This charming amigurumi set features a gentle bunny dressed in a cranberry red winter outfit with plush white trim, a soft cloche hat, a tied capelet, a small shoulder bag, and matching shoes. It has the look of a handmade crochet doll you might search for as a nursery gift, collectible bunny plush, or artisan holiday décor piece.
The design also includes three tiny companion accents that make the display feel complete: a miniature badger doll, a small pumpkin, and a striped candy cane. Together, they create a polished handmade set with strong giftable appeal for shoppers looking for amigurumi animals, seasonal crochet décor, and boutique-style soft toys.
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 closely match the image. The bunny has a rounded cream head, long floppy ears, a softly shaped body, short arms, straight legs, and a balanced standing pose. The clothing is built as separate pieces so the finished set keeps the same layered appearance seen in the picture.
The overall look depends on proportion. The head is large but not oversized, the body is compact and slightly bell-shaped under the dress, and the legs are short enough to make the bunny appear sweet and grounded. The hat sits low on the forehead, and the cape rests just above the waist.
The plush trim is essential. It appears around the lower edge of the dress and along the cape edges. To achieve the visual softness, use a fluffy eyelash yarn or faux-fur style trim yarn together with your regular working yarn where instructed, or sew it on afterward in a careful surface edging.
Skill Level
Intermediate. A confident beginner can still make this set if they are patient with shaping, sewing, and small details.

Bunny Head
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
- Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
- Round 8: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
- Rounds 9 to 18: sc around. (48)
Place the eyes between Rounds 11 and 12 with about 8 visible stitches between them. In the image, the eyes are glossy, round, and slightly wide-set, giving the bunny an innocent, calm expression. Before securing them permanently, check that the ears will later fall just outside the eye line.
Begin stuffing firmly but not hard. The head should be smooth and rounded, without a pointed crown or squared cheeks. Lightly shape the muzzle area outward with your fingers while stuffing so the front of the face stays soft and subtly full.
- Round 19: (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
- Round 20: (5 sc, dec) around. (36)
- Round 21: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
- Round 22: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
Fasten off with a long tail if sewing the head to the body later. If you prefer a joined construction, leave the head open and continue directly into the neck after making the body top separately. The photo reads best with a defined neck area, so separate construction usually gives cleaner shaping.
Facial Features
The nose is tiny and centered. It is worked in a small triangular shape using a few stitches of blush beige or dusty pink yarn. Embroider it two rounds below the eye line, keeping it narrow and neat. From the lower point of the triangle, add a short vertical stitch downward.
Do not add an oversized mouth. The face in the image is very simple. The gentle power of the expression comes from clean placement, not many details. You may lightly indent the eye area with thread sculpting, but keep it subtle so the face remains soft and childlike.
Bunny Ears Make 2
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4 to 7: sc around. (18)
- Round 8: (4 sc, dec) around. (15)
- Rounds 9 to 18: sc around. (15)
- Round 19: (3 sc, dec) around. (12)
- Rounds 20 to 26: sc around. (12)
Flatten the open end. Do not heavily stuff the ears. They should remain soft and floppy, with only the upper section holding a little shape. If desired, place a trace of stuffing only in the top third. The ears in the image hang straight down from beneath the hat brim and frame the face gently.
When sewing, attach the ears high on the sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line. Angle them downward so they fall close to the cheeks. They should not stick out sideways. The ear length should reach to about shoulder level or slightly below once the hat is in place.
Bunny Body
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
- Rounds 7 to 10: sc around. (36)
- Round 11: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
- Rounds 12 to 15: sc around. (30)
- Round 16: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
- Rounds 17 to 19: sc around. (24)
Stuff the body evenly. It should be firm at the lower half so the bunny can sit or stand supported in display, but not shaped like a hard cylinder. The upper body should be slightly slimmer to fit under the cape and to keep the neck transition graceful.
Fasten off with a long tail. Leave the lower edge slightly flat rather than fully rounded. This helps the dress fall better and gives the doll the grounded look seen in the picture.
Legs Make 2
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc around. (12)
- Round 4: (2 sc, dec) around. (9)
- Rounds 5 to 13: sc around. (9)
Stuff lightly to moderately. The legs are slim and straight. They should not bow outward. Leave a long tail for sewing. When attached, they hang directly beneath the dress and show a small gap between them. The cream legs remain visible between the hem and the shoes.

Arms Make 2
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: (sc, inc) around. (9)
- Rounds 3 to 4: sc around. (9)
- Round 5: (sc, dec) around. (6)
- Rounds 6 to 12: sc around. (6)
Stuff only the hand area and leave the upper arm soft. Flatten the opening and sew the arms to the upper sides of the body. They should sit low enough to peek from beneath the cape, with only the cream hands clearly visible near the sides of the dress.
Joining the Bunny Base
Sew the head to the body securely. Make sure the face points forward with no tilt. Attach the arms evenly. Sew the legs so they hang straight and the feet point slightly forward. Before fastening off, place the dress body tube over the body if needed to confirm the final proportions still match the image.
Dress
The dress is cranberry red, full, and simple, with the texture of even single crochet. It has a gentle A-line shape and sits just below the knees. The lower edge is finished with plush white trim, which gives the outfit its winter storybook look.
You may work the dress from the top down in joined rounds. For a cleaner fit, test the starting chain around your bunny body before continuing.
- Chain enough to fit around the upper torso snugly, join without twisting. A common count may be 24 to 30 stitches depending on your yarn and bunny size.
- Round 1: sc evenly around.
- Rounds 2 to 4: sc around.
- Round 5: increase lightly and evenly around to begin the skirt flare.
- Rounds 6 to 10: sc around.
- Round 11: increase lightly and evenly around.
- Rounds 12 to 16: sc around.
- Round 17: optional final increase round for a fuller hem.
- Rounds 18 to 20: sc around.
The dress in the image looks fairly thick and structured, not lacy. Avoid openwork. Keep the stitches compact. The neckline stays hidden under the cape, so the upper dress can remain plain. The hem should sit low and wide enough to read as a coat-like dress without becoming oversized.
Dress Trim
Join white fluffy yarn to the bottom edge and work a soft decorative edging all around. If the yarn is difficult to see, use your fingers instead of your eyes to locate stitches. A simple single crochet edging is enough. The goal is fullness, not precision.
If your trim yarn is very bulky, sew it around the hem instead of crocheting it directly. The trim should form a clean white band that is visible from the front and sides. In the image, this trim is plush and slightly fuzzy rather than sharply structured.
Capelet
The capelet is one of the most important parts of the design. It rests over the shoulders, ends above the waistline, opens in the front, and is finished with plush trim along the outer lower edge. It is tied or decorated at the neckline with a large cranberry bow.
You can work it in short rows or as a semicircular collar piece.
- Chain a length that sits around the neck and upper shoulders.
- Row 1: sc across, ch 1, turn.
- Rows 2 to 4: sc across.
- Row 5: increase at both ends and at a few evenly spaced points.
- Rows 6 to 8: sc across.
- Row 9: repeat gentle increases.
- Rows 10 to 12: sc across.
Do not make the cape too long. It should fall just over the upper arms and end around the upper waist area. The front edges part to reveal the center of the dress. The shoulders should look rounded and smooth, not stiff or wing-like.
Cape Trim
Add white fluffy trim only where it appears in the image: along the outer lower edge of each cape side. Keep the neckline plain because the bow sits there and needs a clean base. The trim should sweep upward slightly toward the front opening.
Cape Bow
Make a bow by crocheting a small rectangle in cranberry yarn, wrapping the center tightly with yarn, and sewing it at the top front opening of the cape. The bow should be full and neat, with two rounded loops and short tails beneath. It is a central visual detail, so take time shaping it.
- Chain 10 to 14 depending on scale
- Work several rows of sc to form a compact rectangle
- Wrap center tightly with yarn
- Sew to neckline center

Cloche Hat
The hat is rounded at the crown with a downward bell shape and a softly rolled brim. It sits low and frames the upper face. The brim is not wide. It curves outward just enough to create the vintage silhouette shown in the image.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
- Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
- Rounds 8 to 14: sc around. (42)
- Round 15: work in BLO for a gentle turning point.
- Rounds 16 to 18: sc around.
- Round 19: add a few evenly spaced increases for the brim.
- Round 20: sc around.
Try the hat on the head before fastening off. It should cover the top of the forehead and sit over the base of the ears, which are tucked beneath it. The lower edge may naturally curl a little. That slight roll is useful because it matches the image well.
Shoulder Bag
The bunny carries a tiny cranberry shoulder bag worn crossbody from one shoulder to the opposite side. The body of the bag is rounded and small, with a subtle flap. The strap is narrow and should lie close to the body, not float away from it.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc around in BLO. (12)
- Rounds 4 to 5: sc around. (12)
- Flatten and close top with a short seam or flap.
For the flap, crochet a tiny semicircle or folded tab and sew it over the top front. For the strap, chain enough to cross the bunny’s body diagonally. Work back along the chain with slip stitches or single crochet to make it stronger. Sew both ends securely.
Shoes Make 2
The shoes are cranberry red and rounded, with a sweet strap across the top. They resemble tiny Mary Jane shoes and are an important styling detail. They should cover the feet cleanly and sit flat on the table surface.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc around in BLO. (12)
- Round 4: sc around. (12)
- Round 5: 4 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc. (10)
- Round 6: sc around. (10)
Fasten off and shape around the foot. For the strap, join yarn at one side, chain a short bridge over the top opening, and sew to the other side. The strap should be visible from the front. Make both shoes symmetrical and aligned evenly on the legs.
Miniature Badger
The small badger companion stands beside the bunny and adds character to the scene. It has a rounded head with a white face, black side stripes, small black ears, a green sweater, brown trousers, and tiny black feet. Keep the features simple and cute rather than realistic.
Badger Head
- Round 1: 6 sc in white in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Rounds 5 to 8: sc around. (24)
Insert tiny black eyes between the middle rounds. The badger’s face has black sections running from the top toward the eyes and cheeks. You can create this with color changes while crocheting or embroider the black markings afterward for better control.
- Round 9: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
- Round 10: (sc, dec) around. (12)
- Round 11: dec around. (6)
Stuff lightly and close. Embroider a tiny black nose centered low on the face.
Badger Ears Make 2
- Round 1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
- Round 2: inc around. (8)
Flatten slightly and sew at the top sides of the head.

Badger Body
Work the trousers and sweater as color-blocked sections in one piece.
- Round 1: 6 sc in brown in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4 to 5: sc around in brown. (18)
- Rounds 6 to 8: change to green, sc around. (18)
- Round 9: (sc, dec) around. (12)
- Round 10: sc around. (12)
Stuff and sew the head on top.
Badger Arms Make 2
- Round 1: 4 sc in black in MR. (4)
- Round 2: change to green and sc around. (4)
- Rounds 3 to 5: sc around. (4)
Sew the arms to the body sides.
Badger Legs Make 2
- Round 1: 4 sc in black in MR. (4)
- Round 2: change to brown and sc around. (4)
- Rounds 3 to 5: sc around. (4)
Sew the legs underneath. The badger should be short and sturdy, with a slightly oversized head. It should stand lower than the bunny’s knee height.
Mini Pumpkin
The tiny pumpkin at the bunny’s feet is pale peach with soft vertical shaping and a green stem tied at the top. It is very small but still clearly pumpkin-like. This accessory adds seasonal balance to the composition, so do not skip it.
- Round 1: 6 sc in peach in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4 to 5: sc around. (18)
- Round 6: (sc, dec) around. (12)
- Round 7: dec around. (6)
Stuff lightly. Close the opening. Use a length of matching yarn to wrap and indent the pumpkin vertically in several sections, pulling gently from top to bottom to create lobes. Finish with a small green stem and a few short green loops or stitches for leaf-like detail.
Candy Cane
The candy cane is slender and striped in white and cranberry red. It lies in front of the bunny and should look delicate. Use a tiny hook and firm stitches so the shape remains crisp. You may insert a fine pipe cleaner inside if needed, but a tightly worked piece often holds the curve on its own.
- With white, chain a short length for the cane.
- Work back with slip stitches or single crochet.
- Change to cranberry for a few stitches.
- Alternate white and cranberry sections to create stripes.
- Curve the top into a hook shape and tack with a few hidden stitches if needed.
Another option is to crochet a thin white tube, lightly stuff with yarn tails, and wrap cranberry yarn diagonally around it. This method can give a cleaner striped finish at miniature scale.
Proportion and Styling Checks
- The hat should be wider than the top of the head but not dramatically floppy.
- The ears should extend below the hat and fall alongside the face.
- The cape should end above the middle of the dress.
- The dress hem should be broad and trimmed in white.
- The bag should sit on one side of the bunny, not centered.
- The shoes should look rounded and slightly chunky.
- The badger should be noticeably smaller but still detailed.
- The pumpkin and candy cane should be tiny finishing accents.

Tips for a Clean Finish
- Use invisible decreases wherever possible.
- Keep color changes neat on the inside.
- Stuff the head firmly enough to support the hat.
- Shape the dress and cape with your hands before final photos or display.
- Take extra time with the bow because it defines the front view.
- Hide all tails securely so the set looks polished from every angle.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
After all pieces are attached, place the hat so it sits low and slightly forward. Check that both ears hang evenly beneath it. Adjust the cape so the bow rests at the center of the neck and the trimmed edges mirror each other. The shoulder bag should cross the body naturally and rest against one side.
Review the face closely. The eyes should be even, glossy, and calm. The nose should remain small and centered. If desired, add tiny white highlights near the eyes with thread for extra softness, but keep the facial detailing minimal so the bunny preserves the simple expression shown in the image.
Care Notes
- Display indoors away from strong sunlight.
- Keep white trim away from dust when possible.
- Spot clean gently with a barely damp cloth.
- Avoid machine washing if the set includes safety eyes or shaped accessories.
- Store flat or upright in a clean, dry place.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Hat centered and sitting low
- Ears even and floppy
- Bow neatly shaped
- Cape trim balanced on both sides
- Dress hem trimmed in white
- Bag attached diagonally
- Shoes aligned evenly
- Badger fully assembled
- Pumpkin and candy cane completed
- All yarn ends woven in securely
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
For routine care, use a soft dry brush or clean fingertips to remove dust from the outfit, hat, and accessories. If the fluffy trim becomes flattened, stroke it gently with a clean toothbrush or soft pet brush. Do not pull the fibers aggressively, especially along the cape edges and dress hem.
If deeper cleaning is needed, spot clean only the affected area with cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap. Press moisture out with a towel and reshape the item while damp. Let the set air dry fully away from direct heat. Keep the accessories together in a small box or fabric bag so none of the tiny pieces are lost.
