Gauge and General Notes

Use a tight amigurumi tension so the stuffing does not show through the stitches. With a 2.25 mm hook and light DK cotton yarn, 6 single crochet stitches should measure about 1 inch. Exact gauge is less important than keeping the fabric firm and even.

Work most pieces in continuous spiral rounds unless the pattern says to join. Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. Stuff the head firmly, stuff the body medium-firm, and stuff the arms, ears, and tiny accessories lightly or not at all.

The bunny in the image has a rounded head, a short neck, a small body hidden under a flared blue dress, narrow arms, short legs, oval feet, and long ears that hang down beside the face. The accessories should stay small so the finished doll keeps the soft cottage look.

Bunny Head

Use white yarn and a 2.25 mm hook. The head is round and slightly wider through the cheeks. Keep the face front centered between the eyes and place the ears later so they fall along the sides of the head.

Insert the safety eyes between R13 and R14, about 9 stitches apart. The eyes should sit low and wide, giving the bunny the gentle expression shown in the image. Before locking the washers, check that the nose will fit between the eyes.

• Bring the pink yarn down from the center of the nose to R17 to form the vertical mouth line.

• Optional: add very soft pink blush under each eye with a tiny amount of blush powder.

Bunny Body

The body is white and simple because most of it will be covered by the blue dress. It should have a narrow neck, a small rounded belly, and a flat bottom that helps the bunny sit neatly.

2. R2: inc in each st around. (12)

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: sc 1, inc; repeat 3 times. (9)
3. R3-R10: sc around. (9)

Stuff lightly. FO, leaving a tail. Sew one foot to the bottom of each leg, placing the longer oval side horizontally so the feet point forward.

2. R2: sc 1, inc; repeat 3 times. (9)
3. R3-R13: sc around. (9)

Tiny Garden Trowel

The trowel is a small decorative prop with a brown handle and a gray shovel blade. Keep it flat and light so it can be placed beside the bunny or lightly stitched to the set.

Handle

1. With brown yarn, ch 8.
2. Starting in the second ch from hook, sc 7.
3. Ch 1, turn, sc 7.
4. FO, leaving a tail.

FO and sew the narrow end of the gray blade to one end of the brown handle. Wrap brown yarn around the handle 4 times to create the ridged handle look.

Gray Watering Can

The watering can is worked in gray yarn with a rounded body, small spout, side handle, and top loop. It should look like the tiny garden prop placed beside the bunny in the photo.

Watering Can Body

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc in each st around. (12)
3. R3: sc 1, inc; repeat 6 times. (18)
4. R4-R6: sc around. (18)

FO and close the hole. Flatten the bottom slightly with your fingers.

Spout

1. R1: 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. R2-R4: sc around. (5)

• For the top loop, ch 8, sl st back across 7 chains, and sew it to the top center of the can.
• Add a tiny 3-stitch gray nub on the back side if desired to match the rounded side detail.

Assembly Order

Take time with assembly because the gentle expression and cottage styling depend on placement. Pin all parts before sewing. Use matching yarn tails and small stitches so seams stay hidden.

1. Sew the head to the body, placing the neck at the center underside of the head. The face should look slightly upward.
2. Sew the legs to the bottom front of the body, spaced about 5 stitches apart.
3. Sew the feet to the legs if you have not already attached them.
4. Place the dress over the body. The bodice should sit just below the neck.
5. Sew the dress straps over the shoulders, then secure the back of the bodice with a few hidden stitches.
6. Sew the arms to the sides of the body at R15 of the body, just under the dress straps. Angle them downward.
7. Sew the ears to the sides of the head between R7 and R10. The ears should hang down beside the face, with pink inner patches facing forward.
8. Sew or tie the flower crown across the top front of the head, just in front of the ear bases.
9. Place the satchel strap diagonally from the bunny’s left shoulder to the right side of the skirt. Secure the bag near the lower front-right side of the dress.
10. Sew the sandals securely around the feet. Add the tiny side flowers last.
11. Display the straw hat, trowel, and watering can beside the bunny, or lightly tack them to a base if making a finished display piece.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the face after the ears and flower crown are attached. If the eyes need more softness, add one tiny white highlight stitch beside each eye. Keep the highlight small so the glossy safety eyes remain the main feature.

• The pink nose should sit centered between the eyes, with a short vertical line below it.
• The eyebrows should be light brown and gently curved, not heavy.
• The ears should hang evenly and frame the cheeks.
• The dress should flare outward without covering the sandals completely.
• The satchel should rest on the skirt, not too low on the legs.

Care Notes

Spot clean the bunny with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the flower crown, hat bow, and tiny embroidered details. If the doll becomes misshapen, gently reshape it with your fingers and let it air dry flat.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is round, firm, and smooth.
• Eyes are even and placed low for a sweet cottage look.
• Long ears hang beside the face with pink inner ears visible.
• Blue dress has a flared skirt, white lace hem, and daisy embroidery.
• Satchel strap crosses the body diagonally.
• Sandals have small flower accents.
• Hat has a blue ribbon, bow, and tiny flower.
• Trowel and watering can are small enough to match the doll scale.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the bunny away from direct sunlight to protect the white yarn, blue dress, and tiny flower colors. Keep the straw hat flat when storing so the brim does not fold. For long-term display, place the bunny on a clean shelf away from dust and moisture.

If the dress hem curls, smooth it gently with your fingers. Do not iron acrylic yarn directly. For cotton yarn, you may use very light steam from a distance, but keep steam away from safety eyes, glued details, and delicate embroidery.
