Clematis Window Bunny – Crochet

Clematis Window Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi set brings together a soft bunny doll, a tiny cat friend, a pastel outfit, and garden accessories in a collectible handmade style that crochet toy lovers often search for when browsing for an amigurumi bunny doll, stuffed rabbit decor, or heirloom nursery gift.

The design blends a floral dress, a rounded cloche hat, a mini backpack, a watering can, and a flower pot into one coordinated spring set. It also fits naturally into search-friendly handmade terms like crochet bunny plush, artisan doll gift, and cottagecore toy set for buyers and makers alike.

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

Materials

  • Main yarn: Light beige for bunny head, body, arms, legs, ears, hat crown, shoes, watering can base tone, and backpack base.
  • Accent yarn 1: Soft lavender for hat brim edging, cardigan trim, flower petals, buds, shoe flowers, cat skirt stripe, and decorative floral accents.
  • Accent yarn 2: Sage green for leaves, vine embroidery, dress colorwork areas, backpack panel stripes, and shoe detail.
  • Accent yarn 3: Cream or warm off-white for dress base, cardigan, cat muzzle, and watering can striping.
  • Accent yarn 4: Pale tan or caramel for cat head, cat body, and cat hat band area.
  • Accent yarn 5: Dusty pink or blush for noses and inner floral touches.
  • Accent yarn 6: Brown for flower pot soil top.
  • Terracotta yarn: For the flower pot.
  • Hook: Choose a hook one or two sizes smaller than the yarn label suggests so the stitches stay tight. For most sport or DK cotton yarn, a 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm hook works well.

  • Safety eyes: 8 mm for the bunny, 6 mm for the cat, or embroider eyes if preferred.
  • Tapestry needle for sewing and embroidery.
  • Stitch markers to track rounds.
  • Small buttons: One tiny brown button for the backpack flap.
  • Thin craft wire, optional: Only if you want a firmer handle and spout shape in the watering can. Skip for child-safe makes.

Design Notes

This set is built to match the image closely, with a large round bunny head, slim arms, long soft ears, a bell-shaped dress, a short open cardigan, ankle-height shoes, and a low cloche-style hat. The floral trims are important because they define the personality of the finished set.

Use firm tension throughout. Stuff the bunny head very well so the face stays smooth and round. Keep the body slightly lighter in stuffing so the dress sits naturally. Flatten the ears gently instead of stuffing them heavily. This helps them drape downward just like the sample.

Many small details are added after the base crochet is finished. That includes the hat flower, hat buds, leaves, dress vines, raised flower buds, the shoe blossoms, and the cat hat flower. These finishing details are what make the set look complete.

Stuff firmly. Embroider a tiny horizontal triangle nose in blush or pale brown between rnd 15 and 16. Add one short stitch downward from the center and one tiny angled stitch to each side for a subtle resting smile.

  1. Rnd 24: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30
  2. Rnd 25: (3 sc, dec) x 6. 24
  3. Rnd 26: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18

Bunny Ears Make 2

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

  7. Rnd 17: (3 sc, dec) x 3. 12
  8. Rnd 18 to 25: sc around. 12

Flatten the opening and stitch closed. Do not stuff, or add only a trace of stuffing at the base. Sew the ears to the sides of the head slightly behind the eye line so they hang straight down beneath the hat brim.

Bunny Arms Make 2

  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: (2 sc, dec) x 3. 9
  5. Rnd 7 to 16: sc around. 9

Stuff only the lower half so the arms stay softly curved. Flatten the top and sew later. The arms in the image angle gently outward and slightly downward, so avoid overstuffing.

Bunny Legs Make 2

  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 to 6: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 7: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. 14
  6. Rnd 8 to 10: sc around. 14
  7. Rnd 11: (5 sc, dec) x 2. 12
  8. Rnd 12 to 18: sc around. 12

Stuff firmly at the foot and lightly up the leg. Leave a long tail for sewing. Make sure both feet point forward evenly so the doll stands balanced when supported by the wide skirt.

Bunny Body

The body is shaped as a compact torso that supports the dress. Start at the neck and widen gradually toward the lower body. Keep the stuffing moderate so the dress overlay can sit smoothly.

  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 7: sc around. 24
  6. Rnd 8: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30
  7. Rnd 9 to 11: sc around. 30
  8. Rnd 12: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
  9. Rnd 13 to 15: sc around. 36

Stuff the body as you go. Sew the legs to the lower body, close together in front, so the dress falls around them. Sew the head securely to the neck. Add the arms just below the neck line, angled outward as in the photo.

Bunny Dress Base

The dress in the image has a rounded, flared silhouette. The upper chest shows pale green and lavender accents, while the skirt is mainly cream with soft green striping and floral vines across the lower front.

Join cream yarn to the body at the waist area. Work in joined or continuous rounds, depending on your preference, but keep increases evenly spaced so the skirt spreads smoothly.

  1. Rnd 1: In FLO around waist, work 36 sc. 36
  2. Rnd 2: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. 42
  4. Rnd 4: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
  5. Rnd 5: sc around. 48
  6. Rnd 6: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
  7. Rnd 7: sc around. 54
  8. Rnd 8: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
  9. Rnd 9 to 12: sc around. 60

For the lower skirt texture seen in the image, switch to hdc for two rounds, then back to sc. Add one or two thin sage stripes and one lavender stripe near the hem. Finish with a lavender edging round in sl st or sc.

Upper Dress Color Accents

Across the front chest, embroider or surface-crochet soft green patches and a central vine rising upward. Add one small lavender bud at the center chest and another lower on the skirt. These accents should look organic rather than perfectly symmetrical.

Skirt Floral Decoration

  • Surface-crochet thin sage vines around the lower half of the skirt.
  • Place larger open flowers near the hemline, mostly in lavender.
  • Add small spiral buds in lavender at the vine joints.
  • Use pale yellow or cream for tiny flower centers.
  • Add paired leaves in sage beside several flowers and buds.

The image shows the heaviest floral detail near the hem and lower front. Keep the upper skirt cleaner so the composition matches the reference balance.

Cardigan

The cardigan is short, cream-colored, and open in the front with lavender edging. It covers the shoulders only and stops above the waist. The sleeves are very short, almost cap sleeves with a hint of green at the shoulder.

Back Panel

  1. Ch 16.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 15 sc.
  3. Row 2 to 6: ch 1, turn, 15 sc.

Front Panels Make 2

  1. Ch 8.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 7 sc.
  3. Row 2 to 6: ch 1, turn, 7 sc.

Sew the front panels to the back at the shoulders, leaving a neck opening. Add tiny underarm seams. Crochet one short round of sc around each armhole in sage to create the soft shoulder accent visible in the image.

Then work one full edging round in lavender around the cardigan front opening, lower edge, and neckline. Lightly steam or shape so the front edges curl gently outward at the bottom.

Hat

The hat is a low cloche with a beige crown and soft lavender brim edging. It sits snugly over the head and rests just above the eyes, while still allowing the long ears to fall from underneath.

  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 to 13: sc around. 48
  10. Rnd 14: BLO sc around. 48
  11. Rnd 15: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
  12. Rnd 16: sc around. 54
  13. Rnd 17: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
  14. Rnd 18: sc around. 60

Finish the brim with one lavender round of sl st or reverse sc. The brim should tilt slightly downward all around, not flare dramatically.

Hat Flower and Buds

  • Main flower: Make one 5-petal flower in lavender. Start with 5 sc in MR. In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
  • Center: Embroider a small cream or pale yellow center.
  • Buds: Make two tiny lavender oval buds with 4 sc in MR, then 1 round of sc.
  • Leaves: Crochet 3 to 4 narrow sage leaves using a foundation ch of 6 and working sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc on both sides.

Arrange the flower on the left side of the hat. Place one bud above and one near the flower. Tuck the leaves beneath so the decoration sweeps diagonally across the brim edge, matching the image.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are ankle-high and rounded, with cream as the main shade, soft sage striping, lavender trim, and a tiny lavender flower at the front strap area.

  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 to 5: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. 14
  6. Rnd 7: sc around in cream. 14
  7. Rnd 8: sc around in sage. 14
  8. Rnd 9: sc around in cream. 14

For the ankle opening, stop after a partial round and work 3 short rows to create a slightly higher back edge. Add a lavender trim around the opening. Embroider a tiny strap effect across the front and sew a small lavender flower with two sage leaves.

Mini Backpack

The backpack is compact and boxy with a rounded flap, cream body, sage striping, lavender front pocket, side straps, and a small button closure. It should look decorative rather than fully functional.

Body

  1. Make an oval base: ch 8. Work around both sides to form 18 sts.
  2. Work 4 rounds sc around with no increases for depth.
  3. Change colors in soft stripes of cream and sage for another 4 to 5 rounds.

Front Pocket

  • Ch 7, work 6 sc for 4 rows.
  • Add a lavender top band.
  • Sew to the front lower area.

Flap and Straps

  • For the flap, ch 10 and work short rows, decreasing at the sides to make a rounded top.
  • Edge the flap neatly and sew it to the upper back.
  • Add two narrow shoulder straps and one top loop.
  • Sew a small brown button to the front center.

Flower Pot with Sprout

The pot is terracotta with a dark soil top and a tiny green sprout. Keep it simple and clean because it is a very small prop in the set.

Pot

  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: BLO sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 5 to 7: sc around. 18
  6. Rnd 8: (sc, dec) x 6. 12
  7. Rnd 9: switch to terracotta, FLO inc around for rim flare. 24
  8. Rnd 10: sc around. 24

Make a brown soil circle to fit inside the top. Add one tiny sprout stem with two small green leaves. Insert lightly stuffed or flat cardboard-supported soil if you want the top to stay flat.

Watering Can

The watering can is rounded and soft, worked in cream with subtle pale stripes. It has a small top opening, a curved handle, and a short spout with a slightly flared end.

Main Body

  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 to 6: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 7: (sc, dec) x 6. 12

Lightly stuff. Create the top neck by joining yarn near the top center and working a small ring of 8 to 10 sc for two rounds. For the spout, chain 6, then work back along the chain and around it for a narrow tube. Sew at an upward angle.

For the handle, chain 10 to 12, then work one return row of sc. Sew both ends securely to the body. Add a tiny pale stripe if desired. Keep the overall shape soft and slightly rounded, as shown.

Cat Doll

The cat companion is small, tan, and dressed to coordinate with the bunny. It has pointy ears, a cream muzzle, a tiny blush nose, a lavender-and-sage skirt, and a matching hat with a flower.

Cat Head

  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: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18

Insert 6 mm eyes between rnd 6 and 7. Sew on a small cream muzzle oval and embroider a tiny pink nose. Close the head after stuffing.

Cat Ears Make 2

  • Rnd 1: 4 sc in MR.
  • Rnd 2: inc around. 8
  • Rnd 3: sc around.

Flatten slightly and sew to the top of the head with a gentle outward angle.

Cat Body

  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 to 7: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 8: (sc, dec) x 6. 12

Add tiny arms and legs as simple tubes of 6 to 8 stitches around. Keep the limbs short and rounded. Add a small skirt by working into the waist with one round in sage, one round in lavender with increases, and one final cream or lavender edging round.

Cat Hat

Make a shallow mini hat like the bunny hat but smaller. Add one lavender flower and one sage leaf on the side. The hat sits slightly tilted in the image, which gives the cat a playful look.

Assembly Layout

  • Sew bunny head to body first and check forward balance.
  • Add ears so they fall beneath the hat naturally.
  • Sew arms after the cardigan is in place if you want easier positioning.
  • Dress vines and flowers should be attached before final steaming.
  • Place the hat low enough to frame the face but not hide the eyes.
  • Set the backpack beside the bunny rather than wearing it, matching the image.
  • Arrange the pot and watering can as front props.
  • Place the cat on the bunny’s right side for the finished display composition.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sculpt the bunny face only lightly if needed by pulling a thread under each eye for gentle depth. Keep the cheeks smooth and soft. The nose should remain very small, centered, and neat. Avoid adding extra mouth width, because the reference expression is quiet and minimal.

Check that the cardigan edges curl slightly outward, the dress flares evenly, and the hat decoration sits to the left side. The cat face should also stay simple, with a tiny nose, a rounded muzzle, and evenly set eyes.

Care Notes

  • Spot clean whenever possible.
  • Use cool water and mild soap for hand washing.
  • Do not wring the pieces.
  • Reshape while damp and let dry flat.
  • Keep decorative props stored together so the set stays complete.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Are the bunny eyes level and evenly spaced?
  • Do both ears hang at the same height?
  • Is the skirt flare balanced all around?
  • Are the floral vines concentrated near the lower skirt?
  • Does the hat brim sit low and rounded?
  • Do the shoes face forward evenly?
  • Are the backpack button and flap centered?
  • Does the cat coordinate in color with the bunny set?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the set away from direct sunlight to protect the pale colors. If displaying for long periods, dust gently with a soft dry brush. Avoid hanging the bunny by the hat or ears. For archival storage, wrap each piece in clean tissue and place it in a breathable box.

If the flowers or leaves flatten over time, reshape them with slightly damp fingers and allow them to air dry. Avoid high heat, harsh detergents, and rough friction so the stitches stay crisp and the embroidered details remain clear.
