Scabiosa Velvet-Teacart Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi set brings together a heirloom-style bunny doll, a sweet mouse companion, a flower bouquet, a market tote, and two tiny tea carts. The finished pieces have the charm of a handmade nursery decor collectible, a boutique gift idea, and a display-ready spring bunny doll.

The soft dusty rose palette, layered skirt, tiny tea service, and matching accessories give this design the look of a premium artisan crochet pattern often searched by makers who love collectible amigurumi, cottagecore decor, baby shower gift ideas, and handcrafted stuffed animal sets for sale.

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 design recreates the full scene shown in the image: a tall bunny in a rose dress and hat, a short velvet-style shrug, floral trim around the skirt, strap shoes, a bouquet, a tote bag, a tea cart with tea service, and a small mouse companion with a matching outfit and its own tea wagon.

The shaping is simple enough for confident beginners, but the finishing details matter a lot. Work slowly, count every round, and compare the proportions of each piece before assembly. The charm of this set comes from the balance between a smooth body, crisp accessories, and very small decorative elements.

Materials

• Lightweight cotton yarn in warm cream for bunny and mouse bodies
• Dusty rose cotton yarn for hat, dress, shoes, tote, and trim
• Deep berry or plum yarn for shrug edging and flower accents
• Soft lavender yarn for flower clusters
• Muted green yarn for stems and leaves
• Very small amount of pale pink or blush yarn for noses and tiny details
• Optional plush or velvet-style yarn in dusty berry pink for the shrug to mimic the fuzzy texture in the image
• Crochet hook suited to your yarn, typically 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm for amigurumi and 1.75 mm to 2.0 mm for miniature pieces
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Black safety eyes for the bunny
• Tiny black beads or very small safety eyes for the mouse
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Thin craft wire or pipe cleaner for stabilizing the mouse tail if desired
• Cardboard or plastic canvas inserts for the tea carts if extra firmness is needed
• Craft glue only if you prefer securing the smallest tea pieces after crocheting

Finished Size

• Main bunny: about 9 to 11 inches tall including ears, depending on yarn and tension
• Mouse companion: about 4 to 5 inches tall
• Large tea cart: about 2 inches tall
• Small wagon: about 1.5 inches tall
• Tote bag: about 2.5 inches tall including handles
• Bouquet: about 2 inches across

Gauge and Fabric Notes

Keep your stitches tight so the stuffing does not show. The body in the image is smooth and dense, with very neat rounds and very little visible distortion. If your work feels loose, go down a hook size. The skirt and accessories can be slightly softer, but the body should stay firm and round.

The shrug in the photo looks plush and textured compared with the smooth body and skirt. You can copy that look by using a velvet-style yarn for the shrug only, or by staying with cotton and brushing the surface lightly after finishing. Either option gives a soft visual contrast.

Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase
• dec = invisible decrease
• sl st = slip stitch
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• BLO = back loop only
• FLO = front loop only
• st = stitch
• rnd = round

Design Notes Before You Start

• Do not oversize the head. The bunny in the image has a large head, but not an exaggerated one. It should be about one and one-third the width of the body.
• The ears are short and upright. They are not long floppy rabbit ears. They are rounded, padded, and sit close together through openings in the hat.
• The body is slim and cylindrical. It narrows slightly at the waist and widens under the skirt.
• The arms are simple and slightly tapered. They hang down with a soft outward angle.
• The legs are straight and not too long. The feet are hidden inside strap shoes.
• The dress is the visual centerpiece. Make the tiered texture, lace-like horizontal trims, and flower clusters carefully.

Main Bunny

Head

Work in cream. Stuff firmly as you go. The head should be almost spherical, slightly flattened at the bottom so it sits neatly above the neck and under the hat brim.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. 48 sts.
9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc around. 54 sts.
10. Rnds 10 to 20: sc around.
11. Place eyes between Rnds 12 and 13, about 10 stitches apart. The expression in the image is gentle and centered, so do not place the eyes too wide.
12. Embroider a tiny pale pink triangular nose centered two rounds below the eyes. Add a very short straight stitch below it for the mouth.
13. Rnd 21: 7 sc, dec around. 48 sts.
14. Rnd 22: 6 sc, dec around. 42 sts.
15. Rnd 23: 5 sc, dec around. 36 sts.
16. Rnd 24: 4 sc, dec around. 30 sts.
17. Stuff firmly.
18. Rnd 25: 3 sc, dec around. 24 sts.
19. Rnd 26: 2 sc, dec around. 18 sts.
20. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing to the neck.

Ears Make 2

The ears are short, upright, and softly cupped. They are not pointed. Each ear is worked as an oval and folded slightly at the base before attaching.

1. In cream, ch 6.
2. Round around the chain: starting in second ch from hook, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side, 3 sc, inc in final st. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 2: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc. 18 sts.
4. Rnd 3: sc around.
5. Rnd 4: 1 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 1 sc. 22 sts.
6. Rnds 5 to 8: sc around.
7. Flatten lightly. Do not stuff heavily. Add only a whisper of filling at the base if you want more structure.
8. Fold the bottom edge slightly inward so the ear cups forward. Sew closed at the base.

Body

The body is straight and simple, because most of it sits under the dress. Keep it neat and compact. The neck should be short so the head sits close to the shoulders, just like the image.

1. In cream, Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. Rnds 6 to 10: sc around.
7. Rnd 11: 4 sc, dec around. 25 sts or adjust to 24 sts by working one extra dec evenly.
8. Rnds 12 to 15: sc around.
9. Rnd 16: 2 sc, inc around to return to 30 sts if needed. This gives a gentle hip flare under the skirt.
10. Rnds 17 to 18: sc around.
11. Stuff firmly.
12. Fasten off or continue joining the skirt base if you prefer attaching clothing directly to the body.

Legs Make 2

The legs are slim cylinders. They should be long enough for the skirt hem to stop above the ankles, leaving the shoes visible.

1. In cream, Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnds 3 to 14: sc around.
4. Stuff lightly to medium. The legs should stay straight, not bulky.
5. Fasten off first leg. Make second leg and do not fasten off.
6. Join the legs with 4 chains or a direct join, depending on your preferred body construction. Crochet evenly around both legs and join space to begin the lower body if building in one piece, or sew the legs to the underside of the body if working separately.

Arms Make 2

The arms are slightly wider near the top and gently rounded at the hands. They angle downward and outward. Avoid overstuffing so they lie softly against the dress.

1. In cream, Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: sc around.
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, dec around. 9 sts.
5. Rnds 5 to 14: sc around.
6. Stuff only the lower half lightly.
7. Flatten and close with 4 or 5 sc through both layers, or sew shut later.

Dress

Dress Base

The dress has a fitted waist and a flared skirt. It is worked in dusty rose and worn over the body. The image shows horizontal banding, so add gentle row texture or alternating stitch heights to recreate the layered look.

1. Starting at the waist, chain a length that fits snugly around the bunny body. Join without twisting. A typical count is 36 to 42 chains.
2. Round 1: sc around.
3. Round 2: hdc around.
4. Round 3: in BLO, hdc around. This creates a subtle ridge.
5. Round 4: hdc around.
6. Round 5: increase evenly by 6 stitches.
7. Rounds 6 to 8: hdc around.
8. Round 9: in BLO, hdc around.
9. Round 10: increase evenly by 6 stitches.
10. Rounds 11 to 13: hdc around.
11. Round 14: in BLO, hdc around.
12. Round 15: increase evenly by 6 to 8 stitches.
13. Rounds 16 to 18: hdc around.
14. Round 19: dc around for a slightly wider swing at the hem.
15. Round 20: work a soft shell or picot-style edging if desired, but keep it refined. The hem in the image is neat, not heavily ruffled.

Horizontal Lace Trims

The skirt in the image has narrow pale trims running across several rows. These read visually like inserted lace ribbons. Recreate them with fine cream chains or surface crochet bands placed along the ridges created by BLO rounds.

• Using cream yarn, surface slip stitch along two or three horizontal skirt ridges.
• On one or two lines, add a tiny chain-loop trim by repeating ch 2, skip 1, sl st into next point along the ridge.
• Keep the trim narrow. The bands should decorate the skirt, not dominate it.

Flower Clusters for Skirt

The dress has clustered flowers near the front and side, placed low on the skirt. These are dimensional and delicate. Make several tiny blossoms in berry, blush, and lavender, then cluster them in small groups with green leaves.

Tiny Blossom Make Several

1. With flower color, make MR.
2. Into ring work: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sl st, repeat 5 times to make five petals.
3. Pull ring closed and fasten off.

Mini Puff Blossom Option

1. MR.
2. Work 5 tiny puff or bobble petals separated by sl sts.
3. Fasten off and flatten slightly.

Leaves

1. With green, ch 4.
2. Starting in second chain from hook: sl st, sc, hdc.
3. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Arrange two or three blossoms with one or two leaves into each cluster. Sew one cluster near the left hem, one larger cluster at the lower right front, and one smaller accent closer to the waistline on the right side, matching the image composition.

Shrug or Short Velvet-Style Jacket

This piece gives the bunny its polished look. It is short, rounded, open at the front, and sits like a cropped cape-jacket over the shoulders. The body of the shrug is soft and plush, while the edge is darker and clearly defined.

1. Using dusty berry pink plush yarn or standard cotton, chain enough to span from one front edge, across the back neck, to the other front edge.
2. Work rows of hdc or dc to form a shallow curved rectangle.
3. Shape the front corners by decreasing gently over the last few rows so the fronts round downward instead of hanging straight.
4. Make two very short sleeve caps or simply leave openings at the sides and tack the piece under the arms.
5. Edge the entire piece with deep berry yarn using sl st or sc.
6. The shrug should stop above the waist. It must not cover the flower clusters on the skirt.

Hat

The hat is a shallow cloche with a soft brim and two ear openings. It sits low around the head, with the ears emerging above it. The brim curves gently downward rather than flaring sharply.

1. In dusty rose, Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. 48 sts.
9. Try on the head. Continue one more increase round if needed, but keep the crown close-fitting.
10. Rnds 9 to 12: sc around.
11. On the next round, mark positions for ear openings. Chain 4 to 5 and skip 4 to 5 stitches for each opening, spacing them evenly at the top front half of the hat.
12. Work one more round around, crocheting into each chain loop.
13. For the brim, increase lightly every 6 to 8 stitches for two or three rounds in hdc.
14. Finish with one final round of sl st or reverse sc for a neat edge.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are Mary Jane style in dusty rose with a strap across the front. Each shoe has a rounded toe and a tiny flower at the side of the strap.

1. With dusty rose, chain 6.
2. Work an oval around the chain to create the sole, increasing at both ends.
3. Work one round in BLO to turn the edge upward.
4. Work 2 to 3 rounds sc around.
5. Shape the toe by crocheting short decreases across the front third over one or two rounds.
6. Create a narrow strap by joining yarn at one side, chaining across the front opening, and anchoring on the other side.
7. Make a tiny flower or bow from 3 to 5 chain loops and attach near the outer side of each strap.
8. Sew the shoes firmly over the feet.

Market Tote Bag

The tote in the image is simple, soft, and upright, with two rounded handles. It sits beside the tea cart and should not be oversized.

1. With dusty rose, make an oval base by chaining 10 and working around both sides.
2. Work upward in tight sc for several rounds until the bag reaches a small bucket shape.
3. On the next round, create two handles by chaining 10 to 14 stitches for each handle and skipping the same number of stitches on the bag body.
4. Work one reinforcing round around the entire top edge and handles.
5. Do not add lining unless desired. The bag in the image looks soft and lightly structured.

Flower Bouquet

The bouquet has clustered blossoms in lavender, berry, and blush tones, gathered at the stems. It is small but visually rich. Make several tiny blossoms in different sizes, then bind them together tightly so they form a rounded bunch.

• Make 6 to 9 miniature flowers using the blossom instructions from the skirt section.
• Make 4 to 6 leaves in muted green.
• Create several short wrapped stems by chaining 8 to 10 in green or by wrapping floral wire with yarn.
• Bundle the stems together and tie with matching green yarn.
• Sew or glue the bouquet so it keeps its rounded shape when placed on the table.

Large Tea Cart

The cart under the larger tea set is wooden in the image, but it can be recreated in crochet using tan or wood-brown yarn. The structure is boxy with four wheels and a lower shelf. Keep it small and decorative.

Cart Body

1. With tan yarn, crochet a flat rectangle for the base.
2. Make four narrow side panels: front, back, and two ends.
3. Sew them around the base to form a shallow open crate.
4. Make a second smaller rectangle for the lower shelf and attach between four corner posts.
5. Add a slim handle bar if desired, though the image emphasizes the cart form more than a tall handle.

Wheels Make 4

1. With brown yarn, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12 sts.
3. Work one round without increases.
4. Make a tiny center hub in a lighter tan if desired.
5. Sew one wheel to each corner.

Tea Set for Large Cart

The tea service includes a teapot, several teacups, saucers, and a small sugar or cream piece. These parts are tiny and best made with very fine yarn. Keep them clean and round rather than highly detailed.

Mini Teapot

1. With cream or pale pink, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12, then 18.
3. Work 2 rounds even.

3. Fasten off and flatten.

Arrange the pieces on the cart with one teapot centered and the cups grouped around it. The image shows a tidy serving arrangement, not a crowded one.

Mouse Companion

The smaller companion appears as a dressed mouse with round ears and a slim tail. It echoes the bunny’s colors and styling. Keep the proportions soft and toy-like. The head is slightly larger than the body, but still compact.

Mouse Head

1. With warm beige or light tan, 6 sc in MR.

Mouse Tail

1. With beige or dusty rose, chain 18 to 24.
2. Slip stitch back along the chain, or wrap yarn over a fine wire for a shaped tail.
3. Attach at the back base of the body with a slight upward curve.

Mouse Dress, Shrug, and Hat

Repeat the style of the bunny in a simpler, smaller version. Use the same dusty rose for the skirt and hat, and the same deeper berry edging for the shrug. The image shows a coordinated set rather than identical pieces, so keep the spirit of the outfit while simplifying the details.

• Work a short flared skirt in hdc or dc.
• Add one or two tiny ruffles or textured lines near the hem.
• Make a miniature cropped shrug with curved fronts.
• Make a very small hat with a shallow brim and openings for the ears.

Small Wagon for Mouse

The mouse’s wagon is smaller and simpler than the large cart. It is box-like, low to the ground, and carries another miniature tea service.

1. Crochet a tiny rectangular box in tan or brown.
2. Add four small wheels as described for the large cart, but reduce the diameter slightly.
3. Make a slim pull handle by chaining and reinforcing with slip stitches, or by covering a short wire with yarn.
4. Place a tiny teapot and two or three cups inside.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the ears to the head first, close together and slightly forward.
2. Attach the head to the body with the face centered.
3. Sew the arms at shoulder height so they angle down softly.
4. Attach the legs firmly and check that the doll stands with support.
5. Dress the bunny in the skirt and then add the shrug.
6. Sew or place the shoes onto the feet.
7. Fit the hat over the ears and secure it lightly so it sits low around the forehead.
8. Add the skirt flower clusters and bouquet.
9. Make and arrange the tote, tea cart, and tea set.
10. Construct and dress the mouse companion last so you can scale it visually beside the bunny.

Color Placement Tips

• Main body: warm cream for a soft, classic toy finish
• Dress and hat: dusty rose, slightly muted rather than bright pink
• Shrug trim and flower accents: berry or plum for contrast
• Flowers: lavender, blush, and berry with green leaves
• Tea pieces: pale cream with hints of rose
• Carts: tan or warm brown to resemble wood

Proportion Checklist While Crocheting

Before finishing, step back and compare your pieces. The bunny’s head should look large but not oversized. The hat should frame the face without covering the eyes. The shrug should stop above the waist. The skirt should flare outward enough to feel layered and elegant, but not so wide that it hides the doll completely.

The mouse should feel like a companion piece, not a second main character. Keep it noticeably smaller. The carts and tea service should be tiny enough to look delicate in relation to the dolls. When all pieces are together, the display should feel balanced and soft.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head securely with extra stitching at the back of the neck so it does not wobble. Add a slight indentation under each eye if you want a softer face. Keep the nose tiny and centered. The mouth should remain minimal, just enough to suggest a calm expression.

Secure the hat with a few hidden stitches behind the ears. Tack the shrug at the shoulders and lightly under the arms. Sew the flower clusters flat enough to stay neat, but leave enough lift for dimension. Arrange the bouquet, bag, carts, and tea pieces after the dolls are complete.

Care Notes

Display pieces with mini accessories should be handled gently. The tea items, flower clusters, and bag handles are delicate. If the set is intended for decor, keep the smallest parts secured well. For a child-safe version, embroider eyes and simplify or enlarge the smallest accessories.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and stable
• Ears evenly placed and matching in angle
• Hat sits low and neat
• Shrug ends curve evenly at front
• Skirt flares smoothly without twisting
• Flower clusters balanced across the dress
• Shoes aligned straight on both feet
• Mouse clearly smaller than bunny
• Tea carts stand evenly on all wheels
• Tea set pieces are secure

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap whenever possible. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water, squeeze out moisture without wringing, then reshape and air dry flat. Avoid soaking plush yarn for too long, because it may lose some texture.

Store the set away from direct sunlight to protect the dusty rose and berry shades from fading. Keep mini accessories together in a small box or fabric pouch. If displaying for long periods, dust lightly with a soft brush and check that the flower appliqués and tea pieces remain secure.
