Daisy Denim Bunny – Crochet

This sweet bunny set is designed to look like a collectible handmade rabbit doll with a charming picnic-day style. With her navy sunhat, puff-sleeve top, striped pinafore, crossbody bag, daisy sneakers, and tiny tea accessories, the finished set has the appeal of a boutique amigurumi bunny doll or artisan nursery display piece.

If you love searching for a handmade bunny gift, crochet rabbit doll, amigurumi animal set, or heirloom stuffed bunny for sale, this design captures that same cozy look in a maker-friendly format. The outfit, mini bear friend, teapot, cups, and basket all work together to create a polished premium-style crochet display.

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 worsted or DK cotton in warm cream.
• Inner ear yarn: Soft beige or pale oatmeal.
• Hat and blue trim yarn: Deep navy blue.
• Blouse yarn: Bright white.
• Shoe body yarn: Denim blue and white.
• Daisy center yarn: Golden yellow.

• Tea set yarn: Pale blue, navy, and white.
• Stuffing: Premium polyester fiberfill.
• Eyes: 8 mm to 10 mm black safety eyes for bunny, 5 mm to 6 mm for bear.
• Embroidery thread: Black for brows and tiny lines, peach for nose, pink for blush if desired.
• Hooks: 2.25 mm to 3 mm, adjusted so stitches stay firm and neat.
• Floral wire or thin millinery wire: Optional for hat brim support.
• Fabric: Navy-and-white pinstripe lightweight woven fabric for the pinafore and crossbody pouch if you want the closest visual match.

Finished Size

The bunny stands about 11 to 12 inches tall from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head, not including the hat. With the hat on, she appears slightly taller. The bear stands about 4 inches tall. The basket, teapot, and cups are all scaled to sit naturally beside the bunny.

Gauge and Style Notes

Work in continuous rounds unless a row is clearly marked. Use a stitch marker and move it each round. The sample look depends on tight, even stitches, especially on the head, hat brim, shoes, bear overalls, basket, and tea set. Stuff firmly but shape with your fingers as you go.

The visual character of this design comes from proportion. The head is large and softly rounded. The body is smaller and mostly hidden under the clothing. The ears hang low and wide. The arms are slim and relaxed. The legs are short, straight, and positioned so the bunny stands with a gentle grounded posture.

Design Overview

This set includes the main bunny, a navy hat with a small daisy, a white puff-sleeve top, a navy pinstripe pinafore dress, a small crossbody pouch, blue sneakers with daisy appliqués, a mini teddy bear in blue overalls and hat, a picnic basket with lid, a teapot, and two matching cups.

To match the image most closely, the bunny herself is crocheted, the blouse is crocheted, the hat is crocheted, the shoes are crocheted, and the tiny accessories are crocheted. The pinafore dress and small pouch are best made in pinstripe fabric, because that produces the crisp vertical stripe look seen in the finished set.

Fasten off, close the opening, and shape the head into a rounded ball with a slightly flatter lower face. The face in the image is not sharply tapered. Keep it soft and full through the cheeks so the muzzle looks gentle rather than pointed.

Muzzle Shaping and Face Placement

The bunny has a tiny centered nose and a subtle muzzle area rather than a separate protruding snout. Use a strand of cream yarn and make two very small horizontal shaping passes across the lower half of the face to define the cheeks lightly. Do not pull too tightly. The face should stay smooth and childlike.

Embroider a small peach triangle nose centered about two rounds below the eyes. Add a short vertical stitch under the nose. The mouth is minimal and understated. A tiny soft smile can be added with one short angled stitch to each side, but keep it extremely delicate.

Use a tiny amount of pink thread or blush just under the outer eye area to create the faint rosy cheeks visible in the image. Keep this light. The expression works best when the face remains clean, calm, and uncluttered.

Ears Make 2

Using beige for the outer ear and cream or pale beige for a lighter inner panel if preferred:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: 10 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec. (22)
7. Round 10: sc around. (22)
8. Round 11: 9 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec. (20)
9. Round 12: sc around. (20)
10. Round 13: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. (18)
11. Rounds 14-18: sc around. (18)
12. Flatten and crochet through both layers across the opening with 8 sc.

Do not stuff the ears. Lightly pinch the top edge and sew them to the head under the hat line so they hang low and straight down the sides of the face. The ears in the image are soft, broad, and relaxed, with only a very gentle outward curve at the lower ends.

Body

Using cream yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
7. Rounds 10-12: sc around. (18)

Stuff the body firmly, but keep the lower part slightly wider than the chest. This helps the bunny stand more securely under the dress. The body should be smaller than the head and not strongly defined from the outside once clothed.

Legs Make 2

Using cream yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3-10: sc around. (12)
4. Stuff lightly at the foot and medium-firm through the leg.
5. Flatten the top and close with 6 sc across.

The legs should be straight and modestly thick, with no dramatic shaping. Sew them under the body so the bunny stands balanced. In the image, the legs are close together and mostly covered by the pinafore skirt, with only the lower legs and shoes visible.

Arms Make 2

Using cream yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: sc around. (6)
3. Round 3: sc, inc three times. (9)
4. Rounds 4-12: sc around. (9)
5. Stuff lightly only in the lower half.
6. Flatten and close with 4 sc across.

The arms are slim and softly tapered, with the hands ending in simple rounded tips. Sew them slightly low on the body so they angle downward beside the pinafore. The image shows a relaxed pose rather than outstretched arms.

Neck Join

Sew the head to the body securely. Add extra stuffing into the neck area first if needed so the head sits upright under the hat. The finished doll has a strong vertical posture. The head should not wobble once assembled.

White Puff-Sleeve Top

This top sits under the pinafore and gives the bunny the rounded white sleeves seen in the image. It should look soft and slightly full at the shoulder, with a smooth fitted torso under the pinafore bib.

Sleeves Make 2

Using white yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc around in BLO. (12)
4. Round 4: 3 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec. (10)
5. Rounds 5-7: sc around. (10)

Lightly stuff the upper sleeve only if you want extra roundness, though this is optional. The main effect comes from the larger upper cap and narrower lower sleeve opening. Slip the sleeves over the arms before final sewing if you prefer a built-on look.

Torso Top

Using white yarn, make a simple fitted tube that can stretch around the upper body:

1. Chain enough to fit around the chest snugly, usually 20 to 24 chains.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Work 8 to 10 rounds of sc or hdc evenly.
4. Add the sleeves to the upper sides with whipstitch or crochet join.

The neckline sits hidden under the head. Keep the shirt neat and minimal because the pinafore bib covers the center front. The sleeves should remain the most visible feature of the blouse.

Navy Hat

The hat is one of the most defining features of the design. It has a rounded crown, a firm downward-angled brim, and a small white daisy with a yellow center placed to one side. Use tight stitches so the hat holds shape cleanly.

Hat Crown

Using navy yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rounds 9-16: sc around. (48)

Hat Brim

1. Round 17: Work in FLO, 7 sc, inc around. (54)
2. Round 18: sc around. (54)
3. Round 19: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
4. Round 20: sc around. (60)
5. Round 21: 9 sc, inc around. (66)
6. Round 22: sc around. (66)
7. Round 23: crab stitch or reverse sc around for a polished edge.

Steam lightly or shape by hand. If you want the brim to hold a stronger curve, crochet over a thin wire on the final round. The brim should dip slightly around the face and widen enough to sit just above the ears.

Daisy Appliqué

Using white and yellow yarn:

• Make a small yellow center with 6 sc in MR.
• Join white yarn and make 6 petals with ch 3, sl st in next stitch.
• Sew the flower to one side of the hat near the brim line.

The daisy should stay tiny. In the image it acts as a simple accent rather than a large decoration.

Pinstripe Pinafore Dress

For the most accurate match, make this part from navy-and-white pinstripe woven fabric. The dress has a bib front, shoulder straps, a softly gathered skirt, and a full shape that falls just above the shoes. The vertical stripes are essential to the final look.

Cutting Guide

• Bib front: one rectangle slightly narrower than the bunny chest.
• Straps: two long narrow strips.
• Waist skirt: one strip about 2.5 to 3 times the body width.
• Back band: one straight strip to finish the top edge if desired.

Sewing the Dress

1. Hem the side and top edges of the bib neatly.
2. Fold and sew the straps into narrow bands.
3. Attach the straps to the top corners of the bib.
4. Gather the long skirt strip along one edge.
5. Sew the gathered edge to the lower edge of the bib and around the waist.
6. Wrap the dress around the bunny and fit it snugly.
7. Attach the strap ends to the back waistband.
8. Close the back with stitches or a tiny hidden snap.

The skirt should flare softly, not stiffly. It needs enough fullness to cover the upper legs while still allowing the shoes to show. The bib sits high on the chest, and the straps are straight rather than ruffled.

Crossbody Pouch

The small pouch crosses the bunny’s front and rests on one side. The strap looks dark and narrow, while the pouch body matches the dress visually. To imitate the image closely, combine a fabric pouch body with a crocheted navy flap and crocheted strap.

Pouch Body

Cut two tiny rectangles of pinstripe fabric. Sew around the sides and bottom, turn, and lightly pad if desired. Keep it flat and compact.

Crocheted Flap

Using navy yarn:

1. Chain 8.
2. Row 1: sc across. (7)
3. Rows 2-4: sc across.
4. Row 5: dec, 3 sc, dec. (5)
5. Row 6: sc across.

Sew the flap to the pouch back. Add one small tan button or bead to the front for the closure detail. Make a long navy crocheted cord or chain strap and position it diagonally from one shoulder to the opposite hip.

Sneakers Make 2

The shoes are denim-blue high-top sneakers with white toe sections, white laces, and tiny daisy details on the outer sides. They are a major visual feature, so take time here. Make each shoe as a fitted cover that slides onto the bunny foot.

Sole

Using white yarn:

1. Chain 7.
2. Round 1: Starting in second chain from hook, 5 sc, 3 sc in last chain, work on opposite side, 4 sc, 2 sc in last. (14)
3. Round 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. Round 3: sc around in BLO. (20)

Shoe Body

Switch to denim blue:

1. Round 4: 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc. (16)
2. Round 5: sc around. (16)
3. Round 6: 5 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (14)
4. Round 7: sc around.

For the white toe panel, embroider or surface crochet a rounded white front cap. Add white vertical stitches for the lace area and cross them lightly to form laces. The top edge of the sneaker should rise around the ankle like a miniature high-top shoe.

Daisy Side Detail

• Make one tiny white flower with a yellow center for each shoe.
• Sew each flower to the outer ankle side.

The flower should be small enough to look decorative rather than oversized. Place it where it can still be seen beneath the pinafore hem.

Mini Teddy Bear

The tiny bear stands beside the bunny and wears blue overalls, a small blue hat, and holds a honey pot. The shape is simple and rounded. The bear should look clearly smaller than the bunny and slightly stockier, with a sweet toy-like silhouette.

Bear Head

Using caramel brown:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-9: sc around. (24)
6. Insert eyes between Rounds 6 and 7.
7. Round 10: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
8. Round 11: sc, dec around. (12)
9. Stuff firmly.
10. Round 12: dec around. (6)

Bear Muzzle

Using cream:

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

Sew to the lower center of the face. Embroider a tiny black nose and a short downward line. Keep the muzzle small and centered just like the image.

Bear Ears Make 2

• 6 sc in MR, then one round of sc. Flatten and sew high on the head.

Bear Body

Using caramel brown:

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

Bear Arms and Legs

Make tiny tubes for arms and slightly thicker short legs. Sew the legs so the bear stands upright. The arms angle slightly forward to help support the honey pot.

Bear Overalls

Using denim blue:

• Make a small bib panel.
• Make a waistband strip around the body.
• Add two narrow straps over the shoulders.
• Embroider or sew tiny tan button details where the straps meet the bib.

The overalls should end above the ankles and fit close to the belly. This creates the childlike farm-toy look seen in the image.

Bear Hat

Make a small navy-blue or medium-blue flat hat with a short brim. It should sit on top of the head rather than deeply covering it. A very tiny hat is enough to communicate the same look.

Honey Pot

Using yellow and tan:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc around.
4. Round 4: 10 sc, sl st, fasten off.

Embroider a darker rim or top accent. Sew it into one paw.

Picnic Basket

The basket is square-ish with soft corners, a fitted lid, and a curved handle. It sits beside the bunny and should look substantial but still miniature. Use tan yarn and very tight stitches. Insert lightweight plastic canvas if you want sharper edges.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Basket Base

1. Chain 9.
2. Round 1: Work an oval around the chain to about 22 stitches total.
3. Rounds 2-4: sc around.
4. Round 5: work in BLO to create side shaping.
5. Rounds 6-11: sc around evenly.

Shape the basket into a rectangular box with softened corners. The sides should stand upright and the opening should be neat and level.

Lid

Repeat the base shape, but stop at a shallower depth. Make it just deep enough to cap the top edge. Sew one side of the lid to the basket back so it opens like a hinged picnic basket lid, or stitch it closed if you want a display-only piece.

Handle

Chain a strip long enough to arch over the basket. Work back along it in sc, then sew the ends to opposite sides. The handle in the image is fairly thick and rounded, not thin or delicate.

Teapot

The teapot is pale blue with a darker blue lid and matching accents. It has a stout rounded body, a curved spout, and a small side handle. Make it tiny but recognizable.

Body

Using pale blue:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-6: sc around.
6. Round 7: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
7. Round 8: sc around.

Stuff lightly so the body keeps shape but does not bulge too much.

Spout, Handle, and Lid

• Spout: make a short tapered tube, then sew to one side angled upward.
• Handle: chain a curved strip and sew opposite the spout.
• Lid: make a tiny navy circle with a small center nub and sew or tack on top.

Tea Cups Make 2

Using pale blue yarn:

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc around in BLO.
4. Round 4: sc around.

Make a tiny handle for each cup with a short chain loop. Sew to the side. Add a white inner surface with a stitched circle or felt insert if you want the pale filled look seen in the image.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the bunny head, body, arms, and legs together.
2. Attach the ears under the future hat line.
3. Complete the facial embroidery and blush.
4. Dress the bunny in the white top.
5. Fit and secure the pinafore dress.
6. Add the crossbody pouch.
7. Place the sneakers on the feet and tack them if needed.
8. Set the hat on the head and stitch it in a few hidden points.
9. Assemble the bear and its clothing.
10. Finish the basket, teapot, and cups.

Styling Notes for an Accurate Match

• The bunny’s head should be noticeably larger than the body.
• The ears must hang straight down rather than standing upright.
• The blouse sleeves should look rounded and puffy.
• The dress must have navy-and-white vertical stripes.
• The hat should sit low enough to frame the eyes.
• The pouch should rest diagonally across the front.
• The sneakers should show white laces and tiny side daisies.
• The bear should be clearly smaller and slightly sturdier in proportion.
• The tea set should stay simple and soft in shape.

Helpful Tips for Beginners

If you are newer to amigurumi, start with the bunny head and one ear before making the whole set. That will help you test your hook size and yarn tension. Tight stitches matter more here than speed. The clean rounded shapes are what make the finished set look polished and premium.

When making the clothing and accessories, pause often and compare scale. The set looks best when nothing is oversized. Even the basket handle, shoe flowers, pouch flap, and bear hat should stay small and controlled. Mini details are what give this scene its sweet finished personality.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the head sits straight and the ears fall evenly. Adjust the hat so the brim frames the face without hiding the eyes. Revisit the nose embroidery if needed. A tiny centered peach nose, faint blush, and balanced eye placement will do more for the finished look than any extra embellishment.

Once everything is in place, tack the dress, pouch strap, hat, and shoes with a few hidden stitches. This keeps the display stable and prevents shifting. Arrange the bear, basket, teapot, and cups beside the bunny so the whole scene feels calm, tidy, and storybook-like.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight.
• Dust gently with a soft dry brush.
• Spot clean only when possible.
• Avoid soaking parts that include stuffing, blush, or mixed materials.
• Store the set flat in a clean dry box when not displayed.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• • Hat fits low and evenly.

• Daisy on hat is small and off-center.
• Ears hang symmetrically.
• Face is soft and centered.
• Puff sleeves look full.
• Pinstripe pinafore hangs smoothly.
• Pouch sits diagonally.
• Sneakers show laces and daisies.
• Bear is smaller and dressed.
• Basket, teapot, and cups match the scale.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For routine care, use a dry soft brush or a low-suction vacuum through a mesh screen to lift surface dust. If a small mark appears on the crocheted sections, dab gently with a cloth that is only slightly damp. Do not rub hard, especially on the face, blush, or embroidered details.

If the dress or pouch is made with fabric, test any moisture on an inner area first. Let all pieces air dry fully before storing. Keep the set away from humidity, strong perfume, smoke, and prolonged sun exposure. Acid-free tissue inside the basket and hat can help preserve shape over time.
