Crochet Tutorial: Peony Bunny – Free Crochet Pattern

This sweet crochet set features a softly dressed bunny doll with a floral hat, patchwork-style dress, tiny crossbody bag, picnic mat, basket, and a small squirrel friend. It is perfect for makers searching for an amigurumi doll pattern, handmade bunny gift, cottagecore nursery decor, or collectible crochet toy project.

The finished pieces have the look of a boutique handmade plush set you might shop for as a baby shower gift, heirloom toy, spring display piece, or artisan amigurumi doll. The gentle pink palette, floral motifs, and soft proportions make this design especially charming for gifting and display.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Bunny Doll Pattern

Head

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts
  2. Rnd 2: inc in each st around. 12 sts
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18 sts
  4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24 sts
  5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30 sts
  6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36 sts
  7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42 sts
  8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48 sts
  9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54 sts
  10. Rnd 10: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60 sts
  11. Rnd 11: (9 sc, inc) x 6. 66 sts
  12. Rnd 12: (10 sc, inc) x 6. 72 sts
  13. Rnd 13-24: sc in each st around. 72 sts

Insert 8 mm safety eyes between Rnds 18 and 19, leaving 11 visible sts between them. The eyes should sit slightly low on the face so the forehead remains tall and rounded.

  1. Rnd 25: (10 sc, dec) x 6. 66 sts
  2. Rnd 26: (9 sc, dec) x 6. 60 sts
  3. Rnd 27: (8 sc, dec) x 6. 54 sts
  4. Rnd 28: (7 sc, dec) x 6. 48 sts
  5. Rnd 29: (6 sc, dec) x 6. 42 sts

Stuff the head firmly, shaping the cheeks and crown as you go.

  1. Rnd 30: (5 sc, dec) x 6. 36 sts
  2. Rnd 31: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30 sts

Do not fasten off if joining directly to the neck and body.

Muzzle Shaping and Face Placement

The bunny in the image has a very soft, nearly flat muzzle rather than a protruding snout. Do not crochet a separate muzzle. Instead, embroider directly onto the head after assembly.

  • Place the nose centered between the eyes, with the top of the nose sitting around Rnd 20.
  • Embroider a small horizontal triangle or tiny satin-stitched wedge in dusty pink.
  • Add a short vertical line down 2 stitches.
  • Lightly shade cheeks with pink embroidery or blush just below the eyes.
  • Brows are tiny curved lines embroidered one round above the eyes and slightly outward.

Body

Continue from head or join cream yarn to create the neck.

  1. Rnd 1: sc around. 30 sts
  2. Rnd 2: in BLO, sc around. 30 sts
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. 30 sts
  4. Rnd 4: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36 sts

  7. Rnd 7-10: sc around. 42 sts
  8. Rnd 11: (5 sc, dec) x 6. 36 sts
  9. Rnd 12-13: sc around. 36 sts
  10. Rnd 14: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30 sts
  11. Rnd 15-16: sc around. 30 sts

Stuff the torso moderately. The body should stay slender because the dress provides most of the volume seen in the image.

Legs Make 2

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts
  2. Rnd 2: inc in each st around. 12 sts
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18 sts
  4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24 sts
  5. Rnd 5: in BLO, sc around. 24 sts

  7. Rnd 7: 7 sc, 5 dec, 7 sc. 19 sts

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the foot firmly and continue stuffing lightly through the leg.

For first leg, fasten off. For second leg, do not fasten off.

Joining Legs

Place both feet facing forward.

  1. Ch 3 from second leg and join to first leg.
  2. Rnd 1: 17 sc around first leg, 3 sc across chain, 17 sc around second leg, 3 sc on opposite side of chain. 40 sts

  6. Rnd 5: 8 sc, dec, 17 sc, dec, 9 sc. 36 sts

Continue with body Rnd 15 above if you are working upward from the legs, or seam body and legs if you worked them separately. Either method is fine, but a seamless join gives the smoothest silhouette.

Arms Make 2

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts
  2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. 9 sts
  3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. 9 sts
  4. Rnd 5: dec, 7 sc. 8 sts
  5. Rnd 6-16: sc around. 8 sts

Lightly stuff only the top third of each arm. Flatten the opening and close with 4 sc through both layers. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Sew arms to the sides of the torso between body Rnds 4 and 7. Angle them slightly downward, matching the relaxed pose in the image.

Ears Make 2

Using cream yarn.

  2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. 9 sts
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. 9 sts
  4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 3. 12 sts

  10. Rnd 25: (2 sc, dec) x 3. 9 sts
  11. Rnd 26-30: sc around. 9 sts

Flatten each ear and sew the base closed with a few stitches. Leave most of the ear unstuffed. Add only a pinch of stuffing at the bottom if needed.

Sew ears to the head around Rnds 8 to 11, about 9 stitches apart. Let them fall straight downward along the sides of the face, as shown in the image.

Tail

Using cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts
  2. Rnd 2: inc in each st around. 12 sts
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18 sts
  4. Rnd 4: sc around. 18 sts
  5. Rnd 5: (sc, dec) x 6. 12 sts

Stuff lightly, flatten slightly, and sew centered on the lower back just under the dress edge if you want a removable dress. If your dress is permanently sewn, attach tail first.

Dress

The dress in the image is built from floral square motifs joined into a fitted bodice and flared skirt. To match the look closely, crochet firm but not stiff squares. Make the flower centers slightly raised by working around the center ring carefully and pulling the ring closed firmly.

Small Floral Granny Square Make 10

Use 2.25 mm hook. Each square should measure about 3.2 to 3.5 cm after blocking lightly.

Round 1, flower center: Using mauve rose, make MR, ch 1, 8 sc in MR, sl st to first sc. 8 sts

Round 2, petals: Change to pale blush. In each stitch work: (sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st). Repeat 8 times. Fasten off if you prefer. You now have 8 small petals.

Round 3, square shaping: Join soft white behind any petal. Ch 3, 2 dc in same joining space, 2 dc in next space, 3 dc in next space, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next space for first corner. Continue around using 3 dc in the spaces between petals and working a corner in every second petal gap so the flower becomes a square. Join with sl st.

Round 4, border: Change to dusty rose. Ch 1. Sc in each st across sides. In each corner ch-2 space work (sc, ch 2, sc). Join with sl st. Fasten off.

Make 10 squares total:

  • 2 for bodice front upper area
  • 2 for bodice back upper area

Joining the Bodice Squares

Arrange 4 squares in one row for the upper body band: 2 front, 2 back. Join side to side with whip stitch or slip stitch through back loops only.

Wrap around the bunny torso to check fit. The strip should sit snugly just under the arms. If your yarn runs thicker, reduce one side seam by slightly overlapping the last square edge while sewing.

Bodice Edging and Straps

Skirt Attachment

  2. Rnd 2: sc around. 72 sts
  3. Rnd 3: (11 sc, inc) x 6. 78 sts
  4. Rnd 4: sc around. 78 sts
  5. Rnd 5: (12 sc, inc) x 6. 84 sts
  6. Rnd 6: sc around. 84 sts

For hem edging in deeper mauve rose:

  2. Rnd 8: (2 sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc) in first 6 sts, sl st in next st. Rep around to create soft shell edging.

Care Notes

  • Display pieces stay nicest when kept away from direct sunlight.
  • Spot clean whenever possible.
  • If gifting to a child under 3, replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes.
  • Do not machine dry.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head stuffed firmly and evenly
  • Eyes placed low enough for the same gentle expression
  • Ears attached symmetrically and hanging straight
  • Dress fitted but not tight
  • Hat brim shaped softly downward
  • Bag strap length balanced diagonally across body
  • Squirrel tail curved upward
  • All ends woven in securely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a barely damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning. Press gently rather than rubbing, especially over embroidered facial details and flower motifs. Reshape while drying flat on a towel.

For long-term preservation, store in a breathable cotton bag or covered display box. Avoid plastic bags for long periods in humid rooms. Keep away from moth exposure, dust buildup, and heavy stacking that can flatten the hat brim or ears.
