This elegant lavender bunny is designed as a collectible-style amigurumi doll with a wide-brim hat, a floral dress, tiny shoes, and sweet countryside accessories. It has the look of a handmade heirloom plush, spring nursery decor piece, artisan stuffed bunny, and giftable crochet doll for Easter baskets or cottagecore room styling.
The finished set is perfect for makers who love detailed amigurumi patterns with realistic shaping and boutique toy proportions. If you enjoy crochet rabbit dolls, handmade stuffed animal patterns, floral crochet outfits, and premium amigurumi gift ideas that look ready for a craft fair or online handmade shop, this project is a beautiful one to make.
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 recreates the full scene shown in the image: the lavender bunny doll, dress, hat, crossbody bag, shoes, flower necklace detail, embroidered book, small squirrel, and berry basket.
The shaping is soft and rounded, with a large head, compact body, short arms, sturdy seated-length legs, and long floppy ears. The outfit is made to stay neat and balanced on the doll, matching the visual proportions in the photo as closely as possible.
Skill level: Advanced beginner to intermediate.
Language: US English terms.
Construction style: Mostly worked in continuous rounds unless noted.
Materials
- Main yarn weight: Sport or light DK cotton yarn for the doll and accessories.
- Suggested colors: light beige, lavender, soft purple, white, sage green, rose purple, brown, cream, rust, berry red, berry blue, berry purple.

Abbreviations

- sc = single crochet
- inc = 2 sc in same stitch
- dec = invisible decrease

Finished Size
The bunny doll is approximately 11 to 12 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including the hat brim. With the hat on, the full height is approximately 13 inches. The squirrel is about 3 inches tall, the book about 1.5 inches wide, and the berry basket about 2 inches wide.
Gauge and Tension Notes
Use a tight amigurumi tension so stuffing does not show through. The stitches in the image appear dense, even, and fairly small, so keep your yarn and hook combination firm.
If your fabric feels soft or open, reduce the hook size. The doll needs stable structure in the neck, body, and skirt so the finished figure keeps the same refined silhouette shown in the image.
Color Placement Notes
- Head, ears, arms, legs: light beige.
- Dress and hat: lavender and medium purple.
- Collar, cuffs, underskirt trim: white.
- Flowers and leaves: lavender, rose, sage green.

Muzzle and Nose Shaping

Then stitch a short vertical line down 2 stitches and make a tiny split mouth. Lightly pull the muzzle area inward with soft sculpting if needed so the face appears gently rounded, just like the image.

Fasten off with a long tail for sewing the head. The body in the image is small compared to the head, with a narrow upper torso and softly rounded lower section, so do not over-lengthen it.
The Legs Make 2
With light beige yarn.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6)
- Rnd 2: inc around. (12)

- Rnd 12-16: sc around. (14 each round)

- Rnd 17: flatten top and sc through both sides for 6 stitches.
Make the second leg the same. Sew both legs to the lower front of the body, angled slightly outward. The legs in the image are short and sturdy, allowing the dress to sit over them without looking too long.
The Arms Make 2
With light beige yarn.

- Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3-4: sc around. (12 each round)

Sew arms high on the sides of the upper body. Angle them slightly downward so the hands rest near the skirt line, matching the calm pose in the image.
Tail
With light beige yarn.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6)
- Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: sc around. (12)
- Rnd 4: (sc, dec) x 4. (8)
Stuff lightly and sew to the lower back of the body, centered under the dress.
Neck Support and Head Attachment
If your doll feels heavy-headed, insert a short rolled piece of plastic canvas or a wooden stick support inside the neck area before attaching the head.
Sew the head firmly to the body with several passes. The chin should sit close to the body without a long neck showing. This is important because the dress collar in the image frames the face closely.
The Dress Bodice
With medium lavender yarn and 2.5 mm hook. Work from top down.
- Ch 24. Join carefully to form a ring.
- Rnd 1: ch 1, sc in each ch around. (24)

- Rnd 5: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
- Rnd 6: sc around. (36)
- Rnd 7: FLO sc around. (36)
This forms the fitted upper bodice. Try it around the bunny body before continuing. It should fit snugly but not stretch hard.
