Crochet Tutorial: Powder Blue Rose Lace Bunny – Free Crochet Pattern

This elegant amigurumi bunny is designed as a heirloom-style crochet doll with a powder blue rose dress, a wide-brim garden hat, a matching floral satchel, and sweet picnic accessories. It is perfect for makers who love collectible crochet dolls, handmade bunny decor, and boutique-style spring designs.

The finished set also makes a beautiful choice for readers searching for a crochet bunny gift, amigurumi rabbit pattern, or handmade nursery keepsake. The soft pastel palette, lace trims, layered roses, and storybook styling create a polished piece that looks ready for a gift shop, artisan market, or custom order display.

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 crochet scene shown in the image:

• Main bunny doll with long ears and a soft oval face
• Powder blue dress coat with pink center panel and cream lace trim
• Raised crochet roses and leaves across the bodice, skirt, sleeves, and hat
• Wide-brim floral hat in powder blue with pink edging
• Blue floral satchel bag
• Mini bread basket
• Mini floral teapot
• Mini badger companion in rustic clothing with lantern

The instructions are written in US English and use standard amigurumi construction with tight single crochet rounds. The body proportions are intentionally graceful: a large head, slim neck, narrow shoulders, modest arms, a bell-shaped layered skirt, and a dramatic brimmed hat that frames the face.

Skill Level

Intermediate to advanced. A confident beginner can still complete this pattern if working slowly and checking stitch counts often.

• Fiberfill stuffing
• Thin floral wire or craft wire for hat shaping if desired
• Light cardboard or plastic canvas for the hat brim and bag base

• Cream: lace edging, underskirt trim, floral details
• Sage green: leaves and tiny stem accents

Finished Size

If made with the yarn and hooks above, the bunny is approximately 13.5 to 15 inches tall from feet to top of hat, or about 11 inches tall without the hat. The badger companion is about 4.5 inches tall.

For the look shown, the doll should feel firm but not hard. The head is smooth and rounded, the ears are softly padded at the base but flatter toward the tips, and the skirt must drape wide enough to create the elegant garden silhouette seen in the image.

19. Rnd 48: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)

Stuff firmly from the hips upward, keeping the tummy smooth and the upper chest slightly narrow. The body should remain slim because most of the volume in the finished piece comes from the dress layers rather than the torso itself.

Neck

1. Rnd 49-53: sc around. (18)

Stuff the neck tightly so the head stays upright. Leave a long tail for sewing if you prefer to attach the head separately after shaping.

2. Rnd 2: inc x6. (12)

6. Rnd 7-15: sc around. (10)
7. Rnd 16: flatten and sc through both sides across 5 sts. Fasten off with long tail.

Stuff only the lower half of each arm. Sew the arms to the body at each side of the upper torso, slightly below the neckline. Angle them downward and forward so the hands rest naturally in front of the skirt.

Sleeve Ruffle (make 2)

Join dusty pink to the outer sleeve edge at Rnd 7.

1. Round 1: (2 dc in one st, 1 dc in next st) around. Join.

Face Details

• Embroider a tiny pink triangular nose centered between the eyes, about 3 rounds lower.
• Add a very short vertical stitch under the nose.
• Embroider curved black lashes at the outer eye corners.

Sew the pink panel onto the center of each ear. Attach ears to the head between Rnds 5 and 8, spaced so they fall from under the hat brim. Sew them so they hang vertically with a soft inward curve.

Head Attachment

Sew the head to the neck securely. Make sure the face points forward and the neck remains centered. Before closing the final seam, add extra stuffing if needed so the chin sits neatly above the neckline without collapsing.

Base Dress Panel

Fasten off and sew to the front center of the body, beginning just under the neck. The lower edge should reach the base of the skirt area.

Top Bodice Rose

Make 1 small rose in medium pink and sew at the center upper bodice.

Outer Skirt and Coat Panels

The image shows a powder blue outer layer with front opening panels that fold back to reveal the pink dress. These panels also carry cream lace edging and rose embellishments.

Main Skirt Foundation (powder blue)

Join yarn in the FLO round left at body Rnd 44.

1. Rnd 1: (2 sc in each st around). (48)
2. Rnd 2: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (54)
4. Rnd 4: (8 sc, inc) x6. (60)

Front Open Coat Panels (make 2 in powder blue)

2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (25)
3. Row 2-16: sc across. (25)

8. Row 21-24: continue tapering one stitch at each side every other row until 17 sts remain.
9. Row 25-30: sc across. (17)

These pieces should be slightly curved when sewn on. Attach them from the shoulder area down over the front skirt, leaving the center pink panel visible. The lower edges should flare outward gently.

Pink Inner Frill on Front Edges

Join dusty pink along each front open edge.

1. Work 2 dc in each row-end space down the edge.
2. Next pass: *(sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in 3 sts, sl st in next 2 sts* to form a soft scallop.

Cream Lace Edge

Join cream along the inner edge of each blue front panel and lower skirt edge.

1. Round 1: sc evenly around.
2. Round 2: ch 3, skip 1 st, sc in next st, ch 3, skip 1 st around.
3. Round 3: in each ch-3 space work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc).

This lace should look delicate and slightly open, matching the ornate edging in the image without becoming too deep or heavy.

Underskirt Lace

Using cream, create a separate lace strip and sew just beneath the pink dress panel and skirt hem so it peeks out.

1. Ch 70.
2. Row 1: sc across.
3. Row 2: ch 4, skip 2 sts, sc in next st across.
4. Row 3: in each ch-4 space work (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc).

1. In pink, ch 26.
2. Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, 3 dc in each ch across.

1. In pale pink or cream, ch 16.
2. Row 1: 2 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 2 hdc in each remaining ch.

Badger Companion

The badger is a small supporting figure. Keep the body compact and the clothing fitted.

Head

• Work a white oval head to about 24 to 30 sts at widest point.
• Add black side eye patches and a black nose.
• Use tiny round black eyes.

Body and Outfit

• Gray lower body and arms
• Brown vest panel with two embroidered buttons
• Olive neck scarf
• Brown flat cap with pale trim

Lantern

• Make a tiny brown handle piece
• Add a gold or tan center panel
• Sew into one paw

Final Assembly and Floral Placement

1. Sew head to body.
2. Sew ears to head and angle them straight downward.
3. Attach arms.
4. Sew pink front panel to body.
5. Attach blue skirt and front coat panels.
6. Add pink ruffles and cream lace trims.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the eyes sit evenly under the hat brim and that the nose is centered. Add fine lashes, tiny cheek blush, and a smooth neck seam. Adjust the ears so both hang at the same length and soften the face with gentle finger shaping before final display.

Care Notes

Display indoors away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handle the hat brim, flowers, and lace gently. If gifting, place the doll in a box with tissue support around the hat and accessories so the shaping stays neat.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head firmly stuffed and centered
• Ears even and symmetrical
• Hat brim balanced
• Dress front panel aligned
• Lace trims securely sewn
• Roses attached tightly
• Satchel hanging naturally
• Mini accessories complete

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean only with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak. Reshape lace and brim while slightly damp, then air dry flat. Store in a breathable box with acid-free tissue. Keep away from heavy pressure so the flowers, ears, and hat do not flatten over time.
