This soft amigurumi bunny doll is designed with a calm moonlit palette, a rounded beret, a textured cream cardigan, a full taupe dress, and tiny lavender blossoms. It has the look of a premium handmade bunny doll, a collectible crochet rabbit plush, and a gentle nursery gift for shoppers who love heirloom-style toys.
The set also includes the small matching bunny companion, a crossbody bag, floral details, and a simple star accent. The finished design feels like a boutique amigurumi pattern for a stuffed bunny decor piece, baby shower gift, spring shelf display, or artisan handmade toy listing.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Materials
- Main bunny yarn: light worsted or DK cotton in warm ivory for head, ears, arms, legs, and shoes
- Dress yarn: light taupe or oatmeal beige cotton
- Cardigan yarn: soft cream or off-white cotton
- Beret yarn: pale mist lavender-gray cotton
- Flower yarn: pale lavender and a tiny amount of muted yellow or cream for flower centers if desired
- Bag yarn: matching taupe used for the dress
- Mini bunny yarn: the same shades in smaller amounts
- Hook sizes: 2.25 mm for the main doll, 1.75 mm or 2.00 mm for the mini bunny, and 2.50 mm if you crochet loosely
- Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
- Safety eyes: 8 mm for main bunny, 4 mm for mini bunny, or embroidered eyes if preferred
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch markers
- Small scissors
- Optional: very thin floral wire for shaping the beret flower petals, fabric glue for securing flower layers, and blush for cheeks
Finished Size
Using the yarn and hook sizes above, the main bunny measures about 10 to 11 inches tall from the top of the beret to the base of the shoes. The mini bunny measures about 4 inches tall. The size can vary slightly depending on tension and yarn thickness.
Gauge and Design Notes
This design is made to match the proportions in the photo: a large rounded head, short neck, slim torso under the dress, softly tapered arms, straight legs, long floppy ears, and a full skirt that widens near the hem. The cardigan sits short and open at the front.
The beret is intentionally oversized and slouches slightly to one side. The crossbody bag hangs low at the front right side of the body. The floral trim along the dress hem is light and scattered, not packed tightly. Keep the look soft, clean, and balanced.
- Work amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless the pattern says otherwise.
- Use a stitch marker at the start of each round.
- Stuff firmly but not hard. The face should stay smooth, not stretched.
- For the cleanest finish, invisible decrease is recommended.
- The main bunny is easiest to assemble when all clothing is completed before final facial shaping.

Main Bunny
Head
The head is the visual focus of this doll, so keep the stitches even and the stuffing smooth. The shape in the image is almost spherical, but slightly flatter at the face and gently narrower at the chin.
- R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
- R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
- R5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
- R6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
- R7: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
- R8: 6 sc, inc x 6. (48)
- R9: 7 sc, inc x 6. (54)
- R10-R19: sc around. (54)
- Place 8 mm eyes between R12 and R13 with 10 visible stitches between them.
- R20: 7 sc, dec x 6. (48)
- R21: 6 sc, dec x 6. (42)
- R22: 5 sc, dec x 6. (36)
- Begin stuffing firmly. Add extra stuffing behind the cheeks so the face stays rounded.

- R24: 3 sc, dec x 6. (24)
- R25: 2 sc, dec x 6. (18)
- R26: 1 sc, dec x 6. (12)
- R27: dec x 6. (6)
- Fasten off and close.

For the nose line, embroider a short horizontal stitch centered between the eyes, about two rounds below them. Add a short vertical stitch downward from the center. Keep it tiny and soft. The mouth is minimal in the sample, so do not extend it too far.
Ears Make 2
The ears are narrow at the top, fuller in the middle, and softly rounded at the tips. They hang straight down, ending near the upper chest. Do not overstuff them. A very light amount of stuffing only at the top keeps them soft and draped.
- R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
- R4-R7: sc around. (18)
- R8: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
- R9-R15: sc around. (16)
- R16: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
- R17-R22: sc around. (14)
- Flatten the top opening and crochet 7 sc through both sides to close.
- Leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew the ears to the head around R7 to R9, spaced evenly on each side. Angle them so they fall straight down and frame the face. In the image, the ears are not flared outward. They sit close to the cheeks.
Arms Make 2
The arms are slim and lightly tapered. The hands are simple and rounded, with no separate fingers. They hang down naturally and stop above the skirt line.
- R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3-R4: sc around. (12)
- R5: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
- R6-R16: sc around. (10)
- Stuff only the lower half lightly.
- Flatten top and crochet 5 sc through both sides to close.
- Leave a tail for sewing.
Legs Make 2
The legs are straight and fairly short compared with the head, which gives the doll its sweet, childlike proportion. The feet are hidden by the shoes, so the basic leg shape can stay simple.
- R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
- R4-R5: sc around. (18)
- R6: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
- R7-R8: sc around. (16)
- R9: 6 sc, dec x 2, 6 sc. (14)
- R10-R18: sc around. (14)
- Stuff firmly from foot to top.
- Fasten off first leg.
- Make second leg the same, but do not fasten off.
Body
This bunny has a small hidden body under the dress. Keep it slim and smooth so the dress sits neatly. Join the legs with the feet facing forward.
- From the second leg, ch 4 and join to the first leg.
- R1: 14 sc around first leg, 4 sc across chain, 14 sc around second leg, 4 sc across other side of chain. (36)
- R2-R4: sc around. (36)
- R5: 4 sc, dec x 6, 8 sc, dec x 2, 4 sc. (28)
- R6-R8: sc around. (28)
- R9: 5 sc, dec x 4, 7 sc, dec x 3. (21)
- R10-R12: sc around. (21)
- R13: 1 sc, dec x 7. (14)
- R14-R16: sc around. (14)
- Stuff body firmly.
- R17: sc around in blo. (14)
- R18-R21: sc around. (14)
- Fasten off with a long tail for attaching the head.
That blo round helps the dress sit a little more cleanly at the waistline. Sew the body to the head securely, centering it under the chin. The doll in the image has almost no visible neck, so place the body high into the lower head curve.

Main Bunny Clothing and Accessories
Dress
The dress is the key clothing piece. It has a fitted upper section, a gentle waistline, and a flared skirt with a soft decorative hem. The stitches on the sample look neat and dense, so keep tension even. This piece is worked from the top down.
- Ch 24, join carefully without twisting.
- R1-R4: sc around. (24)
- R5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
- R6: sc around. (30)
- R7: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
- R8: sc around. (36)
- R9: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
- R10: sc around. (42)
- R11: 6 sc, inc x 6. (48)
- R12: sc around. (48)
- R13: 7 sc, inc x 6. (54)
- R14-R18: sc around. (54)
- R19: in flo, 8 sc, inc x 6, 6 sc, inc x 6, 4 sc. (66)
- R20-R22: sc around. (66)
- R23: 10 sc, inc x 6. (72)
- R24-R25: sc around. (72)
For the lower edge, switch to a light decorative border that still stays modest. The photo shows a scalloped, slightly textured trim rather than deep ruffles.
- R26: 2 sc, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, 1 sc in next st; rep around to create soft shells.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
To match the sample, the dress should sit just below the knees. If your yarn runs smaller, add one or two plain rounds before the shell edging. The fit should be easy, not tight, because the cardigan sits on top.
Lavender Flower Hem Appliques
The hem flowers are scattered and delicate. They are not full roses. They look like small five-petal blossoms and tiny folded petal accents. Make 5 medium flowers and 4 to 6 tiny petal clusters in pale lavender.
Medium Flower Make 5
- With lavender yarn, 5 sc in mr.
- Sl st to first sc.
- In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
- You will have 5 petals.
- Fasten off, leaving a tail.
Tiny Petal Cluster Make 4 to 6
- With lavender yarn, 4 sc in mr.
- Sl st to join.
- In each stitch work: sl st, ch 1, 1 hdc, ch 1, sl st.
- Fasten off.
Sew the flowers around the lower skirt front and slightly toward the sides. Add a few tiny beige anchoring stitches or crocheted vines in the same taupe as the dress. Keep the distribution airy. The photo does not show a fully covered floral border.
Cardigan
The cardigan is short, open in front, and slightly rounded at the lower corners. It has long sleeves and a neat clean finish without heavy ribbing. The front panels fall straight down from the shoulders and stop above the deepest part of the skirt.
This cardigan is worked in rows from the neckline down, then divided for body and sleeves. The structure is simple so the finished look stays soft and elegant.
- With cream yarn, ch 28.
- Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (27)
- Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc 4, inc, sc 4, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 4, inc, sc 4. (31)
- Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc across. (31)
- Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc 5, inc, sc 5, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 5, inc, sc 5. (35)
- Row 5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (35)
- Row 6: ch 1, turn, sc 6, inc, sc 6, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 6, inc, sc 6. (39)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Now divide for sleeves. Use stitch markers if needed.
- Row 7: ch 1, turn, sc 6, skip 8, ch 2, sc 9, skip 8, ch 2, sc 6. (25 plus sleeve openings)
- Row 8-R13: ch 1, turn, sc across. (25)
- On the final row, work 2 extra sc at each lower front corner to round them softly.
- Fasten off.
Sleeves, join yarn at arm opening.
- Round 1: sc evenly around opening, including 2 stitches in the underarm chains. Aim for 10 sts.
- Round 2-R11: sc around. (10)
- Round 12: sl st around loosely.
- Fasten off.
Repeat for second sleeve. Sew or anchor the cardigan lightly at the shoulders if desired, but keep the front open. The image shows no front closure. The cardigan overlaps the dress very softly without bunching.
Brooch Flower
The cardigan has one tiny lavender flower on the bunny’s left chest. Make one small flower using the same medium flower pattern above. Sew it near the upper edge of the cardigan front. Add a tiny center knot with cream or yellow yarn if desired.
Beret
The beret is soft, wide, and slightly slouched toward the bunny’s right side. It sits low across the forehead and covers the ear base area. To match the photo, make the crown broad first, then shape the lower band smaller so it nestles around the head.
- With lavender-gray yarn, 6 sc in mr. (6)
- R2: inc around. (12)
- R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
- R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
- R5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
- R6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
- R7: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
- R8: 6 sc, inc x 6. (48)
- R9: 7 sc, inc x 6. (54)
- R10-R14: sc around. (54)
- R15: 7 sc, dec x 6. (48)
- R16: 6 sc, dec x 6. (42)
- R17: 5 sc, dec x 6. (36)
- R18: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
- R19-R21: sc around. (30)
- Fasten off.
Try the beret on before weaving in the end. It should sit low and roomy. If you want slightly more slouch, add one extra plain round at 54 stitches before the shaping rounds.
Beret Flower Cluster
The beret is decorated with a three-flower cluster on the bunny’s right side. Make 3 medium flowers in pale lavender. Stack them slightly overlapping and sew them onto the beret edge. One flower sits highest, with two tucked below it for a natural cluster.
Crossbody Bag
The bag is a slim oval pouch with a narrow strap crossing from the bunny’s left shoulder to the right hip. The pouch rests against the front of the skirt. It is flat and delicate, not bulky.
- With taupe yarn, ch 8.
- Round 1: sc in second ch from hook and across 5, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side 5 sc, 3 sc in final stitch. (16)
- Round 2: inc, 5 sc, inc x 3, 5 sc, inc x 2. (22)
- Round 3-R5: sc around. (22)
- Flatten and sew the top almost closed, leaving a small opening if desired.
- For the strap, ch 42 to 48 depending on your tension and preferred drape.
- Fasten the strap securely to both sides of the pouch.
Sew or tack the strap so it crosses the chest neatly and does not rise into the face area. In the image, the bag hangs gently and the pouch sits just above the lower skirt decorations.
Shoes Make 2
The shoes are simple Mary Jane style slippers in the same ivory as the bunny. They cover the front of the feet and include a delicate strap look. Since the dress partly covers them, keep them clean and rounded.
- Ch 6.
- Round 1: sc in second ch from hook and across 4, 3 sc in last ch, 3 sc on opposite side, 2 sc in last st. (12)
- Round 2: inc, 3 sc, inc x 3, 3 sc, inc x 2. (18)
- Round 3: sc around in blo. (18)
- Round 4: 5 sc, dec x 4, 5 sc. (14)
- Round 5: sc around. (14)
- Flatten opening and sew lightly around the foot to fit.
- For the strap, attach yarn at one side, ch 5, secure to opposite side with sl st.

Sew the shoes directly to the feet if you want them permanent. The shoe opening should sit slightly low, just like the sample, so a little of the foot shape still shows above the toe area.
Mini Bunny Companion
The small companion mirrors the styling of the larger bunny. Its proportions are simpler: a rounded head, tiny body, short ears, little cardigan, tiny beret, and a miniature flower accent. Keep all details small and neat so the final look stays charming instead of crowded.
Mini Head

Add one tiny lavender flower to the mini cardigan chest and one to the beret. The mini face can have a tiny stitched nose and short vertical mouth line. Keep the expression very simple and sweet.
Star Accent
The star lying near the sign in the photo can be recreated as a flat decorative accent. It works well as a prop, charm, pocket tuck-in, or a tiny photo accessory for the set.
- With ivory yarn, ch 2.
- Work 5 sc in second ch from hook.
- Join with sl st.
- For each point work: ch 4, sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next, hdc in next, skip 1 base stitch, sl st in next base stitch.
- Repeat 5 times.
- Fasten off and shape the points neatly.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Sew the head to the body first. Then attach the arms evenly so the hands sit near the upper skirt. Dress the bunny, then place the cardigan on top. Add the shoes last if they are removable, or sew them before dressing if they are permanent.
Set the beret low on the forehead, slightly tilted to the bunny’s right. Sew the flower cluster onto the beret before attaching the beret to the head. Tack the beret in a few hidden places so it stays soft but secure.
Attach the crossbody strap from the bunny’s left shoulder to the right side of the skirt. The pouch should rest naturally at the front. Embroider the nose and short mouth line carefully. Add a touch of blush under the eyes if you want a warmer expression.
Care Notes
- Store the doll away from direct sunlight to keep pale shades clean and even.
- Avoid overhandling the floral appliques and beret flowers.
- If this set is made for display, place it on a stable shelf or tabletop.
- If made for gifting, attach all small details very securely.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
For light dust, use a clean dry makeup brush or a soft baby toothbrush. Brush gently in the direction of the stitches. This works especially well around the beret flowers, cardigan edges, and the floral hem where lint can collect.
If deeper cleaning is needed, spot clean with cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap. Dab the area with a cloth instead of rubbing. Never twist or wring the doll, because that can distort the head shape, body stuffing, and the neat drape of the dress.
Lay flat on a towel to dry. Shape the ears, beret, dress hem, and bag strap while damp. Keep the doll away from heat sources during drying. If the flowers flatten, reshape them gently with your fingers before the piece is fully dry.
For long-term preservation, store in a breathable fabric bag or a clean display cabinet. Do not seal in plastic for long periods in humid spaces. If displaying seasonally, wrap the floral details lightly in tissue so the petals keep their shape between uses.
