Midnight Bellflower Bunny – Crochet

This charming amigurumi bunny set combines a soft bedtime palette with heirloom-style details that many makers and shoppers love in a handmade crochet bunny doll, nursery decor plush, and giftable collectible toy. The main bunny wears a deep midnight dress, a cream petal cape collar, and a trailing bellflower vine for a polished storybook finish.

The matching accessories make this design especially appealing for anyone searching for a crochet bunny gift set, amigurumi animal plush, handmade baby room decor, or a sweet artisan stuffed bunny. Alongside the large bunny, you will make a tiny lamb friend, crescent moon bag, star charm, and lantern to recreate the full scene.

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 as a coordinated display set made of:

• One large bunny
• One midnight dress joined to the body
• One cream petal cape collar with floral edging
• One bellflower vine sash
• One pair of cream shoes with bow detail
• One crescent moon bag
• One star charm
• One mini lamb in matching clothes
• One small lantern accessory

The finished large bunny is designed to look gently rounded and slightly childlike rather than slim. The head is large and smooth, the body is softly barrel-shaped under the dress, the ears are long and drooping, and the hands and feet stay small so the clothing remains the visual focus.

Materials

• Main bunny yarn: light beige for head, ears, arms, and legs
• Dress yarn: deep navy or midnight blue
• Cape yarn: warm cream
• Flower colors: lavender, medium purple, dusty blue
• Vine color: soft green
• Shoe yarn: cream
• Moon bag yarn: cream
• Star yarn: pale buttery yellow
• Lantern yarn: dark taupe or brown, cream, and pale yellow
• Mini lamb yarn: cream, beige, navy, and cream for collar
• 2 black safety eyes for the large bunny
• 2 tiny black beads or very small safety eyes for the lamb
• Polyester stuffing
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Optional craft wire for lantern handle

Use the hook size that gives you a tight fabric with no visible stuffing gaps. For most yarn choices in this style, a hook around 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm works well. Keep your tension even. The fabric in the image is neat, compact, and smooth, with clearly defined stitches.

Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase
• dec = invisible decrease
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• FLO = front loop only
• BLO = back loop only
• st = stitch
• rnd = round

Gauge and Finished Size

Gauge is not critical as long as your stitches stay firm and all parts scale together. The large bunny should stand about 10 to 12 inches tall excluding the full ear drop, depending on yarn. The lamb should be about one-third the height of the bunny. The moon bag should reach about knee to hip height when placed beside the bunny.

Color Placement Notes

• The head, ears, arms, and legs are beige.
• The dress is midnight blue from upper torso to hem, including sleeves.
• The cape collar is cream with rounded front points.
• The collar edge flowers alternate purple and blue.
• The vine is green with hanging bellflowers in lavender and purple tones.
• The shoes are cream with a tiny bow or knot at the top.

Large Bunny Head

Stuff the head firmly as you go. The head in the image is almost spherical, with a very slight flattening at the face. It should be smooth and full, not elongated.

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: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
11. Rnd 11: (9 sc, inc) x 6. (66)
12. Rnd 12-23: sc around. (66)
13. Place eyes between Rnds 15 and 16 with about 12 stitches between them.

21. Rnd 30: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
22. Rnd 31: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
23. Leave opening for neck joining or continue directly into the neck if you prefer an integrated structure.

Head Shaping Notes

For the gentle face curve shown in the image, avoid overstuffing the very front center. Keep the sides and crown full, then lightly press the face area before closing. This helps the eyes sit softly without looking bulged.

Facial Embroidery

The expression is minimal and sweet. Use light pink or muted rose yarn for the mouth and beige-brown or taupe thread for the brows.

• Embroider a small smiling mouth centered 3 to 4 rounds below the eyes.
• Add a tiny vertical stitch descending from the middle of the smile to suggest the bunny lip split.
• Make short angled brows above each eye.
• Keep every embroidered line small and delicate.

The face should stay airy and uncluttered. Do not add a large nose. The image shows a very fine stitched smile as the main facial feature below the eyes.

Large Bunny Ears Make 2

The ears are long, soft, and lightly stuffed only at the base if desired. They hang close to the sides of the head and taper into rounded ends. Work in 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: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5-10: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 11: (10 sc, dec) x 2. (22)
7. Rnd 12-16: sc around. (22)
8. Rnd 17: (9 sc, dec) x 2. (20)
9. Rnd 18-24: sc around. (20)
10. Rnd 25: (8 sc, dec) x 2. (18)
11. Rnd 26-30: sc around. (18)
12. Flatten and sc through both sides across, or leave open for sewing.

Do not stuff the ear length. If you want a slightly thicker ear root, add a pinch of stuffing only in the top 1 inch before attaching. Sew each ear to the head between Rnds 8 and 19, curving them downward so they frame the face.

Neck and Upper Body Core

The dress is wide and hides most shaping, so the torso can be simple. The upper body should be slightly narrower than the head. Work the neck in beige, then change to midnight blue for the dress body.

1. From the head opening or as a new piece, Rnd 1: 18 sc. (18)
2. Rnd 2-4: sc around. (18)
3. Rnd 5: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
4. Change to midnight blue.
5. Rnd 6: sc around. (24)
6. Rnd 7: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
7. Rnd 8: sc around. (30)
8. Rnd 9: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
9. Rnd 10: sc around. (36)
10. Rnd 11: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
11. Rnd 12-18: sc around. (42)
12. Rnd 19: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
13. Rnd 20-27: sc around. (48)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the body moderately. It should be firm enough to stand but still soft. The dress silhouette is rounded, almost bell-shaped but not flared too widely.

Dress Skirt Extension

The skirt looks like a continuation of the body, not a separate ruffled layer. You can keep working directly from the torso or create a surface skirt over the body. The simplest match is to continue straight in navy and add a mild flare.

1. Rnd 28: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
2. Rnd 29-34: sc around. (54)
3. Rnd 35: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
4. Rnd 36-39: sc around. (60)
5. Fasten off.

The hem should fall just above the ankles. If your yarn is thicker, stop one or two rounds earlier. If your yarn is finer, add one or two extra rounds. The visible look should remain neat and straight, with only a gentle outward curve.

Legs Make 2

The legs are slim, straight, and fairly short. They emerge from under the dress and show a small amount of beige between hem and shoes.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-14: sc around. (12)
4. Stuff lightly and evenly.
5. Flatten top and close with 6 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing.

Sew the legs under the body spaced so the bunny stands steadily. Angle them slightly forward. Leave enough room for the shoes to sit side by side.

Arms Make 2

The arms are small, smooth, and slightly tapered. They are attached low enough that the cape covers the shoulder area and the dress sleeves sit over the top.

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, sc) x 3. (6)
5. Rnd 7-15: sc around. (6)
6. Stuff the hand area lightly only.
7. Flatten top and close.

Sew the arms to the upper sides of the body. They should hang straight down and end around upper skirt level, matching the image.

Simple Dress Sleeves Make 2

The sleeves are short, slightly loose tubes worked separately in midnight blue and sewn around the arm tops. They give the appearance of a classic short-sleeve dress.

1. Ch 12 and join carefully, or start with 12 sc in a ring.
2. Rnd 1-4: sc around. (12)
3. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Slide each sleeve over the arm before final sewing, or stitch it directly around the arm opening once the arm is attached. The sleeves should extend just a little below the shoulder line.

Cream Petal Cape Collar

This is one of the most important visual elements. The collar is broad, rounded, and sits like a short cape over the shoulders, opening at the front with two soft petal-like points. Work in turning joined rounds or in a shaped yoke style. The finished piece should lie flat.

Collar Base

1. Ch 36.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc across. Turn. (35)
3. Row 2: ch 1, inc, sc 31, inc in last 2 sts. Turn. (37)
4. Row 3: ch 1, sc across. Turn. (37)
5. Row 4: ch 1, inc, sc to last st, inc. Turn. (39)
6. Row 5: ch 1, sc across. Turn. (39)
7. Row 6: ch 1, inc, sc to last st, inc. Turn. (41)
8. Row 7: ch 1, sc across. Turn. (41)
9. Row 8: ch 1, inc, sc to last st, inc. Turn. (43)

Now begin rounding the front edges while keeping the back edge smooth.

1. Row 9: ch 1, sc across. At final 5 sts, work 2 hdc across the first 2 of these sts, then sc in last 3. Turn.
2. Row 10: ch 1, repeat shaping on both front ends so the tips widen and soften.
3. Continue 2 to 4 more rows as needed, checking fit around the neck.

The collar should cover the shoulders generously and reach the upper sleeve line. Do not make it too small. The picture shows a visibly oversized collar that frames the upper body.

Collar Edge Finishing

Work one round of sc evenly around the outer edge. Then lightly steam or shape by hand if needed so both front points look symmetrical.

Tiny Flower Trim for Collar

The trim along the lower collar edge alternates dusty blue and purple floral bumps. Make 8 to 10 tiny flowers or bobble rosettes depending on your scale.

Mini Flower Make Several

1. With flower color, 5 sc in MR.
2. Join with sl st.
3. In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
4. Fasten off, leaving a sewing tail.

If that looks too large in your yarn, make simpler knot flowers:

• 6 sc in MR
• Join
• Add tiny wrapped stitches around the center

Sew the flowers across the bottom edge of the collar, spacing them evenly. Alternate blue and purple to match the image. Keep them small and slightly raised.

Neck Button Detail

Add one tiny dark navy or purple round button-like crochet circle at the collar opening.

1. 6 sc in MR
2. Join and fasten off

Sew it at the top center where the two collar sides meet.

Bellflower Vine Sash

This trailing floral string hangs from the waist and is essential to the look. It should drape diagonally from the bunny’s right side toward the center front, with several downward-facing bellflowers.

Vine Cord

1. With green yarn, chain a length long enough to wrap the waist once and continue down in a hanging strand.
2. Work sl st back along the chain for a firmer cord, or use i-cord style single crochet cord if preferred.

Wrap the cord around the waist over the dress and secure it at the back or side. Leave one tail hanging downward.

Bellflower Blossoms Make 5 to 7

The image shows small, closed, bell-like flowers in lavender and purple tones. Work them so they point downward.

1. Rnd 1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (8)
3. Rnd 3: sc around in BLO. (8)
4. Rnd 4: (sc, dec) x 2, sc 2. (6)
5. Finish with tiny picot petals around the opening if desired: (sl st, ch 2, sl st) repeated 3 times.

Make the flowers in mixed lavender, purple, and bluish-lilac shades. Sew each onto short green stems branching from the main vine. Arrange them at slightly different heights for a natural cascading effect.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are cream mary-jane style slippers with a tiny bow detail on top. They are neat and rounded, not bulky.

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: sc around in BLO. (18)
5. Rnd 5: sc 5, dec 4 times, sc 5. (14)
6. Rnd 6: sc around. (14)
7. Rnd 7: sc 4, dec 3 times, sc 4. (11)
8. Fasten off.

Sew or slip each shoe over the leg base. For the strap appearance, embroider or sew a small horizontal band across the instep. Add a tiny cream bow made from a short chain tied into a knot or from wrapped yarn stitches.

Crescent Moon Bag

The moon bag is a soft cream crescent with a short handle. It sits on the floor at the bunny’s left side and is nearly as tall as the bunny’s lower legs. Work two crescent panels and seam them together.

Moon Front and Back Make 2

1. Ch 16.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. Turn. (15)
3. Row 2-4: sc across. Turn.
4. Row 5: dec, sc to last 2 sts, dec. Turn.
5. Row 6: sc across. Turn.
6. Repeat this tapering every other row on one long side only to form a crescent curve.
7. On the opposite edge, add occasional increases so the outer belly of the moon stays rounded.

When both panels match, place them together and sc around the edge, stuffing lightly. Leave the inner curve unstuffed if you want a flatter look. Add a simple handle by chaining a strip and stitching both ends securely near the top.

Star Charm

The little star rests beside the moon bag. Make it small, plump, and five-pointed in pale yellow.

1. Make 2 small star shapes or one star with front-loop/back-loop construction.
2. For a simple method: ch 2, work 5 points around a center ring using repeated sequences of ch 3, sl st back, sl st into ring.
3. Then crochet a second matching star.
4. Sew together and lightly stuff.

Keep the star soft rather than sharp-edged. It should look cuddly and decorative.

Mini Lamb Friend

The lamb is tiny, round, and dressed to echo the bunny. It has a cream textured head, beige ears and legs, a navy dress, cream collar, and a small navy beret. The proportions are compact and cute. The head is large compared with the body.

Lamb Head

You may use bobble texture or plain sc. In the image, the lamb head appears softly textured and cream colored.

Lamb Collar

Make a very small cream collar using the same method as the bunny collar, but shorter and narrower. Add a tiny purple center accent if desired.

Lamb Beret

The beret is a small navy cap tilted to one side.

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

6. Rnd 6: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
7. Fasten off and sew at a slight angle.

Lantern Accessory

The lantern is small, upright, and narrow with a darker frame and pale glowing center. It stands in front of the lamb and should reach about the lamb’s chest height.

Lantern Body

1. With brown, ch 8 and join, or start 8 sc in a ring.
2. Rnd 1-2: sc around. (8)
3. Change to pale yellow or cream for the inner light panel.
4. Rnd 3-5: sc around. (8)

Flatten the bottom gently so it stands. Embroider vertical frame lines with brown over the lighter center.

Lantern Top and Base Rims

• Add one round of surface slip stitches in brown around the top and bottom edges.
• Make a tiny handle by chaining 8 to 10 and securing both ends, or use thin wire wrapped with yarn.

Assembly Order

Styling Notes for a Close Visual Match

• Keep the head large and the body softly rounded.
• The ears must hang low, nearly to shoulder level.
• The dress should be dark and simple, without stripes or apron layers.
• The cape collar should be wide and creamy, with rounded front points.
• The tiny collar flowers should sit only along the lower edge, not all over.
• The vine sash should hang off-center rather than straight down the middle.
• The moon bag should be plain cream with no extra decorations beyond the separate star.
• The lamb should clearly echo the bunny’s outfit in miniature.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that both ears hang evenly and that the collar sits flat over the shoulders. Adjust the bellflower vine until the blossoms fall naturally across the dress front. If needed, add one tiny stitch beneath each eye for slight depth. Keep the smile fine, centered, and gentle.

Care Notes

Spot clean whenever possible. If full washing is needed, use cool water, mild soap, and very gentle hand pressure. Reshape the ears, collar, and accessories while damp. Let every piece dry fully on a towel away from direct heat or strong sunlight.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head stuffed smooth with no lumps
• Ears matched in length and angle
• Eyes level and evenly spaced
• Collar centered at the neck opening
• Flower trim balanced from left to right
• Waist vine secured neatly
• Shoes aligned for stable standing
• Mini lamb scaled smaller than one-third of bunny height
• Moon bag, star, and lantern proportioned to the scene

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the set in a clean, dry place with good airflow. Avoid hanging the bunny by the ears or collar. For long-term display, keep darker yarns away from strong sun to reduce fading. If pieces become dusty, use a soft dry brush or a gentle low-suction vacuum through mesh.
