Macaron Tearoom Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi bunny is designed as a collectible plush with a soft vintage tearoom style, making it perfect for shoppers looking for a handmade bunny doll, heirloom nursery decor, or a charming gift for Easter baskets, baby showers, and cottagecore toy collections. The design features a calm cream bunny wearing a printed blouse, layered dress, pink shoes, and a lace-trim headband.

Along with the main bunny, this design includes the tiny tea-themed extras shown in the image: a small basket with macarons, a folded napkin, and a miniature maid-style cat companion holding a teacup-inspired mood. This set works beautifully for anyone searching for handmade amigurumi decor, artisan crochet dolls, or premium giftable crochet toys.

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 pattern creates a seated bunny doll with a large rounded head, long floppy ears, a slim neck, a softly stuffed torso, straight arms, long legs, and oversized Mary Jane style shoes.

The outfit is built into the doll in layers so the finished shape matches the image closely. The blouse is worked in cream, the jumper dress in warm cocoa brown, and the underskirt in cream with a pink ruffle peeking out beneath.

The dress front includes three rectangular cookie-like appliqués in a biscuit shade, plus side accents near the waist. The blouse sleeves include small blue teacup motifs added after crocheting.

The accessories are an important part of the look. The basket contains four macarons in pastel shades, the folded napkin is square with a pink trim, and the tiny side companion is a miniature cat in a black dress with a white apron and frilled cap.

Notes Before You Begin

• Work the main doll in continuous rounds unless a row is specifically mentioned.
• Mark the first stitch of each round.
• Stuff as you go, but keep the face area smooth and not overfilled.
• The head is larger than the body, which is essential to the gentle look shown in the image.
• The ears are long, softly stuffed only at the base, and allowed to drape naturally.
• The blouse, dress, underskirt, collar, shoes, and accessories are separate or partially attached pieces assembled at the end.

Main Bunny

Head

The head is nearly spherical, but slightly fuller through the cheeks and lower face. This shape gives the bunny the soft, plush expression seen in the image.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. R5: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
6. R6: 4 sc, inc x 6. (36)
7. R7: 5 sc, inc x 6. (42)
8. R8: 6 sc, inc x 6. (48)
9. R9: 7 sc, inc x 6. (54)
10. R10: 8 sc, inc x 6. (60)
11. R11-R22: sc around. (60)

Insert the safety eyes between R15 and R16, leaving about 12 stitches between them. The eyes should sit fairly wide on the face, with plenty of open forehead above and a small muzzle area below.

Begin stuffing firmly, shaping the cheeks with your fingers as you fill. Keep the front face smooth and symmetrical.

12. R23: 8 sc, dec x 6. (54)
13. R24: 7 sc, dec x 6. (48)
14. R25: 6 sc, dec x 6. (42)
15. R26: 5 sc, dec x 6. (36)
16. R27: 4 sc, dec x 6. (30)
17. R28: 3 sc, dec x 6. (24)

Stuff firmly but do not distort the round shape. The base of the head should remain broad enough to sit neatly over the neck and top of the torso.

18. R29: 2 sc, dec x 6. (18)

Fasten off with a long tail for sewing to the neck if you prefer to attach later. If you plan to crochet the neck from the body upward and sew afterward, leave the opening unclosed.

Muzzle and Nose Shaping

The bunny in the image has a very minimal face. There is no raised muzzle piece. Instead, the nose and mouth are embroidered directly onto the head.

• Using brown embroidery thread or a strand of matching yarn, create a small inverted Y shape centered between the eyes and slightly below them.
• Stitch a tiny horizontal nose, then bring the thread down to form the center line.
• Add two short angled mouth lines, one to each side, creating a neat little bunny expression.
• Apply soft pink blush lightly on the cheeks, slightly below and outward from the eyes.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, rounded at the tip, moderately wide at the top, and gently taper toward the base. They hang close to the head and reach to about shoulder level.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. R5-R10: sc around. (24)
6. R11: 2 sc, dec x 6. (18)
7. R12-R23: sc around. (18)
8. R24: 1 sc, dec x 6. (12)
9. R25-R29: sc around. (12)

Flatten the base and close with 6 sc through both layers, or leave open for sewing. Lightly stuff only the top 3 to 4 rounds so the ear has a rounded start and then a soft drape.

Make sure both ears curve the same way. Before sewing, let them rest naturally so the outer edges sit slightly forward, just like the image.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Neck

The neck is short and narrow. It mainly supports the large head without being visible once the collar is attached.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3-R5: sc around. (12)

Stuff firmly. Leave a long tail for sewing between head and body if working separately.

Torso

The torso is small compared with the head and widens gently toward the lower body. The doll is dressed in a jumper-style outer dress, so the torso should stay fairly simple and smooth.

Begin in cream.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. R5-R8: sc around. (24)
6. R9: 3 sc, inc x 6. (30)
7. R10-R14: sc around. (30)

Stuff the torso firmly but keep the top narrower than the hips. Fasten off if you are attaching the dress as a separate layer over the body.

Arms Make 2

The arms are straight, lightly tapered, and fairly slim. They are sewn low enough that the sleeves angle down toward the skirt.

Start in cream.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3-R5: sc around. (12)
4. R6: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
5. R7-R16: sc around. (10)

Lightly stuff the lower arm and hand area, then add only a small amount through the upper arm. Flatten the opening and sew closed.

Do not overstuff. The image shows gentle, soft sleeves rather than stiff tube arms.

Legs Make 2

The legs are long and cylindrical with very little shaping above the shoes. They extend straight from under the skirt and end in large rounded pink shoes.

Begin with cream leg color.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3-R18: sc around. (12)

Stuff evenly and firmly. Leave the top open for sewing into the lower torso. Set aside and make the shoes separately, then attach.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are oversized, rounded, and puffy at the toe, in a soft pink shade. Each shoe has a strap across the top and a rosette at the outer front side.

With pink:

1. Ch 7.
2. R1: Starting in second ch from hook, 5 sc, 3 sc in last ch, working along opposite side 4 sc, inc in last st. (14)
3. R2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. R3: 1 sc, inc, 4 sc, 1 sc, inc x 3, 4 sc, 1 sc, inc x 2. (26)
5. R4: blo sc around. (26)
6. R5: 7 sc, dec x 3, 10 sc. (23)
7. R6: 6 sc, dec x 3, 8 sc. (20)
8. R7: 5 sc, dec x 2, 7 sc, dec. (17)
9. R8-R9: sc around. (17)

Stuff the toe area very firmly to create the rounded slipper shape. Leave the back slightly flatter so the shoe can sit against the leg.

To create the Mary Jane strap, attach yarn at one side opening:

1. Ch 6, skip across top opening, sl st to opposite side.
2. Fasten off and weave in ends.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Rosettes Make 2

The rosettes are soft spiral flowers attached to the outer front side of each shoe.

With pink:

1. Ch 16.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: 2 hdc in each chain across.

Roll the strip into a spiral rose, stitch the base securely, and flatten gently. Sew one rose to the outer side of each shoe near the toe opening.

Clothing for the Main Bunny

Blouse Body Panel

The blouse is cream and mostly hidden under the brown jumper dress. The visible part is the upper chest and sleeves, so keep the surface clean and neat.

If you want the blouse integrated, you may cover the torso with a fitted cream panel. If your torso is already crocheted in cream, continue directly to the collar and sleeves.

Sleeve Covers Make 2

The visible sleeves in the image are cream with small blue teacup motifs. The easiest way to match the image is to make plain cream sleeves and embroider or surface-stitch the blue cup shapes afterward.

With cream:

1. Ch 12 and join carefully, or work around the arm directly.
2. R1-R8: sc around, fitting snugly over the arm.

Sew the sleeve covers over the arms if needed. The cuff edge can be left plain or finished with a tiny scallop:

• Scallop cuff: sl st in next st, ch 2, 2 dc in same st, sl st in next st, repeat around lightly.

Teacup Motifs

Use dusty blue yarn and a tapestry needle or surface slip stitches to add tiny teacup silhouettes on the sleeves.

• Add 2 to 3 cups on each sleeve.
• Keep them small and evenly spaced.
• Each cup can be a tiny rectangle with a curved handle and a slightly flared rim.
• Do not crowd the sleeve, because the image shows sparse motifs rather than an all-over print.

Peter Pan Collar Make 2 Front Lobes or One Joined Collar

The collar is cream, wide, and rounded, formed by two overlapping front lobes. It sits neatly above the jumper neckline.

Make 2 front lobes:

1. Ch 9.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch, 7 sc, turn. (7)
3. Row 2: ch 1, inc, 5 sc, inc, turn. (9)
4. Row 3: sc across. (9)
5. Row 4: inc, 7 sc, inc. (11)
6. Row 5: sc across. (11)
7. Row 6: dec, 7 sc, dec. (9)
8. Row 7: sc across. (9)

Fasten off, leaving tails for sewing. Shape the outer edges into soft curves while weaving in the yarn. Sew both lobes to the neckline so they overlap slightly at the center front.

Jumper Dress Bodice

The outer dress is cocoa brown with a high waist and simple bodice. The brown sits over the cream blouse and then expands into a bell-shaped skirt.

With brown:

1. Ch enough to fit around the upper torso snugly, usually about 26 to 30 stitches depending on your gauge.
2. Join without twisting.
3. R1-R5: sc around to form the bodice.

The bodice should cover the torso from just under the collar down to the waist. Test fit before continuing.

Jumper Dress Skirt

The skirt flares softly and reaches well over the legs. It is wide enough to spread while seated, which is important for the same silhouette as the image.

1. R6: 4 sc, inc around.
2. R7: sc around.
3. R8: 5 sc, inc around.
4. R9: sc around.
5. R10: 6 sc, inc around.
6. R11-R15: sc around.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Add more rounds if needed until the skirt reaches the upper shoes when the doll is seated. The lower edge should not be stiff. It should spread into a gentle dome shape over the underskirt.

Cookie Appliqués Make 5

The image shows three biscuit rectangles across the front skirt and two smaller side pieces near the dress sides. These pieces create the tearoom dessert theme and should not be skipped.

With biscuit tan:

1. Ch 6.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch, 5 sc, turn. (5)
3. Row 2-5: ch 1, 5 sc, turn.

For the side pieces, work only 4 rows if you want them slightly smaller.

Fasten off, shape into clean rectangles, and sew:

• Three larger rectangles spaced evenly across the front lower skirt
• One smaller rectangle at each side of the skirt, set slightly higher

Underskirt Extension

The cream layer under the brown skirt is visible all around the hem, with a pink ruffle peeking beneath it. This layered edge is essential to the finished look.

Attach cream yarn to the inside lower edge of the dress or make separately and sew under the skirt.

1. R1: sc evenly around.
2. R2: 4 sc, inc around.
3. R3-R4: sc around.

This cream layer should extend about 0.5 to 0.75 inch below the brown skirt.

Pink Ruffle Layer

Attach pink yarn to the lower edge of the cream underskirt.

1. R1: in flo, work 2 dc in each stitch around for a soft frill.

Do not overdo the ruffle. The image shows a narrow pink band, not a large flounce.

Cream Scalloped Hem Lace

The outermost visible hem edge has a delicate cream scallop effect. You can crochet this directly into the bottom of the cream underskirt or as a final edging.

• Pattern repeat: sl st in next st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st.
• Repeat around evenly.

This scallop should sit softly and frame the lower edge without pulling it inward.

Headband Base

The headband is a narrow taupe strip wrapped over the top of the head, with a cream band beneath a white lace frill. It resembles a soft maid or tearoom headdress.

With taupe:

1. Ch enough to stretch from one side of the head to the other over the crown, usually 24 to 28 stitches.
2. Row 1: sc across.

With cream, make a second strip of the same length but slightly wider:

1. Ch same length.
2. Row 1-2: sc across.

Layer the cream strip on the taupe strip and sew together lightly along the lower edge.

White Lace Frill

Using fine white thread and a smaller hook, attach to the top edge of the cream strip.

• Row 1: ch 1, sc evenly across.
• Row 2: 1 sc, 3 dc in next st, 1 sc, sl st in next st, repeat across for tiny shells.

The frill should stand up lightly but still look soft. Sew the finished headband over the crown so the lace sits centered above the forehead.

Accessories

Macaron Basket

The basket is low, rectangular, and warm brown with a single rounded handle. It holds four macarons in the image.

With brown:

1. Ch 9.
2. R1: starting in second ch, 7 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 6 sc along opposite side, inc in last st. (18)
3. R2: inc, 6 sc, 3 inc, 6 sc, 2 inc. (24)
4. R3: blo sc around. (24)
5. R4-R6: sc around. (24)

Flatten the sides gently into a rounded rectangle.

📌Thank you for reading the article

For the top rim:

• Sl st around or work one neat round of crab stitch if you prefer more structure.

For the handle:

1. Ch 18 to 22, depending on your gauge.
2. Row 1: sc across.

Sew each end to the inside upper edges of the basket. If you want a firmer arch, insert thin wire before closing or crochet two layers around the wire.

Macarons Make 4

Use mocha, ivory, blush pink, and mint. Each macaron is a small sandwich made from two domed shells and a contrasting filling ring if desired.

For one shell, make 2 per macaron:

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4: blo sc around. (18)

Fasten off. Make a second shell. Add a tiny amount of stuffing if you want a fuller look, then sew the two shells together with a narrow center seam or a tiny cream ring between them.

Place the four macarons in the basket close together so the colors alternate attractively.

Folded Napkin

The napkin is a tiny white square with a pink trim, folded into a small stack shape.

With white:

1. Ch 7.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch, 6 sc, turn.
3. Row 2-6: ch 1, 6 sc, turn.

Change to pink and work one round of sc evenly around the square. Fasten off.

Fold the square once or twice into a small layered bundle and stitch discreetly so it keeps the folded look shown in the image.

Mini Cat Companion

Mini Cat Head

The tiny companion at the bunny’s right side looks like a small cat or kitten wearing a black dress with a white apron and white frilled cap. Its face is simple and round, with little ears and a tiny pink nose.

With pale beige or cream:

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4: 2 sc, inc x 6. (24)
5. R5-R8: sc around. (24)

Insert 4 mm eyes between R6 and R7, spaced about 6 stitches apart.

5. R9: 2 sc, dec x 6. (18)
6. R10: 1 sc, dec x 6. (12)

Stuff lightly.

7. R11: dec x 6. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Mini Cat Ears Make 2

With matching body color:

1. R1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
2. R2: 1 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc. (6)
3. R3: sc around. (6)

Flatten slightly and sew to the top of the head.

Mini Cat Body

With black:

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: 1 sc, inc x 6. (18)
4. R4-R6: sc around. (18)
5. R7: 1 sc, dec x 6. (12)
6. R8-R9: sc around. (12)

Stuff lightly and leave a tail for attaching the head.

Mini Cat Arms Make 2

With pale beige or cream:

1. R1: 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. R2-R5: sc around. (5)

Do not overstuff. Sew to the sides of the body so they angle slightly forward.

Mini Cat Apron

With white:

1. Ch 8.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch, 7 sc, turn.
3. Row 2-4: ch 1, 7 sc, turn.

Sew to the front of the black body. Add a tiny neck strap if desired with a short chain.

Mini Cat Head Frill

With white:

1. Ch enough to curve over the cat’s head, usually 12 to 14.
2. Row 1: sc across.
3. Row 2: in every other stitch work 3 dc shell groups to form a frill.

Sew above the forehead like a small maid cap.

Mini Cat Tail

With matching body color:

1. Ch 9.
2. Starting in second chain from hook, sl st back along the chain.

Curve the tail upward and sew to the back or side of the body.

Mini Cat Face

• Embroider a tiny pink nose between the eyes.
• Add very short mouth stitches below.
• Optional tiny blush marks can be added, but keep them subtle.

Assembly

Build the Main Bunny

1. Sew the neck securely to the torso center.
2. Sew the head to the neck, checking from all sides so the face points straight forward.
3. Attach the ears to the upper sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line.
4. Let the ears fall downward naturally, brushing the shoulder area.
5. Sew the legs to the lower torso, spaced so they extend straight forward while seated.
6. Attach the shoes to the bottoms of the legs.
7. Sew the arms at the side seam just below the collar, angled gently downward.

Dress and Collar Placement

1. Fit the brown jumper bodice snugly over the torso.
2. Arrange the skirt so it spreads evenly while the bunny sits.
3. Attach the cream collar at the neckline with the two rounded lobes overlapping in front.
4. Check that the collar edges sit flat above the brown dress.
5. Position the cookie appliqués evenly across the lower skirt front and sides.

Headband Placement

1. Lay the headband over the crown from ear to ear.
2. Center the white lace portion above the forehead.
3. Sew the ends discreetly behind the ears.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

After all pieces are attached, sit the bunny upright and make small adjustments with your fingers so the skirt spreads evenly, the ears hang symmetrically, and the collar rests flat.

Check the eye placement and expression one last time. Add the embroidered nose and mouth if you have not done so already, then apply a very light blush to the cheeks for the soft, sweet finish seen in the image.

Place the basket on the bunny’s left side, the folded napkin near the front, and the mini cat on the right side for the full tearoom display.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct moisture.
• Handle the lace headband and small accessories gently.
• If gifting to a child, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes for added caution.
• Small pieces such as macarons and the mini cat are best for decorative use.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is round, smooth, and firmly stuffed
• Ears are evenly placed and softly draped
• Collar overlaps neatly at the front
• Brown skirt flares evenly while seated
• Cream underskirt and pink ruffle show clearly
• Three front cookie appliqués are centered
• Sleeve teacup motifs are balanced on both arms
• Pink shoes are rounded and both rosettes are secure
• Basket contains four macarons
• Mini cat stands or leans neatly beside the bunny

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For regular care, dust the bunny and accessories gently with a soft dry brush. Avoid pulling on the lace frill, shoe flowers, or basket handle.

If spot cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap and blot gently. Do not soak the doll, since heavy moisture can distort stuffing and shaping.

Store flat or seated in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight. Long sun exposure may fade the pink, blue, and brown tones over time.

If the doll loses shape during storage, massage the stuffing lightly back into place and reshape the skirt, ears, and collar by hand.
