This sweet bunny doll is designed with a soft cottage garden look, making it a lovely handmade gift, nursery decor piece, or collectible amigurumi toy. If you enjoy searching for crochet doll patterns, handmade bunny dolls, or amigurumi gift ideas to buy, this design captures that same charming storybook style.
The set also includes the flower-print blouse, wrap skirt, little crossbody bag, sun hat, Mary Jane shoes, picnic basket, teacup and saucer, plus the tiny reading fox. For makers who love boutique crochet toys, heirloom amigurumi, and handmade nursery gifts to shop for inspiration, this project brings that look into your own stitching.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Pattern Overview
This pattern is written in US English and follows a detailed step-by-step amigurumi structure. The finished set includes one seated long-eared bunny doll, one floppy brim hat, one floral blouse, one wrap skirt, one shoulder bag, two shoes, one picnic basket with lid and fabric trim effect, one teacup with saucer, and one tiny fox holding a book.
The bunny in the photo has a large rounded head, a small tapered torso hidden by clothing, long slim legs, short soft arms, long downward ears, and simple embroidered facial details. The styling is gentle and minimal. Proportions matter a lot here, so keep your stitches tight and consistent from beginning to end.

Materials
Use the same yarn weight for all main parts if you want the proportions to stay close to the sample. A cotton or cotton-blend DK yarn works best for clean stitch definition. For the clothing, lightweight cotton gives the neatest finish and helps the skirt and blouse hold their shape.

Abbreviations
- 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
- BLO = back loop only
- FLO = front loop only
- rnd = round
- st = stitch

Gauge and Tension Notes
Exact gauge is less important than firm tension. Your stuffing should not show through the stitches. If your fabric feels loose, go down a hook size. The doll in the photo has a smooth, dense texture with visible but compact rounds, especially on the head, skirt, and hat.
For best accuracy, keep the head round and full, the body slim, the legs narrow and straight, and the ears soft without heavy stuffing. The hat needs a neat shallow dome and a brim that curves downward gently. The fox should be compact and slightly smaller in stitch scale than the bunny.

Bunny Doll Body
Legs Make 2
The legs are long, slim, and lightly stuffed. They are straight through most of the length, with only a gentle widening near the upper leg. The feet remain hidden inside the shoes, so keep the ankle narrow and the lower leg elegant rather than chunky.

Fasten off first leg. Make the second leg the same, but do not fasten off. Stuff the lower two-thirds of each leg firmly and the top third only lightly. This helps the doll sit naturally with the legs hanging down from the table edge the way they do in the photo.
Body
The torso is much smaller than the head and mostly hidden under the blouse and skirt. It should look narrow and gently pear-shaped. Avoid overstuffing. The doll in the photo has a soft, compact middle with no visible shoulders outside the blouse.

Stuff the body lightly, shaping the belly to remain flat from the front view. The skirt will add volume, so do not make the torso thick. The neck needs to be stable. Add a little extra stuffing at the top or insert a short neck support if needed.
Head
The head is the most prominent feature. It is large, rounded, and softly flattened at the lower face. The cheeks are subtle, not strongly sculpted. The face placement is low and centered, giving the doll a gentle childlike expression. Keep increases and decreases very even.

Insert the 8 mm safety eyes between rounds 16 and 17 with about 10 visible stitches between them. Adjust slightly if needed so the eyes sit low and wide. Stuff the head firmly as you work, especially the top and side areas, while keeping the lower face softly rounded.
- Rnd 31: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)
- Rnd 32: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
- Rnd 33: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
Fasten off with a long tail. Sew the head securely to the neck, tilting the face very slightly forward. In the photo, the head does not sit straight upright. It leans just enough to feel gentle and lifelike without becoming floppy.
Arms Make 2
The arms are short and slim, falling to about the waist area under the blouse sleeves. They are lightly stuffed only at the hands and lower arm. Flatten the upper arm when sewing so it sits close to the body and angles slightly downward.

- Rnd 14: sc around. (9)
Flatten and close with 4 sc through both layers. Leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the arms to the sides of the body just below the neck line, angled slightly down. Once the blouse is on, the arm join should be mostly hidden by the ruffled sleeve area.

Ears Make 2
The ears are long, soft, and unstuffed. They narrow slightly near the top and widen through the center, then taper at the end. In the photo, both ears fall naturally along the sides of the face and extend below the jawline toward the blouse neckline.

- Rnd 22: sc around. (12)
- Rnd 23: sc around. (12)
Flatten the open edge. Sew each ear to the head between rounds 9 and 13, slightly behind the side curve of the face. Let the ears hang naturally. Do not sew them sticking outward. Their softness is important to matching the look of the image.
Bunny Clothing and Accessories
Blouse
The blouse in the image looks like a green floral woven fabric with a ruffled neckline and softly puffed sleeves. To match the photo as closely as possible in crochet form, make a fitted green blouse with a ruffled collar and short puff sleeves. Add tiny embroidered white flowers afterward.
If you prefer mixed media, you may sew the blouse from lightweight floral cotton fabric using the same shape notes below. For a fully crocheted version, follow the instructions here and then embroider the floral print effect over the finished blouse.
Yoke
- Ch 28, join carefully to form a ring.
- Rnd 1: sc around. (28)
- Rnd 2: (6 sc, inc) x 4. (32)
- Rnd 3: sc around. (32)
- Rnd 4: (7 sc, inc) x 4. (36)
- Rnd 5: sc around. (36)
Separate for sleeves by folding the piece so 8 stitches sit at each side for sleeves, with front and back sections centered. Join yarn at center back. Work 10 sc across back, skip 8 for sleeve, 10 sc front, skip 8 for sleeve. (20)
Body of Blouse
- Rnd 6: sc around body opening. (20)

Collar Ruffle
Join yarn around neckline.
- Rnd 1: In each stitch work 2 hdc around. This creates the soft gathered collar effect.
Weave in ends. Embroider tiny five-petal white flowers randomly across the blouse using white embroidery thread. Add a tiny dot of pale yellow or cream in each flower center if desired. Keep the floral detailing delicate and scattered, not dense.
Wrap Skirt
The skirt is one of the most recognizable parts of the outfit. It is a wrap style in warm taupe with a diagonal overlap in front and two visible buttons. The silhouette is gently flared but not overly full. It should cover the upper legs and reach to just above the ankles when seated.
- Ch 36.
- Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc across. (35)
- Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across. (35)
- Row 3: ch 1, turn, inc, sc to last 2 sts, inc in last st. (37)
- Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc across. (37)

- Row 10: ch 1, turn, sc across. (43)
- Row 11: ch 1, turn, inc, sc to last 2 sts, inc in last st. (45)
- Row 12: ch 1, turn, sc across. (45)
- Row 13: ch 1, turn, sc across. (45)
- Row 14: ch 1, turn, sc across. (45)
Now shape the slanted wrap front. On one short side, count down 8 rows. Join yarn there and work a diagonal edging up to the top corner using slip stitches or a neat row of sc. Repeat more gently on the opposite side if needed so one front panel overlaps the other.
Add a waistband by working one row of sc evenly across the top edge. Leave long tails on both ends to wrap and secure at the waist, or sew in place. Sew two tiny brown buttons vertically on the visible overlap just off center to match the front detail in the photo.
Crossbody Bag
The small sage bag has a rounded rectangular shape, a long strap, and a tiny flower applique. It rests at the bunny’s hip. Keep it slim rather than bulky. The flap is simple and soft. The strap should cross from the shoulder across the front body naturally.
- Rnd 1: Ch 7. Starting in second ch from hook, 5 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side 4 sc, 2 sc in last ch. (14)
- Rnd 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
- Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. (20)
- Rnd 4: sc around. (20)
- Rnd 5: sc around. (20)
Fasten off for bag base. Make a second flat panel for the flap:
- Ch 7.
- Row 1: 6 sc starting in second ch from hook. (6)
- Row 2-8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (6)
- Row 9: ch 1, turn, dec, 2 sc, dec. (4)
- Row 10: ch 1, turn, dec, dec. (2)
Sew flap to back upper edge of bag. For the strap, chain 42 to 48 depending on your doll size. Slip stitch back across the chain for stability. Sew each end to the bag sides. Add a tiny flower applique made from 5 chain petals or a small embroidered flower.
Sun Hat
The hat has a shallow rounded crown and a wide downward brim. It sits low over the top of the head without covering the eyes. The brim curves gently and frames the bunny face, which is a key part of the character styling in the image.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6. (18)
- Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
- Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
- Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
- Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
- Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
- Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
- Rnd 10: sc around. (54)
- Rnd 11: sc around. (54)
- Rnd 12: sc around. (54)

- Rnd 18: (10 sc, inc) x 6. (72)
- Rnd 19: sc around. (72)
- Rnd 20: sl st loosely around.
Lightly steam or shape the brim downward by hand. If your brim flares too much, weave a thin line of thread around the outer edge and gently tighten, or use a slightly smaller hook for the last two rounds.
Mary Jane Shoes Make 2
The shoes are soft sage and rounded at the toe. They cover the front of the foot with a small opening on top and a strap across. They should look neat and miniature, with a gentle vintage doll style rather than a sporty shoe shape.
- Rnd 1: Ch 6. Starting in second ch from hook, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 3 sc opposite side, 2 sc in last ch. (12)
- Rnd 2: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc. (18)
- Rnd 3: BLO sc around. (18)
- Rnd 4: 5 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 7 sc. (16)
- Rnd 5: 4 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 6 sc. (14)
📌Thank you for reading the article
To create the shoe opening, flatten slightly and work only across the front top edge:
- Row 6: Join yarn at side, sc 6 across front. (6)
- Row 7: ch 1, turn, dec, 2 sc, dec. (4)
Fasten off. For the strap, join yarn at one side opening, ch 6, skip across, sl st to other side. Optionally add one tiny stitched knot or bead as a buckle detail. Slip onto the feet and secure with a stitch if desired.
Picnic Basket
The basket is a small tan cylinder with a lid and an upright loop handle. A checkered fabric effect is shown under the lid in the image. You can recreate that with embroidery, sewing a tiny fabric circle, or stitching alternating cream and brown lines.
Basket Base
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)

- Rnd 4: sc around. (12)
- Rnd 5: sc around. (12)
Fasten off. Add a tiny handle by chaining 4 and sewing it to the side. Place the cup on the saucer. The set should remain tiny and delicate next to the bunny, just as it appears beside the picnic basket in the image.
Tiny Reading Fox
The fox is a separate miniature amigurumi. It has a large head for its body size, pointed ears, a white muzzle, small black nose, blue shirt, yellow hat, dark paws, and a little open book. Keep the fox compact and slightly firm so it can sit upright beside the bunny.

If you want a cleaner shirt edge, surface crochet a row around the body where the blue begins. This gives a neat separation between the lower body and top, matching the simple shirt shape in the photo.
Fox Hat
The fox wears a tiny yellow straw-style hat tipped slightly to one side. Make it shallow and playful.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)

Fold lightly like an open book and stitch a center spine line. Sew into fox paws.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Sew the ears first, then arms, then dress the bunny in the blouse and skirt. Add the shoes, bag, and hat last. Embroider the bunny nose as a tiny upside-down triangle or Y-shape centered low between the eyes. Add a short vertical mouth line and two slight curved mouth stitches.
Embroider thin curved brows above the eyes using dark thread. Add faint blush with pastel or thread if desired. Place the bag strap diagonally across the body. The hat should sit low but not hide the brows. Arrange the fox, basket, and teacup close to the bunny for the full display look.

For long-term care, dust the finished pieces gently with a soft dry brush. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a lightly damp cloth on the crocheted surface only and avoid rubbing embroidered details. Store the set flat or upright in a clean dry space.
To preserve shape, support the hat brim and avoid crushing the ears, skirt, or fox tail. If the doll becomes misshapen, lightly mist the surface, adjust by hand, and let it dry naturally. Always keep dark accessories away from damp light yarn to prevent color transfer.
