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 is written in US English and is designed to recreate the full scene shown in the image: the dressed bunny, the hat, capelet, skirt trim, shoulder bag, shoes, matching mini teddy, small bouquet, and tiny book.

The construction uses mostly tight single crochet for the amigurumi pieces and a softer decorative stitch pattern for the clothing. Keep your tension firm for the body and slightly relaxed for the garment layers so the edges drape and scallop neatly.

Notes Before You Begin

The face in the image is simple and soft. The eyes are placed low and wide, the brows are short angled lines, and the nose-mouth area forms a tiny stitched Y shape. Avoid over-sculpting. The charm comes from balance, not heavy shaping.

The body is slender with a larger head, long floppy ears, tapered arms, straight legs, and a dress that widens from the waist. The hat sits low over the crown and frames the ears, which hang down from under the brim rather than standing upright.

The decorative strawberry elements are essential. They appear on the capelet, around the hem of the bunny skirt, and again on the mini teddy dress. Keep them slightly padded in shape by using tight stitches and clear pointed bottoms.

Main Bunny

Head

Using cream and the smaller hook, begin with the head. Stuff firmly as you go, especially from the middle upward, so the face stays round and smooth.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. (48)
9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc rep around. (54)
10. Rnd 10 to 20: sc around. (54)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert eyes between rnds 12 and 13 with about 11 stitches between them, or embroider them later for more control. The image shows small, glossy black eyes that are not oversized, so keep them delicate.

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

Stuff the head very well. The lower face should remain full, not pinched. The neck opening will be joined to the body later, so leave a long tail if you prefer sewing, or continue directly if you use a joined construction.

Body

The body is narrow through the upper torso and lightly widened at the hips, but most of the apparent fullness in the image comes from the dress. Keep the actual body smooth and simple.

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

Stuff the body firmly but not hard. The bunny in the image stands straight, so keep the torso symmetrical. Leave a tail for sewing to the head if made separately.

Legs Make 2

The legs are long, straight, and slim. Most of the lower shape is hidden by the shoes, so do not make a dramatic calf or thigh curve.

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

Stuff the foot area firmly and the upper leg lightly. Flatten the top opening and sew the legs to the bottom of the body so they hang straight and parallel. The doll in the image has a neat standing posture with feet set slightly apart.

Arms Make 2

The arms are softly tapered tubes with rounded ends. They sit low at the shoulder line and angle slightly inward.

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, 4 sc, dec. (10)
5. Rnd 7 to 18: sc around. (10)

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten the top opening and sew to the body just below the neck. In the image, the arms rest beside the dress rather than extending outward.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, floppy, and softly rounded at both ends. They are broad near the base and hang to about chest level. Use tight, even stitches so the ears lie smoothly without ruffling.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Rnd 5 to 8: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 9: 10 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec. (22)
7. Rnd 10 to 16: sc around. (22)
8. Rnd 17: 9 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec. (20)
9. Rnd 18 to 24: sc around. (20)
10. Rnd 25: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. (18)
11. Rnd 26 to 28: sc around. (18)

Do not stuff. Flatten lightly and sew the ears to the upper sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line. Let them fall naturally downward. The hat brim will overlap the base area, so keep the attachment tidy.

Facial Embroidery

Using brown embroidery thread, make two short angled brows above the eyes. Each brow is a simple line slanting slightly upward toward the outer side, giving the face a calm and sweet expression.

For the nose and mouth, stitch a tiny centered Y shape. The top is a small inverted V nose, and the short line below forms the mouth stem. Add faint blush with pink thread or pastel on both cheeks, placed low and close to the eye line.

Hat

The hat has a softly rounded crown and a thick rolled-looking brim. It sits low and wide, almost like a bonnet without ties. Work in joined or continuous rounds, whichever gives you the cleanest finish.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. (48)
9. Rnd 9 to 13: sc around. (48)
10. Rnd 14: BLO sc around. (48)
11. Rnd 15: 7 sc, inc rep around. (54)
12. Rnd 16: 8 sc, inc rep around. (60)
13. Rnd 17: sc around. (60)
14. Rnd 18: hdc around. (60)
15. Rnd 19: hdc around, slightly relaxed tension. (60)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off. The brim should curl gently downward and outward. If it flips too much, lightly steam block the edge. Place the hat so it frames the head and just overlaps the ear bases.

Dress

Bodice

The bodice is simple, fitted, and mostly hidden by the capelet. Keep it plain and neat. Work from the top down so you can fit it to the torso.

1. Ch a length that fits around the upper body snugly, about 30 to 34 chains depending on tension.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Rnd 1 to 4: sc around.
4. Rnd 5: work 2 sc at each side point to allow a gentle flare.
5. Rnd 6: sc around.

Test fit the bodice on the bunny. It should sit just under the arms and remain smooth across the chest. Sew or close at the back neatly if you work it flat instead.

Skirt

The skirt is softly gathered and reaches above the ankles. The texture in the image suggests taller stitches than plain single crochet, so use half double crochet or double crochet for graceful drape.

1. Join yarn at lower edge of bodice.
2. Rnd 1: 2 hdc in every 3rd stitch around to create fullness.
3. Rnd 2 to 6: hdc around.
4. Rnd 7: hdc, ch 1 every 5th stitch at regular intervals if you want a slightly airy handmade look.
5. Rnd 8 to 10: hdc around.

The skirt should widen slightly but not become stiffly puffed. The image shows a soft bell shape rather than a dramatic tutu silhouette. Keep the bottom edge even because the strawberry-and-scallop trim will draw attention there.

Skirt Lower Scallop Base

This base sits behind the hanging strawberry motifs and gives the hem a petaled edge.

1. Join cream to the hem.
2. Work: sc in first st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sc in next st.
3. Repeat all around.

Fasten off and shape each shell so it shows below the strawberries. The scallops should be visible, but not deeper than the fruit motifs themselves.

Peter Pan Collar

The collar is a key detail. It sits above the capelet and forms two rounded front lobes. Work it flat in cream and sew around the neckline.

1. Ch to fit the neckline from back opening around to back opening.
2. Row 1: sc across.
3. Row 2: sc across, increasing near both front curved ends.
4. Row 3: work 2 sc in the first and last 3 stitches to round the ends.
5. Edging: sc around entire collar, making 3 sc in each front tip curve.

Sew the collar so the two front pieces meet near center chest without overlapping much. The collar in the image is soft, rounded, and tidy, not oversized.

Capelet With Strawberry Motifs

This decorative shoulder layer sits over the bodice and under the collar ties. It has open chain arches with strawberries attached inside the arches. Work the capelet in cream, then add the fruit and leaves.

Capelet Base

1. Ch a neckline ring or work flat to fit around the shoulders.
2. Rnd 1: sc evenly around.
3. Rnd 2: ch 5, skip 3 sts, sc in next st around to form open arches.
4. Rnd 3: in each arch work 5 dc, or 4 dc and 1 hdc at edges for smoother drape.

The image shows about five visible decorative sections across the front and shoulders. Adjust the number of arches to suit your bunny, but keep the front balanced with matching left and right sections.

Strawberries for Capelet Make 5

Use pink. The strawberries are small, rounded triangles with a slightly pointed bottom.

1. Rnd 1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (8)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (8)
4. Rnd 4: sc, inc rep around. (12)
5. Rnd 5 to 6: sc around. (12)
6. Rnd 7: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
7. Rnd 8: sc around. (10)
8. Rnd 9: dec around to close slightly.

Lightly stuff or leave unstuffed for flatter fruit. Embroider tiny cream or lighter pink seeds if desired, but keep them subtle because the image reads as textured crochet fruit rather than heavily embroidered berries.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Leaves for Capelet Make 5 Small Clusters

Using green, ch 5. Starting in second ch from hook work sl st, sc, hdc, sl st. Fasten off, leaving a tail. Make 2 or 3 tiny leaves per fruit cluster.

Sew one strawberry into each capelet arch and add a leaf cluster above it. The berry should dangle slightly below the arch center. Arrange all front motifs evenly so the capelet feels symmetrical.

Front Ties

Make two long cream chains. Thread them through the front neckline area just under the collar and tie in a soft bow. Leave long ends hanging. The image shows several narrow strands falling down the front center.

Skirt Strawberry Garland

The lower dress trim includes repeating pink hanging fruit with green vines linking them. This is one of the most important visual features, so space them carefully.

Large Strawberries for Hem Make 7 to 9

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 4: sc, inc rep around. (18)
5. Rnd 5 to 7: sc around. (18)
6. Rnd 8: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
7. Rnd 9: sc around. (16)
8. Rnd 10: dec around partially to narrow top opening.

Make each berry slightly bell-shaped by keeping the bottom full and the top narrower. Add small green tops using tiny leaf pieces or a crocheted star cap.

Hem Garland Placement

Sew the berries evenly around the skirt hem, letting them hang over the scalloped base. Between berries, stitch a green vine line and add small leaves pointing outward. In the image, the fruits nearly touch but still show distinct separation.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are dusty pink Mary Jane style with a strap across the instep and a small opening above the toes. They sit closely around the feet and give the doll a neat standing base.

1. With pink, ch 7.
2. Rnd 1: starting in second ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, sc along opposite side, 3 sc in last ch. Join. (16)
3. Rnd 2: inc at toe and heel curves to reach about 20 sts.
4. Rnd 3: BLO sc around.
5. Rnd 4 to 5: sc around.

For the top opening, flatten slightly and crochet across only the toe area for 1 row, leaving side openings. Then add a strap by attaching yarn at one side, chaining across the opening, and sewing to the other side.

The image shows a decorative front with two small eyelet-like openings near the strap area. You can mimic this by leaving tiny chain spaces or embroidering them delicately. Slip the shoes onto the feet and sew in place if desired.

Shoulder Bag

The bag is small, rectangular, cream-based, with a tan flap and a long strap crossing from shoulder to hip. The front also has stitched architectural detail resembling tiny windows or door panels.

Bag Body

1. With cream, ch 9.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch and across. (8)
3. Rows 2 to 10: sc across. (8)

Make two matching rectangles or one long fold-over piece. Sew sides together. Lightly stuff or line with a tiny felt insert if you want a crisp shape.

Flap

1. With tan, ch 9.
2. Rows 1 to 3: sc across.
3. Row 4: dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec.
4. Edge with sc around for a polished finish.

Sew the flap to the back upper edge of the bag. Embroider the front detail with tan and cream yarn to resemble two narrow panels. Keep the design simple and centered so it echoes the image without becoming bulky.

Strap

With tan, chain a long cord that can cross diagonally from one shoulder to the opposite hip. Slip stitch back along the chain for strength. Sew each end securely to the bag.

Mini Teddy Friend

The tiny companion is a bear, not a second bunny. It has round ears, a small face, cream body, matching collar, berry-trim dress, and a little bag. Keep all proportions compact and sweet.

Head

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
5. Rnd 5 to 8: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 9: 2 sc, dec rep around. (18)
7. Rnd 10: sc around. (18)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert or embroider tiny black eyes low on the face. Embroider a small pink triangular nose and a short mouth line. Stuff well and close after attaching to the body.

Ears Make 2

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

Add a small pink inner ear circle or embroidery and sew to the top sides of the head.

Body

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

Stuff lightly and sew to the head.

Arms and Legs

Make tiny tubes for the arms and small nubs for the legs. The mini teddy sits low, so the legs can be short oval stubs instead of long limbs.

• Arms: 6 sc in MR, then 5 more rounds of sc around.
• Legs: 6 sc in MR, inc to 8 or 10, then 3 rounds even.

Sew the arms to the body sides and the legs underneath so the teddy can rest upright.

Teddy Collar and Dress

Make a tiny cream collar similar to the main bunny collar. Add a short cream skirt with pink berry trim and a few green leaves. The mini outfit should clearly echo the main bunny without becoming overcrowded.

Finish with a tiny cream-and-tan shoulder bag or pouch. Keep the strap narrow and the bag very small so it does not overwhelm the bear.

Bouquet

The bouquet is a cluster of tiny pastel flowers in cream, blush pink, and soft mauve tones with green stems gathered at the bottom. This accessory adds balance to the scene and should remain delicate.

Small Flowers Make 6 to 8

1. Using desired flower color, make MR.
2. Into ring work: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
3. Repeat 4 or 5 times for petals.
4. Tighten ring and fasten off.

Add a green base by crocheting or stitching a tiny star beneath a few flowers. Group them together with floral wire wrapped in yarn, twisted yarn stems, or crocheted cords. Wrap the lower stem area with green yarn and stitch together securely.

Mini Book

The small book is cream with a stitched pink clasp or corner detail. It lies flat beside the bouquet and should look neat from a distance.

1. With cream, ch 10.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch and across. (9)
3. Rows 2 to 6: sc across.

Fold in half like a tiny book cover. Insert a small rectangle of felt, cardboard, or layered crochet inside for pages. Sew the edges closed on the spine side only. Add a tiny pink stitched dot or flap on the front corner.

Assembly

1. Sew the head to the body securely.
2. Attach the legs evenly so the bunny stands straight.
3. Sew the arms at the upper sides of the torso.
4. Attach the ears slightly behind the side face line and let them hang down.
5. Dress the bunny in the bodice and skirt.
6. Sew on the collar and then the capelet.
7. Add the front tie cords.
8. Place the hat low over the crown and stitch lightly in hidden spots.
9. Put on the shoes and sew if needed.
10. Add the crossbody bag diagonally across the front.

Once the main bunny is complete, finish the mini teddy, bouquet, and book. Arrange them as shown, with the bouquet and book near the bunny feet and the mini teddy standing beside the main doll.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the face from the front before knotting off any embroidery. The eyes should look level, the brows should be soft and short, and the mouth should stay tiny. A face that is too bold will change the gentle expression.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For long-term display, keep the set in a clean, dry area with stable temperature. If storing, wrap each item in acid-free tissue and place it in a breathable box. Avoid plastic bags in humid rooms.

When cleaning, test any blush or embroidery first. If you used pastel for cheeks, keep water away from that area and refresh blush only after the piece is fully dry. Store accessories together so the scene remains complete.
