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Are the bunny eyes placed wide enough for a soft expression?
  • Do both ears hang to the same length?
  • Does the cape cover the shoulders without looking flat?
  • Are the skirt flowers evenly spaced?
  • Do the shoes match in strap placement and trim?
  • Is the hat tilted slightly to one side?
  • Does the duck repeat the same color story as the bunny?
  • Are the cloud purse, flower pot, and book included?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Blot gently and reshape while drying. Avoid soaking the piece, because the stuffed flowers and hat trim may lose their structure.

If dust collects, use a soft dry brush and work slowly around the petals. Store flat or upright in a clean cabinet, preferably with tissue support around the hat and cape to help the silhouette stay crisp.
