Sky Ribbon Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi set brings together a soft cream bunny, a ruffled blue-trim dress, a wide-brim hat, a crossbody bag, tiny shoes, a teacup scene, a yarn basket, a little squirrel friend, and two stacked books. It suits readers looking for an amigurumi doll pattern, crochet bunny doll design, or handmade nursery gift idea.

The finished set has the polished charm often seen in collectible stuffed animals, boutique crochet dolls, spring decor, and artisan toy sets. It is also ideal for makers searching for a bunny plush pattern, heirloom crochet doll project, or a handmade gift set with coordinated miniature accessories.

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 bunny color: light cream or warm ivory cotton yarn
• Accent color: dusty sky blue cotton yarn
• Ear inner color and squirrel color: light taupe or soft mocha yarn
• Squirrel belly: cream yarn
• Book colors: brown, cream, and a small amount of blue

Finished Size

Using fine cotton yarn and a small hook, the bunny will sit at approximately 10 to 12 inches tall from the base to the top of the head, not including the hat brim. The squirrel is much smaller and should measure about 3 to 4 inches tall. Accessories are scaled to match the doll exactly.

• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• inc = 2 sc in the same stitch

General Notes

• Work most pieces in continuous rounds unless another method is stated.
• Use a tight tension so stuffing does not show.
• The doll in the image has a smooth, compact finish. Choose a hook that gives firm fabric.
• Stuff the head firmly, the body moderately, and the limbs lightly to moderately.
• The ears are long, soft, and lightly stuffed only at the base so they drape downward.
• The dress is worked in separate layered skirt sections to match the tiered look in the image.
• Blue details are not embroidered randomly. Most accents are crocheted strips, bows, trims, or threaded chains placed with intention.

Bunny Head

The head is round, full, and slightly wider than the neck opening. It should look smooth and softly weighted, with the lower face just a little fuller than the forehead. Keep the shaping gentle because the face in the image is calm and balanced rather than sharply sculpted.

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

11. Round 19: (5 sc, dec) x 6. (36)
12. Round 20: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)

Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 11 and 12 with about 9 to 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the image are glossy and evenly placed, creating a sweet neutral expression. Add stuffing before continuing. Shape the cheeks gently with your fingers as you stuff.

1. Round 21: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
2. Round 22: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
3. Round 23: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)
4. Round 24: dec x 6. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Muzzle and Nose Detail

The muzzle is very subtle in the image, so avoid making a large protruding snout. Instead, lightly define the nose area with soft embroidery.

• Using pale pink or nude thread, embroider a small horizontal triangle nose centered between the eyes and slightly lower.
• Add a tiny short vertical stitch beneath it.
• Make a very small soft “Y” shape for the mouth.
• With matching cream yarn, add one or two light sculpting stitches if needed to create gentle cheeks.
• Embroider thin curved brows in taupe above the eyes to match the expression in the image.

Bunny Body

The body is pear-shaped and compact, with a rounded lower half that supports the layered dress. The upper torso narrows toward the neck. Keep the stuffing even so the dress sits smoothly and the bunny can remain in a seated display pose.

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

16. Rounds 21 to 22: sc around. (18)

Stuff firmly at the lower body and slightly lighter at the upper body. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

Legs

The legs are soft cylinders with rounded feet. They are positioned forward in a relaxed seated angle, not straight down. The feet are simple and sweet, with blue ankle straps and a tiny side bow effect.

Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rounds 4 to 6: sc around. (18)

6. Round 8: sc around. (14)
7. Round 9: BLO sc around. (14)
8. Rounds 10 to 20: sc around. (14)

Stuff the foot firmly and the upper leg lightly. Flatten the top slightly and close with 7 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing. Make sure both feet angle forward in the same direction when attached.

Ankle Straps

Using blue yarn, make a chain long enough to wrap around each ankle once. Slip stitch across the chain to make it slightly firmer. Sew around the ankle area. Add a tiny crocheted bow or knot to the outer side of each shoe strap.

Tiny Shoe Bows

• Ch 5.
• Into second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sc.
• Fasten off.
• Wrap center with yarn once and sew to the strap.

Arms

The arms are narrow, rounded, and softly tapered. They hang down naturally at the sides with a slight inward curve. Keep them lightly stuffed so they sit gently over the dress without pushing it outward too much.

Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)
3. Rounds 3 to 5: sc around. (9)
4. Round 6: (2 sc, dec) x 2, sc. (7)
5. Rounds 7 to 18: sc around. (7)

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten and close. Leave a sewing tail.

Ears

The ears are long, flattened, and softly drooping. They begin at the upper sides of the head and fall down past the jawline to shoulder level. The outer yarn is cream on the head side, while the visible hanging ear tone appears taupe in the image. To capture this look, crochet the ears in taupe and sew them so they frame the face softly under the hat.

Make 2

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rounds 4 to 7: sc around. (18)
5. Round 8: (4 sc, dec) x 3. (15)
6. Rounds 9 to 18: sc around. (15)
7. Round 19: (3 sc, dec) x 3. (12)
8. Rounds 20 to 28: sc around. (12)
9. Round 29: (2 sc, dec) x 3. (9)
10. Rounds 30 to 34: sc around. (9)

Do not stuff except perhaps a tiny pinch at the base. Flatten the top opening and sew closed when attaching. Stitch the ears high on the head but let them fall lower than the hat brim.

Neck Join

Sew the head to the body securely. Because the hat and ears add visual weight, reinforce the neck with extra stitches. You may place a short rolled piece of felt or a small neck support inside before finishing if you want a firmer display doll.

Dress Bodice

The dress is cream with sky blue edging, shoulder frills, a row of blue bows, and two skirt tiers. The bodice is neat and fitted, not loose. It sits high on the torso and covers the join between body and neck while leaving the arms free.

Bodice Base

Work from the top down in joined rounds or spirals, whichever gives you the cleanest result. Adjust the stitch count to fit your finished body if needed.

1. Round 1: Ch 24, join carefully without twisting, or begin with a foundation ring that fits the upper torso. Work 24 sc around. (24)
2. Round 2: sc around. (24)
3. Round 3: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
4. Round 4: sc around. (30)
5. Round 5: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
6. Round 6: sc around. (36)
7. Round 7: Work even and check fit over the torso.

To create a fitted dress shell, place the bodice on the bunny and lightly seam the back after dressing the doll, or add a narrow opening in the back and stitch it closed. The front should remain smooth and centered.

Neckline Frill

Join cream yarn to the top edge of the bodice.

• In each stitch, alternate: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc across sections to create a gentle ruffle.
• Do not over-ruffle. The image shows a delicate collar, not a dramatic one.
• Edge the very top lightly in blue with surface slip stitches or a thin blue chain sewn in place.

Shoulder Frills

At both arm openings, add small cream ruffles edged in blue.

• Attach yarn under the arm opening.
• Work 2 dc in some stitches and 1 dc in others to create a soft flounce.
• Finish with a round of blue slip stitches or very small single crochet edging.

Upper Skirt Layer

The upper skirt begins at the lower bodice and forms a soft bell shape. It is not very long, because the second tier shows beneath it. The edge has a scalloped cream border with a sky blue line just above or just under the scallops.

1. Join cream yarn to the lower bodice edge.
2. Round 1: inc evenly around to create fullness. For example, work 54 stitches total.
3. Rounds 2 to 5: sc around or alternate sc and hdc for slight body.
4. Round 6: work a decorative round in FLO if you want a fold line.
5. Rounds 7 to 8: continue evenly.

Scalloped Edge

• Work: sl st in next st, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1, sl st in next st.
• Repeat around.

After the scallops are complete, use blue yarn to surface stitch a dashed line one round above the hem. In the image, this blue accent appears as evenly spaced stitched dashes rather than a heavy stripe.

Blue Bows on Upper Layer

Make 3 tiny bows and sew them spaced across the front of the upper skirt tier.

• Ch 7.
• Starting in second ch from hook: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.
• Fasten off.
• Pinch the center, wrap with yarn, and sew in place.

Lower Skirt Layer

The second skirt tier extends below the first and is fuller. It shows a cream scallop edge with a blue trim that peeks beneath, giving the hem a soft blue shadow. This layer adds the rounded seated silhouette seen in the photo.

1. Join yarn inside the dress at a lower round or add this layer separately and sew under the bodice.
2. Round 1: 60 sc around.
3. Round 2: (4 sc, inc) around to increase fullness slightly.
4. Rounds 3 to 7: sc around.
5. Round 8: Work scallop edge as for upper tier.

Using blue yarn, add a blue edging directly under the cream scallops. You can do this by working slip stitches into the back loops behind the hem or by sewing on a blue chained trim. This should create the layered blue outline visible at the bottom of the skirt.

Front Decorative Blue Trim

The front of the dress includes a narrow blue line that starts near the neckline and travels diagonally downward toward the small bag strap area. To recreate this cleanly, make a slim blue cord.

• Ch 30 to 36, depending on your doll size.
• Slip stitch back across for firmness.
• Sew one end near the front neckline and angle it down toward the waist.
• Place one small bow at the neckline and another near the center chest as shown in the image.

Dress Bows

The bow style throughout the set is compact, rounded, and neat. Avoid floppy bows. Keep them symmetrical and slightly puffed.

Small Standard Bow

• Ch 9.
• Starting in second ch: sc 8.
• Turn, ch 1, sc 8 for 3 rows total.
• Fasten off with a long tail.
• Wrap center tightly and sew down.

Make enough bows for the dress front, skirt accents, bag, hat, and shoe details as needed.

Wide-Brim Hat

The hat is soft cream with a generous rounded crown and a downward-curving brim. Around the crown sits a blue ribbon band, and at the right side is a medium blue bow. The hat should sit low enough to shade the forehead slightly without covering the eyes.

Crown Top

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
8. Round 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
9. Round 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)

Check the top against the head. The crown should be broader than the head top because the hat is not tight like a cap.

Crown Sides

1. Rounds 10 to 17: sc around. (54)

Brim

1. Round 18: BLO (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
2. Round 19: sc around. (60)
3. Round 20: (9 sc, inc) x 6. (66)
4. Round 21: sc around. (66)
5. Round 22: (10 sc, inc) x 6. (72)
6. Round 23: sc around. (72)

Fasten off. Lightly shape the brim by hand so it tilts down softly all around, with the front just a little lower than the back.

Hat Ribbon Band

Using blue yarn, make a chain long enough to wrap around the crown. Work slip stitches back across. Sew neatly around the base of the crown. The visible ribbon in the image looks slightly dashed and soft, so a narrow cord works better than a thick strip.

Hat Bow

Make one medium bow using the standard bow method, but wider. Sew it to the right side of the hat band.

Crossbody Bag

The bag is a small soft blue satchel with a flap-like look and a bow on the front. It hangs from the bunny’s right shoulder across the body to the left side, resting against the skirt.

Bag Body

1. Ch 9.
2. Round 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 7, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side of foundation, sc 6, 2 sc in last st. (18)
3. Rounds 2 to 6: sc around. (18)

Flatten slightly into a rectangle with rounded corners. Add a small flap if desired by working 7 sc across one side for 3 rows. Sew a tiny bow to the front.

Bag Strap

• Ch enough to cross diagonally from shoulder to opposite waist.
• Slip stitch back across.
• Sew one end to the upper bag side and the other end to the opposite side.
• Position the bag so it lies flat without twisting.

Mini Teacup and Saucer

The teacup set is tiny and decorative. It sits near the bunny and should remain proportional, dainty, and simple. The saucer is pale blue with a white or cream center, and the cup is light cream with a small handle.

Saucer

1. With blue yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)

Fasten off. Add a tiny cream inner circle if you want the layered look from the photo.

Cup

1. With cream yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: BLO sc around. (12)
4. Rounds 4 to 5: sc around. (12)

Fasten off. Add a tiny handle made from 3 or 4 chains, sewn to the side. Place the cup centered on the saucer.

Mini Yarn Basket

The basket is tiny, shallow, and warm brown, holding three yarn balls in cream, blue, and pale green. The rim is neat and the handle is not visible, so keep it as an open bowl style basket.

Basket

1. With brown yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)
5. Rounds 5 to 6: sc around. (18)

Fasten off and lightly shape.

Mini Yarn Balls

Make 3.

• Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
• Round 2: sc around.
• Round 3: dec 3 times.

Stuff with a tiny pinch if needed and tuck into the basket.

Stacked Books

The books are tiny rectangles stacked to the bunny’s right side. The lower one appears blue with cream pages, and the upper one is brown. Keep them simple and firm enough to hold shape.

Book Cover Panels

Make two panels for each book and seam them together around a tiny bit of stuffing or felt.

• Ch 8.
• Row 1: sc 7.
• Rows 2 to 5: sc 7.

For a thicker book, make a narrow side strip and sew around the edges. Use cream yarn to stitch page lines on three sides. Stack the books and tack them together with a few hidden stitches.

Little Squirrel Friend

The squirrel is warm brown with a large curled tail, small round head, blue shirt, cream belly, and a tiny blue hat. It sits upright beside the bunny. The shape is cute and simplified, with a prominent tail curling high behind the body.

Head

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

Insert tiny eyes between Rounds 5 and 6. Stuff and close.

Body

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

Stuff lightly and close.

Belly Patch

• With cream yarn, 6 sc in MR.
• Round 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)

Sew to the front lower body.

Arms and Legs

Make 2 arms and 2 legs as tiny tubes.

• Round 1: 4 sc in MR.
• Rounds 2 to 4: sc around.

Stuff minimally. Sew arms to the upper sides and legs beneath the body so the squirrel sits upright.

Ears

• Make 2 tiny ears with 4 sc in MR.
• Fold slightly and sew to the top head.

Tail

The tail is the most important squirrel feature. It should be large in proportion and curled into a spiral beside and behind the body.

1. Ch 16.
2. Starting in second ch from hook, work 3 sc in each chain across.

This will naturally curl. Roll it into a larger spiral, tack the base, and sew to the back. Add a few extra stitches to control the final curve.

Blue Shirt

Wrap a narrow blue crochet strip around the upper torso and sew at the back. Add two tiny shoulder sections if desired. Keep it neat and fitted.

Tiny Squirrel Hat

• Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
• Round 2: sc around.
• Round 3: BLO (sc, inc) x 3. (9)

Add a tiny brim edge in blue or make the whole hat blue. Sew gently to the squirrel head at a slight tilt.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the head to the body.
2. Attach the ears high on the head and let them drape downward.
3. Sew on the legs so they angle forward for a seated pose.
4. Attach the arms low enough to rest beside the dress.
5. Dress the bunny in the bodice and layered skirt.
6. Add the front trim, bows, shoulder frills, and blue decorative lines.
7. Sew the shoes or ankle straps in place.
8. Place the hat on the head and stitch discreetly so it stays stable.
9. Add the crossbody bag.
10. Make and place the teacup, basket, books, and squirrel.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the face first. The eyes should look level and calm, with the tiny nose centered and the mouth very small. Shape the cheeks gently with hidden stitches only if needed. Keep the brows thin and soft so the expression remains sweet.

When placing the hat, leave enough space for the eyes to stay visible under the brim. The ears should emerge from beneath the hat and fall naturally beside the face. Position the bag so the strap crosses the bodice diagonally and the bag rests against the left side of the skirt.

Arrange the squirrel close to the bunny’s right side. Set the books just behind it, and place the teacup and yarn basket on the left. These small pieces complete the same storytelling balance shown in the image.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from heavy moisture.
• Do not machine wash items with sewn accessories and miniature decorations.
• For regular care, dust lightly with a soft dry brush.
• Store the hat brim flat so it keeps its gentle curve.
• Keep the miniature items together in a small box when not displayed.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered on body
• Eyes level and evenly spaced
• Ears matched in length and placed symmetrically
• Dress tiers balanced and full
• Blue bows attached neatly and securely
• Hat brim shaped evenly
• Bag strap lying flat across the body
• Shoes aligned forward
• Squirrel tail curled and secure
• Teacup, basket, books, and yarn balls scaled to the bunny

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For surface cleaning, use a barely damp cloth and blot gently rather than rubbing. Let every piece air dry fully on a towel. Avoid soaking the doll because the stuffing and fine shaping may lose structure.

If the hat brim or skirt edge softens over time, reshape it with your fingers while slightly damp and allow it to dry naturally. Do not use high heat. Store away from direct sunlight to protect the cream and blue shades from fading.

For long-term preservation, wrap the main bunny separately from the tiny accessories. Acid-free tissue paper works well for the hat brim, the bows, and the layered skirt. Keep the full set in a dry container so the details stay clean and crisp.
