This sweet crochet jewelry box features a cream rectangular base, a raised midnight-blue starry back panel, and a rounded greenhouse dome with brown crochet framing and clear window inserts. Inside the miniature garden scene are a cream bunny wearing mint-green overalls, a hanging moon charm, pastel tiled flooring, potted flowers, mushrooms, tiny pumpkins, a chair, and a watering can.
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 crochet terms and is designed as a structured miniature greenhouse jewelry box. The project combines amigurumi, flat crochet panels, firm box construction, embroidery, and simple hand sewing. The goal is to recreate the rounded cream jewelry box with a moonlit garden greenhouse scene as closely as possible.
The box is worked around a firm base so it can hold its shape. The greenhouse dome is made with crochet ribs sewn over clear vinyl pieces. The bunny is small, rounded, soft, and balanced to stand inside the box. The details are intentionally tiny, so use a smaller hook and tight tension.
Finished Size
- Closed-style base footprint: about 7.5 in wide, 5.5 in deep.
- Front wall height: about 1.5 in.
- Back night panel height: about 6.25 in from the floor.
- Greenhouse dome height: about 4.25 in at the center.
- Bunny height: about 3.25 in from feet to ear tips.
- Scale: miniature jewelry box or display diorama size.
Skill Level
Intermediate. A confident beginner can make the small pieces, but the shaped box, dome frame, and clear-panel assembly require patience. Take time to count rows and pin pieces before sewing.
Materials
- Sport weight cotton yarn in cream, ivory, dark navy, warm brown, mint green, pastel yellow, pastel blue, pastel pink, pastel lavender, white, leaf green, dark soil brown, orange, red, gray, and small amounts of black.
- 2.25 mm crochet hook for the box, bunny, and main details.
- 1.75 mm crochet hook for flowers, stars, mushrooms, and facial features.
- Fiberfill stuffing.
- Plastic canvas or thin cardboard for the base, side walls, and back panel.
- Clear flexible vinyl or clear plastic sheet for greenhouse windows.
- Tapestry needle.
- Sewing needle and matching thread.
- Small safety eyes, 4 mm, or black embroidery thread.
- Stitch markers.
- Scissors.
- Optional: fabric glue for securing vinyl edges before stitching.
Gauge
Using a 2.25 mm hook and sport weight cotton, 8 single crochet stitches and 8 rows should measure about 1 inch. Gauge is important for the box and greenhouse frame. If your fabric is loose, move down a hook size so the walls stay firm.

Important Construction Notes
The base, back wall, and greenhouse dome need structure. Crochet alone will be too soft unless your yarn is very firm. Cut plastic canvas pieces after crocheting each panel, then insert them before the final seaming. This creates the neat rounded jewelry-box shape shown in the image.
The clear greenhouse windows are not crocheted. They are cut from transparent vinyl and stitched behind the brown crochet frame. Keep the vinyl slightly smaller than each opening so it does not buckle when the dome curves.
Work all amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless the instructions say to join. Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. Stuff pieces firmly but not so tightly that stitches stretch open.

Part 18: Final Greenhouse Placement
- Set the brown front arch on the inside edge of the box, about 1/4 inch behind the front wall.
- Pin the arch ends to the left and right inside corners.
- Sew through the arch strip and into the floor and side rim.
- Attach the back arch to the blue panel, following the curve shown in the image.
- Sew the center roof rib from the front arch to the back arch.
- Add the side ribs and horizontal bars.
- Attach clear vinyl panels after the frame is secure.
- Hang the stuffed crescent moon from the center rib.
Check the dome from the front. It should look like a rounded greenhouse roof with brown framing, blue transparent window spaces, and the cream moon hanging in the middle.
Part 19: Placing the Garden Details
Arrange all small pieces before sewing. The bunny should stand slightly right of center. The white fence sits behind it. Flowers fill the left side, while the chair and pink roses sit on the right. Pumpkins belong at the front right corner, and mushrooms sit near the left-middle floor.
- Sew the white fence to the back floor first.
- Sew the chair behind the bunny on the right side.

- Sew the mushrooms slightly in front of the pots.
- Sew the pink rose pot to the right side.

- Sew the bunny to the tiled floor through both feet.
- Add one small stitch from the bunny’s back to the chair or floor if extra support is needed.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Attach the bunny’s head securely to the body, then check the face from the front. The eyes should sit evenly, the nose should be tiny, and the mouth should have a gentle expression. Add blush-colored cheek stitches only after the head is sewn on.
Make sure the overalls sit smoothly around the bunny body. Tack the bib corners down with mint yarn. If the straps lift, sew one tiny stitch at each shoulder. The bunny should look dressed, neat, and soft, not bulky.
Review the greenhouse dome and tighten any loose joins where brown ribs cross. The window bars should look like a structured grid. If a vinyl panel shifts, secure the edge with two or three extra sewing stitches behind the crochet frame.
Care Notes
- Spot clean only with a slightly damp cloth.
- Do not machine wash because the box contains structure, vinyl, and many sewn miniatures.
- Keep away from strong heat so the clear window panels do not warp.
- Store upright to protect the greenhouse dome and hanging moon.
- If used as a jewelry box, place only lightweight rings, earrings, or small trinkets inside.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- The cream base sits flat and does not wobble.
- The front wall is lower than the tall back panel.
- The navy night sky is centered and bordered cleanly.
- The embroidered stars are scattered naturally.
- The back crescent moon is placed in the upper right corner.
- The greenhouse dome is rounded, not flat.
- The clear window panels are smooth and lightly curved.
- The bunny stands right of center in mint overalls.
- The hanging moon is centered under the roof rib.
- The pots, mushrooms, pumpkins, fence, chair, and flowers are sewn securely.
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
To preserve the shape, dust the piece gently with a soft makeup brush or small craft brush. Work from the top of the dome downward so dust does not collect in the flowers. Avoid pulling on the hanging moon, window bars, or flower stems.
For small stains, use cool water on a white cloth and dab the area gently. Do not rub the stitches. Let the piece air dry completely in a shaded spot. Never place it near a heater, bright sun, or hair dryer.
When storing, place acid-free tissue inside the greenhouse dome to help support the curve. Keep the bunny and flowers uncovered enough that they are not crushed. A clear display box is ideal if the piece will be used as decoration.
