Design Notes
This bunny has a large rounded head, long soft lop ears, a slim neck, tapered arms, sturdy legs, and a full dress with a very wide skirt. The silhouette matters as much as the stitch work, so do not overstuff the arms and ears.
The dress is the visual focus. The skirt should sit in a full bell shape, not limp straight down. Use firm stitches and shape the waist carefully so the skirt opens wide across the lap, just like the reference image.
The facial expression is gentle and simple. The eyes are placed wide apart, the nose is tiny and centered, and the brows are lightly curved. Keep the cheeks softly blushed, not heavily colored.

Insert safety eyes between Rounds 14 and 15 with about 12 visible stitches between them. Because the face in the image looks soft and open, place the eyes slightly lower than center rather than too high.
- Round 23: 8 sc, dec rep 6 times. (54)
- Round 24: 7 sc, dec rep 6 times. (48)
- Round 25: 6 sc, dec rep 6 times. (42)
- Round 26: 5 sc, dec rep 6 times. (36)
Stuff the head firmly, especially the cheeks and crown, but keep the lower face smooth. Continue shaping with your fingers so the head stays spherical and not oval.
- Round 27: 4 sc, dec rep 6 times. (30)
- Round 28: 3 sc, dec rep 6 times. (24)
- Round 29: 2 sc, dec rep 6 times. (18)
Do not finish off yet if you want to join directly to the neck. Otherwise leave a long tail for sewing.
Muzzle Shaping
The face in the image is not strongly protruding, so skip a separate stuffed muzzle. Instead, use light thread sculpting. Pass matching yarn through the face just under the eyes and pull only slightly to create shallow cheek definition.
Embroider a small pink triangular nose centered between Rounds 15 and 16. Add one short vertical line under the nose. Keep the mouth minimal or omit it entirely for the same sweet look as the image.
Bunny Body
The body is a slim cone hidden under the dress. It must support the dress volume but should not be too bulky.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc rep 6 times. (18)
- Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep 6 times. (24)

- Rounds 11-15: sc around. (36)
- Round 16: 4 sc, dec rep 6 times. (30)
- Rounds 17-19: sc around. (30)
- Round 20: 3 sc, dec rep 6 times. (24)
- Rounds 21-23: sc around. (24)
Stuff firmly at the lower body and moderately at the upper body. The doll needs a solid seated structure, but the chest should stay narrow so the dress bodice fits neatly.
Fasten off with a long tail. Sew the head to the body carefully, keeping the chin slightly forward and the neck centered. The head should not tilt backward.
Legs Make 2
The legs in the image are medium length, cylindrical, and slightly narrowed near the ankle because the shoes cover the feet. Start with the shoe sole color in royal blue.
- Round 1: ch 7. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 4, inc in last st. (14)
- Round 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
- Round 3: sc around in BLO. (20)
- Round 4: 6 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 8 sc. (18)
- Round 5: 5 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 7 sc. (16)
Change to cream.
- Round 6: BLO sc around. (16)
- Rounds 7-18: sc around. (16)
- Round 19: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
- Rounds 20-24: sc around. (14)
Stuff the foot firmly and the leg moderately. Flatten the top opening and close with 7 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing if you prefer. Make sure both feet angle forward evenly.
Arms Make 2
The arms are slim and lightly stuffed, with gentle bend at the hands so they can hold the teacup.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc around. (12)
- Round 4: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
- Round 5: sc around. (10)
- Round 6: 3 sc, dec, 3 sc, dec. (8)
- Rounds 7-18: sc around. (8)
Lightly stuff only the lower half. Flatten top and close with 4 sc through both sides. Leave a long tail. Sew arms at the upper body just below the neck so they angle forward across the front of the bodice.
Ears Make 2
The ears are long, wide, and softly drooping. They should reach close to shoulder level when attached. Do not overstuff. In the image they are unstuffed and naturally folded.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: inc around. (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc rep 6 times. (18)
- Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep 6 times. (24)

📌Thank you for reading the article
Flatten each ear and stitch the opening closed. Sew to the head at about Rounds 8 to 10, a little behind the eye line. The ears should fall straight down with a soft outward curve.
Dress Bodice
The dress is worked separately and then fitted to the body. It has a high waist, short sleeves, white neckline trim, and a full gathered skirt. Use royal blue for the main bodice.
- Round 1: ch 25, join carefully without twisting. (25)
- Round 2: sc around. (25)
- Round 3: sc around. (25)
Check the fit around the bunny chest. It should be snug. Adjust by adding or subtracting 1 or 2 starting chains if needed, but keep the bodice fitted.
- Round 4: 5 sc, ch 4, skip 4, 7 sc, ch 4, skip 4, 5 sc. (25 plus 2 arm openings)

- Round 6: sc around. (25)
- Round 7: working into FLO, 4 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, 5 sc. (29)
Fasten off if working skirt separately from the waist loops, or continue directly.
Neckline Trim
Join white to the top edge of the bodice.

- Round 2: ch 1, rep sl st, ch 1 in each stitch for a delicate picot-like edge.
Sleeve Trim
Join white at each arm opening.
- Round 1: sc evenly around opening, about 10 to 12 sc.
- Round 2: rep sl st, ch 1 around for a tiny frill.
Full Skirt
This skirt must be rich and wide. It is the key feature of the whole design. The image shows a dense royal blue skirt with a strong bell shape, decorative white floral embroidery, and a lace hem underneath.
Join royal blue to the waist loops from Bodice Round 7.
- Round 1: inc in each st around. (58)
- Round 2: sc around. (58)

- Round 13: 11 sc, inc rep 8 times. (104)
- Rounds 14-19: sc around. (104)
At this point, try the dress on the doll. The skirt should spread generously over the lap. If you want even more fullness, add one more increase round to reach 112 stitches, then work 3 to 4 plain rounds.
Hem Rounds
- Round 20: BLO sc around in blue. (104)
- Round 21: sc around. (104)
Fasten off blue. Join white to the lower hem.
- Round 22: in FLO of Round 20, rep 2 sc, ch 2, skip 1 around for a small eyelet effect.
- Round 23: sc in each sc and 2 sc in each ch-2 space.
If using real lace trim for the exact look, sew narrow white lace under the hem now. If you prefer fully crocheted finishing, work a delicate edging of sl st, ch 2 around once more.
Skirt Embroidery
The white floral work on the skirt is essential to matching the image. Use white embroidery floss or split white cotton yarn. Work after the skirt is completed and lightly blocked.
Create 3 horizontal decorative zones:
- Upper floral scatter: small five-petal flowers spaced around the lower half of the skirt
- Curved scallop vine: a repeating arched line near the bottom
- Lower floral repeats: tiny leaves and blossoms rising from each scallop
For each flower, make a central straight stitch and 5 detached chain or satin stitch petals. Keep each motif about 0.5 inch wide. Use silver-white or soft white thread if you want the slightly luminous appearance seen in the image.
📌Thank you for reading the article
The scallop line can be embroidered with backstitch worked in wide arches, each arch spanning about 8 to 10 skirt stitches. Add tiny branch stitches and leaf stitches above the arches.
Mary Jane Shoes Make 2
The shoes are royal blue with pale edging and a strap across the foot. They should fit snugly over the base feet or be sewn permanently onto the feet.

With white, embroider a fine line around the sole edge. Add a tiny blue or white flower at the outer side if desired.

- Sew arms slightly forward to hold the tea cup.
- Sew ears to head and shape them downward.
- Dress the bunny with bodice and skirt.
- Add shoes.

Positioning Tips for an Accurate Look
- Head: keep it upright, not tilted sharply
- Ears: both ears should hang low and close to the cheeks
- Arms: slightly bent inward so the cup sits centered
- Dress: spread the skirt in a smooth semicircle while shaping
- Bag: wear it on the bunny’s right side across the body
- Shoes: show the strap clearly across each foot
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Embroider the eyebrows as thin, gently arched lines slightly above the eyes. Add soft pink blush to the cheeks with pastel or fabric-safe color. Keep the expression calm and delicate. Shape the hands around the saucer and cup so the tea party pose looks natural and balanced.
Care Notes
Display the doll away from direct sunlight to protect the royal blue yarn and white embroidery. Avoid hanging the doll by the ears or bag strap. If the doll is mainly for display, lightly tack the accessories in place so the arrangement stays neat.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Do not machine wash if the doll includes blush, embroidery, lace trim, or attached accessories. Store flat or upright in a dust-free cabinet. For long-term preservation, wrap loosely in acid-free tissue and keep in a cool, dry place.
