Pieris Pearl-Window Bunny – Crochet

Pieris Pearl-Window Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi set features a dressed bunny with a soft cloche hat, a tiny shoulder bag, and a delicate spring look that feels perfect for nursery decor, handmade gift ideas, and collectible bunny doll lovers. The matching mini pig, flower vase, letter, and lace cloth complete the scene beautifully.

If you enjoy searching for an heirloom crochet bunny doll, cottagecore stuffed animal, or handmade Easter bunny gift, this design brings that same gentle mood into a detailed crochet project. The finished set looks polished, giftable, and display-ready while still being approachable for patient beginners.

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 includes all items shown in the image:

  • A standing bunny with long ears
  • A cream dress with pearl-like flower edging
  • A light gray cardigan
  • A cream cloche hat with floral trim
  • A small cream shoulder bag
  • A mini pig companion with dress, cardigan, and hat
  • A small textured vase with white bell flowers
  • A tiny letter card
  • A square lace cloth

The main bunny is designed with a large round head, a compact upper body, a softly flared dress, short rounded legs, and simple oval feet. The ears hang straight down from beneath the hat. The face is minimal, with black eyes and a small stitched nose-mouth detail.

The pig companion mirrors the same wardrobe story in a smaller scale. It has a rounded pink head, tiny snout, small upright ears, a short cream dress, a tiny gray cardigan, and a matching hat with floral decoration.

Skill Level

Intermediate

A confident beginner can still make this set by working slowly and checking stitch counts often. Most shaping uses basic stitches, increases, and decreases. The visual finish depends on careful assembly, neat stuffing, and tidy placement of the tiny decorative pieces.

Materials

  • Sport weight or light DK cotton yarn in cream, light gray, dusty pink, pale green, and white
  • A very small amount of brown or taupe for facial embroidery
  • 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm crochet hook
  • Black safety eyes: 6 mm for bunny, 4 mm for pig
  • Polyester fiberfill
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Small scissors
  • Sewing pins
  • Thin craft wire for flower stems, optional but helpful
  • Fabric glue or white craft glue for the paper letter, optional
  • Thin plastic canvas or cardboard insert for the letter and lace cloth, optional
  • Small decorative pearl beads, optional substitute for crocheted flower centers

Yarn Colors Used

  • Cream: bunny head, body, dress, hat, bag, shoes, cloth, vase base
  • Light gray: bunny cardigan, pig cardigan
  • Dusty pink: pig head, limbs, snout, ears
  • White: flower bells, trim details, letter base
  • Pale green: stems, leaves, floral hat trims
  • Brown: bunny nose-mouth embroidery

Finished Size

  • Main bunny: about 8.5 to 9.5 inches tall seated straight, about 10 to 11 inches including hat
  • Mini pig: about 4 inches tall
  • Vase: about 2 inches tall
  • Letter: about 1.5 inches wide
  • Lace cloth: about 2.25 inches square on the diagonal

The exact size will vary based on yarn brand, hook, and tension. To match the image, keep stitches firm and stuffing smooth. The fabric should look dense, even, and neatly structured without visible gaps.

General Notes

  • Work in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
  • Use a stitch marker at the start of each round.
  • Stuff firmly but gradually.
  • For the neatest finish, use invisible decreases.
  • All clothing pieces are removable except the main bunny dress, which is built as part of the body for a smooth shape.
  • The cardigan, hats, bag, pig dress, vase, flowers, letter, and lace cloth are separate pieces.

Main Bunny

Head

Using cream yarn:

  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: (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 10-19: sc around. (54)

Insert 6 mm safety eyes between Rnds 13 and 14 with about 11 stitches between them. The image shows the eyes placed fairly low and wide, giving the bunny a calm, childlike expression.

  1. Rnd 20: (7 sc, dec) x 6. (48)
  2. Rnd 21: (6 sc, dec) x 6. (42)
  3. Rnd 22: (5 sc, dec) x 6. (36)
  4. Rnd 23: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)
  5. Rnd 24: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)

Stuff the head firmly, shaping it into a smooth sphere with a slightly flatter face. Do not overstuff the lower edge, because the neck should still sit neatly into the dress opening.

  1. Rnd 25: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not close fully if you prefer to attach the head onto an open neck edge first and finish shaping afterward.

Snout Shaping and Face

The bunny in the image has a very subtle muzzle rather than a raised snout. To match that look, use soft embroidery and light sculpting instead of a separate muzzle piece.

  • Use cream yarn to make two tiny horizontal anchoring stitches between the eyes, one round below eye level.
  • Pull gently to create a mild face indentation.
  • Embroider a small upside-down Y shape using brown yarn.
  • The nose should be narrow and centered.
  • The mouth lines should angle down softly and remain short.

Ears Make 2

Using cream yarn:

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
  4. Rnd 4-7: sc around. (18)
  5. Rnd 8: (4 sc, dec) x 3. (15)
  6. Rnd 9-18: sc around. (15)
  7. Rnd 19: (3 sc, dec) x 3. (12)
  8. Rnd 20-28: sc around. (12)
  9. Rnd 29: flatten and sc through both sides across 6 sts.

Do not stuff the ears. Flatten them lightly with your fingers. They should hang long and soft, ending around shoulder height, just like the image.

Legs Make 2

Using cream yarn:

  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: BLO sc around. (18)
  5. Rnd 5-6: sc around. (18)
  6. Rnd 7: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
  7. Rnd 8: sc around. (14)
  8. Rnd 9: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc. (13)
  9. Rnd 10-16: sc around. (13)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the foot firmly and the upper leg moderately. Flatten the sole so the bunny can stand with support. Fasten off first leg. Finish second leg but do not cut yarn.

Body and Dress

Join the legs with cream yarn.

  1. Rnd 1: ch 4 and join second leg to first leg, sc around first leg, 4 sc in chain, sc around second leg, 4 sc on opposite side of chain. (34)
  2. Rnd 2: sc around. (34)
  3. Rnd 3: (16 sc, inc) x 2. (36)
  4. Rnd 4: sc around. (36)
  5. Rnd 5: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
  6. Rnd 6-8: sc around. (42)

This lower section becomes the dress volume. The image shows a softly bell-shaped skirt, not a dramatic flare, so keep the increase line controlled and even.

  1. Rnd 9: BLO sc around. (42)
  2. Rnd 10-13: sc around. (42)
  3. Rnd 14: (5 sc, dec) x 6. (36)
  4. Rnd 15: sc around. (36)
  5. Rnd 16: (4 sc, dec) x 6. (30)
  6. Rnd 17: sc around. (30)
  7. Rnd 18: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
  8. Rnd 19-21: sc around. (24)

Stuff the body firmly from the waist downward first, then more softly in the chest. The upper torso in the image is compact and smooth so the cardigan sits close to the body.

Dress Hem Ruffle

Return to the front loops left at Rnd 9. Join cream yarn.

  1. Work around: (2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st) around.
  2. Optional final edging: sl st loosely around to soften the wave.

This creates the soft lower edge seen under the flower trim. Keep the ruffle light, not frilly.

Upper Dress Border

Join white yarn near the upper chest line where the cardigan opening will sit above the waist. Work a decorative band across the visible front area and continue around the body if desired.

  1. Rnd 1: sl st around or sc around in the chosen line.
  2. Rnd 2: in pale green, sl st around.
  3. Rnd 3: in white, make small flower bumps by repeating: sl st in next st, ch 3, 2 dc cluster into same st, sl st in same st, sl st in next st.

The photo shows tiny white pearl-like blossoms attached to a green vine. This edging should look like spaced miniature bells rather than full flowers.

Lower Dress Garland

Make another floral vine around the lower skirt, positioned just above the hem ruffle.

  • In pale green, embroider or surface sl st a thin horizontal vine around the front and sides.
  • Add small white bobbles, puff-like buds, or tiny sewn bell flowers at even intervals.
  • Focus the prettiest placement on the front because that is the main display angle.

Arms Make 2

Using cream yarn:

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x 3. (9)
  3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. (9)
  4. Rnd 5: dec, 7 sc. (8)
  5. Rnd 6-14: sc around. (8)
  6. Rnd 15: flatten and sc through both sides across 4 sts.

Stuff only the lower half of each arm. The sleeves in the image look slim, and the hands are simple rounded cream ends with no separate paws.

Shoes Detail

The feet in the image resemble simple strapped shoes. To suggest that look:

  • Embroider a shallow horizontal line across the top of each foot in cream.
  • Add a small diagonal stitch near the ankle to suggest the strap edge.
  • Keep everything tone-on-tone and subtle.

The hat should sit low, covering the top of the head and slightly overlapping the ear base. The brim should roll gently downward at the sides, creating a classic cloche silhouette.

Hat Band

Join cream yarn one round above the brim increase line and surface sl st around to make the raised hat band visible in the image.

Hat Flowers and Leaves

Make 3 small white buds and 2 green leaves.

  • Bud: ch 3, 3 dc cluster in first ch, fasten off.
  • Leaf: ch 4, sl st in second ch, sc in next, hdc in next.

Sew the leaves and buds on the left side of the hat. Arrange them as a short curved spray angled slightly upward. This detail is small but important for matching the image.

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)

Body and Dress

Using cream yarn for dress body after joining the pink legs creates the same visual effect seen in the image.

  1. Join legs with ch 2 and sc around both legs and chain spaces. (22)

Stuff body lightly. Sew the head to the neck opening.

Pig Dress Hem

Return to the front loops left from Rnd 6 and work:

  • (2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st) around

This gives the pig the small flared cream skirt visible in the image.

Pig Cardigan

Using light gray yarn:

  • Back: ch 11, work 6 rows sc
  • Fronts: make 2 pieces, ch 6, work 5 rows sc
  • Sleeves: make 2 pieces, ch 7, work 5 rows sc

Assemble as for the bunny cardigan. Keep the fit tiny and snug. The front edges should stay open. Add one tiny cream embroidered dot on each side as button detail if desired.

Pig Hat

Using cream yarn:

  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)

Flower Vase

Vase Base

Using cream yarn:

  1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)

  7. Rnd 9-10: sc around. (12)
  8. Rnd 11: (dec) x 6. (6)

Stuff the lower part firmly before the last round. The vase in the image is rounded and narrow at the top, almost like a small ceramic bud vase.

Flower Stems

Cut 5 to 7 short pieces of thin craft wire. Wrap each wire with pale green yarn and a small amount of glue if desired. If you prefer no wire, crochet chain stems instead.

Bell Flowers

Using white yarn, make 10 to 14 tiny bells.

  • ch 3
  • work 3 dc into first ch
  • sl st to close the tiny cup

Sew two or three bells to each stem end so they droop gently downward. Add 1 or 2 tiny green leaves near the vase opening. Arrange the stems into a soft fan shape, matching the image.

Letter Card

The small card in the photo looks like an open letter or postcard with stitched writing lines and a tiny stamp.

Base

Using white yarn:

  1. Ch 9.
  2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. (8)
  3. Row 2-5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (8)

Fasten off. Fold slightly at center if you want the open-letter effect. Embroider thin gray lines to suggest writing. Add a tiny pink square in one corner for the stamp.

Square Lace Cloth

This piece sits flat on the table and looks like a delicate little handkerchief or doily worked on the diagonal.

Cloth

Using cream or white yarn:

  1. Ch 4, join to form a ring.
  2. Rnd 1: ch 3, 3 dc, ch 2, 4 dc into ring.
  3. Rnd 2: turn work slightly to continue square growth, ch 3, 3 dc in first space, ch 2, 3 dc in center corner, ch 2, 3 dc in last space.
  4. Rnd 3-5: continue granny-style square with only corner increases.

Once the square reaches the right small size, add an edge:

  • sc along each side
  • at regular intervals work: sc, ch 2, sl st in second ch, sc

This creates the pointed scalloped look shown in the image. Block the cloth gently so it sits crisp and flat.

Assembly

Main Bunny Assembly

  1. Sew the head to the body, keeping the face centered over the legs.
  2. Sew the ears to the upper sides of the head, slightly behind eye level.
  3. Let the ears hang down naturally.
  4. Sew the arms at the upper body just below the neck.
  5. Dress the bunny in the cardigan.
  6. Place the hat low on the head so it frames the eyes and ears.
  7. Position the bag on the left arm or shoulder.

The bunny should look upright, calm, and balanced. If needed, add a small weight pouch in the lower body or feet for stability.

Pig Assembly

  1. Sew snout to face first.
  2. Sew ears to top of head.
  3. Sew head to body.
  4. Attach arms to upper sides.
  5. Dress in cardigan and hat.

The pig should stand as a small companion, not as a highly posed figure. Keep the limbs simple and evenly placed.

Styling the Display

  • Place the vase to the bunny’s left side.
  • Lay the letter flat near the front.
  • Position the lace cloth near the pig.
  • Set the pig slightly lower and to the bunny’s right.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the bunny face from straight on before tightening any final embroidery. The eyes should sit evenly, the nose should be centered, and the mouth should remain short and delicate. Avoid making the smile too wide, because the image shows a very calm expression.

For the pig, keep the nostrils tiny and balanced. The face should remain open and sweet, with the snout centered low under the eyes. Tiny changes in placement affect the look a lot, so pin first and stitch only when satisfied.

Care Notes

  • Display indoors away from direct sunlight.
  • Handle the flower stems gently.
  • Do not pull the hat decorations or bag strap.
  • Store flat or upright in a dust-free area.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Are both bunny ears sewn at the same height?
  • Does the hat sit low and evenly?
  • Is the cardigan centered on both dolls?
  • Are the floral trims attached securely?
  • Do the feet sit flat enough for display?
  • Is the pig scaled clearly smaller than the bunny?
  • Are the letter, vase, and cloth neat and finished?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Do not soak the dolls
