Saxifraga Honey-Trim Bunny – Crochet

This sweet crochet bunny set blends a collectible doll look with soft country styling, making it ideal for shoppers searching for a handmade bunny doll, amigurumi rabbit gift, spring nursery decor, or cottagecore crochet plush. The full set includes the bunny, pig friend, hat, cardigan, dress, shoes, backpack, bouquet, spoon, and folded cloth.

With its warm honey palette, tiny flower trims, and matching accessories, this design also suits readers looking for an heirloom-style stuffed animal, artisan crochet doll, farmer’s market display piece, or handmade Easter bunny keepsake. Every part is shaped to match the proportions and gentle mood of the photographed set.

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

Overview

This pattern creates a standing bunny doll with long floppy ears, a rounded face, a bucket-style hat, a honey-colored dress with flower decoration, a cream cardigan, and flat strap shoes.

You will also make a small pig companion wearing a matching outfit, plus a mini backpack, a tiny spoon, a folded cloth, and a small bouquet.

Finished size will vary with yarn and tension. Using light worsted cotton and a 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm hook, the bunny is about 9.5 to 10.5 inches tall from feet to top of hat, and the pig is about 4.5 to 5 inches tall.

Materials

• Main bunny skin: light beige
• Cardigan, hat, collar, cloth, bouquet base: warm cream or soft ivory
• Dress, backpack, pig shorts: honey mustard
• Pig skin: pale pink
• Pig ears and hooves: medium cocoa brown
• Flower centers: golden yellow
• Leaves and stems: muted green
• Optional blush: pink pastel or blush powder
• Hooks: 2.25 mm for small details, 2.5 mm for most pieces
• Safety eyes: 8 mm for bunny, 5 mm or 6 mm for pig

Yarn Notes

Use smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn with firm stitch definition. The photographed set shows neat, dense stitches with very little fuzz, so cotton gives the closest result.

Keep your tension tight enough that stuffing does not show through. If your rounds look open, go down one hook size.

4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
10. Rnd 10: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
11. Rnd 11-20: sc around. 60

📌Thank you for reading the article

Place the 8 mm eyes between rnds 14 and 15 with 10 visible stitches between them. The face in the image is wide, soft, and calm, so do not place the eyes too high or too close together.

1. Rnd 21: (8 sc, dec) x 6. 54
2. Rnd 22: (7 sc, dec) x 6. 48
3. Rnd 23: (6 sc, dec) x 6. 42
4. Rnd 24: (5 sc, dec) x 6. 36

Start stuffing firmly, shaping the cheeks so the lower face remains round but not pointed.

1. Rnd 25: (4 sc, dec) x 6. 30
2. Rnd 26: (3 sc, dec) x 6. 24
3. Rnd 27: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18

Finish stuffing. Do not close yet if you prefer to sew the neck opening directly onto the body later.

Bunny Nose and Face Shaping

With pink embroidery floss, make a tiny horizontal nose centered between rnds 15 and 16. It should be very short, delicate, and understated.

The photographed face has gentle cheek fullness. Add very light sculpting if desired by threading beige yarn from the lower head to slightly under each eye, pulling only enough to soften the eye area.

Apply a small amount of blush low on each cheek.

Bunny Ears Make 2

Using light beige:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
4. Rnd 4-6: sc around. 18
5. Rnd 7: (4 sc, dec) x 3. 15
6. Rnd 8-14: sc around. 15
7. Rnd 15: (3 sc, dec) x 3. 12
8. Rnd 16-24: sc around. 12

Flatten the opening. Do not stuff the lower two-thirds. Add only a touch of stuffing near the top third so the ears drape naturally.

Sew the ears to the head between rnds 8 and 10, spaced so they fall straight down at the sides. They should be mostly hidden under the hat brim, with the lower halves visible.

Bunny Body

Using honey mustard for the upper torso:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. 24
5. Rnd 5-8: sc around. 24

The torso in the image is compact and slightly wider at the skirt join, not long or narrow.

1. Rnd 9: BLO sc around. 24
2. Rnd 10-12: sc around. 24
3. Rnd 13: (2 sc, dec) x 6. 18
4. Rnd 14-16: sc around. 18

Stuff firmly. Leave a long tail for sewing the head to the body. The neck should be centered and stable.

Bunny Legs Make 2

Start with light beige:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18
4. Rnd 4-5: sc around. 18
5. Rnd 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. 14
6. Rnd 7: sc around. 14
7. Rnd 8: 4 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. 12
8. Rnd 9-18: sc around. 12

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg moderately. Flatten the top and sew to the underside of the body. Position both legs so they stand straight and close together, matching the narrow stance in the image.

Bunny Arms Make 2

Using light beige:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. 9
3. Rnd 3-5: sc around. 9
4. Rnd 6: dec, 7 sc. 8
5. Rnd 7-15: sc around. 8

Add a little stuffing to the hand and lower arm only. Flatten the top and sew to the sides of the body just under the head. Angle the arms slightly downward so they rest close to the dress and cardigan.

Bunny Dress Bodice and Skirt

This dress is worked as a separate garment. It has a neat bodice, a slightly wavy joining line, a fuller skirt, and decorative flowers sewn near the hem.

Bodice

Using honey mustard, chain enough to fit snugly around the upper torso. For the stated size, ch 26, join carefully without twisting.

1. Rnd 1-4: sc around. 26
2. Rnd 5: (12 sc, inc) x 2. 28
3. Rnd 6: sc around. 28

Check the fit on the body. It should sit close without stretching hard.

Waist Frill Join

1. Rnd 7: (3 sc, inc) around. 35
2. Rnd 8: In FLO, (4 sc, inc) around. 42

This creates the gently ruffled line visible where the upper dress meets the skirt.

Skirt

1. Rnd 9-11: sc around. 42
2. Rnd 12: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
3. Rnd 13-16: sc around. 48
4. Rnd 17: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
5. Rnd 18-22: sc around. 54

The skirt should flare softly, not widely. Steam block lightly if needed so the shape settles into a bell silhouette.

Scalloped Lower Edge

For the lower edge, work this around:

• sl st in next st
• skip 1 st
• 5 dc in next st
• skip 1 st
• sl st in next st

Repeat around. This gives the soft scalloped finish that matches the photographed hem.

Underskirt Lace

Using cream, work a narrow trim separately or directly onto the inside lower edge so a little cream lace peeks below the skirt.

• Ch 54 or to fit lower hem length lightly.
• Work 1 row of sc.
• Next row: (sl st, ch 2, sl st) into every second stitch to create a tiny picot-like edging.

Sew this trim to the inside of the dress so only a small amount shows below the mustard hem.

Flower Motifs for Bunny Dress

Make 6 small white flowers for the front lower skirt and 1 smaller flower cluster for the bodice.

Small Daisy Petal Unit

Using white:

• In MR, repeat 5 times: ch 3, sl st in ring.
• Pull ring closed and fasten off.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Using yellow, embroider or sew a small center. Make petals compact. The flowers in the image are tiny and neat, not puffy.

Leaves

Using green:

• Ch 4.
• Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, sl st.

Make 2 tiny leaves for each main cluster.

Arrange the Bunny Flowers

• Skirt hem: place 6 flower groups across the front and sides, evenly spaced.
• Each group: 3 to 5 white flowers with 1 or 2 green leaves.
• Bodice cluster: place one smaller group on the bunny’s right side near the waistline.

Sew these by hand after the dress is fitted to the doll.

Bunny Cardigan

The cardigan is cream, slightly cropped, open at the front, with straight sleeves and a soft drape. It also has a wide lace collar sitting over the shoulders.

Back and Front Panels

Using cream, ch 31.

1. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 30. Ch 1, turn.
2. Row 2-8: sc across. Ch 1, turn.

Mark as follows: 7 stitches front, 16 stitches back, 7 stitches front, with 1 joining space visually at each side edge.

Work one more row shaping the fronts slightly lower if desired by skipping the outermost stitch once on each front edge. This subtle shaping helps the cardigan sit open and relaxed.

Sleeves Make 2

Ch 14.

1. Row 1: sc 13. Ch 1, turn.
2. Row 2-10: sc 13. Ch 1, turn.

Fold and seam each sleeve into a tube. Sew to the armholes. The sleeves should look roomy and slightly oversized, ending near the wrists.

Button Band Texture

Work a row of sc evenly around the front opening and lower edge. Add one extra row along the front bands if you want a slightly thicker finished edge like the image shows.

Lace Collar

Using cream, ch 26.

1. Row 1: sc across. Ch 1, turn.
2. Row 2: (sc, ch 2, skip 1) across. Ch 1, turn.
3. Row 3: In each ch-2 space, work (sc, ch 2, sc). Turn.
4. Row 4: Repeat row 3.

Fasten off and make a second matching collar panel. Sew one to each upper front edge so they spread over the shoulders, framing the neck just like the photographed piece.

Bunny Shoes Make 2

Using honey mustard:

1. Rnd 1: ch 7. Starting in second ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 4, inc in last. 14
2. Rnd 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20
3. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. 20
4. Rnd 4-5: sc around. 20
5. Rnd 6: 5 sc, 5 dec, 5 sc. 15
6. Rnd 7: sc around. 15

Flatten the heel slightly. Make a separate strap by chaining 10 to 12 and working back with sl st or sc. Sew the strap across the top opening so it looks like a Mary Jane shoe.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Sew the shoes onto the feet or make them removable if your tension allows. The image shows a snug fit, so sewn-on shoes usually look best.

Bunny Hat

This hat is a soft cloche or bucket shape with a rounded crown and a downturned brim. It sits low over the head and partly covers the ear bases.

Using cream:

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18

5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. 30
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. 36
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. 42
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. 48
9. Rnd 9-14: sc around. 48
10. Rnd 15: BLO sc around. 48
11. Rnd 16: (7 sc, inc) x 6. 54
12. Rnd 17: sc around. 54
13. Rnd 18: (8 sc, inc) x 6. 60
14. Rnd 19-20: sc around. 60

If you want a softer downward curve, add one more plain round. If the brim becomes too wide, stop early. The image shows a moderate brim, not a dramatic sunhat.

Hat Band

Using honey mustard, chain long enough to wrap once around the hat just above the brim break. Work 1 row of sl st or sc, then sew neatly in place.

Hat Flower Cluster

Make one small decorative cluster placed on the bunny’s right side.

• 2 or 3 tiny white flowers
• 1 mustard flower or center accent
• 2 green leaves

Sew the cluster just above the band. Keep it delicate and compact.

Pig Shorts

Using honey mustard:

Ch 18 and join.

1. Rnd 1-3: sc around. 18
2. Divide for two leg openings and add a few stitches if needed so the shorts fit over the body.

Alternatively, make a simple wraparound rectangle and seam it onto the pig. Keep the shorts short and neat, ending above the knees.

Pig Jacket

Using cream, work a tiny open-front jacket just like the bunny cardigan but without the lace collar.

1. Ch 18.
2. Row 1-6: sc across, turning each row.
3. Make 2 sleeves: ch 8, rows of sc for 5 rows, seam into tubes.

2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. 18

Ch 12.

1. Row 1-5: sc 11, turn.

• Make 1 drawstring and tack the ends at center front.

The backpack in the image is soft, compact, and rectangular with a rounded flap.

Spoon

Using honey mustard or light wood brown:

• Ch 9.
• Work sl st back for the handle.
• At one end, make 4 sc into a tiny ring or small oval to form the spoon bowl.

Lightly shape with your fingers. Keep it very tiny and simple.

Sew or tie the bouquet so it stays compact and slightly domed.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the bunny legs to the body.
2. Sew the bunny head to the body.
3. Sew the bunny arms in place.
4. Attach the bunny ears.
5. Dress the bunny in the dress.
6. Sew on the floral dress trims.
7. Put on the cardigan.
8. Add the shoes.
9. Place and sew the hat if desired.
10. Assemble the pig in the same order: legs, body, head, ears, arms, clothing, hat.
11. Finish the accessories.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the bunny’s head sits straight and slightly forward, not tilted back. The face should look calm and sweet, with the eyes low enough to keep the forehead broad.

Trim any visible knots and hide yarn tails deeply inside the pieces. Add a soft blush to the bunny cheeks and, if desired, a tiny blush tint on the pig snout.

Position the hat low so it frames the eyes and covers the top ear seams. Arrange the cardigan collar evenly on both sides.

Care Notes

• Spot clean whenever possible.
• Handle the flower appliqués and hat decoration gently.
• Keep the set away from rough Velcro, pet claws, and sharp jewelry.
• If displayed upright, support the doll from behind for long-term shelf styling.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are both bunny ears placed at the same height?
• Does the hat sit low and round with a soft brim?
• Is the dress fitted at the bodice and gently flared below?
• Are the flower clusters balanced across the skirt front?
• Do the cardigan fronts hang open evenly?
• Are the pig jacket and shorts proportionate to the small body?
• Do the backpack, bouquet, spoon, and folded cloth all look scaled to the dolls?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For light dust, use a clean dry makeup brush or a cool hair dryer on very low airflow. For spots, dab gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then blot with a dry towel.

Do not soak the dolls unless absolutely necessary, especially after blush and embroidery details are added. If washing is needed, hand wash carefully in cool water and reshape while damp.

Lay flat to dry on a towel, away from direct sunlight. Store the set in a breathable box or on a clean shelf where the hat brim and flower appliqués will not be crushed.

Closing Notes

This design depends on gentle shaping, balanced proportions, and patient finishing. The charm comes from the harmony between the bunny, the pig, and the tiny matching accessories.

Take your time with placement, especially the eyes, ears, hat, cardigan collar, and floral trims. Those small details are what bring the photographed look to life.
