Amsonia Harbor-Ribbon Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi set features a soft bunny doll dressed in a dusty blue outfit with a matching hat, tiny shoes, and sweet floral accents. It has the polished charm of a handmade bunny doll, collectible amigurumi rabbit, and boutique nursery gift, making it especially appealing for shoppers looking for heirloom-style crochet decor.

The full set also includes a small companion puppy, a mini backpack, a folded cloth, a flower bouquet, and a tiny postcard accent. With its gentle pastel palette and carefully styled details, this design fits beautifully into searches for crochet bunny gift, stuffed animal keepsake, baby shower present, and handmade doll display.

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

Design Overview

This design is worked in separate pieces and then assembled with careful shaping so the finished doll matches the soft proportions seen in the image.

The bunny has a rounded head, long downward ears, a compact torso, lightly stuffed limbs, and a wide skirted dress that flares gently instead of standing out stiffly.

The hat sits low on the head like a soft beret-cap hybrid, with one side decorated by a small branch and pale blue blossoms.

The outfit includes a cream blouse effect, a rounded collar, a dusty blue pinafore dress, and tiny trim flowers placed across the upper chest and near the lower hem.

The feet wear light blue shoes with cream bow details. The companion puppy echoes the same outfit styling so the set looks coordinated.

Everything in the image is small, neat, and tightly stitched. Use firm tension throughout so the fabric stays smooth and stuffing does not show through.

  • Main bunny: about 10.5 to 11.5 inches tall from feet to top of hat

General Notes

Work in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.

Use a stitch marker and move it at the end of every round.

Stuff gradually and firmly, but do not overstuff the limbs. In the image, the arms and ears are soft and relaxed, not hard or rigid.

The head is proportionally large compared with the torso. The body is slim through the upper section, then visually widens because of the dress skirt.

The legs are straight and evenly spaced. The arms are attached low enough to sit under the puffed cream sleeves.

If you want the closest visual match, use mercerized cotton or a smooth matte cotton blend so the stitches look tidy and defined.

Main Bunny

Legs Make 2

Start with cream.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: sc around in BLO. 18
  5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 2 sc. 16
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec, 2 sc. 14
  7. Rnd 7: sc around. 14

This forms a softly rounded foot. Stuff the front of the foot lightly.

To create the shoe edge seen in the image, join dusty blue in FLO of rnd 4 and work 1 round of sl st all around. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Continue the leg in cream.

  1. Rnd 8 to 18: sc around. 14

Stuff the lower leg and keep the upper portion only lightly filled so the legs stay straight but not bulky.

Fasten off the first leg. Do not fasten off the second leg.

Joining the Legs and Making the Body

  1. From the second leg, ch 4 and join to the first leg.
  2. Rnd 19: 14 sc around first leg, 4 sc across chain, 14 sc around second leg, 4 sc across other side of chain. 36
  3. Rnd 20: 14 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 14 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc. 40
  4. Rnd 21 to 23: sc around. 40
  5. Rnd 24: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. 36
  6. Rnd 25: sc around. 36
  7. Rnd 26: 7 sc, dec x4. 32
  8. Rnd 27: sc around. 32
  9. Rnd 28: 6 sc, dec x4. 28
  10. Rnd 29: sc around. 28
  11. Rnd 30: 5 sc, dec x4. 24
  12. Rnd 31: sc around. 24

Stuff the body firmly through the hips and lower torso. Keep the upper chest slightly softer.

The image shows a compact body hidden under the blouse and dress, so avoid making the torso too long.

Neck

  1. Rnd 32 to 35: sc around. 24

The neck should be stable. Add a little extra stuffing here. If needed, insert a small rolled piece of felt or a cotton swab stem trimmed safely and wrapped for support.

Head

  1. Rnd 36: sc, inc x12. 36
  2. Rnd 37: 2 sc, inc x12. 48
  3. Rnd 38: 3 sc, inc x12. 60
  4. Rnd 39 to 48: sc around. 60
  5. Rnd 49: 3 sc, dec x12. 48
  6. Rnd 50: 2 sc, dec x12. 36

Insert eyes between rnds 43 and 44 with about 9 visible stitches between them.

The face in the image has wide spacing, giving a calm and delicate expression.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Embroider very short curved brows in brown thread two rounds above the eyes. Each brow is tiny and angled very slightly upward toward the outside.

Embroider the nose as a short vertical line centered between the eyes, starting around rnd 46. Add a tiny horizontal or slightly split mouth below it.

Keep the face minimal. The charm comes from the simplicity.

  1. Rnd 51: sc, dec x12. 24
  2. Rnd 52: dec around. 12

Finish stuffing before closing.

  1. Rnd 53: dec around. 6

Fasten off and close the opening.

Ears Make 2

Use cream.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. 24
  5. Rnd 5 to 7: sc around. 24
  6. Rnd 8: 2 sc, dec x6. 18
  7. Rnd 9 to 18: sc around. 18
  8. Rnd 19: sc, dec x6. 12
  9. Rnd 20 to 24: sc around. 12

Flatten the opening and crochet 6 sc through both sides, or sew closed flat.

Do not stuff. The ears in the image are soft and drape straight down with rounded lower ends.

Sew the ears to the sides of the head around rnds 36 to 39, slightly behind the face so they frame the cheeks instead of covering them.

Arms Make 2

Use cream.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
  3. Rnd 3 to 5: sc around. 12
  4. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec x2, 4 sc. 10
  5. Rnd 7 to 16: sc around. 10

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten the top and sew closed.

Sew the arms at the sides of the body around rnd 31, angled slightly downward.

The image shows relaxed arms that fall naturally beside the skirt, so avoid attaching them straight outward.

Collar

Use cream. Work in rows.

  1. Ch 18.
  2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 17, ch 1, turn.
  3. Row 2: sc 17.

Now shape the rounded collar tips on both ends.

Work around the strip with small shaping.

  • Along first short end: 2 sc
  • Along one long side: 17 sc
  • At second short end: 2 sc, 2 hdc, 1 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc worked around the corner area as needed to round it softly
  • Along second long side: 17 sc
  • At first short end: repeat the same curved shaping

Fasten off, leaving a sewing tail.

Sew the collar around the neck so the two rounded fronts meet at the center chest, just above the dress bib.

Dress Bodice and Skirt

The dress is worked as a separate garment in dusty blue and then dressed onto the bunny.

The blouse effect remains cream because the body underneath is cream.

Bodice

Use dusty blue. Work in joined rounds if you want a cleaner horizontal finish.

  1. Ch 30 and join carefully without twisting.
  2. Rnd 1 to 4: sc around. 30

This narrow band should fit around the upper body just under the collar.

Try it on the doll. It should sit snugly but not stretch too hard.

Skirt Expansion

  1. Rnd 5: 4 sc, inc x6. 36
  2. Rnd 6: sc around. 36
  3. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc x6. 42
  4. Rnd 8: sc around. 42
  5. Rnd 9: 6 sc, inc x6. 48
  6. Rnd 10: sc around. 48
  7. Rnd 11: 7 sc, inc x6. 54
  8. Rnd 12 to 18: sc around. 54

This creates the bell shape seen in the image.

The skirt is not heavily ruffled. It widens gradually and falls smoothly.

Fasten off.

Back Opening and Shoulder Straps

The image suggests a pinafore style with a smooth upper section. You can either sew the bodice closed at the back after dressing the doll or create a small opening.

For the cleanest finish, make two straps.

  • Ch 8, work 7 sc back for first strap.
  • Make a second identical strap.
  • Sew the straps from the top front bodice to the upper back so the dress sits high on the chest.

If preferred, sew the dress permanently to the doll with tiny stitches hidden under the collar and beneath the arms.

Lower Hem Trim

Join cream yarn to the lower skirt edge.

Work 1 round of sl st evenly around.

This creates the narrow pale line visible near the hem in the image.

Dress Floral Embellishments

The dress includes tiny blue flowers across the chest and scattered near the hem.

Make at least 8 to 10 tiny flowers total so the placement looks balanced.

Tiny Five-Petal Flowers

Use pale sky blue.

  1. In MR, repeat 5 times: ch 2, 1 sc into ring.
  2. Tighten ring and fasten off.

For slightly fuller flowers, use this alternate version.

  1. In MR, repeat 5 times: ch 2, 1 hdc, ch 2, sl st into ring.

Make some very small and some slightly fuller to mimic the varied blossoms seen in the picture.

Leaves

Use muted green.

  • Ch 3, sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next ch, fasten off.

Sew 4 or 5 small flowers across the upper bodice.

Add tiny green leaf stitches between them using short detached embroidered stitches.

Sew 4 or 5 more miniature blossoms along the lower front hem, keeping them low and spaced apart.

Hat

The hat is a soft cream cap with a gentle beret look and a rounded brim.

It is not tall. It sits low and slightly loose over the top of the head.

Use cream.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. 12
  3. Rnd 3: sc, inc x6. 18
  4. Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc x6. 24
  5. Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc x6. 30
  6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc x6. 36
  7. Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc x6. 42
  8. Rnd 8 to 11: sc around. 42
  9. Rnd 12: 5 sc, dec x6. 36
  10. Rnd 13: sc around. 36
  11. Rnd 14: 4 sc, dec x6. 30
  12. Rnd 15: sc around. 30

Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Try the hat on the bunny. It should cover the crown and dip toward the forehead.

Sew it lightly to the head with a few hidden stitches so it stays in place without flattening the ears too much.

Hat Flower Branch

Use brown for the branch and pale blue for blossoms.

Crochet or embroider a short branch about 1 inch long. Add two tiny side twigs.

Make 3 tiny blue flowers and 1 or 2 little buds.

Sew the branch to the left side of the hat, angled upward, just like the image.

Add one green leaf if needed, but keep this trim delicate and sparse.

Shoes

The shoes in the image are neat and rounded, with dusty blue bodies and cream bow details.

You may crochet them directly over the feet or sew them in place as decorative overlays.

Shoe Cover Make 2

Use dusty blue.

  1. Ch 7.
  2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side, sc 4, inc in last st. 14
  3. Rnd 2: inc, 4 sc, inc x3, 4 sc, inc x2. 20
  4. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. 20
  5. Rnd 4: 6 sc, dec x4, 6 sc. 16
  6. Rnd 5: sc around. 16

Fasten off with a tail and sew around the foot, leaving the top open like a Mary Jane flat.

Shoe Strap

  • Ch 8, fasten off.

Sew each strap across the top of the shoe near the ankle line.

Cream Bow or Petal Detail

Make a tiny center bow from cream yarn.

  • In MR, make: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.

Wrap the center with yarn and sew one onto each shoe front.

The image makes these appear like soft petal bows, so keep them small and flattened.

  2. Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc 7, 3 sc in last ch, sc 6 on opposite side, inc in final st. 18

  • Make 1 shorter chain loop for the top handle.
  • Add a tiny cream or neutral knot, bead, or embroidered dot at the flap center for the closure detail.

Folded Cloth

This small square piece in the image looks like a folded kerchief or tiny blanket.

Use dusty blue with a cream edge.

  1. Ch 13.
  2. Row 1 to 12: sc across 12.

Fasten off dusty blue.

Join cream and work a sl st border around all four sides.

Fold the square diagonally into a triangle, then fold again into a smaller square-triangle shape to match the image.

Take one or two tiny hidden stitches to hold the folded shape.

Postcard Accent

The postcard in the image is decorative and tiny.

Use cream or off-white yarn.

  1. Ch 9.
  2. Row 1 to 6: sc across 8.

Fasten off.

Use brown, blue, and pink embroidery to add small stitched lines and a tiny flower mark.

The bouquet is compact and rounded, with pale blue flowers clustered tightly and wrapped at the stem.

Mini Puff Flowers Make 7 to 9

Use pale blue.

  • Make 5 ch, join into a ring.
  • Into ring, work 5 times: 1 sc, ch 3.
  • Or use 6 tiny bobbles close together if you prefer a fuller blossom look.

You can also make tiny rounded buds by crocheting 4 sc in MR and closing them into little knots.

Leaves and Wrap

Use muted green for two small leaves.

  • Ch 4, sl st, sc, hdc along the chain. Fasten off.

Gather the flower stems together with green or brown thread.

Wrap the base with dusty blue yarn to mimic the ribbon wrap seen in the image.

Sew the blossoms into one compact cluster, not a spread-out bouquet.

Companion Puppy

The little companion echoes the outfit colors and scale of the bunny but has a puppy face, brown floppy ears, and a cream muzzle with a brown nose.

Puppy Head

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. 6

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

  1. Sew the ears to the bunny head first.
  2. Attach the arms so they fall naturally beside the dress.
  3. Sew the collar around the neck.
  4. Dress the bunny with the blue pinafore and secure it neatly at the back.

A tiny face is more accurate for this design than a heavily detailed expression.

Care Notes

  • Spot clean whenever possible.
  • Handle the flower trims and hat embellishment gently.
  • Do not pull the backpack straps or bouquet stems roughly.
  • Store flat or upright away from direct sunlight.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head centered over neck
  • Ears even in height and angle
  • Dress sitting high under collar
  • Hat placed low and slightly soft
  • Flowers balanced across bodice and hem
  • Shoes matched evenly
  • Puppy scaled smaller than backpack height
  • Accessories arranged in the same calm palette

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a barely damp cloth for regular dust removal.

If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash very gently in cool water with mild soap and press between towels without twisting.

Reshape the hat, ears, skirt, and bouquet while damp, then air dry flat.

For long-term preservation, keep the set in a clean dry space and avoid pressure on the face, collar, and floral details.
