Bellflower Garden Party Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi bunny set is designed as a handmade bunny doll with a soft spring wardrobe, floral trim, and charming miniature accessories. It works beautifully as a collectible crochet doll, a thoughtful baby shower gift, or a sweet piece of nursery decor for anyone who loves delicate animal dolls.

The finished set includes the bunny, dress, cardigan, headpiece, shoes, handbag, bouquet, tiny teddy, lace cloth, and perfume bottle. The styling feels refined and gift-worthy, like a heirloom stuffed bunny or artisan crochet toy you might search for when shopping for a handmade bunny gift.

Size and Style Notes

The bunny in the photo is tall and slender, with a large rounded head, long floppy ears, narrow arms, straight legs, and a calm seated-doll proportion even when standing. The dress falls almost to the ankles, and the cardigan is cropped at the waist.

The entire look depends on tight, even stitches. Use a hook small enough that stuffing never shows through. Keep the body slim, the head smooth, and the accessories delicate. Most decorative flowers are small and lightly stuffed or unstuffed for a refined fabric-like finish.

General Construction Notes

• Work the head, body, arms, and legs in continuous rounds unless noted.
• Use invisible decreases for a smoother finish.
• Stuff firmly but not rock hard. The face should stay rounded, not stretched.
• The dress, cardigan, hat band, and some accessories are made separately, then sewn or tied in place.
• The flower garlands on the dress are three-dimensional and should not be replaced with flat embroidery if you want the same look.

Head

Using the main bunny color, start with a magic ring. The head is almost spherical, but slightly wider through the cheeks and gently flatter on the face. This shape gives the bunny its sweet, soft expression.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
2. Rnd 2: inc around = 12
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around = 18
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around = 24
5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around = 30
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around = 36
7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around = 42
8. Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around = 48
9. Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc around = 54
10. Rnd 10: 8 sc, inc around = 60
11. Rnd 11-20: sc around = 60
12. Rnd 21: 8 sc, dec around = 54
13. Rnd 22: 7 sc, dec around = 48
14. Rnd 23: 6 sc, dec around = 42
15. Rnd 24: 5 sc, dec around = 36

Insert the eyes between Rnds 15 and 16 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes should sit low enough to leave room for the cap-like headpiece above them, but high enough that the muzzle stays centered and gentle.

Stuff the head firmly. Continue shaping.

1. Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec around = 30
2. Rnd 26: 3 sc, dec around = 24
3. Rnd 27: 2 sc, dec around = 18
4. Rnd 28: 1 sc, dec around = 12

Do not finish off if you plan to join directly to the neck opening. If working separately, close neatly and leave a long tail.

Muzzle and Nose Sculpting

Embroider a small triangular nose in matching oatmeal thread or a slightly darker beige. Place it centered about two rounds below the eyes. Add a short vertical line down from the nose, then create a tiny split mouth with two short angled stitches.

For the soft nose ridge seen in the photo, take a few small horizontal wrapping stitches around the nose area before forming the mouth. Keep it delicate. The expression should stay minimal, not cartoonish.

Ears

Make 2 in the main bunny color. The ears are long, flat, and softly rounded at the tip. They are not heavily stuffed. Their length should reach below the jaw and close to the cardigan shoulder line when attached.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
2. Rnd 2: inc around = 12
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around = 18
4. Rnd 4-8: sc around = 18
5. Rnd 9: 7 sc, dec, 9 sc = 17
6. Rnd 10-14: sc around = 17
7. Rnd 15: 6 sc, dec, 8 sc = 16
8. Rnd 16-22: sc around = 16
9. Rnd 23: 5 sc, dec, 7 sc = 15
10. Rnd 24-30: sc around = 15

Flatten the open edge and crochet 7 sc across both layers to close, or leave open for sewing. The ears in the image hang softly rather than standing up, so avoid over-stiffening them.

Body

The body is slender and cylindrical, with a narrow neck and subtle lower torso width. It should look elegant under the dress rather than round or chunky.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
2. Rnd 2: inc around = 12
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around = 18
4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around = 24
5. Rnd 5-8: sc around = 24
6. Rnd 9: 3 sc, inc around = 30
7. Rnd 10-18: sc around = 30
8. Rnd 19: 3 sc, dec around = 24
9. Rnd 20-24: sc around = 24
10. Rnd 25: 2 sc, dec around = 18
11. Rnd 26-28: sc around = 18

Stuff the body firmly at the base and moderately through the chest. Leave the top slightly softer to help the head settle naturally. Finish off with a long tail for sewing if not joining directly.

Legs

Make 2. The legs are straight, narrow, and evenly stuffed. They emerge from beneath the dress without exaggerated shaping. The feet are simple and rounded, hidden partly by the shoes.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
2. Rnd 2: inc around = 12
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around = 18
4. Rnd 4-5: sc around = 18
5. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 3 sc = 16
6. Rnd 7-8: sc around = 16
7. Rnd 9: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec = 14
8. Rnd 10-22: sc around = 14

Stuff firmly, especially through the ankle area so the shoes keep their shape. Finish one leg. On the second leg, do not fasten off. Join the legs with 4 chains and continue around both legs and chains to form the lower body if you prefer a joined construction.

Arms

Make 2. The arms are slim and relaxed, reaching to about the hip. They are lightly curved and only lightly stuffed near the hand.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR
2. Rnd 2: inc around = 12
3. Rnd 3-5: sc around = 12
4. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec = 10
5. Rnd 7-18: sc around = 10

Add just a little stuffing to the hand and lower arm. Flatten the top and close with 5 sc across, or sew flat to the body later.

Joining the Bunny

Sew the head to the body with the neck centered and upright. Attach the ears slightly behind the side line of the head so they fall forward in a natural curve. Sew the arms level with the top of the torso.

Place the legs evenly so the bunny can sit straight. If you want extra stability, use a thread joint or a hidden pass-through stitch from one leg to the other through the body.

Dress

The dress is soft blush cream, sleeveless under the cardigan, and worked mainly in horizontal rows or rounds with a smooth simple texture. It fits close to the body and ends near the ankles. The lower edge is decorated with dimensional bellflower blossoms.

Dress Bodice

With blush cream yarn, chain enough to fit around the upper chest. Join carefully without twisting, or work in rows and seam at the back. A neat back seam is fine because the cardigan hides much of it.

1. Work 10 to 12 rounds of sc or hdc evenly for the bodice.
2. Keep the bodice snug but not tight.
3. Add a narrow green accent line at the waist by working one round in leaf green.
4. Continue in blush cream for the skirt.

Dress Skirt

The skirt falls straight with only very slight widening. Increase sparingly over the first few rounds after the waist so the silhouette stays narrow, matching the image.

1. Round 1 of skirt: increase evenly by 4 to 6 stitches
2. Next rounds: work straight in sc or hdc until the hem reaches just above the feet
3. Optional: add 2 to 4 more stitches over the final third if you want a softer drape

Do not make the skirt too full. The photo shows a tidy, column-like shape. Leave the hem plain for now; the flower trim is attached afterward.

Back Closure

If you worked the dress in rows, seam the back neatly. If desired, add two or three tiny snap points or sewn thread loops. The cardigan covers the upper back, so keep closures simple and flat.

Cardigan

The cardigan is cream, cropped, and slightly textured. It has long sleeves, a front opening, and tiny decorative button points. Small tulip motifs sit on each front panel.

Body of Cardigan

Work the cardigan in rows from the lower edge upward, or from the neckline downward if preferred. The important details are the cropped length, gentle shoulder slope, and slightly open front.

• Begin with a foundation chain that fits around the upper torso with front opening included.
• Work in rows using sc or hdc for a dense but flexible fabric.
• Split for two front panels, armholes, and back.
• Continue each section to shoulder height and seam shoulders.

The lower edge should end right at the waistline or slightly above it, as in the image. The front panels overlap only lightly. They should not fully meet edge to edge once the bunny is dressed.

Sleeves

Join yarn at each armhole and work sleeves downward in rounds. Keep them slim and straight with a tiny taper toward the wrist.

• Start with 16 to 18 stitches around the armhole
• Work straight for several rounds
• Decrease 1 or 2 times near the lower sleeve
• End at wrist length with a clean edge

Front Edging and Button Detail

Work a neat edging around the entire front opening and neckline using slip stitches or sc. Sew three tiny pearl-like dots on each side to mimic the elegant buttoned finish seen in the image.

Tulip Motifs on Cardigan

Embroider or crochet two tiny tulip motifs, one on each front panel near the lower edge. Use purple for the flower heads and green for the stem and leaves. Keep them small and upright.

Bellflower Blossom Trim

This trim defines the set. The blossoms appear around the dress hem and rise in a vertical cluster on the bunny’s right side. Each flower is a tiny bell shape in purple or ivory with green leaves and very small yellow centers where visible.

Mini Bellflower

Make many, about 18 to 26 depending on placement.

1. With flower color, ch 4 and join to form a ring
2. Into ring: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc
3. Repeat for 4 or 5 petals depending on fullness
4. Draw closed slightly to create a bell shape
5. Add a tiny yellow center knot inside if desired

For a more cupped shape, sew the side petals slightly inward. Make a mix of dusty purple, lavender, and ivory blossoms to match the image.

Leaves and Stems

• Leaves: ch 4, work back with sl st, sc, hdc, then rotate to other side if desired
• Stems: use green yarn and surface stitch, chain stems, or embroidered lines

Sew blossoms around the lower hem in alternating directions so they look like a floral garland rather than a border fringe. Add the vertical cluster beginning at the waist on the bunny’s right side and cascading downward.

Headpiece

The headpiece looks like a soft, shallow beret or folded hat band resting across the crown. It is cream and decorated on one side with clustered flowers and leaves.

Base Headpiece

1. Chain enough to fit around the top of the head loosely
2. Work several rows of sc to create a wide band
3. Join into a ring or sew into a soft oval cap shape
4. Fold the upper edge slightly to create the padded rolled look

Position it slightly angled, with the floral cluster on the bunny’s right side.

Floral Cluster for Headpiece

Make 4 to 5 flowers in ivory and purple, plus 4 to 6 leaves. Arrange them in a compact cluster. The flowers should rise upward rather than spread flat. Sew securely so the grouping stays dimensional.

Shoes

The shoes are cream Mary Jane style with a rounded toe and a single strap. They sit neatly over the feet and have a very clean shape.

1. Start with a small oval sole in cream
2. Work several rounds evenly around to build the side wall
3. Decrease across the toe for a rounded front
4. Work one strap from side to side across the instep
5. Add a tiny knot or bead on the strap if desired

Slip the shoes onto the feet and tack them in place with a few hidden stitches.

Handbag

The handbag is cream with purple and green floral decoration. It is soft, slightly triangular, and hangs from the bunny’s arm with a rounded handle.

1. Make two small rectangular or gently tapered panels in cream
2. Join sides and base, leaving top open
3. For the handle, chain a short loop and cover it with slip stitches or sc
4. Sew the handle to both top corners
5. Add one or two tiny floral motifs on the outer face

If you want the bag to hold shape, slip a tiny cardboard insert into the base before closing fully.

Bouquet

The bouquet includes several small ivory and purple blossoms tied with a cream wrap. Keep the stems narrow and the flower heads clustered tightly together.

• Make 5 to 7 miniature blossoms
• Attach each blossom to a green chain stem
• Gather stems together
• Wrap with cream yarn and sew to secure

The bouquet should look loose and hand-tied, not stiff like a cone arrangement.

Lace Cloth

This tiny folded cloth at the bunny’s side is cream and delicate. It resembles a handkerchief or mini shawl with a decorative border.

1. Chain a small square foundation
2. Work compact rows of sc
3. Add one edging round with picot-like points using ch 3 and sl st
4. Fold once for display

Perfume Bottle

The bottle is very small and simple, but it adds character to the scene. Crochet a tiny oval or cylindrical shape in pale amber. Add a cream label and a light top cap.

• Body: 6 sc in MR, expand to 10 or 12, work a few rounds
• Neck: decrease slightly for one round
• Cap: one tiny cream round
• Label: a small stitched rectangle on the front

Teddy Bear

The teddy is a small companion toy in beige, wearing brown shorts, a white chest panel, a pale blue jacket, and a tiny matching cap. Keep the bear much smaller than the bunny, roughly one-third of the bunny’s height.

Teddy Head

1. Make a small round head in beige
2. Insert tiny black eyes
3. Embroider a small brown nose and short mouth line

Teddy Ears

Make 2 tiny circles and sew to the top sides of the head.

Teddy Body and Legs

Work brown shorts and beige legs as one lower section if desired. Add a white center chest panel. The body should be squat and cute, not elongated.

Teddy Arms

Make two very small beige arms and sew them at the shoulder line.

Teddy Jacket

Work a blue open-front cardigan shape in rows, very simple and cropped. Sew lightly around the teddy body or leave removable if you prefer.

Teddy Cap

Make a tiny blue shallow cap and sew it centered on the head.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the dress onto the bunny or fasten it at the back. Add the cardigan over the dress, then place the headpiece at a soft angle. Stitch the shoes securely and slide the handbag onto one arm.

Use a few hidden stitches to place the bouquet near the hand if you want a permanent display. Check the face last. Make sure the eyes are level, the nose is centered, and the mouth remains tiny and calm.

Care Notes

• Handle the floral trim gently because the blossoms are small and dimensional.
• Display away from direct sunlight to preserve soft colors.
• If gifting to a child, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes.
• Small accessories are best attached or stored separately.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and firmly attached
• Ears even and hanging at matching angles
• Dress length reaching near the ankles
• Flower garland balanced around hem and side panel
• Cardigan front motifs placed evenly
• Headpiece tilted slightly with floral cluster on one side

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap when possible. Do not twist or wring the doll. For a deeper clean, hand wash gently in cool water, reshape while damp, and dry flat on a towel.

Store in a clean dry box or on a shelf away from moisture and dust. If the flowers flatten over time, steam lightly from a distance and reshape with your fingers once cool.
