Pattern Notes

This pattern is written in US English and uses standard US crochet terms. The finished bunny is designed to closely match the proportions in the image, with a large rounded head, slim neck, gently tapered torso, short arms, long soft ears, layered skirt, puff sleeves, and a shallow-brim summer hat.

The accessory scale matters a lot in this design. The fox should sit at about half the bunny’s seated leg length. The berry basket should reach just below the bunny’s knee. The books should stack to about the same height as the berry basket. The purse should sit at upper thigh level.

Work tightly throughout so the stuffing does not show. Use invisible decreases where possible. Unless otherwise stated, work in continuous spirals. Mark the first stitch of each round. Stuff firmly but gradually, especially in the head, lower body, and feet.

  • MR = magic ring
  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • inc = 2 sc in same stitch
  • dec = invisible decrease
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • BLO = back loop only
  • FLO = front loop only
  • st = stitch
  • rnd = round

Materials

  • Light DK or fine cotton yarn in cream, pale blue, white, black, tan, pink, sage, soft green, rust orange, dark brown, berry red, and pale gray
  • 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm crochet hook
  • Polyfill stuffing
  • 8 mm black safety eyes for bunny
  • 5 mm black safety eyes for fox
  • Embroidery needle
  • Black embroidery thread
  • Pink embroidery thread
  • Dressmaker pins

  • Fox: approximately 9 to 10 cm tall seated
  • Berry basket: approximately 4 cm tall
  • Books: approximately 2.5 cm wide each
  • Watering can: approximately 3.5 cm long

Bunny Head

Use cream yarn. The head is slightly oversized and nearly spherical, but the lower face narrows just a little before joining to the neck. That subtle taper is important for matching the photo.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24
  5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30
  6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
  7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
  8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
  9. Rnds 9 to 16: sc around. 48
  10. Rnd 17: (6 sc, dec) x 6. 42
  11. Rnd 18: sc around. 42
  12. Rnd 19: (5 sc, dec) x 6. 36
  13. Rnd 20: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30

Insert the bunny eyes between rnds 11 and 12 with about 9 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the image sit fairly low and wide, which creates the soft childlike expression. Before continuing, embroider a tiny pink nose centered between rnds 13 and 14.

For the mouth, stitch one short vertical line directly under the nose, then make a tiny split line to each side. Keep it delicate. Embroider faint pink blush circles under the eyes, slightly outward from the nose line. Stuff the head very firmly, especially the cheeks and forehead.

  1. Rnd 21: (3 sc, dec) x 6. 24
  2. Rnd 22: sc around. 24
  3. Rnd 23: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 24: BLO sc around. 18

Do not fasten off if you want a no-sew join to the neck and body. If you prefer sewing later, fasten off with a long tail.

Bunny Ears Make 2

Use cream yarn. These ears are long, softly stuffed only at the base, and slightly flattened. They should hang past the shoulders, with the bottom ending around upper skirt level after assembly.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 5: (sc, dec) x 6. 12
  6. Rnds 6 to 24: sc around. 12
  7. Rnd 25: Flatten ear and sc through both layers across 6 stitches.

Leave a long tail for sewing. Add a tiny amount of stuffing only in the first 4 to 5 rounds so the ear base stands with gentle shape, while the rest remains flexible and drapes naturally.

Bunny Arms Make 2

Use cream yarn for the hands and pale blue for sleeves. The arms are short and softly tapered, ending just above the second skirt ruffle when attached.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. 9
  3. Rnds 3 to 6: sc around. 9
  4. Change to pale blue.
  5. Rnd 7: BLO sc around. 9
  6. Rnd 8: (2 sc, inc) x 3. 12
  7. Rnd 9: sc around. 12
  8. Rnd 10: (2 sc, dec) x 3. 9
  9. Rnd 11: sc around. 9
  10. Flatten and sc through both layers across 4 stitches.

Stuff the hand lightly and the sleeve very lightly. Leave a long tail.

Bunny Legs Make 2

The feet are small, rounded, and slightly forward-facing. The shoes are worked separately later, so make the base legs in cream. Stuff the feet firmly and the upper legs lightly.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: sc around. 18
  5. Rnd 5: 6 sc, 3 dec, 6 sc. 15
  6. Rnd 6: 5 sc, 2 dec, 6 sc. 13
  7. Rnd 7: sc around. 13
  8. Rnd 8: 3 sc, 3 dec, 4 sc. 10
  9. Rnds 9 to 16: sc around. 10

Fasten off first leg. Make second leg but do not fasten off.

Bunny Body

The body is softly pear-shaped. It should be slim under the dress but still stable enough to support the head. The lower body widens gently for the skirt and narrows to a sweet collar area at the top.

  1. Join legs: ch 4 from second leg and join to first leg.
  2. Rnd 1: 10 sc around first leg, 4 sc across chain, 10 sc around second leg, 4 sc across other side of chain. 28
  3. Rnd 2: sc around. 28
  4. Rnd 3: (6 sc, inc) x 4. 32
  5. Rnd 4: sc around. 32
  6. Rnd 5: (7 sc, inc) x 4. 36
  7. Rnds 6 to 9: sc around. 36
  8. Rnd 10: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30
  9. Rnd 11: sc around. 30
  10. Rnd 12: (3 sc, dec) x 6. 24
  11. Rnd 13: sc around. 24
  12. Rnd 14: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18
  13. Rnd 15: sc around. 18

Stuff the body firmly at the hips and lower torso, then more lightly toward the chest. If joining directly to the head, align rnd 24 of the head with rnd 15 of the body and sc through both layers around. Otherwise sew the head on later.

Tail

Use cream yarn.

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

Stuff lightly and sew to the back of the body, centered just above the top of the legs. Keep it small and rounded.

White Layered Skirt

The skirt is the key clothing feature. It sits high at the waist and falls in layered ruffles. To match the image, the skirt must look soft, full, and slightly bell-shaped rather than stiff or flat.

Use white yarn. Begin with a waistband that fits snugly around the bunny’s waist at rnd 9 to 10 of the body.

  1. Ch 31. Join carefully without twisting.
  2. Rnd 1: sc in each ch around. 30
  3. Rnd 2: BLO sc around. 30
  4. Rnd 3: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
  5. Rnd 4: sc around. 36
  6. Rnd 5: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
  7. Rnd 6: sc around. 42
  8. Rnd 7: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
  9. Rnd 8: sc around. 48

Now create the lower body of the skirt and the first ruffle support line.

  1. Rnd 9: BLO sc around. 48
  2. Rnd 10: sc around. 48
  3. Rnd 11: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
  4. Rnd 12: sc around. 54
  5. Rnd 13: BLO sc around. 54
  6. Rnd 14: sc around. 54
  7. Rnd 15: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
  8. Rnd 16: sc around. 60
  9. Rnd 17: BLO sc around. 60
  10. Rnd 18: sc around. 60

Fasten off. Sew the skirt around the waist so the top edge sits beneath the blue bodice. Let it flare outward slightly.

Skirt Ruffle 1 Lowest Ruffle

Join white yarn to the front loops left from rnd 17.

  1. Rnd 1: (2 dc in each st) around. 120
  2. Rnd 2: (dc, inc in dc) around. 180
  3. Rnd 3: sc around loosely, or work a decorative shell edge of (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) repeated every 3 to 4 stitches as needed for a softly rippled finish.

Skirt Ruffle 2 Middle Ruffle

Join white yarn to the front loops left from rnd 13.

  1. Rnd 1: (2 dc in each st) around. 108
  2. Rnd 2: dc around.
  3. Rnd 3: Light picot-like edging if desired, but keep subtle.

Skirt Ruffle 3 Upper Ruffle

Join white yarn to the front loops left from rnd 9.

  1. Rnd 1: (2 dc in each st) around. 96
  2. Rnd 2: dc around.
  3. Rnd 3: sc around or very soft shell edge.

Embroider tiny scattered pastel flower dots across the skirt with pink, pale blue, and sage thread. Keep them small and sparse. Add two tiny black bow details at front lower left and lower right, matching the image placement.

Blue Bodice

Use pale blue yarn. This bodice sits over the top of the white skirt and creates the dress shape. The front is neat and smooth, with soft puff sleeves attached at the shoulders.

  1. Ch 19.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 18. 18
  3. Rows 2 to 8: ch 1, turn, sc across. 18

Wrap the strip around the upper body. Sew the back seam neatly. The bodice should fit snugly from upper waist to shoulder line. Add a narrow white collar on top.

White Collar

Use white yarn. Work around the top edge of the bodice strip after it is attached.

  1. Join yarn at center back.
  2. Work sc evenly around neckline.
  3. On front half only, work one more row of (sc, hdc) alternating for a gently rounded collar look.

Sew the collar down so it lays flat and shows like a Peter Pan collar. The collar should frame the neck without standing upright.

Puff Sleeves Make 2

Use pale blue yarn. These should be round and puffy at the upper arm, but short. The sleeve shape in the image is compact and soft, not long.

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

Stuff very lightly or not at all. Sew over the top half of each arm where cream meets blue, then sew the sleeve top to the bodice shoulder line.

Neck Bow

Use black yarn or black ribbon. Make a tiny chain of about 18, tie into a bow, and sew directly at the center of the collar. Leave short tails hanging down.

Shoes Make 2

Use pale blue yarn with white trim and tiny embroidered pink flowers. The shoes should cover the front half of the foot and have a strap across the instep.

  1. Ch 7.
  2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch, 5 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side 4 sc, inc. 14
  3. Rnd 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20
  4. Rnd 3: BLO sc around. 20
  5. Rnd 4: 5 sc, 5 dec, 5 sc. 15
  6. Rnd 5: sc around. 15

Fasten off, leaving opening at back. Slip onto foot and sew closed neatly around the ankle. Add a strap by chaining 6 to 7 and sewing each end to the shoe sides. Embroider tiny pastel flower dots across the toe area.

Hat

Use tan yarn. The hat is a shallow cloche-style straw hat with a slightly downturned brim. It sits low enough to frame the face but still shows the embroidered brows and flowers on the right side.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24
  5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30
  6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
  7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
  8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
  9. Rnds 9 to 13: sc around. 48
  10. Rnd 14: BLO sc around. 48
  11. Rnd 15: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
  12. Rnd 16: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
  13. Rnd 17: sc around. 60
  14. Rnd 18: crab stitch or sl st loosely around for a neat brim edge.

Sew a thin white decorative chain around the hat base. Add three small flowers at the front right side: one white, one pale blue, one sage-centered white bloom.

Mini Flower

  1. With flower color, 5 sc in MR, join.
  2. Petals: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st in same st) in each stitch around.

Crossbody Purse

Use tan yarn and white beads or embroidered white knots. The purse is tiny and rounded with a flap-like upper edge. The strap crosses from the bunny’s right shoulder to left hip.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. 12
  4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. 12
  5. Rnd 5: sc around. 12
  6. Rnd 6: Flatten and sc through both layers across 5 stitches.

📌Thank you for reading the article

For the strap, ch 32 to 36 depending on your yarn and bunny size. Sew one end to the purse top and the other end to the opposite side. Add a line of tiny white French knots or sewn seed beads on the front upper curve.

Berry Basket

Use tan yarn for basket, red for berries, and green for leaves. The basket is squat and shallow with a curved handle. It should sit just below the bunny’s knees.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: BLO sc around. 18
  5. Rnds 5 to 7: sc around. 18
  6. Rnd 8: sl st around.

Handle: ch 14, attach across the top opening. For each berry, make 5 sc in MR in red and pull ring closed tightly. For leaves, ch 3, sl st in second ch, sc in next, then sew at berry tops. Fill basket with 5 to 7 berries.

Books Make 2

Make one dusty pink and one pale sage book. These are tiny rectangular soft props with white page edges.

  1. With cover color, ch 9.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch, sc 8. 8
  3. Rows 2 to 6: ch 1, turn, sc 8. 8

Fasten off. Make two identical rectangles for each book. Join with white yarn around three sides, stuffing lightly or inserting cardboard. Close the fourth side. Embroider a white page line along one long edge. Stack the books slightly offset, as shown.

Fox Head

Use rust orange yarn unless stated otherwise. The fox is seated, with a large head, tiny body, and alert pointed ears. The muzzle is white and rounded.

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

Insert 5 mm eyes between rnds 7 and 8, about 6 stitches apart. Embroider a small black nose. Stuff firmly.

Fox Muzzle

Use white yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc x 6. 12

  2. Rnd 2: inc x 4. 8
  3. Rnd 3: sc around. 8
  4. Rnd 4: (sc, dec) x 2, 2 sc. 6

Pinch flat and sew to head top. Add tiny black tips by embroidering or changing yarn at the last round.

Fox Body

Use green for overalls body base if you want the outfit integrated, or rust for inner body and dress afterward. The image reads best if the body itself is green at the lower half, with a striped shirt and overall bib added.

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

  • Sew arms at the body sides just below the collar.
  • Attach the tail centered on the lower back.
