General Notes

This pattern is written as a close visual reconstruction of the knitted scene in the image. The shaping focuses on the same soft proportions: a round head, slim neck, pear-shaped body, narrow hanging arms, long floppy ears, oversized flowered dress, rolled-brim hat, miniature shoulder bag, and matching decorative companions.

Work all toy pieces with a firm tension so stuffing does not show through. Use the long-tail cast-on unless another method is specified. For the cleanest finish, sew all major seams with mattress stitch or invisible grafting where appropriate.

The bunny body is worked from the feet upward in separate legs, joined into one body, then shaped for torso, neck, and head. The arms and ears are knitted separately and sewn on after stuffing. The dress, hat, bag, and props are separate pieces.

Stuff the foot portion lightly and the lower leg moderately. Break yarn on first leg, leaving stitches live. After finishing the second leg, do not break yarn.

Join Legs and Work Body

1. Using the working yarn from Leg 2, k across the 12 sts of Leg 2.
2. CO 4 sts using backward loop cast-on.
3. K across the 12 live sts of Leg 1.
4. CO 4 sts. Place marker for beginning of rnd at center back. 32 sts total.

Begin stuffing the body firmly at the lower section, keeping the hips rounded and stable. Push extra stuffing into the feet so the bunny can stand when supported by the dress hem.

Upper Torso and Neck

1. Rnd 27: k5, k2tog, k7, ssk, k5, k2tog, k7, ssk. 24 sts.
2. Rnd 28-30: Knit 3 rnds.
3. Rnd 31: k4, k2tog, k6, ssk, k4, k2tog, k6, ssk. 20 sts.
4. Rnd 32-34: Knit 3 rnds.
5. Rnd 35: k3, k2tog, k5, ssk, k3, k2tog, k5, ssk. 16 sts.
6. Rnd 36-38: Knit 3 rnds.

At this stage the torso should look narrow compared with the dress. Stuff firmly but do not overfill the neck area. The visible bunny in the image has a slim neck transitioning into a large rounded head.

Head

1. Rnd 39: KFB in each st around. 32 sts.
2. Rnd 40: Knit.
3. Rnd 41: k1, KFB, rep to end. 48 sts.
4. Rnd 42: Knit.
5. Rnd 43: k2, KFB, rep to end. 64 sts.
6. Rnd 44-58: Knit 15 rnds.

Place the safety eyes between Rnds 52 and 53, spacing them 10 sts apart on the front center line. If embroidering eyes later, mark the placement now with scrap yarn. Add stuffing firmly as you work, concentrating fullness in the cheeks and forehead.

Shape the Nose Area

The image shows a softly defined muzzle rather than a protruding snout. Use a sculpted embroidered muzzle after stuffing, but the following subtle shaping helps create the same effect.

1. Rnd 59: k14, k2tog, k16, ssk, k14, k2tog, k16, ssk. 60 sts.
2. Rnd 60: Knit.
3. Rnd 61: k13, k2tog, k15, ssk, k13, k2tog, k15, ssk. 56 sts.
4. Rnd 62: Knit.
5. Rnd 63: k12, k2tog, k14, ssk, k12, k2tog, k14, ssk. 52 sts.
6. Rnd 64: Knit.
7. Rnd 65: k11, k2tog, k13, ssk, k11, k2tog, k13, ssk. 48 sts.

8. Rnd 74: Knit.
9. Rnd 75: k2, k2tog, k4, ssk, rep once more. 28 sts.

2. Rnd 1: Knit.
3. Rnd 2: KFB in each st around. 16 sts.

8. Rnd 12-24: Knit 13 rnds.
9. Rnd 25: k2tog around. 6 sts.

Stuff only the hand and lower forearm lightly. Flatten the open edge and sew closed across 3 stitches. This flat edge makes a soft shoulder seam that matches the downward angle seen in the image.

Ears

Make 2 in main bunny color. Work flat so the ears remain soft and floppy.

1. CO 10 sts.
2. Row 1 (RS): Knit.
3. Row 2: Purl.
4. Row 3: k1, M1L, k8, M1R, k1. 12 sts.

16. Row 28: Purl.

20. Row 32: Purl.
21. Row 33: k2tog twice. 2 sts.
22. Row 34: P2tog. 1 st.

Fasten off. Make a second identical ear. Steam very lightly if needed. Fold the lower ear edge by 1/4 inch before sewing so each ear falls softly from under the hat.

Dress

The dress is an ivory, gently flared, sleeveless dress decorated with trailing three-dimensional white blossoms and delicate floral embroidery. It fits over the bunny body and sits slightly above the feet, creating the same bell shape seen in the image.

Dress Skirt and Bodice

Work from lower hem upward in the round with ivory yarn.

1. CO 88 sts loosely. Join for working in the round.
2. Rnd 1: Purl.
3. Rnd 2: Knit.
4. Rnd 3: Purl.
5. Rnd 4-14: Knit 11 rnds.

11. Rnd 28-32: Knit 5 rnds.
12. Rnd 33: k6, k2tog, rep around. 56 sts.
13. Rnd 34-37: Knit 4 rnds.
14. Rnd 38: k5, k2tog, rep around. 48 sts.
15. Rnd 39-42: Knit 4 rnds.
16. Rnd 43: k4, k2tog, rep around. 40 sts.
17. Rnd 44-47: Knit 4 rnds.

At this point, the dress should fit over the widest part of the bunny body with a comfortable amount of positive ease. Check fit before continuing. The front must remain smooth because the floral embroidery will sit there.

Dress Finishing

Sew shoulder straps together. Try the dress on the bunny. The lower hem should spread outward in a rounded arc and rest just above the feet. If needed, tack the dress lightly at each underarm and center back with tiny hidden stitches.

Three-Dimensional White Blossoms for Dress

The visible dress has sculptural white blossoms climbing from the lower left skirt upward, plus a few blossoms across the front and near the shoulder line. Make a generous number of flowers in three sizes and arrange them before sewing permanently.

Small 5-Petal Blossom

Make about 18.

1. CO 15 sts.
2. Row 1 (WS): Purl.
3. Row 2: *k3, turn, p3, turn, k3, slip next 3 sts back to left needle; rep from * 4 more times.
4. Cut yarn, thread through all sts, pull into a circle, and stitch first petal to last petal.

Medium Layered Blossom

Make about 10.

1. CO 20 sts.
2. Row 1: *k1, yo, k2tog; rep to end. 20 sts.
3. Row 2: Purl.
4. Row 3: Knit.
5. Cut yarn and thread through all sts. Gather tightly into a ring.
6. Make a second identical ring and stack the two layers offset from each other. Sew together at center.

Tiny Bud

Make about 16.

1. CO 6 sts.
2. Row 1: k1, KFB, k2, KFB, k1. 8 sts.
3. Row 2: Purl.
4. Row 3: k2tog, k4, k2tog. 6 sts.
5. Cut yarn, thread through sts, pull into a tiny bud cup.

Flower Placement

Pin the blossoms in an asymmetrical trailing layout. The largest cluster should begin at the bunny’s lower left side, cross toward center front, and continue upward to the left shoulder. Add a few blossoms on the right front for balance, but keep the left side fuller.

Use medium layered blossoms near the hem and lower skirt where the image shows larger white blooms. Use small blossoms and buds climbing upward so the arrangement looks light and natural. Sew each flower at the center only so the petals remain dimensional.

Floral Embroidery on Dress

The dress front has delicate pink, green, and tiny accent flowers. Embroider after the dress is sewn and fitted so the motifs stay centered. Use duplicate stitch, straight stitch, lazy daisy, and tiny French knot style wraps if you enjoy them, but keep the result soft and minimal.

• Center chest spray: 3 thin green stems rising upward, 2 pink blossoms, 1 cream flower, 4 sage leaves
• Scattered front flowers: tiny pink, yellow, and pale blue dots with little leaf pairs
• Lower trailing stems: olive green stems beneath blossom clusters, lightly curving downward

📌Thank you for reading the article

Keep each embroidered section small. The image shows delicate detail, not dense coverage. Leave areas of plain ivory visible between clusters so the raised knitted flowers stand out clearly.

Hat

The hat is a soft cloche shape with a rolled brim and a band area decorated by embroidered flowers on one side. It should sit low on the forehead and cover the ear bases.

Hat Crown and Brim

1. Using ivory yarn, CO 8 sts and join.
2. Rnd 1: KFB in each st. 16 sts.
3. Rnd 2: Knit.
4. Rnd 3: k1, KFB, rep around. 24 sts.

20. Rnd 30: Purl.
21. Rnd 31-33: Knit 3 rnds.
22. BO loosely.

The purl ridge on Rnd 30 encourages the soft brim roll. Steam lightly over your hand and shape while warm. Do not flatten the crown too much. The hat in the image is softly rounded and not sharply structured.

Hat Flower Embroidery

Embroider a flower cluster on one side of the hat, slightly above the brim line.

• One blush pink flower with 5 petals
• One pale yellow flower
• One pale blue flower
• Olive and sage leaves around the cluster

Use lazy-daisy petals or small satin-stitched petals. Add a tiny cream center to each flower. Keep the cluster compact so it resembles the charming side detail in the image.

Shoulder Bag

The bag is a tiny cream crossbody pouch with embroidered flowers. It hangs from the bunny’s right shoulder toward the left hip area, crossing the front diagonally.

Bag Body

1. CO 14 sts with ivory yarn.
2. Rows 1-16: Work in st st, slipping first stitch of every row for neat edges.

Fold the rectangle so the lower portion forms a pouch about 1 1/4 inches tall. Sew side seams. Leave top open.

Bag Flap

2. Work 26 rows of i-cord.
3. BO and sew each end to the upper side corners of the bag.

Birdhouse Assembly

Sew front, back, and side panels together. Stuff lightly to keep the shape soft but standing. Sew roof panels together along top edge, then attach to house with a slight overhang on both sides.

For the entry hole, embroider a dark brown ring or applique a tiny knitted circle.

Birdhouse Flowers

Make 3 to 5 blue blossoms using the small blossom method above. Sew them near the lower left front of the house. Add green stitched stems and leaves around the base, and a small green tuft at the top roof corner if desired.

Final Assembly of Bunny Set

Before sewing anything permanently, place all pieces together exactly as shown in the image. The bunny should remain the tallest central figure, with the birdhouse to the left, the hedgehog and watering can to the right front, and the berry basket behind the hedgehog.

Assemble the Bunny

1. Sew the ears to the upper sides of the head, starting about 5 to 6 rounds behind the eye line.
2. Angle the ears downward so they fall softly along the cheeks and shoulders.
3. Sew the arms to the upper torso just below the neck shaping.
4. Angle the arms slightly forward and downward.
5. Dress the bunny and tack the shoulder straps and underarms invisibly if needed.
6. Place the hat low on the head and tack at the sides, allowing a soft tilt toward the flowered side.
7. Add the crossbody bag, placing the pouch at the bunny’s front right-to-left diagonal as in the image.

Facial Embroidery

The face is simple and sweet, with tiny black eyes, a narrow stitched nose, and a soft split mouth.

• Use black embroidery thread to create two tiny oval eyes if you did not use safety eyes.
• Embroider the nose with 6 to 8 horizontal satin stitches in a small triangle shape.
• From the center bottom of the nose, stitch a short vertical line downward.
• Add a tiny split mouth with one short slant stitch to each side.

To create the sculpted muzzle seen in the image, insert a long needle at the back of the head, come out near one side of the nose, re-enter at the opposite side, and pull gently. Repeat once vertically if desired. Knot securely and hide the ends inside the head.

Styling Notes for Accurate Photo Matching

For the closest match to the image, keep the bunny body slender under the dress. Do not overstuff the torso or arms. The head should remain round and slightly oversized compared with the body. The feet should be small and together, not spread apart.

Use mostly ivory and white, with only soft pastel accents. The flowers should look dimensional and romantic rather than bright or bold. Keep the embroidery fine. The overall mood should feel delicate, vintage, and garden-inspired.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the ears fall evenly, the hat sits low, and the shoulder bag crosses naturally. Re-shape the cheeks with gentle stuffing adjustments if needed. Keep the eyes small and calm. A tiny nose and short mouth line will preserve the sweet expression shown in the image.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight
• Avoid heavy squeezing of the dimensional flowers
• Handle the hat brim and bag strap gently
• Use this set as decor or a gentle collectible toy rather than rough-play item

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are both ears attached at the same height?
• Does the dress flare evenly around the body?
• Are the white blossoms clustered mostly on the left front?
• Is the hat flower embroidery placed on one side only?
• Does the bag strap cross the chest neatly?
• Are the props scaled smaller than the bunny and arranged like the photo?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust gently with a soft dry brush. Spot clean only with cool water and a mild wool-safe soap. Press moisture out with a towel and reshape by hand. Dry flat away from heat. For long-term storage, wrap in acid-free tissue and keep in a breathable box.
