Folk Blossom Bunny – Crochet

This charming amigurumi bunny doll set is designed to match the sweet countryside scene in the photo: a cream bunny wearing a folk floral hat, a full printed-look dress worked in crochet color detail, tiny floral shoes, a picnic basket, a striped teacup, a sandwich, and a little hedgehog friend. It is a lovely project for makers who enjoy heirloom-style handmade bunny decor.

The finished set also makes a beautiful spring nursery gift, Easter shelf decoration, or collectible crochet animal doll. The shapes are soft, rounded, and beginner-friendly in construction, while the surface details give it the polished look people often search for when shopping for a crochet bunny doll pattern or a boutique-style handmade plush.

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 yarn: light cream cotton or cotton-blend yarn, sport or light DK weight
• Floral detail yarn: coral, brick red, dusty rose, peach, pale orange, teal, sky blue, denim blue, navy, olive, and warm beige
• Hedgehog yarn: cream, taupe, brown, dark brown, sage or grassy green
• Hook: choose a hook 1 to 2 sizes smaller than the yarn label suggests so the stitches stay firm
• Safety eyes: small black round eyes for bunny, slightly smaller black eyes for hedgehog
• Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Small piece of plastic canvas or thick felt: optional for the hat brim and basket base
• Thin cardboard or felt: optional to help the sandwich and saucer sit flat

Finished Size

• Bunny: approximately 8.5 to 10 inches tall standing, not counting ear height beyond the hat brim
• Hedgehog: approximately 3.5 to 4 inches tall
• Basket: about 2 inches wide
• Teacup and saucer: miniature size for display only
• Sandwich: about 1.25 inches wide

Gauge and Style Notes

The stitches in the photo are tight, even, and smooth. Use a hook size that creates a dense fabric with no visible stuffing through the rounds. The bunny has a rounded head, a compact pear-shaped body, slim arms, short sturdy legs, and long upright ears.

The outfit is the visual focus. The hat and dress should look richly decorated, with small flower motifs scattered across a cream background. You do not need to reproduce every flower in exactly the same spot, but the balance of coral, blue, peach, and red should closely match the photo.

• Work in continuous rounds unless noted
• Use invisible decreases for a neat finish
• Stuff firmly but not so hard that the shape stretches
• Keep the face low and sweet, with wide spacing between the eyes
• Make all accessories slightly undersized so the bunny remains the star of the set

Fasten off the first leg. Make the second leg but do not fasten off. The feet in the image are short and oval rather than long, so avoid overstuffing. Keep the lower legs straight and modestly filled.

Body

Join the Legs

1. From the second leg, ch 3 and join to the first leg.
2. Sc around the first leg, sc across the chain, sc around the second leg, sc across the other side of the chain. You should have approximately 32 stitches.
3. Work 32 sc.
4. 6 sc, inc x4 spread evenly, 22 sc. Adjust so the total becomes 36.
5. Work 36 sc.
6. 5 sc, inc x6. 42
7. Work 42 sc.

Shape the Torso

The bunny in the picture has a softly rounded lower body hidden under a full dress. The torso is not long. It narrows slightly at the waist and then widens gently into the upper chest so the dress sits naturally.

1. 5 sc, dec x6. 36
2. Work 36 sc.
3. 4 sc, dec x6. 30
4. Work 30 sc.
5. 3 sc, dec x6. 24
6. Work 24 sc.
7. 2 sc, inc x6. 30
8. Work 30 sc.
9. 4 sc, inc x6. 36
10. Work 36 sc.

Stuff the body firmly, especially through the hip area. Keep the front smooth because the dress neckline crosses neatly over the chest. The bunny should stand with a stable center of gravity, even if you later display it leaning lightly.

Head

The head is the largest single shape in the set. It should be round, slightly wider than the neck, and gently flattened at the lower face. The muzzle is subtle, not protruding strongly. The eyes sit low and wide for a calm expression.

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Inc around. 12
3. 1 sc, inc x6. 18
4. 2 sc, inc x6. 24
5. 3 sc, inc x6. 30
6. 4 sc, inc x6. 36
7. 5 sc, inc x6. 42
8. 6 sc, inc x6. 48
9. 7 sc, inc x6. 54
10. Work rounds 10 through 16 even at 54 sc.

Insert the safety eyes between rounds 11 and 12, leaving about 8 to 10 stitches between them. This wider spacing is important. It creates the sweet, childlike look seen in the photo.

1. Round 17: 7 sc, dec x6. 48
2. Round 18: 6 sc, dec x6. 42
3. Round 19: 5 sc, dec x6. 36
4. Round 20: 4 sc, dec x6. 30

Stuff the head firmly. Shape the cheeks with your fingers while filling. Keep the lower face smooth and slightly full.

1. Round 21: 3 sc, dec x6. 24
2. Round 22: 2 sc, dec x6. 18

Leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the head to the body with the face centered. The neck should be short and sturdy, with the head sitting upright rather than tilted back.

Face Details

• Embroider a tiny vertical nose in pale pink or cream-peach between the eyes, low on the face
• Add a short down stitch beneath the nose
• Keep the mouth very minimal
• If desired, add faint eyebrow shaping with cream thread pulled lightly above each eye

Do not overwork the face. The image shows a clean, simple expression with dark round eyes and only the smallest stitched nose detail.

Ears Make 2

The ears are tall, narrow, softly curved, and lightly stuffed only at the base. They stand upright through the hat opening and are not floppy. Work them in an elongated oval.

1. With cream, ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: 5 sc, 3 sc in last chain, working along opposite side 4 sc, inc in final stitch. 14
3. Inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20
4. Work 20 sc.
5. 1 sc, inc, 7 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 7 sc, inc. 24
6. Work rounds 6 through 11 even at 24 sc.
7. 8 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 10 sc. 22
8. Work 22 sc.
9. 7 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 9 sc. 20
10. Work 20 sc.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Flatten the ear and sc through both layers across the open end, or leave open for sewing depending on your preference. Lightly stuff only the bottom third. Sew the ears on top of the head, fairly close together, so they rise neatly through the hat.

Arms Make 2

The arms are short, rounded, and slightly tapered. They angle downward at the sides. They should not be long enough to reach below the skirt hem.

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Inc around. 12
3. Work 12 sc.
4. 3 sc, dec x2, 2 sc. 10
5. Work 10 sc for 7 more rounds.

Lightly stuff the hand and lower arm only. Flatten the opening and sew to the body at the upper shoulder line, angled slightly forward.

Dress

The dress is a major feature. It has short sleeves, a crossover bodice, a high waist seam, and a wide gathered skirt. The cream base is densely decorated with floral motifs in coral, red, peach, blue, and teal. Because miniature tapestry can become bulky, use one of these methods:

• Method 1: tapestry crochet with carried strands for the bodice border, hem band, and scattered skirt flowers
• Method 2: crochet the dress in cream and add duplicate-stitch style embroidery with matching yarn afterward

For the closest visual match, combine both methods. Work geometric trim directly into the hem and neckline, then add floral clusters afterward. The image reads like richly printed fabric, so layered surface detail works beautifully here.

Bodice

1. With cream, ch 26.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, 25 sc.
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, 25 sc.
4. Row 3: ch 1, turn, dec, 21 sc, dec. 23
5. Row 4: ch 1, turn, 23 sc.
6. Row 5: ch 1, turn, dec, 19 sc, dec. 21

Now divide for the crossover front. Mark the center. Work each side separately to create the wrap shape.

Left Front

1. Work across 10 stitches only.
2. At the neckline edge, dec every other row 3 times.
3. Keep shoulder width narrow.

Right Front

1. Join yarn on the other side and mirror the left front.

Back and Shoulder Join

Sew or crochet the shoulders together. The neckline should form a clean V in front, matching the photo. Add a narrow trim round around the V-neck using cream with small contrast stitches of navy, coral, and teal every few stitches.

Sleeves

Attach yarn at the armhole and work short cap sleeves. Keep them neat and slightly puffed by adding a few increases, then finish with a simple edge. The sleeves in the image are small and do not extend far from the shoulder.

1. Pick up 14 to 16 stitches around the armhole.
2. Work 1 round sc.
3. Work 1 round with 2 to 4 evenly spaced increases.
4. Finish with one round sc in contrast trim.

Skirt

Join cream at the waist. The skirt should flare generously so it stands outward in a bell shape. This is important because the photo shows a full, structured silhouette rather than a limp, narrow skirt.

1. Round 1: work 2 sc in nearly every stitch around the waist edge until the skirt feels full. Aim for 40 to 48 stitches.
2. Round 2: work even.
3. Round 3: 5 sc, inc around.
4. Round 4: work even.
5. Round 5: 6 sc, inc around.
6. Rounds 6 through 11: work even or add a few extra increases if you want more fullness.

The skirt should fall just above the ankles. Try it on the bunny before finishing. If needed, add one more round. Do not make it floor-length. The shoes must remain visible.

Floral Surface Design for Dress

Use the floral yarn colors to add blooms over the cream dress. Cluster the largest flowers near the lower front center and smaller flowers toward the upper bodice. Scatter blue and teal accents between warm flowers to echo the balanced color palette in the image.

• Large flower: embroider a center dot, then 6 rounded petals in coral or brick red, then a tiny contrasting center in peach or yellow-beige
• Medium flower: 5 petals in blue, peach, or red
• Tiny filler bloom: 3 short stitches around a central knot
• Leaf sprays: use olive, teal, or navy for short slanted stitches

For the hem band, work or embroider a repeated folk border made of small triangles and tiny diamonds in navy, coral, teal, and peach. This hem detail strongly affects the final look, so do not skip it.

Hat

The bucket hat is soft but structured, with a rounded crown and a short downward brim. It is covered with the same floral color story as the dress and sits low over the bunny’s forehead while leaving the ears visible above.

Hat Crown Top

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Inc around. 12
3. 1 sc, inc x6. 18
4. 2 sc, inc x6. 24
5. 3 sc, inc x6. 30
6. 4 sc, inc x6. 36

Continue increasing until the circle covers the top of the bunny’s head without squashing the ears. Depending on yarn, you may need 42 or 48 stitches.

Hat Sides

1. Work one round in BLO.
2. Work 5 to 6 rounds even.

Now begin the floral tapestry or duplicate-stitch decoration. Place larger motifs around the front and side areas, leaving the back a bit calmer. The photo shows the front band clearly decorated with floral rosettes and geometric fillers.

Brim

1. Increase every 6th stitch around.
2. Work one even round.
3. Increase every 7th stitch around.
4. Work one even round.

The brim should curl gently downward, not flare flat. If you need more structure, line the brim lightly with thin felt. Finish with a narrow contrast round using cream with tiny color accents that echo the hem of the dress.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are closed, rounded, and fully decorated with tiny floral stitching. Each shoe has a little strap or upper edge detail. They should fit snugly over the bunny’s feet without looking bulky.

1. With cream, ch 6.
2. Work an oval base around the chain to about 14 stitches.
3. Work 2 rounds even.
4. Begin decreasing at the toe to create a rounded front.
5. Continue until the opening fits the foot snugly.

Add a small strap or decorative top edge using coral, teal, or navy. Then embroider tiny blossoms across the uppers, keeping the design dense but balanced. Sew the shoes permanently to the feet if the set is for display.

Mini Crossbody Pouch on Dress

The bunny’s dress includes a tiny floral pouch resting on the front right side of the skirt. It appears soft, rounded, and attached by a narrow strap that crosses the torso. This is a key detail in the image.

1. With cream, make a tiny oval or circle bag about 1 inch wide.
2. Work 2 flat pieces and seam them together, lightly stuffed or left flat.
3. Add a flap if desired.
4. Embroider matching floral motifs.
5. Make a narrow chain strap long enough to cross from the left shoulder to the right hip.

Sew the strap in place over the dress so it looks integrated with the outfit.

Picnic Basket

The basket is a small tan rectangular bag with a flap lid and upright handle. It sits beside the bunny and is worked in plain stitches without floral detail.

1. With warm tan, make a rectangular base, about 8 by 5 stitches.
2. Work around the rectangle for several rounds to build straight sides.
3. Create a separate flap as a small rectangle and sew to the back top edge.
4. Add a long handle strip and attach securely to both side tops.
5. Sew on a tiny round button detail with yarn.

Stuff the basket lightly or place a small block of foam inside if you want it to hold its shape.

Teacup and Saucer

The cup is cream with pale blue horizontal stripes and sits on a matching saucer. Keep these pieces tiny and simple. They are decorative and should read clearly without becoming oversized.

Saucer

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to a flat circle of 12 or 18 stitches.
3. Work one round in BLO.
4. Finish with one contrast stripe round in pale blue.

Cup

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12.
3. Work 2 to 3 rounds even.
4. Change to pale blue for one round, then cream, then pale blue again to create stripes.
5. Add a tiny handle using a short chain loop.

Stuff very lightly or leave unstuffed and shape with your fingers.

Sandwich

The sandwich is stacked and slightly rounded, with visible bread edges and a filling band in the center. It should rest on a tiny base or napkin-like round if desired.

1. Make 2 cream squares or rounded squares for bread.
2. Make one very thin green layer and one pale yellow or tan layer for filling.
3. Join the layers together with a few stitches.
4. Add a tiny white base circle if you want to mimic the plate beneath.

Keep the sandwich smaller than the hedgehog’s body so the scale stays believable.

Hedgehog Friend

The hedgehog is a separate miniature character with a cream face and body, dark curly spines, small round ears, tiny arms, tiny feet, and a bright green open vest. The body is upright, slightly pear-shaped, and very cute beside the bunny.

Body and Head Combined

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Inc around. 12
3. 1 sc, inc x6. 18
4. 2 sc, inc x6. 24
5. Work 24 sc for 4 rounds.
6. 3 sc, dec x4. 20
7. Work 20 sc for 3 rounds.
8. 2 sc, dec x4. 16

Insert the eyes low on the face with a tiny nose centered below them. Stuff firmly. Close the body at the base if working from top down, or continue building a flatter bottom if preferred.

Snout

If you want a slightly raised nose area, make a small oval patch in taupe and sew it onto the center face before adding the nose stitch. The image shows a soft brown muzzle zone around the nose.

Spines

The spines can be made in two ways:

• Loop stitch method: work the back head and upper body in loop stitches using brown yarn
• Curl strip method: crochet many short spiral curls and attach them densely over the back and top of head

The photo suggests rounded, clustered curls, so the spiral strip method gives the closest match. Cover the top and back generously, but keep the face clear.

Arms, Feet, and Ears

• Make 2 tiny cream arms, each starting with 4 or 5 sc in MR and worked for a few rounds
• Make 2 tiny feet as small ovals or tubes
• Make 2 tiny semi-circle ears in beige or taupe and sew high on the sides

Vest

The vest is bright green, open at the front, and short. It covers the sides of the hedgehog but leaves the belly visible.

1. Chain a short width to fit around the upper body.
2. Work a few rows in sc.
3. Shape a V opening at the front by skipping or decreasing near the center edges.
4. Sew around the shoulders and sides.

Assembly Order

1. Sew bunny head to body
2. Sew ears to head
3. Sew arms to body
4. Dress the bunny and secure the dress at the back if needed
5. Add shoes
6. Add the crossbody pouch
7. Place the hat over the ears and tack lightly in hidden stitches
8. Make and finish the hedgehog
9. Arrange basket, teacup, and sandwich beside the figures

Color Placement Tips

The image depends heavily on color harmony. Avoid using colors that are too bright or neon. Choose dusty, warm, slightly muted shades. Coral and brick red should dominate, while teal and blue act as crisp contrast. Cream must remain the background that unifies everything.

• Use the densest floral detail on the hat front and lower skirt
• Repeat at least three dress colors on the shoes
• Echo a small amount of blue in the teacup stripes
• Use green only on the hedgehog vest so it stands apart from the bunny

Styling Notes for a Close Visual Match

The bunny should feel polished and collectible. Keep the face calm, the ears symmetrical, and the skirt nicely flared. The hat should sit low enough to frame the face but high enough to show the bunny’s eyes clearly. The accessories should look neatly arranged for a picnic scene.

If the dress feels too plain, add more small blossoms rather than making a few oversized ones. The photo shows many compact motifs that together create the impression of printed folk fabric. Small details matter more than large ones in this design.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the eyes are even, the nose is centered, and the ears rise straight through the hat line. Adjust the hat angle so it frames the face naturally. Smooth the skirt with your fingers, then tack the pouch strap neatly across the bodice. Place the accessories close together for a finished picnic display.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept dry and dust-free
• Spot clean gently with a damp cloth
• Avoid pulling on the floral embroidery or surface details
• Do not machine wash if the hat brim or basket includes stabilizer

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head firmly attached and centered
• Ears symmetrical
• Dress flares evenly
• Hat fits low but does not hide the face
• Shoes secure
• Pouch strap anchored
• Hedgehog vest sits open in front
• Basket, teacup, and sandwich all scaled small

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the set away from direct sunlight to protect the cream yarn and the rich floral colors. If dust collects, use a soft dry brush with gentle strokes. For long-term storage, wrap each piece in clean tissue and keep the accessories separate so small stitched details stay crisp and undamaged.
