Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Notes

This amigurumi pattern uses US crochet terms and is worked mostly in continuous spiral rounds. Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. Do not join rounds unless the instruction says to join. The pictured bunny has a compact body, a large oval head, short rounded limbs, tall ears, and detailed accessories.

The main bunny is designed to look plush, neat, and slightly firm. Stuff the head and body generously, but avoid overstuffing the ears, arms, and feet. The accessories should stay lightweight so they sit naturally around the doll.

Finished Size

  • Bunny height with ears: about 9.5 inches when made with worsted weight cotton yarn and a 2.75 mm hook.
  • Bunny body height without ears: about 6.5 inches.
  • Blue sunhat width: about 3.5 inches.
  • Picnic basket width: about 1.75 inches.
  • Flower pot height: about 1.4 inches.

Gauge and Tension

For the closest look, your stitches should be tight enough that stuffing does not show. A 2.75 mm hook with worsted weight yarn gives a dense, rounded finish like the image. If your crochet is loose, go down a hook size. If your pieces feel stiff and hard, go up slightly.

The blue dungarees and accessories should look slightly smoother than the bunny body. Keep the same hook for clothing so the garment hugs the body. Use the smaller hook for flowers, daisies, and straps to keep those details small and delicate.

Head

Use white yarn. The head is a rounded oval, wider across the cheeks and slightly flatter at the lower neck area. Stuff firmly as you go. Place the red eyes between rounds 13 and 14, about 9 stitches apart.

FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not close the opening completely. This opening will sit on the top of the body and create the short neck seen in the image.

Body

Use white yarn. The body is small compared with the head. It starts narrow at the neck, rounds out at the belly, and tapers slightly at the bottom so the dungarees sit snugly over it.

FO, leaving a sewing tail. Sew one panel to each ear with tiny stitches. Embroider small pink roses, blue dots, yellow centers, and green stems on the panels. Keep the embroidery light so the ear remains soft.

Facial Details

The face is simple and centered. Use red yarn or embroidery floss for the mouth. Make one short diagonal stitch from upper left to lower right, then a second short diagonal stitch from upper right to lower left to form the small “X”.

  • Eyes: red safety eyes or beads between rounds 13 and 14, about 9 stitches apart.
  • Mouth: centered between the eyes, about 2 rounds lower.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Pot

  1. Rnd 1: With terracotta yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: sc 1, inc, repeat around. (18)

  5. Rnd 5-7: sc around. (18)
  6. Rnd 8: sc 2, inc, repeat around. (24)
  7. Rnd 9: sc around. (24)

FO and weave in the end. Stuff the pot lightly. With brown yarn, make a small top soil circle: 6 sc in MR, inc around to 12, then sc 1, inc around to 18. Sew it inside the top opening.

Flowers and Leaves

  • For a pink flower: In MR, repeat ch 2, 2 hdc, ch 2, sl st into ring five times.
  • For a white flower: Make the same flower using white yarn and add a yellow center stitch.
  • For leaves: Ch 5, sl st in second ch, sc, hdc, sc, FO.

Sew two or three flowers onto the soil circle. Add green leaves around them. Let the flowers tilt slightly outward, like the picture, so the pot looks full and cheerful.

Optional Embroidered Details

The image includes many small handmade details that make the bunny feel special. These details are optional, but they help match the finished look closely. Use embroidery floss or split cotton yarn for the neatest result.

  • Inner ears: tiny pink roses, blue dots, yellow accents, and green stems.
  • Dungarees: scattered white daisies with yellow centers and green stems.
  • Paws: three small red stitches on each hand.
  • Cheeks: soft blush below the eyes.
  • Hat: raised white daisies on the brim and crown.

How to Make Tiny Rose Embroidery

Use pink yarn or embroidery floss. Make one small straight stitch, then wrap 3 to 4 short curved stitches around it in a loose circle. Add one darker pink dot in the center if desired. Keep each rose small, about the height of one crochet round.

For leaves, make two tiny green diagonal stitches beside each rose. For blue flowers, make four tiny blue straight stitches crossing at the center. This creates the delicate floral print inside the bunny ears.

Assembly Order

  1. Sew the legs to the lower body first.
  2. Slide the dungarees onto the body and adjust the leg openings.
  3. Sew the body to the head using the white neck opening.
  4. Sew the arms to the sides, letting them rest over the dungarees.
  5. Sew the ears upright on the head.
  6. Sew the inner ear panels onto the ears.
  7. Add the headband and flowers around the ear base.
  8. Add facial embroidery, cheeks, and paw stitches.
  9. Place the purse strap across the chest and sew the purse at the hip.
  10. Fit the sandals on the feet and secure with small hidden stitches.
  11. Finish the sunhat, picnic basket, and flower pot separately.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Use long, secure stitches when joining the head to the body. Go around the neck at least twice so the head stays upright. The large head should sit centered, with the face looking straight forward and the ears rising evenly from the top.

After all pieces are attached, check the face. The red eyes should be balanced. The red “X” mouth should be small and centered. Add blush softly under both eyes. For the closest match, keep the expression calm, sweet, and simple.

Care Notes

Spot clean only when possible. Use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the doll because the accessories, embroidery, and blush details may shift or fade. Let the piece air dry fully before storing.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head is round, firm, and centered on the small body.
  • Ears are tall, upright, and slightly angled outward.
  • Inner ears have cream panels with tiny floral embroidery.
  • Dungarees fit snugly with crossed straps and daisy details.
  • Red eyes, small “X” mouth, blush cheeks, and paw stitches are complete.
  • Purse, sandals, sunhat, basket, and flower pot are finished and neat.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Keep the bunny away from direct sunlight for long periods, especially if you use blush powder or bright embroidery colors. Store the accessories together in a small cotton bag so the hat, basket, and flower pot do not get lost.

If the crochet fabric becomes flattened, gently reshape it with clean fingers. Do not iron the stuffed doll. For long-term display, place it on a clean shelf away from moisture, dust, and pets that may pull on the tiny flowers.
