Finished Size

The bunny is designed to stand about 11 to 12 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including the hat brim. With the hat on, the full height is about 13 inches. The duck is about 4 inches tall. The watering can, basket, and handbag are scaled to fit the bunny exactly as shown.

Gauge and Style Notes

Work tightly in continuous rounds unless the pattern clearly says to join. Use a hook size that keeps the stuffing from showing through. The figure in the photo has smooth, compact stitches and a very neat surface, so tight tension matters.

The body is slender and doll-like. The head is large and softly rounded. The ears are long and drape straight down. The dress has a fitted bodice and a full layered skirt. The hat is wide and slightly floppy with rolled pink edging and three roses on one side.

Design Overview

This pattern is written as a full display set. Make the bunny first, then dress her in the pink tiered outfit, then add the hat and handbag.

1. With pale pink, ch 26.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (25)

• Shoulder ruffles: angled upward slightly, not flat
• Skirt: white layer must show beneath pink tier
• Scallops: visible on all lower edges

Color Placement Guide

• Bunny: cream
• Dress base: pale pink
• Lace layers: white
• Roses: rose pink
• Leaves: soft green
• Shoes: pale pink
• Hat: cream with pink band and trim
• Bag: cream with pink details

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the ears first, then place the hat so the brim frames the face and slightly overlaps the top of the ears. Embroider a tiny pink triangle nose between the eyes and add a short vertical line below it. Stitch fine black eyelashes at the outer corners of the eyes. Dress the bunny, sew on the roses, attach the handbag to one hand, and arrange the accessories around the figure.

Care Notes

Use gentle handling when moving the hat, handbag, and duck fishing rod. If the doll is intended for display, keep it away from heavy moisture and long periods of direct sunlight. Cotton yarn helps the stitches stay crisp and keeps the outfit looking polished.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head firmly stuffed and centered
• Ears matched and evenly attached
• Eyes aligned at the same height
• Three front roses positioned in a straight line
• White skirt visible under pink overskirt
• Hat brim wide and balanced
• Shoes secured to feet
• Bag, duck, fish, basket, and watering can completed

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash if the hat roses, handbag details, or accessories are sewn in place delicately. Reshape while drying flat. Store the set in a clean, dry area. For long-term display, place it away from dust, heat, and strong sun to preserve both color and stitch definition.
