Chrysanthemum Parlor Bunny – Crochet

Chrysanthemum Parlor Bunny – Crochet

This elegant bunny and puppy set has a soft heirloom look with a boutique amigurumi feel. The outfit combines a powder blue beret, cropped jacket, fitted skirt, Mary Jane shoes, and dimensional flower trim, creating the kind of handmade collectible doll many shoppers look for when browsing amigurumi doll pattern, crochet bunny doll, and artisan nursery gift ideas.

The matching accessories make the set feel polished and gift-ready. A structured handbag, a tiny folded fan, a separate daisy flower, and a dressed corgi companion give this design the charm of a premium handmade toy set often searched as crochet animal doll set, handmade plush decor, and collectible crochet pet companion.

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 uses standard US crochet terms. The pieces are designed to closely match the image: a long-eared bunny with a rounded head, slim body, straight legs, soft drooping ears, a blue beret, a textured blue jacket, a fitted skirt decorated with raised chrysanthemums, blue shoes, a blue handbag, a folded fan, a loose daisy, and a small corgi in a coordinated outfit.

The shaping is intentionally neat and compact. Most pieces are worked in continuous rounds unless noted otherwise. Keep stitches tight so the stuffing does not show. The sample proportions work best when the bunny remains slim, the jacket sits short at the waist, and the floral trim stays dimensional rather than flat.

Materials

  • Main bunny color: light cream or warm ivory cotton yarn, DK or light worsted
  • Outfit color: dusty medium blue cotton yarn, DK or light worsted
  • Flower colors: white, soft butter yellow, golden yellow
  • Leaf color: muted sage green
  • Corgi colors: warm tan, white, dusty blue, tiny amount of black
  • Hook: 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm, choose the size that gives tight amigurumi fabric
  • Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
  • Safety eyes: 8 mm for bunny, 5 mm or 6 mm for corgi
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Thin cardboard or plastic canvas: optional for handbag base
  • Craft wire: optional for handbag handle if you want a firmer shape
  • Small button bead: optional for corgi cap accent

Gauge and Finished Size

Gauge is not critical, but consistency matters. With DK cotton and a 2.5 mm hook, the bunny stands about 9 to 10 inches tall from feet to beret top. The corgi is about 3 inches long. The handbag is about 2 inches wide. The folded fan is small enough to sit beside the doll without overpowering it.

If your stitches are loose, size down your hook. The image shows a firm, refined fabric with very little visible gap between stitches, so a dense gauge is important for the polished result.

  • The jacket is cropped and open at the center front.
  • The skirt sits high on the waist and falls straight with slight flare.
  • The flowers are layered and sewn on separately.
  • The corgi should be low, compact, and slightly forward-facing.

  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc 1, inc) around. (18)

Insert safety eyes between Rounds 11 and 12 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes should sit low on the face and slightly wide, matching the gentle expression in the image.

Begin stuffing. Shape the cheeks softly with extra stuffing in the lower front half.

  1. Round 21: (sc 3, dec) around. (24)
  2. Round 22: (sc 2, dec) around. (18)
  3. Round 23: (sc 1, dec) around. (12)

Facial Detail

Use a small amount of dusty rose, light brown, or muted pink embroidery thread for the nose and mouth. The nose is tiny and centered, shaped like a very small horizontal triangle. Stitch it between Rounds 12 and 13.

For the mouth, bring the thread down from the nose center and form a short inverted Y. Keep it delicate. The expression in the image is minimal, clean, and sweet, so avoid large stitched features or blush that would distract from the calm face.

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

  10. Rounds 22-26: sc around. (12 each round)

Flatten each ear. Do not stuff, except optionally a tiny pinch at the base only. Fasten off with a long tail. The finished ears should drape down from beneath the beret and end near the upper body.

Make 2 in blue.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc 1, inc) around. (18)

Fasten off. Place each shoe on the foot and sew around the BLO edge from Round 4 so the cream leg remains visible above the shoe.

For the strap, join blue yarn at one side of the shoe opening, ch 6 to 7 depending on your tension, skip across the opening, and sew to the other side. The strap should create a neat Mary Jane look with the center of the foot left visible.

Skirt

Make 1 in blue. The skirt is worked from the waist downward and should fit snugly over the lower torso.

  1. Round 1: Ch 24, join carefully without twisting. (24)

  9. Round 16: sl st loosely around for a crisp lower edge.

Fasten off. Slide the skirt onto the bunny and position it high on the waist. Sew it in place with small hidden stitches. The skirt in the image is straight, lightly structured, and not heavily flared.

Jacket

Make 1 in blue. Work from the neckline downward in rows so the front stays open.

  1. Row 1: Ch 26. Starting in second ch from hook, sc 25. Turn.
  2. Row 2: sc 4, ch 1, skip 1, sc 5, ch 1, skip 1, sc 9, ch 1, skip 1, sc 5, ch 1, skip 1, sc 4. Turn.
  3. Row 3: sc across, placing 1 sc in each ch-1 space. Turn.
  4. Rows 4-6: sc across. Turn.

Now divide for sleeves and body.

  1. Row 7: sc 4, skip next armhole section, sc across back, skip next armhole section, sc last 4. Turn.
  2. Rows 8-12: sc across body section. Turn.

The jacket should stop just above the skirt waistband and remain slightly open at the center front. Fasten off body.

For each sleeve, join yarn at armhole.

  1. Round 1: evenly work 12 sc around sleeve opening. (12)
  2. Rounds 2-8: sc around. (12 each round)
  3. Round 9: sl st around loosely.

Fasten off. Sew the jacket to the shoulders and upper sides of the body if needed so it sits smooth and close to the figure. The image shows a compact jacket with gentle volume in the sleeves, not oversized.

Beret

Make 1 in blue. This piece is important to the overall look, so keep the fabric smooth and shape the crown carefully.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc 1, inc) around. (18)
  4. Round 4: (sc 2, inc) around. (24)
  5. Round 5: (sc 3, inc) around. (30)

  7. Round 7: (sc 5, inc) around. (42)
  8. Round 8: (sc 6, inc) around. (48)
  9. Round 9: (sc 7, inc) around. (54)
  10. Round 10: (sc 8, inc) around. (60)
  11. Rounds 11-14: sc around. (60 each round)
  12. Round 15: BLO (sc 8, dec) around. (54)
  13. Round 16: sc around. (54)
  14. Round 17: (sc 7, dec) around. (48)
  15. Round 18: sc around. (48)
  16. Round 19: (sc 6, dec) around. (42)
  17. Round 20: sc around. (42)

Try the beret on the head. If needed, adjust by adding or removing one decrease round. The hat should sit low and wide.

For the little top nub, join yarn at the center crown, ch 3, sl st in second ch from hook, sl st in next ch, sl st back into crown. Fasten off.

Gently steam or finger-shape the beret so one side slouches slightly downward, just like the image.

Chrysanthemum Flowers

The outfit features layered flowers in white and golden yellow with small sage leaves. Make enough flowers to decorate both jacket fronts and the skirt.

Large Flower in white or pale cream, make 6 to 8.

  1. Round 1: 8 sc in MR. Join with sl st.
  2. Round 2: In each stitch work: ch 4, sl st in second ch from hook, hdc in next, dc in next, sl st in next stitch.

This creates narrow pointed petals. After one full round, fasten off and shape petals outward. For fuller flowers, make a second layer behind the first by working into remaining loops or making a second flower and stacking it.

Small Round Flower in golden yellow, make 4 to 5.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. Join.
  2. Round 2: In each stitch work: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st in same stitch.

This makes a puffier petal cluster. Curl the petals slightly inward with your fingers so the flower looks dense and compact like the yellow blossoms in the image.

Flower Centers

  • For white flowers, embroider or sew a tiny pale yellow center.
  • For yellow flowers, no separate center is needed.

Leaves in sage green, make 10 to 12.

  1. Ch 5.
  2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sl st in last ch.
  3. Work on the opposite side of the chain: hdc, sc, sl st.

Fasten off, leaving a sewing tail.

Flower Placement

Arrange the embellishments before sewing. The image shows two clustered floral groups on the jacket front and several clusters around the skirt hem.

  • On the left jacket front, place one large white flower above and one golden flower below, with a second pale flower behind.
  • On the right jacket front, mirror the same arrangement.
  • On the skirt, place clusters near the left front, center-right front, and right side.
  • Tuck one or two leaves beneath each main cluster.

Sew only through the flower centers so the petals remain lifted and dimensional. Slight overlap between flowers gives the arrangement the lush look shown in the image.

Handbag

Make 2 body panels and 1 side strip in blue.

Front and Back Panels, make 2.

  1. Ch 11.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 10. Turn.
  3. Rows 2-8: sc across. Turn.
  4. Row 9: dec, sc 6, dec. Turn. (8)
  5. Row 10: sc across. Turn.
  6. Row 11: dec, sc 4, dec. Turn. (6)
  7. Row 12: sc across.

Handle

  1. Ch 16.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (15)
  3. Row 2: sc across.

Sew handle ends securely to the top sides of the bag so it arches upward. The handle should be rounded and sturdy, not floppy.

Folded Fan

Make 1 in cream and blue.

  1. With cream, ch 9.
  2. Row 1: 8 sc. Turn.
  3. Row 2: dec, sc 4, dec. Turn. (6)
  4. Row 3: dec, sc 2, dec. Turn. (4)
  5. Row 4: sc across.

Fasten off cream. Add a blue edging around the curved side only. Work tiny shell accents in cream or white along the outer top edge if desired. Sew a few straight embroidery lines from the base outward to suggest folded fan ribs.

Loose Daisy

Make 1 separate daisy for display.

Center in yellow:

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

Fasten off.

Petals in white:

  1. Join white yarn to any stitch.
  2. For each petal: ch 6, sl st in second ch from hook, sc, hdc, dc, sl st in same base stitch.
  3. Repeat around for 10 to 12 petals.

Fasten off. The petals should be long and narrow, radiating evenly around the yellow center.

  7. Round 9: sc around. (22)
  8. Round 10: sc 7, dec, sc 4, dec, sc 7. (20)
  9. Rounds 11-13: sc around. (20 each round)

Insert eyes between Rounds 6 and 7 with 6 to 7 stitches between them. Embroider a black nose low on the muzzle area. Stuff firmly.

Create the back end by continuing:

  1. Round 14: sc 8, dec, sc 8, dec. (18)
  2. Round 15: sc around. (18)
  3. Round 16: dec around. (9)

Fasten off and close.

Corgi Muzzle and Face Markings

With white yarn, embroider or surface-crochet a white muzzle patch beneath the eyes and a white blaze running upward between the eyes. Add white on the lower face and chest to match the image. The contrast should be clean and soft, not sharply angular.

Corgi Ears

Make 2 in tan.

  1. Round 1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (8)
  3. Round 3: sc around. (8)

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: sc around. (6)
  3. Round 3: change color as needed, sc around. (6)
  4. Rounds 4-5: sc around. (6 each round)

Stuff lightly and sew under the body. The corgi sits low, so keep the legs short.

  2. Rounds 2-4: sc around. (4 each round)

Fasten off and sew at the back. Curve it slightly upward.

  2. Row 1: sc 11. Turn.
  3. Rows 2-5: sc across. Turn.
  4. Row 6: dec, sc 7, dec. Turn. (9)

Assembly Order

  1. Sew bunny head to body.
  2. Sew ears to the sides of the head, slightly behind eye level.
  3. Place beret over the head and tack it in a slightly tilted position.
  4. Sew arms to the body at shoulder level.
  5. Attach shoes if not already sewn in place.
  6. Slide on and secure skirt.
  7. Fit jacket and sew discreetly at shoulders and sides.
  8. Arrange and sew flower clusters and leaves.
  9. Assemble handbag, fan, and daisy.
  10. Assemble corgi and dress it in coat and cap.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the bunny stands straight and the head faces forward. Adjust the ears so they fall evenly beneath the beret. Re-shape the beret with your fingers so the left or right side slouches softly. Add any final tiny stitches around the nose and mouth only if needed. Keep the face simple, calm, and sweet.

Care Notes

Display pieces stay nicest when handled gently. Cotton yarn holds shape well, but the flowers and small accessories look best when they are not crushed. Store the handbag, fan, and daisy beside the doll rather than tightly attached if the set will be used as decor.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head centered and firmly attached
  • Ears even and softly draped
  • Beret tilted and secured
  • Skirt straight at the waist
  • Jacket front open and balanced
  • Flower clusters attached through centers only
  • Shoe straps even
  • Corgi face markings symmetrical
  • Accessories scaled neatly to the doll

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not twist or wring. Pat away moisture with a towel and reshape while damp. Lay flat to dry away from direct sun. For long-term storage, keep the set in a dry container with tissue around the flowers and hat so the dimensional details keep their shape.
