Poppy Perfume Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi set features a sweet long-eared bunny dressed in a soft coral and blush outfit with a flowered cloche hat, textured vest, cream skirt, tiny collar, and crossed-strap shoes. It is designed to look like a handmade heirloom doll, giftable plush, boutique nursery piece, and collectible spring bunny.

The set also includes the matching mini purse, poppy stems, and a dressed hedgehog companion that turns the main doll into a complete artisan display. The finished look suits shoppers searching for amigurumi doll gift ideas, handmade bunny decor, crochet animal set, and cottage-style plush collectibles.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Finished Size

Using fine cotton or cotton-blend yarn with a 2.0 mm hook, the bunny stands about 9 to 10 inches tall from the soles to the top of the head, not counting the hat. With the hat on, the full display height is about 10 to 10.5 inches.

The hedgehog companion stands about 4 inches tall. The purse is about 2 inches high. Each poppy stem measures about 3 to 4 inches long. Tension affects size, but the proportions should stay the same if you keep your stitches firm.

Design Notes

This set is built around a rounded head, a slim neck, a softly pear-shaped body, long downward ears, and a layered outfit. The hat sits low and wide, almost touching the tops of the eyes. The vest is cropped, textured, and snug. The skirt is fuller than the torso and falls to mid-leg.

The most important visual details are the cloche hat with a large coral poppy, the small cream collar peeking above the vest, the decorative bobble texture on the vest front, the ivory skirt with flower trim, and the matching tiny hedgehog wearing a similar outfit.

Keep your stitches tight so the shapes remain smooth. Stuff the head firmly, the body moderately, the arms lightly, and the ears only a little near the top. The hat should feel structured, not floppy. The skirt should drape gently without becoming stiff.

Main Bunny

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: [3 sc, inc] around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: [4 sc, inc] around. (36)

10. Rnd 10: [8 sc, inc] around. (60)
11. Rnd 11 to 22: Sc around. (60)

Insert the 8 mm eyes between Rnds 15 and 16 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the photo are placed low on the face and wide apart, which gives a calm, gentle expression. Add a small amount of stuffing behind the eye area before closing.

1. Rnd 23: [8 sc, dec] around. (54)
2. Rnd 24: [7 sc, dec] around. (48)

Stuff firmly, shaping the cheeks so the face stays round from the front and slightly flattened from the side. The bunny in the image has full cheeks and a soft chin. Avoid overstuffing the lower face, or the head will look too spherical.

1. Rnd 29: [2 sc, dec] around. (18)
2. Rnd 30: [1 sc, dec] around. (12)
3. Rnd 31: Dec around. (6)
4. Fasten off and close.

Muzzle and Nose Shaping

Using cream, embroider a very small horizontal nose in pale blush or light beige two rounds below the eyes. Add a tiny vertical line beneath it. The mouth should be short and subtle. The face in the image is delicate, so avoid a large triangular nose or a deep smile.

For cheek shaping, run a strand of cream yarn from the base of one eye toward the nose area and back into the head. Pull very gently to create the slight inward contour visible at the face sides. Repeat on the other side, keeping the cheeks even.

Body

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 to 8: Sc around. (30)
7. Rnd 9: [3 sc, dec] around. (24)
8. Rnd 10 to 12: Sc around. (24)
9. Rnd 13: [2 sc, dec] around. (18)
10. Rnd 14 to 15: Sc around. (18)

Stuff the lower body moderately and keep the upper torso firmer so the neck can support the head. The body should be narrower than the head and mostly hidden by the vest and skirt. It should look neat and compact, not long.

1. Rnd 16: [1 sc, inc] around. (27)
2. Rnd 17 to 19: Sc around. (27)
3. Rnd 20: [7 sc, dec] around. (24)
4. Rnd 21 to 22: Sc around. (24)
5. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Legs Make 2

1. Rnd 1: In blush, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: In BLO, sc around. (18)

This creates the shoe sole edge. Stuff the toe lightly. The shoe front in the image is rounded and slightly wide, like a classic Mary Jane. Keep the sole flat with even tension.

1. Rnd 5: Sc around. (18)
2. Rnd 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
3. Rnd 7: Sc around. (14)
4. Change to cream.
5. Rnd 8 to 17: Sc around. (14)
6. Stuff lightly to medium.
7. Flatten top and sc through both sides across 7 stitches, or sew closed flat.

Make the second leg the same. Join both legs to the underside of the body with the shoes facing forward and the inner edges almost touching. The legs should sit straight under the skirt, with only the lower part visible.

Shoe Straps

With blush yarn, attach at the outer side of one shoe opening. Ch 10 to 12 depending on tension, bring diagonally across the foot, and sew to the inner ankle. Make a second chain from the opposite side to create the crossed ballet-style strap seen in the photo.

Repeat for the second shoe. Add a tiny horizontal ankle band if needed to neaten the top edge. The straps should look thin and graceful. Do not make them bulky, because the footwear in the image is dainty.

Arms Make 2

1. Rnd 1: In cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: [1 sc, inc] around. (9)
3. Rnd 3 to 12: Sc around. (9)
4. Rnd 13: [1 sc, dec] around. (6)
5. Rnd 14 to 18: Sc around. (6)

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten the opening and close with 3 sc through both sides or sew flat. Before sewing the arms on, add the tiny cuff detail by surface-stitching one cream or ivory round near the wrist, or by stitching a narrow band of ivory yarn around the arm.

The arms should angle slightly forward and sit just below the vest line. In the photo, the bunny looks relaxed, with softly curved arms rather than straight tube arms.

Ears Make 2

1. Rnd 1: In blush, 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 to 10: Sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 11: [2 sc, dec] around. (18)
7. Rnd 12 to 18: Sc around. (18)
8. Rnd 19: [1 sc, dec] around. (12)
9. Rnd 20 to 26: Sc around. (12)
10. Flatten and close.

Do not stuff the ears except for a tiny amount at the very top if needed. Sew them to the sides of the head so they drop straight down beneath the hat brim. The ear length should end around the shoulder-to-waist area, matching the long draped look in the image.

Clothing for the Bunny

Peter Pan Collar

With ivory, ch 28. Work around the chain in short rows or as a narrow curved strip. The finished collar should look like two rounded petals meeting at the front center under the neck.

1. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc across. Turn.
2. Row 2: Ch 1, dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. Turn.
3. Row 3 to 5: Repeat shaping to create a soft curve.

Make two mirrored pieces or one continuous double-lobed piece. Sew around the neck so the collar points sit over the top of the coral vest. Add one tiny pearl bead or embroidered button in the center front just below the collar opening.

Vest

The vest is a fitted sleeveless piece in coral, worked flat in rows for a neat front texture. It covers the chest and upper waist and ends just above the skirt.

1. Ch 22.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc across. Turn. (21)
3. Row 2: Ch 1, sc across. Turn.
4. Row 3: Ch 1, 3 sc, bobble, 3 sc, bobble, 3 sc, bobble, 3 sc, bobble, 2 sc. Turn.
5. Row 4: Ch 1, sc across, working firmly over bobbles. Turn.
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 3, offsetting the bobbles if desired.
7. Row 6 to 8: Repeat Rows 4 and 5 pattern until the vest reaches the underarm.

Shape the top by working partial rows for the armholes, leaving a shallow V opening at the neckline. The front in the image is modest and wide, not a deep V. The shoulders are narrow because the cream collar remains visible.

Fasten off. Sew the vest around the torso snugly. If you prefer, make a simple back opening and close it with hidden stitches after dressing the doll. Keep the bottom edge straight and the side openings clean, since the vest is very visible in the finished set.

Skirt Base

The skirt is attached around the lower torso and falls in soft gathered rounds. Begin in ivory and work in joined rounds for tidy alignment. A slightly looser hook can help the skirt drape naturally.

1. Rnd 1: Join ivory around the waist with 30 sc evenly placed.
2. Rnd 2: [1 sc, inc] around. (45)
3. Rnd 3: Sc around. (45)
4. Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] around. (60)
5. Rnd 5: Sc around. (60)
6. Rnd 6: [3 sc, inc] around. (75)
7. Rnd 7 to 9: Sc around. (75)

To mimic the soft horizontal ridges seen in the image, work one round in BLO, then one regular round, repeating once. This gives gentle texture without adding heaviness. The skirt should be fuller than a simple tube but not as wide as a circle skirt.

Skirt Lace Panel

For the layered airy look, work decorative rounds over the lower half of the skirt. Keep them delicate. The image shows openwork bands and a scalloped lower edge.

1. Rnd 10: [2 dc, ch 1, skip 1] around.
2. Rnd 11: Sc in each dc and in each ch-1 space.
3. Rnd 12: [3 dc in one stitch, skip 2, sc in next, skip 2] around for a light shell effect.
4. Rnd 13: Sc around.
5. Rnd 14: Repeat a simple eyelet or shell round as desired.

If you want the skirt to match the photo more closely, add a strip of real narrow lace by sewing it over the crochet rows. If you prefer an all-yarn finish, build the same visual effect with repeating shell rows, picot-inspired edges, and eyelet bands.

Poppy Border for Skirt

The hem decoration features one larger poppy at the center front, one medium bloom to the left, one medium bloom to the right, and several smaller blossoms filling the spaces. Crochet the flowers separately and sew them onto a green vine across the lower skirt.

Poppy Appliqués

Large Poppy Make 2

1. With black, 6 sc in MR. Join.
2. Change to coral.
3. Round petals: [Ch 2, 3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st in next stitch] 5 times.

Layer a second flower behind the first, offsetting the petals slightly, or add a second outer round with larger petals. Curl the petal edges gently with your fingers so the flower looks dimensional like the one on the hat and the center flower on the skirt.

Small Poppy Make 4 to 6

1. With black, 5 sc in MR. Join.
2. Change to coral.
3. [Ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st] in each stitch around.

Flatten lightly. Do not overwork the petals. The small blossoms in the image are simple and round, used as sweet fillers between the larger blooms.

Leaves and Vine

Make a long green chain to fit the lower front skirt curve. Surface-slip-stitch it in place or sew it down. Add small leaves worked as follows:

1. Ch 6.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.

Make several leaves in sage and muted green. Sew the flowers over the vine, placing the largest bloom slightly right of center, one medium flower on the left, and one small to medium blossom between them, just like the image balance.

Cloche Hat

The hat is a defining detail. It should sit low on the head with a rounded crown and a gently flared brim. Use blush yarn and keep the stitches very even.

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: [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 to 15: Sc around. (48)

Test the fit on the head. The crown should cover the top well and drop close to the eye line. Increase one extra round if your yarn is thinner. The hat in the image is roomy enough to cover the ear base but not oversized.

1. Rnd 16: In BLO, sc around. (48)
2. Rnd 17: [7 sc, inc] around. (54)
3. Rnd 18: Sc around. (54)
4. Rnd 19: [8 sc, inc] around. (60)
5. Rnd 20 to 22: Sc around. (60)

For a firmer brim, add a hidden strand of thin plastic canvas or millinery wire inside the last round. The brim should roll down softly rather than flare sharply. Sew a narrow coral band around the hat just above the brim fold line.

Attach one large layered poppy on the bunny’s left side of the hat, plus one leaf and a small dark center accent. The flower should sit slightly forward, not directly on the side seam.

Mini Purse

The purse is small, rounded, and blush colored with a curved flap and a short handle. It sits beside the bunny and matches the hat and shoes.

1. Base: 6 sc in MR, then increase to 24 stitches over four rounds.
2. Body: Work 5 rounds even in sc.
3. Flap: Attach yarn at back top edge, work 10 to 12 sc across in rows, decreasing at each end for 4 to 5 rows to form a rounded flap.
4. Handle: Ch 18 to 22, sc back along chain, sew to both upper sides.

Add a tiny clasp detail with a gold-tone button or embroidered circle. If you want the purse to stand better, slip a cardboard or plastic insert into the base before closing the inside seam.

Poppy Stems

Make two loose-stemmed poppies to place beside the purse. Each stem is a green chain wrapped with slip stitches. Add one leaf to each stem and sew on one flower head.

1. Stem: Ch 18 to 24, sl st back along chain.
2. Leaf: Work one or two leaves as described earlier.
3. Flower: Use the medium or large poppy style depending on your preferred scale.

For a display version, insert fine floral wire inside the stem so it can bend naturally on the table.

Hedgehog Companion

Head and Body Combined

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 to 8: Sc around. (24)

Insert 5 mm eyes between Rnds 6 and 7 with 6 to 7 stitches between them. Embroider a small dark nose centered low on the face. The face should be cute and compact. Do not make the snout long.

1. Rnd 9: [2 sc, dec] around. (18)
2. Rnd 10 to 12: Sc around. (18)
3. Rnd 13: [1 sc, inc] around. (27)
4. Rnd 14 to 17: Sc around. (27)
5. Rnd 18: [7 sc, dec] around. (24)
6. Rnd 19: Sc around. (24)
7. Rnd 20: [2 sc, dec] around. (18)

Stuff firmly and close. The companion should be squat and round, with a wide lower body and tiny visible feet underneath the skirt.

Spines

Using brown, attach yarn over the back half of the head and body. Work loop stitches or tiny bobble-like textured stitches across the back and sides, leaving the cream face fully visible. Keep the texture neat and close, like short curled spines.

Tiny Arms and Feet

Make four tiny tubes in cream, starting with 4 or 5 sc in MR and working 4 to 6 rounds. The feet can be slightly wider at the base. Sew the arms to the upper sides and the feet to the underside front.

Hedgehog Outfit

Make a short coral vest using the same method as the bunny vest but with fewer stitches. Add a tiny ivory skirt with one or two decorative rounds. The outfit should look like a miniature version, not a simplified unrelated garment.

Make a blush mini hat with a low brim and sew a small poppy to one side. Add a micro purse in blush and sew it to one hand or side. The finished hedgehog should clearly belong to the same set through color, texture, and flower details.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the bunny head to the body.
2. Attach the legs beneath the body, making sure the shoes face forward evenly.
3. Sew arms at the upper torso, angled slightly downward.
4. Attach ears to the head sides.
5. Sew on the collar.
6. Dress and secure the vest.
7. Work or attach the skirt.
8. Sew the skirt flowers and vine.
9. Place the hat on the head and tack it down with a few hidden stitches.
10. Complete the purse, poppy stems, and hedgehog companion.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the bunny from the front before securing the hat permanently. The eyes should remain visible beneath the brim, with the ears falling straight down. Adjust the collar so both rounded points show evenly under the vest neckline.

Refine the face with a tiny blush nose, short mouth, and gentle cheek shaping only if needed. A very small amount of pastel on the cheeks can soften the expression, but keep it light. The finished face should feel calm, sweet, and understated.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight.
• Do not hang the bunny by the hat or ears.
• Keep small accessories together if the set is used as decor.
• If giving as a gift for a child, securely fasten all embellishments and replace safety eyes with embroidery if needed.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Ears are long, soft, and even in length
• Vest is snug, textured, and centered
• Collar points show clearly above the vest
• Skirt flowers are balanced across the front hem

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust gently with a soft dry brush. Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap only when necessary. Do not soak pieces with stuffing, wire, cardboard inserts, or glued findings. Reshape while damp and air dry flat.

Store the set in a breathable cotton bag or a covered display cabinet. Avoid crushing the hat flower, skirt trim, and hedgehog spines. Tissue paper placed inside the hat and purse helps preserve their shape during storage.
