Camellia Velvet Tea-Salon Caravan – Crochet.

This Camellia Velvet Tea-Salon Caravan is a detailed miniature display with a cozy café vibe, complete with pastries, tea service, and two dressed-up friends. If you like shopping for amigurumi yarn packs, mini dollhouse accessories, and a good crochet hook set, this build is a satisfying project.

You’ll create a caravan shell with windows and scalloped awning, then fill it with tiny café props: a pastry case, shelves, jars, bunting beads, and outdoor seating. If you enjoy shopping for cotton yarn, fiberfill, doll clothes notions, and miniature décor, you’ll love styling every corner.

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

Project Overview

This design is worked in separate components: the caravan body, roof and awning, window panels with curtains, interior counter and pastry display, wall shelving, hanging garland, the “Tea Salon” sign, two character dolls (bear and bunny), and outdoor items (table, chairs, cart, fences, and flower basket bicycle accent).

To match the photo, keep the overall palette soft and warm: cream/ivory for the caravan top, deep red for the lower body band, tan/beige for interior wood tones, white for curtains and fences, and muted pastels for macarons and flowers. Use firm stuffing and hidden supports where noted.

Skill Level

Intermediate (patient beginners can follow with careful counting)
Techniques: shaping with increases/decreases, working in joined rounds, surface slip stitch, simple embroidery, small-scale assembly

Finished Size (Approx.)

Caravan: 10–11 in (25–28 cm) long, 6–7 in (15–18 cm) tall, 4–5 in (10–13 cm) deep (scale depends on yarn and hook)
Bear: 5–6 in (13–15 cm) tall
Bunny: 4–5 in (10–13 cm) tall

Materials

Use smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn for crisp stitch definition. For the caravan shell, sport/DK cotton works best. For micro props, fine crochet cotton or light sport is recommended. Substitute colors as needed, but keep contrast similar to the photo.

Yarn (main caravan): DK or sport cotton in Cream/Ivory, Deep Red, Beige/Tan, Warm Brown, White
Yarn (mini props and food): light sport or fine cotton in Pastel Pink, Mint, Lavender, Soft Yellow, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Gray, Rose Red, Leaf Green
Fiberfill for dolls and small accents
Plastic canvas or thin craft foam sheets for structure (caravan walls, roof, pastry case frame)
Clear plastic sheet (packaging acetate) for pastry display “glass”
Wire (optional) for chair legs and cart handle support
Embroidery floss (black, pink, beige) for facial details and tiny labels
Small beads or wooden beads (optional) for garland look; you can crochet beads instead
Small buttons/snaps for doll clothing (optional)
Stitch markers, tapestry needle, scissors, pins
Safety eyes (6–8 mm for bear; 5–6 mm for bunny) or embroider eyes for a softer look

Hooks and When to Use Them

Different details require different hook sizes so they hold shape at miniature scale. If your stitches are naturally tight, you may go up one size. If loose, go down one size. Aim for firm fabric with minimal gaps.

3.0 mm (or 3.25 mm): Caravan outer shell panels, roof, awning, large structural pieces
2.5 mm: Interior furniture, pastry case body, shelves, sign frame, medium accessories
2.0 mm: Tiny cups, jars, pastries, flowers, macarons, small trim details
1.5–1.75 mm (optional): Extra-fine lace edging for curtains and delicate scallops if you want ultra-mini detail

Stitch Abbreviations (US Terms)

ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)
dec = decrease (single crochet 2 together)
blo = back loop only
flo = front loop only
st(s) = stitch(es)
rnd = round
row = row

Gauge

Gauge is not critical, but proportions are. Keep caravan walls firm. If your fabric bends easily, use a smaller hook or add a second layer of plastic canvas inside. For dolls, the stitches should be tight enough that stuffing does not show through.

Important Construction Notes

To match the photo precisely, the caravan is a “box shell” with an open serving side. The roof has a soft curve and a scalloped awning trim at the front edge. Two top windows have white curtains. The lower serving window opening is wide, showing the interior counter and wall shelves.

Work most large pieces as flat panels, then crochet/whip-stitch them around plastic canvas inserts for crisp edges. Use mattress stitch for neat seams. Keep the lower band in deep red around the caravan, including the rounded front corner visible in the photo.

Caravan Shell (Use 3.0 mm Hook, C1 and C2)

1) Base Floor Panel

The floor is a firm rectangle that supports everything. Use C3 (beige) or a neutral light tan. Make it slightly longer than the roof so the open “patio” look reads correctly when displayed.

With C3, ch 41 (adjust length if you want a larger caravan).
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (40). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–22: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Edging: sc evenly around all sides, placing 3 sc in each corner st. Fasten off.

Cut a matching plastic canvas rectangle slightly smaller than the crochet piece (about 1–2 stitches in from each edge). Insert it later when attaching the walls, so the floor stays flat.

2) Back Wall Panel (Full Height)

The back wall is mostly solid cream (C1) with a deep red band at the bottom. Keep the band height about 25–30% of the wall height, matching the photo’s strong red base.

With C2, ch 41.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across (40). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–7: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Change to C1.
Rows 8–28: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off, leave long tail for sewing.

Cut plastic canvas to match the back wall size. This panel supports the shelves and radio detail later, so keep it firm and straight.

3) Front Wall Panel (Partial, With Open Serving Side)

The caravan front/serving side in the photo is open like a shop window. We’ll create two front corner pillars plus a lower half-wall in deep red and cream, leaving a wide opening for the tea counter display.

Make three pieces: left pillar, right pillar, and a lower front strip that sits under the opening.

3a) Left Pillar

With C2, ch 9.
Row 1: sc across (8). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–7: sc across (8). ch 1, turn.
Change to C1.
Rows 8–28: sc across (8). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off.

3b) Right Pillar

Repeat Left Pillar exactly. Keep your stitch count identical so the roof sits evenly.

3c) Lower Front Strip

With C2, ch 41.
Row 1: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–7: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Change to C1.
Rows 8–11: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off.

This strip becomes the “counter edge” beneath the opening. In the photo, the lower body is red and the inside lip is cream; this piece helps capture that layered look.

4) Side Wall Panel (Closed Side)

One side is closed with a rounded corner look. Make a solid panel with the red band at the bottom, like the back wall but slightly narrower.

With C2, ch 29.
Row 1: sc across (28). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–7: sc across (28). ch 1, turn.
Change to C1.
Rows 8–28: sc across (28). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off.

5) Inner Side “Ceiling Lip” for the Open Window

To make the opening look finished, add a thin inner lip under the roof edge. This also gives a place to attach the garland and top shelf line.

With C1, ch 41.
Row 1: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–3: sc across (40). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off.

6) Assemble Shell Walls to Floor

Insert plastic canvas into the floor and back wall now. Pin the back wall to the back edge of the floor. Whip stitch or mattress stitch through the stitches only, keeping seams neat on the outside.

Sew back wall to floor along the entire back edge.
Sew closed side wall to one short side of the floor.
Sew left and right pillars to the other short side, leaving the center open.
Sew the lower front strip to the front edge of the floor (align it so the opening sits above it).

Reinforce corners with an extra pass of stitching. The caravan should now stand as a box with one open side. If it bows, add thin cardboard behind plastic canvas, then close the seam again.

Roof and Awning (Use 3.0 mm Hook, C1)

7) Roof Top Panel

The roof in the photo is a soft curved rectangle with a scalloped trim at the front edge. We’ll crochet a panel, then lightly curve it over the walls. Plastic canvas can be used in strips, not full coverage, to allow the curve.

With C1, ch 43.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across (42). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–18: sc across (42). ch 1, turn.
Do not fasten off yet if you want to add trim directly; otherwise fasten off and rejoin later.

Cut two plastic canvas strips about 1.5 in (4 cm) wide and the length of the roof. These strips go under the roof along the side edges to keep them straight, while the center remains flexible for the curve.

8) Roof Side Skirt (Optional for a thicker edge)

If you want the roof edge to look thicker, crochet a narrow strip and sew it around the roof perimeter. This adds a finished “cap” like in the photo’s clean edge.

With C1, ch 43.
Row 1: sc across (42). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–4: sc across (42). ch 1, turn.
Fasten off.

9) Scalloped Awning Trim (Front Edge)

The photo shows a delicate scallop along the front roof edge. Use the same yarn with the 3.0 mm hook for scale, or switch to 2.5 mm for a tighter lace look.

Join C1 at one front corner of the roof edge.
Work (sl st, ch 1) evenly across to set your spacing.
Scallops: *skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st* repeat across.
At the end, sl st to finish, fasten off.

If your roof stitch count doesn’t divide perfectly, adjust by skipping an extra stitch once, so scallops stay even and attractive.

10) Attach Roof to Caravan

Pin the roof on top of the walls. Curve it slightly so it arches from side to side. Stitch the roof down along the back and closed side edges, then along the front pillars. Leave the open serving side front edge aligned to show the scalloped trim clearly.

Sew the small inner ceiling lip (from Step 5) under the roof along the open serving side. This creates the clean inside edge visible above the bear and shelves.

Top Windows and Curtains (Use 2.5 mm Hook, C1 and C4)

11) Window Frames (Make 2)

The top story has two window openings with white curtains. We’ll crochet a frame rectangle and stitch it to the cream wall panel. If your wall panel is already assembled, place windows evenly across the upper area as seen in the photo.

With C1 and 2.5 mm hook, ch 14.
Row 1: sc across (13). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–10: sc across (13). ch 1, turn.
Edging: sc around, 3 sc in corners. Fasten off.

To create an opening, do not cut the wall. Instead, stitch the window frame on top, then stitch curtains behind the opening area. The illusion matches the photo’s framed inset look.

12) Curtains (Make 4 Panels: 2 per window)

The curtains are sheer-looking. Use C4 (white) with a 2.0 mm hook and work with looser stitches. Add tiny open spaces to mimic lace.

With C4 and 2.0 mm hook, ch 10.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across (9). ch 1, turn.
Row 2: sc 2, ch 1, skip 1, sc 4, ch 1, skip 1, sc 2 (9 sc plus spaces). ch 1, turn.
Rows 3–14: repeat Row 2 for a lacy column effect.
Final row: sc across, working sc into ch spaces. Fasten off.

Fold each curtain panel slightly and tack at the top corners so it drapes. Attach two panels behind each window frame, leaving a small center gap like the photo.

Interior Counter and Pastry Display (Use 2.5 mm Hook, C3 and C5)

13) Counter Base Shelf

The serving counter runs along the open side. In the photo, a pastry case sits left, and the bear stands center. Build a long counter platform first, then add the pastry case on top.

With C3 and 2.5 mm hook, ch 31.
Row 1: sc across (30). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–6: sc across (30). ch 1, turn.
Edging: sc around. Fasten off, leave tail.

Sew the counter platform to the interior along the open window edge, about 1.5 in (4 cm) above the floor, so it reads as a working counter under the opening.

14) Pastry Display Case Frame

The case is a rectangular box with a clear “glass” front. Crochet a sturdy frame in C5 (warm brown) with 2.5 mm hook, then insert clear plastic behind the front opening.

Front frame: With C5, ch 21.
Row 1: sc across (20). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–10: sc across (20). ch 1, turn.
Make a window opening: Row 11: sc 2, ch 16, skip 16, sc 2. ch 1, turn.
Row 12: sc 2, sc 16 into chain space, sc 2 (20). ch 1, turn.
Rows 13–14: sc across (20). Fasten off.

Make a back panel the same size but solid (Rows 1–14 all sc across). Make two side panels: ch 11, work 10 sc across for 14 rows. Make a top panel: ch 21, 20 sc across for 10 rows.

Cut a clear plastic rectangle to cover the front opening from the inside. Sew the box together around the plastic. Add a bottom shelf insert from plastic canvas so pastries sit neatly inside.

15) Pastry Trays (2 Shelves)

Inside the case, add two thin shelves. Use C3 with 2.0 mm hook so they stay delicate.

Ch 19 with C3.
Row 1: sc across (18). ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–3: sc across (18). Fasten off.

Sew shelves into the case: one about mid-height, one near the bottom. Keep them level so your mini cakes display nicely.

Tea Service and Food Minis (Use 2.0 mm Hook, Assorted Colors)

16) Teapot (Mint or Soft Green)

The photo shows a mint teapot on the counter. Work tight stitches so it holds shape. Stuff lightly and shape the spout firmly.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6).
Rnd 2: inc around (12).
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) around (18).
Rnd 4–6: sc around (18).

Rnd 9: (sc 3, dec) around (12).
Rnd 10: sc around (12).
Rnd 11: dec around (6). Fasten off, close.

Spout: ch 5, sc in 2nd ch and across (4). Row 2: dec, sc 1, dec (2). Fasten off and sew as a tiny cone on the side. Handle: ch 8, sl st back to form a loop, sew opposite spout. Lid: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2: (sc, inc) (9), fasten off, sew on top.

17) Cups and Saucers (Make 4–6)

Use C4 for cups and C3 for saucers. Keep them small and uniform. A stitch marker helps keep rounds even.

Cup: Rnd 1: 6 sc in ring (6). Rnd 2: inc (12). Rnd 3: sc around (12). Rnd 4: blo sc around (12). Rnd 5: sc around (12). Fasten off.

Handle: ch 4, sl st to first ch to form a loop, sew to cup side. Saucer: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2: inc (12), Rnd 3: (sc, inc) (18), fasten off. Stack a few cups for the café look.

18) Mini Jars on the Shelf

Make tiny jars in clear/neutral tones (use white or pale gray yarn). Add “jam” tops in rose or amber. These jars fill the wall shelves like in the photo.

Jar body: 6 sc in ring (6). Rnd 2: inc (12). Rnd 3–4: sc around (12). Rnd 5: (sc 2, dec) (9). Rnd 6: sc around (9). Fasten off, stuff lightly.

Lid: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2: (sc, inc) (9). Fasten off and sew on top. Make 10–14 jars in mixed “preserve” colors for a full shelf display.

19) Pastries (Cakes, Tarts, Cookies)

To match the case in the photo, vary shapes: round cakes with frosting, small tarts with a darker base, and cookies. Keep them bite-size, about 0.5–1 in wide depending on your scale.

Round Cake Base: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 (sc, inc) (18), Rnd 4 sc (18). Fasten off.
Frosting Ring: join cream, work (sl st, ch 1) around, then tiny picots: *sl st, ch 2, sl st in same st* repeat.
Tart: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 blo sc (12), Rnd 4 sc (12), fasten off; add “filling” circle in yellow/pink and sew in.
Cookie: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), fasten off; embroider chocolate chips.

Arrange pastries on the display shelves before final stitching, so you can glue or tack them in place securely and keep the composition looking like the photo.

Interior Wall Shelves and Back Wall Details (Use 2.5 mm Hook)

20) Wall Shelf Unit (Back Wall)

The back wall in the photo has multiple small cubbies holding jars and desserts. Create a simple shelf strip with “pegs” or small bowl shapes. You can keep it flatter for easy assembly.

The bunny holds pastel macarons. Make 3–5 macarons and a small flat tray. Use tight stitches so they look clean.

Tray (C3 or C4): ch 13, Row 1 sc 12, Rows 2–3 sc 12, fasten off. Add a tiny rim by surface stitching around the edge.
Macaron shell (make 2 halves): 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), fasten off. Make 2, sandwich a thin “filling” strip (ch 8, sc 7) between, stitch together.

Use pastel colors for shells and a contrasting filling stripe to make them pop like the photo. Stitch macarons onto the tray so they do not fall off when displayed.

Outdoor Furniture (Use 2.5 mm Hook, C5 and C4)

43) Café Table

The table is small and round with a thin pedestal. The photo includes a tiny teacup set on top. For extra stability, insert a small cardboard circle inside the tabletop.

Tabletop (C5): 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 (sc, inc) (18), Rnd 4 (sc 2, inc) (24), fasten off.

Pedestal: ch 10, sc 9 back down chain, fasten off. Base: 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), fasten off. Sew pedestal to tabletop center and to base center. Add a thin rim around tabletop with surface slip stitches.

44) Chairs (Make 2)

The chairs in the photo look like delicate café chairs. Crochet seats and backs, and optionally use wire for legs. Keep them light and airy.

Seat (C5): 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 (sc, inc) (18), fasten off.
Back ring: ch 18, sl st to form ring, then sc around the ring (18), fasten off.

Sew back ring to seat edge. For legs, stitch four narrow strips (ch 8, sc back) under the seat, or wrap yarn around thin wire to create firm legs. Add a small front crossbar if needed for stability.

Serving Cart (Use 2.5 mm Hook, C3 and C5)

45) Cart Shelf

The cart is a small rolling trolley with two shelves and a handle. Keep it rectangular and neat. Use plastic canvas inserts for flat shelves.

Top shelf (C3): ch 17, Row 1 sc 16, Rows 2–5 sc 16, fasten off.
Bottom shelf (C3): repeat top shelf.

Side supports: ch 9, sc 8 for 6 rows, make 4. Sew supports at corners between shelves. Handle: ch 12, sl st back, sew to one end. Wheels can be decorative circles (see next step).

46) Cart Wheels (Make 4, Gray)

6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 (sc, inc) (18), fasten off.

Embroider a tiny spoke star if desired. Sew wheels to cart base corners. If you want real rolling, attach wheels to a thin skewer axle; otherwise, stitched wheels look perfect for display.

Fence Pieces (Use 2.5 mm Hook, C4)

The photo shows short white picket fence segments in front. Make two or three segments to frame the caravan scene.

Ch 31. Row 1: sc 30. ch 1, turn.
Row 2: sc 30. ch 1, turn.
Pickets: *ch 3, sc in 2nd ch and next ch (2), sl st into next base st* repeat across.
Finish with a sc row along the bottom edge for firmness. Fasten off.

Block lightly so fence stands straighter. If you want it freestanding, stitch it to a thin felt strip base hidden underneath.

Flower Basket and Bicycle Accent (Use 2.0 mm Hook)

On the right side in the photo, there is a basket of flowers near a bicycle wheel. You can create the basket and flowers in yarn and set them beside a small decorative wheel, or crochet a simple wheel for a fully yarn build.

47) Basket (C5)

Rnd 1: 6 sc in ring (6).
Rnd 2: inc (12).
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) (18).
Rnd 4: blo sc (18).
Rnd 5–8: sc (18).
Rnd 9: (sc 2, dec) (12). Fasten off, shape open top.

Do not close the top. Add a rim: join yarn at top, sc around (18), fasten off. Stuff lightly so it holds shape but stays open.

48) Flowers (Roses and Small Blossoms)

Make mixed flowers in pink, rose red, and white with green leaves. Fill the basket densely, matching the photo’s lush floral cluster.

Mini rose: ch 14, work 2 dc in each chain across, fasten off, roll into a rose, stitch base.
Small blossom: make a ring, *ch 2, dc, ch 2, sl st* repeat 5 times.
Leaf: ch 6, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc; fasten off.

Stitch flowers into the basket in layers, hiding all ends inside. Add a few green leaf tips peeking out for realism.

Wheel and Caravan Tire Detail (Use 2.5 mm Hook)

49) Caravan Tire (Gray and Black)

The main caravan wheel is visible under the counter area. Crochet a thick tire circle and a lighter hub. Stitch it to the lower body on the closed side, centered like the photo.

Tire (dark): 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 (sc, inc) (18), Rnd 4 (sc 2, inc) (24), Rnd 5 (sc 3, inc) (30), fasten off.
Hub (gray): 6 sc in ring, Rnd 2 inc (12), Rnd 3 sc (12), fasten off.

Sew hub centered on tire. Add embroidered spoke lines. Stitch wheel firmly to the caravan lower side band, slightly toward the back as shown.

Placement Styling to Match the Photo

Before final stitching, place everything as a scene: pastry case on the left inside, counter items on top, shelves centered behind, the bear standing in the middle, and the bed/bench on the right interior. The bunny stands outside near the cart, with the café table and chairs to the left front.

Attach the “Tea Salon” sign to the right outer edge of the caravan opening.
Drape the garland across the top interior opening in a gentle curve.
Set fence segments in front to frame the display area.
Place the basket of flowers near the right side, with a wheel accent behind it.

Secure small items with a few stitches rather than glue whenever possible. Stitching holds better over time and stays within a yarn-craft look. For clear “glass,” the acetate sheet inside the pastry case gives the most accurate effect.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the caravan stands square, then sew the roof permanently and reinforce corners. Attach curtains behind the top windows and lightly tack their folds for a draped look. For faces, keep stitches tiny: a small pink nose and short smile for the bear, and minimal dot eyes for the bunny.

Care Notes

Display pieces away from direct sunlight to protect color. Dust gently with a soft brush. If items loosen, restitch with matching yarn rather than pulling tight, so shapes stay soft and proportional.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For spot cleaning, dab with cool water and a small amount of gentle soap, then blot dry. Avoid soaking the caravan shell because structured inserts can warp. For long-term storage, place everything in a box with tissue paper supports, keeping small pastries and cups in a separate compartment to prevent crushing.
