Wildflower Posy Bunny – Crochet.

This charming amigurumi bunny is designed as a collectible crochet rabbit with a floral spring dress, brimmed flower hat, tiny crossbody purse, little shoes, a stitched book, and a matching woodland squirrel friend. It has the look of a handmade bunny doll shoppers often seek as a nursery gift, Easter keepsake, or artisan toy.

The overall style is soft, elegant, and detailed, with raised blossoms across the hat, bodice, sleeves, hem, purse, and shoes. The finished set is ideal for makers who love heirloom-style amigurumi, cottagecore decor, boutique plush display pieces, and handcrafted gift items that feel ready for a craft fair or online shop listing.

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 design creates a dressed bunny standing figure with long floppy ears, a rounded cream face, simple embroidered nose and mouth, glossy safety eyes, a collared floral dress, a decorated hat, a small shoulder purse, flower shoes, a tiny basket, a miniature stitched book, and a separate squirrel companion.

The proportions in the image are very balanced. The bunny has a large rounded head, a smaller tapered torso, straight legs, short soft arms, and long ears that hang from under the hat. The dress is full and flared. The accessories are small but visually important, so work them slowly.

General Notes Before You Start

• Work the bunny, squirrel, basket, purse, and shoes with firm tension.
• Stuff gradually, not all at once.
• The floral decoration gives this set its identity. Take time with placement.
• Keep the face plain and gentle. The image shows a simple expression, not a heavily sculpted face.
• When attaching flowers, vary pink, red, and blue so the arrangement feels natural and balanced.

Bunny Head

The head is large, softly round, and slightly wider than the neck area. It should feel plush but smooth, with a gentle forward-facing face. The cheeks are rounded. The muzzle is subtle rather than protruding strongly.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: Sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)

10. Rnd 10: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
11. Rnd 11 to 20: Sc around. (60)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert the safety eyes between rnds 12 and 13 with about 10 to 12 visible stitches between them. The eyes should be centered, calm, and slightly low on the face so the hat can sit closely above them.

Begin stuffing the head firmly. Shape the cheeks with your fingers as you stuff. The head in the image is smooth, not lumpy, so add stuffing in small pieces.

1. Rnd 21: 8 sc, dec around. (54)
2. Rnd 22: 7 sc, dec around. (48)
3. Rnd 23: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
4. Rnd 24: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
5. Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
6. Rnd 26: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

Do not close the head yet if you prefer a joined neck construction. If working the head separately, leave a long sewing tail. The lower face should remain softly rounded, without a pointed chin.

Facial Embroidery

• Use pale pink or soft beige embroidery thread.
• Embroider a tiny horizontal nose centered between the eyes and a little lower.
• Add a short vertical line down from the center of the nose.
• Split that line very slightly into a soft understated mouth.
• Optional: Add the faintest blush with pastel, but keep it minimal.

Bunny Ears Make 2

The ears are long, flat, and floppy. They fall straight down at the sides of the face from beneath the hat brim. They are not stiff, and they are not overly wide. Keep them elegant and slightly tapered at the tip.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: Sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4 to 6: Sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 7: 7 sc, inc, 8 sc, inc, 1 sc. (20)
6. Rnd 8 to 24: Sc around. (20)
7. Rnd 25: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. (18)
8. Rnd 26 to 32: Sc around. (18)
9. Rnd 33: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
10. Rnd 34 to 38: Sc around. (16)

Flatten the top opening. Do not stuff, or use only a trace of stuffing at the base if you want softer volume. Sew each ear to the upper side of the head so they begin near the crown and hang downward. Leave enough room for the hat to sit over the attachment line.

Neck and Body

The bunny body is smaller than the head and gently pear-shaped. The upper chest is narrow. The lower body broadens slightly under the dress. Because the doll stands with straight legs, the body should be centered and balanced.

If you want a very secure doll, crochet the neck and body directly from the head opening. If not, make separately and sew firmly.

1. Rnd 1: Starting from 24 sts at neck opening, sc around. (24)
2. Rnd 2: Sc around. (24)
3. Rnd 3: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
4. Rnd 4: Sc around. (30)
5. Rnd 5: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
6. Rnd 6 to 10: Sc around. (36)
7. Rnd 11: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Rnd 12 to 15: Sc around. (42)

Stuff the body gradually. Keep the waist and upper chest neat. The image shows a graceful silhouette, not a very wide doll torso. Stop before overstuffing, because the dress must sit smoothly on top.

1. Rnd 16: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
2. Rnd 17: Sc around. (36)
3. Rnd 18: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
4. Rnd 19: Sc around. (30)

Fasten off if making separate lower body and legs, or continue if you use a one-piece construction. The lower body should remain flat enough to support a centered standing shape once the legs are attached.

Legs Make 2

The legs are straight, modestly slim, and slightly longer than the arms. They end in rounded feet that fit into tiny cream shoes. In the image the bunny stands upright, so keep both legs equal and firmly stuffed.

Foot Base

1. Ch 7.
2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 5 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work along opposite side, 4 sc, inc in last st. (14)
3. Rnd 2: Inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. Rnd 3: Sc around. (20)

Shape the Foot

1. Rnd 4: Work in BLO, sc around. (20)
2. Rnd 5: 6 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 8 sc. (18)
3. Rnd 6: 5 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 7 sc. (16)
4. Rnd 7: Sc around. (16)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the toe area lightly and flatten the sole with your fingers. Continue up the leg.

Leg Tube

1. Rnd 8 to 20: Sc around. (16)

Stuff firmly but keep the ankles straight. Flatten the top and close with 8 sc through both layers, or leave open for sewing depending on your preferred assembly method. Make a second leg exactly the same.

Arms Make 2

The arms are short, softly stuffed, and angled slightly downward. They are simple and smooth, ending in rounded mitten-like paws without separate fingers. Their modest size helps the floral dress remain the visual focus.

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: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
5. Rnd 7 to 16: Sc around. (10)

Stuff only the lower half to keep the arms flexible. Flatten the top and close with 5 sc through both layers if desired. Leave long tails for sewing. Attach just below the collar line so they angle out slightly and rest beside the dress.

Dress Bodice

The dress is one of the key details in the image. It is cream, gently fitted at the top, and richly decorated with raised flowers across the front. The skirt is softly gathered with a scalloped lower edge.

You may crochet the dress directly onto the body, which gives the cleanest finish. Work around the torso beginning just below the neck.

1. Rnd 1: Join cream yarn to front or back of upper torso. Sc evenly around body at chest level, about 30 sts. (30)
2. Rnd 2: Sc around. (30)
3. Rnd 3: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
4. Rnd 4: Sc around. (36)
5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, inc around. (42)

This upper section should sit neatly, like a fitted dress bodice. Do not let it flare too early. The flowers added later create the rich decorative surface seen in the image.

Puffed Sleeves

The sleeves are short, rounded, and slightly puffed. They carry small floral clusters. You can make them as tiny cap sleeves attached to the armhole area.

1. At each shoulder opening, join cream yarn.
2. Work 10 to 12 sc around the armhole edge.
3. Next round: Lightly increase every 3 or 4 stitches to create gentle puff.
4. Final round: Sc or hdc around, then finish with a soft picot-like suggestion by alternating sl st and ch 1 if you want a delicate edge.

Keep the sleeves small. They should sit outward just a little, not droop heavily.

Peter Pan Collar

The collar is crisp, flat, and rounded, with two visible front lobes. This detail frames the face and is very important to the sweet vintage look.

1. Ch 26.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 25 sc. Ch 1, turn.
3. Row 2: 2 dec, 17 sc, 2 dec. Ch 1, turn.
4. Row 3: Sc across.
5. Divide mentally into two rounded collar halves.
6. Work short rows on each half, decreasing at outer edge to round the tips.

Alternatively, make two separate small rounded collar pieces and sew them side by side at the neckline. Sew the collar over the dress top so the rounded ends meet at the center front.

Dress Skirt

The skirt is gathered and full, with horizontal textural ridges and a soft scalloped edge. It should reach just above the ankles, leaving the shoes visible. The lower section carries the densest floral decoration.

1. Rnd 1: From the lower bodice edge, work in FLO and make increases around to begin the flare. Example: 2 sc, inc around. (56)
2. Rnd 2: Sc around.
3. Rnd 3: 3 sc, inc around. (70)
4. Rnd 4: Sc around.
5. Rnd 5: Work a textural ridge by using BLO around.
6. Rnd 6 to 8: Sc around.
7. Rnd 9: 4 sc, inc around for a slightly fuller lower skirt if desired.
8. Rnd 10 to 12: Sc around.

For the hem, create a soft scallop. The image shows a gentle shell-like lower edge, not a stiff ruffle.

1. Hem round: Skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st, repeat around.

If your yarn is thick, use 3 hdc instead of 5 dc for a smaller scallop. Steam lightly if needed so the hem relaxes.

Flower Motifs for Bunny Outfit

The floral decoration is the defining feature of this design. The hat, sleeves, bodice, skirt, purse, and shoes all carry blossoms. Use raised flowers, not flat embroidered dots, because the image shows dimensional petals.

Small Five-Petal Flower

1. Using pink, red, or blue yarn, make MR.
2. Into MR work: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st. Repeat 5 times.
3. Pull ring closed and fasten off.

These flowers should stay tiny. Make many in varied colors. Add a small French knot center or a single tiny stitch in pale yellow or cream if you want more realism.

Rose Cluster Style Flower

1. Ch 16.
2. Starting in second ch from hook, work 2 sc in each chain across.
3. Roll strip into a spiral flower.
4. Sew securely at base.

Use this style for the fuller pink blossoms visible among the other flowers. Combine both motif styles so the outfit looks layered and lively.

Leaves

1. Ch 5.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sl st in last ch.

Make many small green leaves. Tuck one or two beside selected flowers instead of every single blossom. The arrangement in the image is decorative but not overcrowded.

Placement Guide

• Hat crown and brim: Scatter red, pink, and blue blossoms around the full circumference.
• Dress bodice: Concentrate a floral cluster across the upper front chest.
• Sleeves: Add one small cluster on each sleeve top.
• Skirt hem: Create a dense garland effect along the front and sides.
• Purse: Add 3 to 5 blossoms on the front.
• Shoes: Add one tiny flower or bud on each shoe.

Hat

The hat is rounded with a downward brim and a band of raised flowers all around. It sits low on the forehead and frames the face while leaving the eyes fully visible. It should rest over the tops of the ears.

Hat Crown

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: Sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rnd 9 to 12: Sc around. (48)

Test fit over the bunny head. Add one more increase round if needed, depending on your tension and the size of the ears beneath the hat.

Hat Brim

1. Rnd 13: Work in FLO, 7 sc, inc around. (54)
2. Rnd 14: Sc around. (54)
3. Rnd 15: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
4. Rnd 16: Sc around. (60)
5. Rnd 17: 9 sc, inc around. (66)
6. Rnd 18: Sc around. (66)

The brim should dip down gently, not flare sharply. Add a final round of hdc or sc if you want a smoother finished edge. Sew flower motifs around the hat, spacing them evenly with small leaf accents between several blossoms.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are cream and simple, with a strap across the top and a tiny floral accent. They should look delicate and rounded, almost like soft Mary Jane shoes.

1. Make a small oval sole using the same opening method as the foot base, but slightly smaller than the foot itself.
2. Work one round in BLO to create shoe sides.
3. Decrease lightly at the toe over 2 rounds.
4. Leave the back open enough to slip over the finished foot.
5. Add a narrow strap by chaining 6 to 8 and sewing across the instep.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Sew one tiny pink flower or bud onto each shoe near the outer front side. Attach shoes permanently to the feet for a neat display result.

Round Floral Purse

The purse is a small circular pouch worn crossbody from the bunny’s left shoulder to right hip. The strap is narrow and soft. The front is decorated with several blossoms, matching the dress and hat.

Make 2 Purse Circles

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

Fasten off one circle. On the second circle, continue with a side wall if you want more dimension.

1. Rnd 6: Work in BLO, sc around. (30)
2. Rnd 7: Sc around. (30)

Join both circles together with sc around, leaving a small top opening if you want it to function like a little pouch. Otherwise sew closed for display.

Strap

1. Ch enough to cross from shoulder to opposite hip, usually 45 to 60 chains depending on scale.
2. Work one row of sl st or sc back across for strength.

Sew the strap securely to the upper sides of the purse. Decorate the front with pink, red, and blue flowers plus tiny leaves.

Mini Basket

The basket on the left side of the image is a simple tan oval basket with a handle. It has a clean shape and no heavy decoration. Its purpose is to support the picnic or garden story of the set.

Basket Base

1. Ch 9.
2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 7 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work along opposite side, 6 sc, inc in final st. (18)
3. Rnd 2: Inc, 6 sc, 3 inc, 6 sc, 2 inc. (24)
4. Rnd 3: Sc around. (24)

Basket Sides

1. Rnd 4: Work in BLO, sc around. (24)
2. Rnd 5 to 10: Sc around. (24)

Fasten off. If you want the basket to hold shape, insert a small piece of cardboard into the base and line it with a crochet circle or felt if desired.

Basket Handle

1. Ch 20 to 24 depending on desired arch.
2. Work 1 row of sc back across.
3. Sew each end to opposite basket sides.

The handle in the image is rounded and upright. Keep it neat and centered.

Miniature Book

The tiny book is small, rectangular, and decorative, with a pale cover and delicate floral accents. It rests near the basket. This detail is tiny, but it helps tell the gentle story of the display.

Book Cover

1. Ch 11.
2. Row 1 to 6: Sc across 10. Ch 1, turn.

Fold into a tiny book shape, or make front and back covers separately and sandwich a small card insert inside. Use pale cream yarn for the outer cover.

Pages

1. Using white or very pale cream yarn, make a smaller rectangle.
2. Stitch it inside the folded cover.

Add a few embroidered stitches in pink and green to imitate the floral decoration visible on the front cover. Keep this very fine and understated.

Squirrel Companion

The squirrel is warm brown with a cream muzzle and belly, a large curled tail, a blue top, and a small hat with a blue band. It is compact and sturdy, with a cute upright pose beside the bunny.

Squirrel Head

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: Sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5 to 8: Sc around. (24)

📌Thank you for reading the article

5. Rnd 8: 4 sc, dec around. (15)
6. Rnd 9 to 11: Sc around. (15)

Stuff moderately. The body should be short and upright. Add a cream oval belly patch to the front if you prefer more contrast.

Squirrel Arms Make 2

1. Rnd 1: 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. Rnd 2 to 5: Sc around. (5)

Do not overstuff. Sew to the upper body.

Squirrel Legs Make 2

2. Rnd 2: Sc around. (6)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
4. Rnd 4 to 6: Sc around. (9)

Sew at the lower body so the squirrel stands slightly apart from the bunny.

Squirrel Tail

The tail is large and curled upward behind the squirrel. This is one of the most visible squirrel features, so make it full and bold.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: Sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)

8. Rnd 17: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
9. Rnd 18 to 20: Sc around. (12)

Stuff lightly so it can be curved. Bend into a soft arc and sew to the back of the body. Anchor the upper tail tip with one hidden stitch if you want a more upright pose.

Squirrel Blue Top

The squirrel wears a plain blue top covering the upper body. It is simple and sleeveless in appearance.

1. Ch enough to wrap the upper torso.
2. Work a small rectangle in sc rows.
3. Wrap around body and sew at the back.

Squirrel Hat

The hat is small, tan, and shallow with a blue band. It sits tilted lightly on the squirrel’s head.

1. Make a tiny flat circle for the crown top.
2. Work 2 or 3 rounds down for shallow sides.
3. Add a small brim by increasing lightly in one round.
4. Embroider or crochet a narrow blue band.

Assembly Order

1. Sew bunny head to body if not made as one piece.
2. Attach ears high on the head so they fall down under the hat.
3. Sew legs evenly and check balance from the front.
4. Sew arms just below the collar line.
5. Dress the bunny with bodice, sleeves, collar, and skirt.
6. Sew all floral motifs and leaves onto dress, hat, purse, and shoes.
7. Attach purse strap across the body.
8. Make and place basket and book.
9. Assemble squirrel and dress it with top and hat.

Color Placement Notes

• Main palette: Cream base with cheerful but soft floral accents
• Red flowers: Use as strong focal points on hat, bodice, and lower skirt
• Pink flowers: Scatter between red flowers to soften the arrangement
• Blue flowers: Place evenly to cool the palette and echo the squirrel shirt and hat band
• Green leaves: Use sparingly beside selected blossoms

The image shows a harmonious distribution rather than strict symmetry. Try to keep balance from left to right, but avoid making both sides completely identical. That slightly natural arrangement gives the doll more charm.

Shaping Tips for an Accurate Look

• Keep the bunny head larger than the body.
• Do not make the ears too narrow or too stiff.
• Place the eyes low enough that the hat brim does not hide them.
• Make the skirt wide enough to flare softly around the legs.
• Keep the collar crisp and visible from the front.
• Use enough flowers on the lower skirt to create a garden border effect.
• Let the purse rest naturally at the side, not in the center front.
• Keep the squirrel tail generously sized.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the bunny from the front before securing the final stitches. The face should look centered, gentle, and open. If needed, adjust the ears slightly so they fall evenly below the hat. Add the nose and mouth embroidery only after the hat and collar are attached, so the expression sits correctly within the finished composition.

Make sure the floral clusters on the bodice and skirt draw the eye downward in a balanced way. The purse should cross the chest lightly without hiding the flower arrangement. Place the basket, book, and squirrel close to the bunny so the whole set reads as one coordinated scene.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from constant direct sunlight.
• Handle the floral motifs gently, especially on the hat and skirt hem.
• Avoid pulling the purse strap or basket handle sharply.
• For best shape, store the bunny standing or lying flat in a box with tissue support.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Both bunny ears attached evenly
• Eyes centered and secure
• Collar lying flat
• Dress hem balanced all around
• Flowers attached firmly to hat, bodice, sleeves, skirt, purse, and shoes
• Purse strap anchored well
• Basket handle secure
• Book edges tidy
• Squirrel tail attached strongly and posed nicely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Do not soak if your piece includes cardboard inserts, blush, or glued details. If the item becomes dusty, use a soft dry brush first. Reshape while drying and keep it away from strong heat.

For long-term preservation, wrap small accessories separately in tissue and store them flat in a dry container. Do not compress the hat brim, collar, or squirrel tail under heavy objects. A calm, dust-free shelf is the best option for keeping the set crisp and display-ready.
