Hibiscus Kimono Breeze Bunny is a soft, beachy crochet bunny dressed in a cream summer dress, a coral kimono-style jacket, and a wide-brim sunhat topped with a hibiscus flower. The look is finished with crisscross sandals and a small shell-texture crossbody bag that hangs neatly across the chest.

This set is perfect if you like to buy cotton yarn for clean stitches, buy safety eyes for a glossy doll face, or buy crochet hooks in small sizes for tight amigurumi fabric. You’ll also make a tiny cow friend with matching outfit pieces, plus a mini drink cup and a small starfish accessory.

 

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

Finished Size

• Main bunny: about 10–12 in (25–30 cm) tall when standing.
• Mini cow: about 4–5 in (10–13 cm) tall.
• Sunhat brim: about 4.5–5.5 in (11–14 cm) across.

Skill Level

• Confident beginner to intermediate.
• You should be comfortable with working in continuous rounds, sewing pieces cleanly, and making small appliques.

Materials

• Yarn (DK or sport weight recommended):
• Color A: Warm beige/tan (bunny body, hat, shell bag)
• Color B: Cream/off-white (dress, cow body base)
• Color C: Coral/salmon (kimono jacket, hibiscus petals, cow shorts)
• Color D: Pink (tiny nose detail, optional blush)
• Color E: Black (cow patches, hooves, tiny accents)
• Color F: White (cow facial accents if needed)
• Color G: Light green (drink liquid layer)
• Color H: Pale gray or clear thread (for “glass” cup look if you want stitching support)
• Optional: pale yellow for hibiscus stamen tip highlight

Tools and Notions

• Crochet hook 2.25–3.0 mm (choose size that gives tight fabric)
• Stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Polyfill stuffing
• Safety eyes: 8–10 mm for bunny, 6–8 mm for cow (or embroidered eyes)
• Optional: craft wire for hat brim support (display only)

Gauge and Tension

Exact gauge is not critical, but your fabric must be dense. Stuffing should not show through stitches. If you see gaps, move down a hook size. If your stitches are very stiff, keep the smaller hook for the body and use a slightly larger hook for clothing pieces.

General Notes for an Accurate Look

The image shows a smooth, tidy amigurumi texture with small, even stitches. Keep your rounds consistent, move your stitch marker each round, and stuff firmly but evenly. The outfit pieces are fitted and crisp, so block the dress skirt and jacket lightly if your yarn benefits from it.

All pieces are designed to match the photo: a beige bunny with long floppy ears, black glossy eyes, a small pink nose, cream dress with hibiscus flowers along the hem, coral kimono jacket with matching flower cuffs, beige sunhat with coral band and hibiscus flower, crisscross sandals, and a shell-texture crossbody bag.

Main Bunny (Color A)

Head

Work in continuous rounds. Place marker in first stitch of each round. Stuff as you go for a smooth shape.

1. Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc x6 (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc 1, inc) x6 (18)
4. Rnd 4: (sc 2, inc) x6 (24)
5. Rnd 5: (sc 3, inc) x6 (30)
6. Rnd 6: (sc 4, inc) x6 (36)
7. Rnd 7: (sc 5, inc) x6 (42)
8. Rnd 8–13: sc around (42)

Create a very gentle muzzle by adding a small increase line at the front center. This helps the nose sit forward like in the image without making a separate snout piece.

1. Rnd 14: sc 18, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 20 (44)
2. Rnd 15: sc around (44)
3. Rnd 16: sc 19, inc, sc 3, inc, sc 20 (46)
4. Rnd 17–18: sc around (46)

Insert safety eyes between Rnd 11 and Rnd 12, about 9–10 sts apart. The eyes in the image are centered and calm, not too wide. Adjust spacing by one stitch if needed for your yarn.

1. Rnd 19: (sc 6, dec) x6 (40)
2. Rnd 20: sc around (40)
3. Rnd 21: (sc 5, dec) x6 (34)
4. Rnd 22: sc around (34)
5. Rnd 23: (sc 4, dec) x6 (28)
6. Rnd 24: (sc 3, dec) x6 (22)

Stuff firmly, shaping the face so the cheeks are rounded and the muzzle area is slightly raised. Add a little extra stuffing behind the face to prevent the embroidery from sinking.

1. Rnd 25: (sc 2, dec) x6 (16)
2. Rnd 26: (sc 1, dec) x6 (10)
3. Rnd 27: dec x5 (5)
4. Fasten off, close opening, weave in ends.

Ears (Make 2)

Ears are long and floppy, hanging beside the head and tucked slightly under the hat brim. Keep them lightly stuffed only at the base for a soft drape.

1. Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6)
2. Rnd 2: (sc 1, inc) x3 (9)
3. Rnd 3: (sc 2, inc) x3 (12)
4. Rnd 4–6: sc around (12)
5. Rnd 7: (sc 3, inc) x3 (15)
6. Rnd 8–18: sc around (15)
7. Rnd 19: (sc 3, dec) x3 (12)
8. Rnd 20–28: sc around (12)
9. Rnd 29: (sc 2, dec) x3 (9)
10. Rnd 30–34: sc around (9)

Flatten the last opening and sc through both layers to close (or fasten off and stitch closed). Leave a long tail for sewing. Add a tiny pinch of stuffing at the top 1 inch only.

Body (Torso)

The body is a stable oval cylinder so the bunny stands. Work from bottom up. Stuff firmly, especially the lower belly, to support standing in sandals.

1. Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc x6 (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc 1, inc) x6 (18)
4. Rnd 4: (sc 2, inc) x6 (24)
5. Rnd 5: (sc 3, inc) x6 (30)
6. Rnd 6: (sc 4, inc) x6 (36)
7. Rnd 7–12: sc around (36)

Create a subtle waist so the dress sits neatly. Keep shaping gentle.

1. Rnd 13: (sc 10, dec) x3 (33)
2. Rnd 14–16: sc around (33)
3. Rnd 17: (sc 9, dec) x3 (30)
4. Rnd 18–20: sc around (30)

Build the upper torso where the kimono jacket overlaps. Increase slightly for a soft chest.

1. Rnd 21: (sc 4, inc) x6 (36)
2. Rnd 22–25: sc around (36)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff firmly. Leave the top open for joining to the head.

1. Rnd 26: (sc 4, dec) x6 (30)
2. Rnd 27: sc around (30)
3. Rnd 28: (sc 3, dec) x6 (24)
4. Rnd 29: sc around (24)
5. Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing to the head.

Arms (Make 2)

Arms are simple rounded tubes. They sit slightly forward under the jacket sleeves. Stuff lightly so they can angle naturally.

1. Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6)
2. Rnd 2: (sc 1, inc) x3 (9)
3. Rnd 3–5: sc around (9)
4. Rnd 6: (sc 1, dec) x3 (6)
5. Rnd 7–18: sc around (6)

Stuff lightly. Flatten top and close with sc through both layers or stitch closed. Leave tail for sewing.

Legs (Make 2)

Legs are straight and sturdy. Shoes will cover the feet, so legs can be simple cylinders with a slightly wider ankle.

1. Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc x6 (12)
3. Rnd 3–4: sc around (12)
4. Rnd 5: (sc 2, dec) x3 (9)
5. Rnd 6–20: sc around (9)

Stuff firmly. Flatten the top and close. Leave tail for sewing to body.

Neck Join (Head to Body)

Before sewing, check that the head sits centered. The bunny in the image has a slightly large head relative to the body for a cute look.

• Pin head to body opening and check angle from the front.
• Sew with small whip stitches around the opening.
• Add extra stuffing at the neck seam if needed.

Facial Features

Nose and Mouth (Pink + Beige)

The image shows a tiny pink nose and a short vertical mouth line. Keep the expression soft and neutral.

• Embroider a small horizontal pink nose centered between the eyes, about 2 rounds above the lowest muzzle curve.
• Stitch one short vertical line downward in beige or slightly darker tan for the mouth.
• If desired, add a tiny second stitch at the bottom to suggest a subtle “T” shape.

Optional Blush

Use a tiny amount of pink yarn or soft blush powder on the cheeks. Keep it extremely light for a clean, modern look.

Cream Dress (Color B)

Dress Bodice (Top)

The dress is sleeveless and sits under the kimono jacket. The skirt flares gently and ends with hibiscus flowers around the hem.

Work top-down so you can fit it on the bunny as you go.

1. Rnd 1: With B, ch 36, join with sl st (36)
2. Rnd 2: sc around (36)
3. Rnd 3: (sc 5, inc) x6 (42)
4. Rnd 4–6: sc around (42)

Create armholes by skipping stitches and chaining. Adjust by 1–2 stitches if needed for your bunny’s chest.

1. Rnd 7: sc 8, ch 6, skip 6, sc 15, ch 6, skip 6, sc 7 (42 total including chains)
2. Rnd 8: sc around, placing sc into each chain (42)
3. Rnd 9–10: sc around (42)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Dress Skirt (Flare)

Increase evenly to create a soft A-line. The skirt in the image is full but not ruffled.

1. Rnd 11: (sc 6, inc) x6 (48)
2. Rnd 12: sc around (48)
3. Rnd 13: (sc 7, inc) x6 (54)
4. Rnd 14: sc around (54)
5. Rnd 15: (sc 8, inc) x6 (60)
6. Rnd 16–19: sc around (60)

Make a clean lower edge to support the flower applique line.

1. Rnd 20: sc in blo around (60)
2. Rnd 21: sc around (60)
3. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Dress Hibiscus Flower Hem (Make 5)

The dress has large coral hibiscus flowers spaced around the hem. Each flower has 5 broad petals and a pale yellow stamen. Make 5 flowers to match the photo’s balanced ring of blooms.

Hibiscus Petal Flower (Color C)

1. MR, ch 1, work 10 sc into ring, join with sl st (10)
2. Rnd 2: (ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next st, hdc in next st, sl st in next st) repeat 5 times to form 5 petals.

1. With pale yellow (or cream), ch 8.
2. In 2nd ch from hook: sl st, then sl st in next 6 ch (forms a smooth cord).
3. Optional tip: with yellow, make 2–3 tiny wraps at the end and knot to mimic pollen.
4. Fasten off. Sew stamen to flower center so it extends outward like the image.

Attach Flowers to Skirt Hem

• Put the dress on the bunny and mark the front center.
• Sew one hibiscus at front center, then two on each side, evenly spaced.
• Keep the flowers sitting just above the bottom ridge line.

Coral Kimono Jacket (Color C)

Kimono Body (Worked Flat)

The jacket is a short, open-front kimono style with slightly wide sleeves. It ends at the waist and overlaps gently at the front. The cuffs have small floral accents in the image.

1. With C, ch 44.
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (43)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across (43)

2. Row 12: ch 1, turn, sc across, placing sc into each chain (59)
3. Row 13–16: ch 1, turn, sc across (59)

Create sleeve openings by folding sides in and sewing short underarm seams.

• Fold jacket so the sleeves align.
• Whip stitch each underarm seam from cuff inward about 2–2.5 in (5–6.5 cm).
• Leave the rest open as the body.

Front Edge and Neck Trim

The jacket has a clean front edge. Add a simple single crochet border all around the opening and neckline.

1. With RS facing, join C at lower front edge.
2. Sc evenly up the front, around neck, and down the other front edge.
3. At corners, work 3 sc in the corner stitch for a smooth turn.
4. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Assembly Order for the Main Bunny

Attach Arms and Legs

• Sew legs to the lower body, slightly forward so the bunny stands.
• Sew arms to the upper sides, angled slightly forward.

Attach Ears

• Sew ears to the head around the upper side area so they hang down.
• Make sure both ears are the same length and sit evenly.

Dress and Style

• Put on the cream dress first.
• Slide on sandals and adjust crisscross straps.
• Wrap the coral kimono jacket over the dress.
• Place the shell bag strap across the chest, bag resting at the front side.
• Put on the sunhat and position hibiscus flower on the right side (as shown).

Accessory Placement

• Place the mini cow beside the bunny.
• Set the drink cup near the cow’s feet.
• Place the starfish in front for a beach-themed scene.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the eyes are level and that the small pink nose sits centered. Stitch the mouth line straight down for a calm expression. Adjust the hat brim so it sits flat and slightly shadows the forehead. Shape hibiscus petals with your fingers so they look open and soft.

Care Notes

Handle the hibiscus appliques gently so petals keep their shape. Keep the set away from direct sunlight to prevent coral fading. If used as decor, dust lightly with a clean makeup brush and avoid snagging the bag strap on flowers.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is firmly stuffed and securely attached.
• Ears hang evenly and tuck under the hat brim.
• Dress hem flowers are evenly spaced and securely sewn.
• Kimono sleeves sit at the same height, cuff blooms matched.
• Hat brim lies flat, band is smooth, hibiscus is firmly attached.
• Sandals fit snugly with neat crisscross straps.
• Shell bag strap length looks correct across the body.
• Mini cow stands well and accessories are complete.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean only using cool water and a tiny amount of gentle soap. Blot with a towel and reshape the hat brim and flower petals while damp. Air dry completely. Store in a breathable cotton bag with tissue support under the hat brim and between flower layers so appliques do not flatten. Avoid compressing the doll in storage.
