Overview

This project is designed as a complete display set.

The main bunny is worked in soft cream and crimson, with a rounded head, long floppy ears, a simple embroidered nose, glossy safety eyes, a neat blouse, a flared skirt, Mary Jane style shoes, and a rounded brim hat.

The look in the image depends on proportion.

The head is large and sweet, the body is smaller and neat, the legs are straight and slender, and the arms are softly stuffed with a gentle downward angle. The accessories are small, polished, and carefully balanced so the whole arrangement feels coordinated.

• Skirt
• Pearl-look waist trim

Size

The bunny should stand about 10 to 12 inches tall, depending on yarn and tension.

The teddy should be about one-third the bunny’s height.

The cup, basket, and flower should stay small enough to feel like tabletop props rather than toys equal in scale to the bunny.

Notes Before You Begin

• Work in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
• Use a stitch marker at the start of every round.
• Stuff firmly, but do not overstuff. The image shows smooth shaping without stretching gaps.
• The bunny’s face is minimal. Keep it soft and clean.
• The blouse and skirt should look neat and dressed, not bulky.
• The hat must sit low with a rounded crown and a downward brim.

Main Bunny

Head

Using cream yarn:

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)

10. Rnd 10 to 19: sc around. (54)

Place the safety eyes between Rnds 12 and 13, with about 10 to 12 visible stitches between them.

The eyes in the image are medium-sized, glossy, and set wide apart to keep the expression calm and gentle.

Embroider a small soft pink triangular nose centered two rounds below the eyes.

Keep the nose short and fine.

Do not add a large mouth. If you want one, use a tiny straight stitch or a very short Y-shape below the nose, but keep it subtle.

1. Rnd 20: 7 sc, dec around. (48)
2. Rnd 21: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
3. Rnd 22: 5 sc, dec around. (36)

Stuff the head firmly and evenly.

Shape the cheeks with your fingers as you stuff so the face remains broad and softly rounded rather than tall or narrow.

1. Rnd 23: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
2. Rnd 24: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

Fasten off if making the head separately, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Ears Make 2

Using cream yarn:

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

7. Rnd 18 to 22: sc around. (12)

Flatten the ear opening and crochet 6 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing.

Do not stuff.

The ears in the image are long, flat, and relaxed, falling straight down along the sides of the head. They are not overly wide and should taper gently toward the tip.

7. Rnd 12: 3 sc, dec around. (24)
8. Rnd 13 to 16: sc around. (24)

Stuff the body firmly at the base and more lightly near the top.

The torso in the image is compact and straight with only a soft curve. It should support the blouse and skirt without looking round or heavy.

Legs Make 2

Start with crimson for the shoe sole.

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

Change to cream.

1. Rnd 5 to 15: sc around. (18)

Stuff the foot and leg firmly.

The legs are straight and fairly slim, with enough structure to stand under the skirt.

Flatten the top and close with 9 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing.

Arms Make 2

Using cream yarn:

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 15: sc around. (10)

Stuff lightly, especially near the top.

The arms should bend softly and hang downward.

Flatten and close with 5 sc, or leave open for sewing.

Clothing and Main Accessories

Blouse Section

The blouse in the image looks like a fitted cream top integrated over the body, not a separate bulky sweater.

You can create this look in one of two ways:

• Crochet the body entirely in cream and add a separate ruffle collar and bow.
• Or add a shallow blouse overlay worked around the upper body.

For the cleanest finish, use the first option.

Ruffle Collar

Using cream yarn:

1. Ch 24, join into a ring without twisting, or size the chain to fit around the neck.
2. Rnd 1: sc around.
3. Rnd 2: in each stitch work 2 dc.
4. Rnd 3: alternate 1 dc and 2 dc around for extra fullness.

Fasten off with a long tail.

Sew around the neck so the frill sits high and open, framing the face.

The ruffle should be soft and gathered, but not so large that it hides the shoulder bag strap or neckline bow.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Neck Bow

Using crimson yarn:

1. Ch 9.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (8)
3. Rows 2 to 4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)

Fasten off.

Wrap the center with yarn to form a bow.

Sew to the center front of the neck below the ruffle.

The bow in the image is small, velvet-like in feel, and neatly tied, not oversized.

Skirt

Using crimson yarn:

1. Ch enough to fit around the waist comfortably. Join into a ring.
2. Rnd 1: sc around.
3. Rnd 2: 2 sc in every 4th stitch around.
4. Rnd 3: sc around.
5. Rnd 4: 2 sc in every 3rd or 4th stitch around.
6. Rnd 5 to 9: sc or hdc around to desired length.

The skirt should flare outward into a gentle bell shape.

It should end above the ankles, leaving the legs and shoes fully visible.

Do not make it too long or too ruffled.

The image shows a tidy, structured skirt with visible horizontal rounds and a clean hem.

Pearl Waist Trim

At the top edge of the skirt, add a narrow belt effect.

You may sew small pearl beads around the waistline, or embroider evenly spaced white knots if beads are not suitable.

This detail is important because it separates the cream top from the crimson skirt and gives the outfit a polished parlor style.

Shoulder Bag

Using cream yarn for the bag body and crimson for the trim.

Front and Back Panels Make 2

1. Ch 11.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (10)
3. Rows 2 to 8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (10)

For the flap, on one panel only:

1. Row 9: sc across 8 stitches.
2. Rows 10 to 12: sc across 8.

Edge the flap with crimson yarn using sc or sl st.

Sew the front and back together along the sides and bottom.

Add a long cream strap made with a chained cord or Romanian cord.

The purse in the image is soft rectangular with rounded edges, worn crossbody from the bunny’s left shoulder to right hip.

It sits low against the skirt and has a crimson-edged flap.

Hat

Using crimson yarn:

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 to 12: sc around. (42)
9. Rnd 13: in FLO, sc around. (42)
10. Rnd 14: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
11. Rnd 15: 7 sc, inc around. (54)
12. Rnd 16: sc around. (54)

Fasten off.

The hat should resemble a cloche or rounded bucket hat with a slightly curved downward brim.

It sits low on the head and covers the top of the ears, while the ears continue downward beneath it.

Shoes Make 2

The legs already include the shoe base.

Add the upper shoe shaping by embroidering or surface crocheting a crimson line across the front lower foot to create the look of a separate sole.

Then add a tiny bow to each shoe.

For each bow:

1. Ch 5.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (4)
3. Rows 2 to 3: sc across.

Wrap center and sew to the outer front side of each shoe.

The bows in the image sit near the ankle area and angle outward slightly.

Wrist Flowers Make 2

Using crimson yarn:

1. Ch 4, join.
2. Work 5 petals into the ring. Each petal: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.

Sew one small flower near each wrist.

These details are tiny, but they visually connect the bow, shoes, hat, and skirt.

Assembly of the Bunny Base

1. Sew the head to the body, keeping the face centered and slightly forward.
2. Sew the legs to the bottom of the body so the bunny stands straight.
3. Sew the arms slightly below neck level, angled downward.
4. Sew the ears to the upper sides of the head, then let them fall straight down.
5. Add the ruffle collar.
6. Sew on the neck bow.
7. Attach the skirt around the waist.
8. Add the pearl trim.
9. Position the purse strap across the chest and sew discreetly in place.
10. Place the hat last.

Check the silhouette from the front before securing everything permanently.

The image shows a balanced, symmetrical look with only a gentle natural drape from the bag strap and ears.

Teddy Bear Companion

Head

Using tan or light brown:

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)
6. Rnd 9: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
7. Rnd 10: sc around. (18)

5. Rnd 7: sc, dec around. (12)

Stuff lightly.

Arms and Legs

Make tiny tube limbs in tan.

Each arm may be 6 sc around for 5 to 6 rounds.

Each leg may be 6 sc around for 6 to 7 rounds with a slightly wider foot if desired.

Sew seated so the teddy rests naturally.

Blue Shirt

Using light blue yarn, make a simple vest or shirt panel fitted to the teddy torso.

Keep it short, clean, and close to the body.

The image shows a classic blue top without extra trim.

Blue Hat

Make a tiny round hat with a shallow crown and a narrow brim.

It should look slightly tilted and charming rather than sharply structured.

Book

Make two small rectangles in off-white and dark yarn.

Sew together like a closed book and place it against one teddy paw.

The book is narrow and vertical in the image.

Yarn Basket

Using tan yarn:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: in BLO, sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 6 to 9: sc around. (24)

Shape into a low oval or round basket by lightly blocking with your fingers.

Add a handle made from a long chain covered with sl st or sc.

Attach the handle at both sides.

Make three small yarn balls in cream, crimson, and muted green or blue-gray.

Simple tiny spheres of 6, 12, 12, 6 work well.

Tea Cup and Saucer

Saucer

Using cream yarn:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR.
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rnd 5: sl st or crab stitch around for a neat edge.

Cup

Using cream yarn:

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

Add a crimson stripe near the rim using surface crochet or a color-change round.

Add a tiny handle from chained stitches.

The cup in the image is small, round, and shallow, sitting centered on the saucer.

Flower Applique

Using crimson and a tiny bit of yellow and green:

1. Make a yellow center ring.
2. Work 5 rounded crimson petals around it using dc or tr for fullness.
3. Add one or two small green leaves beneath.

This flower lies flat on the table in front of the bunny.

It should be fuller and more layered than the wrist flowers.

Styling Notes

• The bunny should be the visual center.
• The teddy belongs slightly to the right side.
• The basket and cup balance the left side.
• The flower applique sits near the front for a finished vignette look.
• The crimson details should match closely across the whole set.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the bunny’s head is straight and that both ears fall evenly.

Make sure the eyes are level and the nose is centered.

Sew the collar so it frames the neck instead of covering the chin.

Position the bow at the exact center front.

Adjust the skirt so the hemline is even all the way around.

Place the purse so it rests at the right hip and does not twist.

The hat should sit low and slightly rounded, covering the top of the head neatly.

Before finishing, gently press the stuffed shapes with your hands to smooth any lumps.

If needed, add tiny tacking stitches under the hat brim, purse strap, or ears to keep the photographed look stable.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from strong sunlight.
• Do not machine wash.
• Spot clean first whenever possible.
• Handle the tiny accessories gently.
• Keep beads and small parts away from young children.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head and body proportion look balanced
• Ears are equal in length
• Eyes are even
• Nose is centered
• Collar is soft and full
• Bow is neat
• Skirt flares evenly
• Pearl trim is level
• Purse hangs diagonally across the body
• Shoe bows match
• Wrist flowers are secure
• Teddy, basket, cup, and flower are all in scale

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a soft dry brush to remove dust from the stitches.

If deeper cleaning is needed, lightly dab with a cloth moistened in cool water and mild soap, then blot with a dry towel.

Do not soak stuffed pieces unless absolutely necessary.

If you wash any part, reshape it while damp and let it air dry fully on a towel.

Store the set flat or upright in a clean dry place.

To preserve the hat brim, ears, collar, and skirt, avoid crushing them under heavy objects.

For long-term display, rotating the direction of the set now and then can help prevent uneven fading.
