Crochet Tutorial: Rosy Bunny – Free Crochet Pattern

Rosy Bunny is a sweet amigurumi doll designed to look like a handmade heirloom piece, perfect for anyone searching for a crochet bunny doll, amigurumi nursery decor, or a handmade gift idea. Her floppy ears, wide pink hat, floral dress, and tiny shoulder bag create a polished boutique look that feels soft, classic, and giftable.

This pattern also includes the small fox friend and the tiny tea-time accessories shown in the photo, making it ideal for readers who love a collectible crochet doll, a handmade stuffed bunny, or an amigurumi pattern PDF style project for display, gifting, or craft fair inspiration. Every visible detail has been broken down carefully for a close visual match.

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 crochet terms. The finished set includes:

  • The rosy bunny doll
  • The pink dress with white dots and flower trim
  • The large pink brim hat with layered roses
  • The tiny pink shoes
  • The pearl-style shoulder bag
  • The small fox friend with hat, shirt, and basket
  • The tea mat and two tiny cups with saucers

The bunny is made in a classic amigurumi style with a round head, slim upper body, gently flared lower body under the dress, long floppy ears, and short tapered arms. The dress and accessories do most of the visual work, so neat stitch tension and careful placement matter a lot here.

Materials

  • Light worsted or sport cotton yarn in cream, dusty pink, rose pink, pale pink, sage green, ivory, tan, light brown, orange-rust, white, pale blue, and dark brown
  • 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm crochet hook for the main dolls
  • 1.75 mm to 2.0 mm hook for very small accessories if needed
  • Black safety eyes for the bunny, about 8 mm
  • Black safety eyes for the fox, about 5 mm
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Blush or soft pink embroidery floss for cheeks
  • Thin pink and dark brown embroidery floss for nose and mouth details
  • Small pearl beads or pearl-like embroidery knots for dress dots and bag strap detail

Finished Size

  • Bunny: about 10.5 to 12 inches tall including hat, depending on yarn and tension
  • Fox: about 4 to 4.5 inches tall
  • Tea cups: about 1 inch tall
  • Tea mat: about 3.5 by 4 inches

Gauge and Tension

Tight amigurumi tension is important. The fabric should not show stuffing through the stitches. If your rounds look loose or the head becomes too large compared with the dress and hat, go down a hook size. The bunny in the image has a compact head, slim limbs, and a dress that sits smoothly without bulk.

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
  • tr = treble crochet
  • BLO = back loop only
  • FLO = front loop only
  • st = stitch
  • sts = stitches
  • rep = repeat

Important Notes Before You Begin

  • Work in continuous rounds unless told otherwise.
  • Use a stitch marker at the first stitch of each round.
  • Stuff the head firmly, the limbs lightly, and the body moderately.
  • The bunny’s face is simple and delicate, so keep embroidery very small.
  • The ears are long, narrow, and softly folded downward, not wide or thick.
  • The hat must sit low and wide, framing the face and ears.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
  5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
  6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
  7. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
  8. Round 8: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
  9. Rounds 9-16: sc around. (48)
  10. Place safety eyes between Rounds 11 and 12, about 10 sts apart.
  11. Round 17: (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
  12. Round 18: (5 sc, dec) around. (36)
  13. Round 19: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
  14. Round 20: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
  15. Stuff firmly.
  16. Round 21: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
  17. Round 22: (sc, dec) around. (12)
  18. Round 23: dec around. (6)
  19. Fasten off, close opening.

The head in the photo is nearly round with a very slight lower-face softness, not a long muzzle. Do not overstuff the front. The cheeks should stay gently rounded so the embroidered nose can sit flat in the center.

Bunny Ears Make 2

With cream yarn:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: (sc, inc) around. (9)
  3. Round 3: sc around. (9)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (12)
  5. Rounds 5-7: sc around. (12)
  6. Round 8: (3 sc, inc) around. (15)
  7. Rounds 9-24: sc around. (15)
  8. Round 25: (3 sc, dec) around. (12)
  9. Rounds 26-28: sc around. (12)
  10. Flatten the opening and sc through both sides for 5 sts, leaving the rest open for sewing.
  11. Fasten off with a long tail.

Do not stuff the ears. Lightly flatten them with your fingers. They should drape downward from the sides of the head. Before sewing, pinch the top of each ear slightly so the attachment angle makes them fall naturally beside the face.

Bunny Arms Make 2

With cream yarn:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: (sc, inc) around. (9)
  3. Rounds 3-5: sc around. (9)
  4. Round 6: (sc, dec) 3 times. (6)
  5. Rounds 7-18: sc around. (6)
  6. Stuff only the bottom 5 rounds lightly.
  7. Flatten top and sc through both sides for 3 sts.
  8. Fasten off with a long tail.

The arms are short, slim, and slightly tapered. Sew them so they angle gently downward and outward from the upper body, matching the relaxed pose in the image.

Bunny Legs Make 2

Start with pink yarn for the shoes.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
  4. Round 4: sc around in BLO. (18)

  7. Change to cream.
  8. Round 7: sc around. (11)
  9. Rounds 8-20: sc around. (11)
  10. Stuff foot firmly and leg lightly.
  11. Fasten off first leg.
  12. Make second leg but do not fasten off.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Bunny Body

Continue from second leg.

  1. Ch 3 and join to first leg.
  2. Round 1: 11 sc around first leg, 3 sc across chain, 11 sc around second leg, 3 sc across other side of chain. (28)
  3. Round 2: sc around. (28)
  4. Round 3: (6 sc, inc) around. (32)
  5. Round 4: sc around. (32)
  6. Round 5: (7 sc, inc) around. (36)
  7. Rounds 6-8: sc around. (36)
  8. Round 9: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
  9. Round 10: sc around. (30)
  10. Round 11: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
  11. Round 12: sc around. (24)
  12. Round 13: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
  13. Round 14: sc around. (18)
  14. Stuff body moderately.
  15. Round 15: sc around. (18)
  16. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

The body is intentionally smaller than the dress shape, because the photo shows a fitted doll base under a decorative outfit. Keep the torso neat and narrow so the dress can flare properly without looking bulky.

Joining Head, Body, Arms, and Ears

  1. Sew the head to the body securely, centering it above the narrow torso.
  2. Sew the arms at each side of the body, about one round below the neck seam.
  3. Sew the ears to the head between Rounds 7 and 8 from the crown line, one on each side.
  4. Angle the ears so they hang almost straight down, slightly forward.

Before fully tightening your stitches, put the hat on the head and check ear placement. In the image, the hat brim covers the ear roots slightly, so the ears should begin high enough to disappear under the hat edge.

Bunny Facial Embroidery

  • Embroider a tiny dusty-pink triangular nose centered between the eyes, about 2 rounds below eye level.
  • Add a short vertical line down from the nose in soft brown or pink-brown.
  • Add a very small mouth split, one stitch to each side.
  • Embroider thin curved brows above the eyes with dark brown or black floss.
  • Add soft blush under each eye.

The face in the photo is minimal and sweet. Keep all embroidery tiny. Oversized facial features will change the whole look and make the doll less accurate to the image.

Pink Shoes Finishing Detail

The shoes are part of the legs already, but the image shows a Mary Jane style strap. Add this after the legs are attached.

  1. With pink yarn, join at one side of the shoe opening.
  2. Ch 4, skip across the front opening, sl st on the other side.
  3. Fasten off.
  4. Repeat for second shoe.

If you want a slightly more defined strap, embroider one tiny vertical stitch at the side to mimic the look of a button or fastening point.

Rosy Dress Bodice

With dusty pink yarn, work from the top down as a separate piece that slips over the body.

  1. Round 1: Ch 24, join carefully without twisting.
  2. Round 2: sc around. (24)
  3. Round 3: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
  4. Round 4: sc around. (30)
  5. Round 5: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
  6. Round 6: sc around. (36)
  7. Round 7: In FLO, hdc around. (36)
  8. Round 8: sc around. (36)

This top section should sit like a simple rounded yoke across the bunny’s shoulders and upper chest. The neckline in the image is wide and softly frilled, so we build that detail next.

Rosy Collar Ruffle

Working into the unused back loops from Round 7:

  1. Join yarn at the back.
  2. Round 1: (sl st, ch 1, 2 hdc in next st) around, adjusting so the ruffle lies gently and does not flare too hard.
  3. Fasten off.

The collar should form a rounded petal-like neckline, sitting over the shoulders and upper chest. It does not stand up stiffly. Light blocking by hand can help shape it into the same soft curve shown in the image.

Rosy Dress Skirt

Join dusty pink yarn to the lower edge of the bodice.

  1. Round 1: In each stitch around, work 2 dc. (72)
  2. Round 2: dc around. (72)
  3. Round 3: (11 dc, inc in dc) around. (78)
  4. Round 4: dc around. (78)
  5. Round 5: (12 dc, inc in dc) around. (84)
  6. Round 6: dc around. (84)
  7. Round 7: (13 dc, inc in dc) around. (90)
  8. Round 8: dc around. (90)
  9. Round 9: (14 dc, inc in dc) around. (96)
  10. Round 10: dc around. (96)
  11. Round 11: crab stitch edge or sl st loosely around for a clean hem.
  12. Fasten off.

The skirt should be full but not stiff. The hem in the photo falls in a round bell shape, not a flat tutu shape. If your cotton is very firm, steam lightly from a distance or gently shape it over your hand.

White Polka Dot Dress Detail

The dress has evenly scattered white dot accents. There are two easy ways to do this.

  • Embroider small French knots with white thread
  • Sew on tiny white seed beads or pearl-like beads

For the closest look to the image, place the dots in staggered rows over the bodice and skirt front. Keep them sparse rather than dense. About 18 to 24 dots on the front of the dress usually gives the right visual balance.

Skirt Flower Appliqués

The lower skirt has clustered roses in deep pink, pale pink, and ivory, plus small green leaves. Make the following tiny flowers.

Rolled Rose Small Make 6 to 8

Use deep rose pink, pale pink, and ivory in mixed amounts.

  1. Ch 16.
  2. Starting in 2nd ch from hook: 2 sc, 2 hdc, 8 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc.
  3. Fasten off with a tail.
  4. Roll from the sc end toward the last stitch to form a rose.
  5. Sew base securely to hold shape.

Mini Leaves Make 8 to 10

With sage green:

  1. Ch 4.
  2. In 2nd ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc.
  3. Work on opposite side of chain: sc, sl st.
  4. Fasten off.

Sew the flower clusters around the lower front of the skirt. In the image, the deepest rose pink flowers are the most noticeable, while pale pink and ivory flowers fill the arrangement. Tuck one or two green leaves beside each cluster.

Pearl Shoulder Bag

With pink yarn:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
  4. Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)
  5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (18)
  6. Round 9: 6 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 4 sc. (16)
  7. Round 10: sc around. (16)
  8. Flatten slightly and sl st across 6 sts to shape the flap line.
  9. Fasten off.

Bag Flap

Join yarn to the back top edge.

  1. Row 1: 8 sc. Ch 1, turn.
  2. Row 2: dec, 4 sc, dec. (6)
  3. Row 3: sc across. (6)
  4. Row 4: dec, 2 sc, dec. (4)
  5. Row 5: sc across. (4)
  6. Fasten off.

Bag Strap

  1. With ivory or pink thread, ch a length long enough to cross from one shoulder to the opposite hip.
  2. Work sl st back along the chain for strength.
  3. Sew small pearl beads along the strap if desired.
  4. Attach strap diagonally to the bag and dress.

The bag in the image rests at the bunny’s right hip and the pearl strap crosses from the left shoulder downward. Sew it in place after dressing the bunny so the angle stays correct.

Large Pink Hat

The hat is a key feature of the design. It is broad, soft, and slightly floppy, with a rounded crown and a wide downward brim.

With pink yarn:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) around. (18)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
  5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
  6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
  7. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
  8. Round 8: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
  9. Round 9: (7 sc, inc) around. (54)
  10. Rounds 10-15: sc around. (54)
  11. Round 16: BLO sc around. (54)
  12. Round 17: (8 sc, inc) around. (60)
  13. Round 18: sc around. (60)
  14. Round 19: (9 sc, inc) around. (66)
  15. Round 20: sc around. (66)
  16. Round 21: (10 sc, inc) around. (72)
  17. Round 22: sc around. (72)
  18. Round 23: (11 sc, inc) around. (78)
  19. Round 24: sc around. (78)
  20. Round 25: sl st loosely around.
  21. Fasten off.

If you want a slightly firmer brim, work Round 24 in hdc instead of sc, but only if your yarn is very soft. The hat in the image keeps its shape while still looking gentle and wearable on the doll.

Hat Flowers and Leaves

Make 3 large roses and 1 or 2 leaves.

Large Rose Make 3

  1. Ch 26.
  2. Starting in 2nd ch from hook: 2 sc, 4 hdc, 12 dc, 4 hdc, 3 sc.
  3. Fasten off with tail.
  4. Roll into a large layered flower and stitch the base tightly.

Hat Leaf Make 2

  1. Ch 6.
  2. Starting in 2nd ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc.
  3. Work opposite side of chain: hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.
  4. Fasten off.

Sew the flowers at one side of the hat front. Use two rose shades and one pale flower for the closest match. Add one green leaf peeking behind the deepest pink flower. Position the flower group slightly above the brim line, not on the crown center.

Dressing the Bunny

  1. Slip the dress onto the bunny from the feet upward if the neckline stretches enough, or sew the dress closed at the back after fitting.
  2. Arrange the collar so it sits evenly around the neck.
  3. Put on the hat and pull it low enough to frame the eyes.
  4. Position the shoulder bag diagonally across the front.

The overall silhouette should show a large hat, soft face, narrow arms, flared dress, and tiny feet peeking out. That balance is what makes the image look elegant and charming.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)

How to Match the Photo More Closely

  • Use a soft muted pink, not a bright bubblegum pink.
  • Keep the bunny’s body slim under the dress.
  • Make the hat brim broad and slightly drooping.
  • Keep the ears long and hanging straight down.
  • Scatter white dots lightly, not densely.
  • Place the deeper pink flowers lower on the skirt front.
  • Angle the bag from left shoulder to right side.
  • Keep the face extremely minimal and sweet.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Dress the bunny first, then secure the bag, then place the hat. Adjust the ears so they fall naturally under the brim. Embroider the nose, mouth, brows, and blush only after the hat is on, so you can confirm the face remains centered and balanced when viewed from the front.

Care Notes

Store the dolls away from direct sunlight to protect the pink tones. Handle the hat flowers and pearl strap gently. If using beads, keep the item for display or supervised use only. Light reshaping by hand will help the skirt and hat keep their soft silhouette.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head centered on body
  • Ears sewn high and hanging evenly
  • Dress collar lying flat
  • Skirt flared smoothly
  • Flowers sewn securely
  • Hat brim even on both sides
  • Bag placed diagonally
  • Face embroidery tiny and centered
  • Fox and tea accessories scaled neatly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean only with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not scrub embroidered details. Lay flat to dry on a towel and reshape the hat brim, skirt, and ears while damp. Avoid machine washing, high heat, and long soaking, especially if the project includes beads, blush, or delicate stitched flowers.
