Pattern Overview

This pattern is written in US English crochet terms and is designed to recreate the complete scene shown in the image:

• Main bunny doll
• Lavender dress
• Wisteria waterfall kimono-style cardigan
• Round brim hat
• Fringe crossbody bag with hanging charms
• Lace-up sandals
• Tiny puppy companion with hoodie-style wrap and cap
• Mini basket accessory

The style of the doll in the image is tall, slim, softly structured, and neatly proportioned. The head is large but not oversized, the ears are long and narrow, the arms are short and slightly angled downward, and the legs are slim with a gentle seated or standing curve. The stitches appear even and compact, so use a hook smaller than the yarn label suggests to reduce gaps.

Gauge and Tension Notes

The image shows a firm, polished finish with small, balanced stitches. Keep your tension tight enough that stuffing does not show through. If your fabric looks loose, move down a hook size.

For the clothing pieces, especially the cardigan and hat, you can relax your tension slightly so the drape stays soft while still looking tidy.

Design Notes

• The doll is worked mostly in continuous rounds unless a row instruction says otherwise.
• Mark the first stitch of each round.
• Stuff gradually and firmly, especially the head, neck base, body base, and feet.
• The cardigan is intentionally oversized and draped.
• The puppy is small and decorative, so very tiny stitches are helpful.

Embroider a tiny horizontal nose centered between the eyes, about 3 rounds lower than the eye line. Add a very short vertical stitch below it to suggest a delicate muzzle split.

13. Rnd 25: (10 sc, dec) x 6. (66)

2. Rnd 2: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)
3. Rnd 3-5: sc around. (12)

Stuff the body firmly but keep the lower body slightly flatter in front so the dress sits nicely.

7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
8. Rnd 8: sc around. (14)

Stuff toe and sole area. Flatten the foot slightly so it looks sandal-shaped rather than round.

9. Rnd 9: 3 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec, 2 sc. (12)
10. Rnds 10-22: sc around. (12)

Lightly stuff the leg, leaving the uppermost inch less stuffed so it can angle naturally from the body.

For the second leg, finish the same way. Align both feet to face forward.

Joining Legs and Lower Body

1. Rnd 1: 12 sc around first leg, 3 sc across joining gap, 12 sc around second leg, 3 sc across other side of gap. (30)
2. Rnd 2: sc around. (30)

Fasten off leaving a long tail. Sew the joined legs to the underside of the body so the doll stands straight. The legs in the image are placed slightly apart, not touching all the way up.

8. Rnd 12-18: sc around. (12)
9. Rnd 19: (2 sc, dec) x 3. (9)
10. Rnd 20-30: sc around. (9)

Do not stuff. Flatten gently. Fold the top opening slightly and sew closed. Sew each ear to the upper sides of the head beneath the hat line. Let them hang long and straight down.

Dress

Using light lavender yarn. The dress is a simple sleeveless tube dress with a straight silhouette and a neat neckline.

Work from the top down.

1. Ch 25. Join carefully to form a ring.
2. Rnd 1: ch 1, sc in each ch around. (25)

Fasten off. The hem should end above the knees, just like the image. Slip the dress onto the doll before attaching the cardigan.

Boho Cardigan

This cardigan is the most visible clothing piece in the image. It has wide sleeves, an open front, a long draped body, and decorative wisteria-like vertical striping on the sleeves and outer panels.

Use light lavender as the main color, with medium lavender and dark violet for the waterfall details.

Back Panel

1. Using light lavender, ch 27.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (26)
3. Rows 2-22: ch 1, turn, sc across. (26)

Fasten off.

Left Front Panel

1. Ch 15.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (14)
3. Rows 2-22: ch 1, turn, sc across. (14)

Fasten off.

Right Front Panel

Repeat Left Front Panel.

Sleeves Make 2

The sleeves are wide and kimono-like.

1. Using light lavender, ch 23.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (22)
3. Rows 2-14: ch 1, turn, sc across. (22)

Do not fasten off if you want to add decorative columns immediately.

Wisteria Waterfall Texture

Lay the sleeve flat with the row direction vertical. Join medium lavender in a row end near one edge.

1. Surface Column 1: *sl st into row end, ch 2* evenly down the sleeve length for a soft raised line.
2. Surface Column 2: Repeat 4 to 5 stitches away using dark violet.
3. Surface Column 3: Repeat 4 to 5 stitches away using medium lavender.
4. Surface Column 4: Optional partial line in pale lavender near outer edge.

To create the leafy cluster look seen in the image, work on selected surface columns:

1. Join yarn at top of a surface column.
2. *sl st in base point, ch 3, sl st in next lower point, ch 3, sl st in next lower point*.
3. Repeat several times to form small hanging loops.
4. Add these loops mainly on the outer sleeve and outer front edges, not all over the cardigan.

This gives the cascading botanical look without making the sleeve bulky.

Assembly of Cardigan

1. Sew left and right front panels to the back panel at the shoulders, leaving a center neck opening.
2. Sew sleeve top edges to the arm openings.
3. Sew side seams from cardigan hem upward, leaving armholes open as needed.
4. Sew sleeve underarm seams.

The cardigan should hang long, open in front, and reach below the dress hem. It should look relaxed and slightly oversized.

Front Border

Join light lavender at lower front edge.

1. Rnd 1: sc evenly up left front, around neckline, and down right front.
2. Rnd 2: hdc evenly all around.
3. Rnd 3: sc evenly all around.

Fasten off. This gives the tidy band visible around the front opening.

Color Placement and Finishing Notes

• Keep the bunny body, head, arms, legs, and ears in the same warm cream shade.
• Use a pale blush brushed lightly on the cheeks after assembly.
• The dress should be a clean soft lavender.
• The cardigan should be lavender with deeper violet surface detailing concentrated on sleeves and front edges.
• The hat, bag, basket, and sandal laces should share similar warm tan tones.
• The puppy should be mainly brown with cream muzzle and paws.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head securely to the neck, then attach ears so they fall straight down beside the face. Add the dress, slide on the cardigan, place the hat low but not covering the eyes, then secure the crossbody bag so it hangs at hip level. Lightly blush the cheeks and keep the mouth tiny for the sweet expression shown.

Care Notes

Spot clean whenever possible. If full washing is needed, hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap, reshape while damp, and air dry flat. Avoid twisting the cardigan fringe or the puppy accessories.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Eyes centered and evenly spaced
• Ears sewn at matching height
• Dress length above the knees
• Cardigan hanging open and symmetrical
• Hat brim shaped evenly
• Bag strap crossing diagonally
• Sandals wrapped neatly
• Puppy and basket scaled small beside the doll

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the finished set away from direct sunlight to protect the lavender and violet shades from fading. Keep the doll upright or laid flat in a dust-free area. For long-term display, avoid moisture, harsh detergents, and heavy pressure on the hat brim, ears, and fringe so the silhouette stays true to the original design.
