Camellia Couture Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi set is designed for makers who love a handmade bunny doll with a polished boutique look. The main bunny wears a rose-trimmed headband, a fitted jacket, a softly flared skirt, and sweet flower shoes, creating the feel of a collectible spring heirloom and a charming giftable crochet doll.

You will also make the matching accessories shown in the image: a floral handbag, a tiny bouquet, a lace-style mat, and a small companion with a skirt, hat, and flowers. This full set has the appeal of a nursery decor piece, baby shower gift, amigurumi keepsake, and artisan toy 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 set is built around a soft beige-and-rose palette with white accents. The main bunny has a large round head, long floppy ears, a neat cylindrical neck, a compact torso, slim arms, straight legs, and flat Mary Jane style shoes. The outfit is refined rather than bulky.

The cardigan sits close to the body and ends at the high waist. The skirt begins directly under the cardigan and falls to knee level with openwork detail near the lower half and a scalloped edge. Floral trims are repeated throughout the set for a coordinated couture finish.

The smaller companion echoes the same styling language. It wears a white top, pink skirt, and a tiny hat trimmed with a rose. The handbag is structured and upright, with a large layered flower on the front. A tiny bouquet completes the display.

Skill Level

Intermediate. A patient beginner can make this set if they are comfortable with working in spirals, shaping with increases and decreases, joining neat garment edges, and sewing small decorative parts with care.

Place the eyes centered on the face, about 10 to 12 stitches apart. For the gentle look in the image, position them slightly below the midpoint of the head rather than high on the forehead. Stuff firmly, but do not overfill the face.

Embroider a tiny pale pink triangular nose between the eyes and slightly below. Extend a very short straight line downward, then add a tiny split mouth. Keep this detail delicate. The face in the image is minimal, soft, and sweet, not heavily sculpted.

1. (8 sc, dec) around. (54)
2. (7 sc, dec) around. (48)
3. (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
4. (5 sc, dec) around. (36)
5. (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
6. (3 sc, dec) around. (24)

Finish stuffing. Leave a long tail for joining to the neck and body. The head should remain very round, with only a slight flattening at the bottom.

Ears Make 2

1. With beige, make 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Sc around for 22 to 26 rounds.

Flatten each ear lightly. Do not stuff, or add only a touch of stuffing at the base. The ears should drape straight down the sides of the head. Sew them high on the head, beginning slightly behind the side eye line so they frame the face exactly like the image.

Neck and Body

The bunny in the image has a narrow neck, a modest chest, and a softly rounded lower body hidden under the clothing. You can make the body as one piece from the neck downward for a stable display shape.

1. With beige, make 12 sc in MR or ch 2 and work 12 sc in second ch from hook. (12)
2. Sc around for 3 rounds to form the neck.
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Sc around.
5. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
6. Sc around.
7. (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
8. Sc around for 6 rounds.
9. (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
10. Sc around.

Stuff the upper body firmly. This body should not be large because the outfit must remain tailored. The skirt begins at a high waist, so keep the shape trim through the chest and only gently rounded below.

Legs Make 2

1. With white, ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sc 5, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side, sc 4, inc in last st. (14)
3. Inc, sc 4, inc x3, sc 4, inc x2. (20)
4. Sc around in BLO. (20)

Switch to pink and work one round even. Switch back to white for the upper foot opening if desired, then continue leg shaping in beige from the ankle upward. The image shows pink shoes with white upper foot exposure, so this color placement matters.

1. With beige, dec 4 spread evenly to narrow ankle. (16)
2. Sc around for 10 to 12 rounds.

Stuff the feet firmly and the legs moderately. Sew legs under the body so the bunny stands or sits balanced. The feet should point forward and remain flat on the surface.

Arms Make 2

1. With white, make 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc around for 2 rounds.
4. Switch to beige and dec twice evenly. (10)
5. Sc around for 14 to 16 rounds.

Add only light stuffing to the hand area. Leave the upper arm soft so it can rest naturally at the sides. Sew the arms just below the neckline, angled slightly downward. The bunny in the photo has relaxed arms, not raised arms.

Main Outfit

Cardigan

This cardigan is worked in rows to create an open front. It is short, fitted, and finished with a white and pink trim. The sleeves are long and narrow, ending in white cuffs.

Measure around the bunny’s upper torso. Chain enough stitches to wrap across the back and both fronts, allowing for a slight opening in the center. For the size above, begin with about 30 to 34 chains.

1. With beige, ch 32.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. Ch 1, turn.
3. Rows 2 to 8: Sc across. Ch 1, turn.

Mark front panels, armholes, and back. Fold against the body to check fit. Join shoulder seams with slip stitch or sewing, leaving arm openings. Work sleeves directly around each armhole.

1. Sleeves: With beige, attach yarn and work 14 to 16 sc evenly around armhole.
2. Work 10 to 12 rounds even, tapering by 2 stitches near the cuff if needed.
3. Switch to white for 1 round.
4. Add a final dusty pink edging round.

For the front and hem trim, attach white and work a neat round of sc around the cardigan opening and lower edge. Then add a pink round or surface trim just inside or outside the white line. This layered trim is important for the couture look.

Skirt

The skirt sits high on the waist and has a smooth upper band, then gradually opens into a wider lower section. Near the bottom, there is airy detail and a scalloped hem. The rose spiral decoration is attached on one side near the lower skirt.

1. With pink, chain to fit the waist snugly, about 36 to 42 chains. Join without twisting.
2. Rounds 1 to 4: Sc evenly around.
3. Round 5: (5 sc, inc) around.
4. Round 6: Sc around.
5. Round 7: (6 sc, inc) around.
6. Rounds 8 to 10: Hdc around.

To mimic the subtle lace effect in the image, add spaced openings only in the lower half. Keep them restrained. The skirt in the photo is not very open; it reads as elegant structure with small airy accents.

1. Round 11: (2 dc, ch 1, skip 1) around.
2. Round 12: Dc in each dc and 1 dc in each ch-1 space.
3. Round 13: Hdc around.
4. Round 14: Scallop edge by working (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) across every 4 to 5 stitches as needed.

Sew or slip stitch the skirt to the waistline if you prefer a fixed outfit. The image suggests the skirt fits smoothly under the cardigan, with no bunching at the waist.

Mary Jane Shoes and Side Flowers

If your leg base already includes the shoe, add the strap detail afterward. With pink, embroider or crochet a narrow strap across the front of each foot. Add a tiny side flower to the outer ankle area on both shoes.

Make each flower from a short strip or tiny spiral rose in white with a pink center, then sew securely. These shoe flowers are small but visible, so do not skip them.

Headband

Chain a strip in pink long enough to wrap around the head above the eyes and over the tops of the ears. Work 2 to 3 rows of sc for a tidy band. Sew around the head securely but not too tight.

The large layered camellia sits on the right side of the bunny’s head from the viewer’s perspective. It is oversized and should slightly overlap the forehead and upper ear area.

Large Layered Camellia

Make three flower layers in pink and white. Each layer should have rounded petals rather than pointed petals. You may use the same petal logic in graduated sizes.

1. Layer 1, white: 6 sc in MR, then work 6 petals around the ring. Each petal: ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st.
2. Layer 2, pink: Make slightly larger petals with ch 3, 4 dc, ch 3, sl st around a center ring.
3. Layer 3, pink rose center: Crochet a narrow strip such as ch 18, then work 2 dc in each chain to form a ruffle. Roll tightly into a spiral.

Stack white behind pink, then place the spiral rose center on top. Sew securely and shape the petals by hand so the bloom looks full and dimensional, matching the image.

Chest Flower

Make a second layered flower, slightly smaller than the head flower, and attach it to the right front cardigan panel near the shoulder. This bloom visually anchors the outfit and should sit high on the chest.

Handbag

The handbag is a structured beige tote with rounded top handles, a pink top trim, and a large front flower with green leaves. It should stand upright beside the bunny.

Bag Body

1. With beige, ch 13.
2. Work an oval base around the chain for 3 rounds until the base is about 2.5 inches wide.
3. Work 8 to 10 rounds sc in BLO to raise the sides.

If you want a crisp display shape, insert a piece of cardboard or plastic canvas into the base and line the inside with a simple crochet panel. Keep the body plain, because the flower decoration is the focal point.

Handles

1. Mark two handle positions.
2. Attach beige yarn and chain 16 to 20 for the first handle, depending on desired curve.
3. Join on the opposite side and cover the chain with sc.
4. Repeat for second handle.

Add one pink edging round along the top of the bag. Sew a layered flower to the center front and add two or three green leaves tucked behind it.

Bouquet

The bouquet contains several small spiral roses in pink, dusty rose, and cream tones, gathered with green stems. Make at least five flowers for the main bouquet and three tiny flowers for the companion if you want the same visual balance as the image.

Mini Spiral Roses

1. Ch 16 to 22 depending on flower size.
2. Starting in second ch: work 2 sc in each chain for a tighter rose, or 2 hdc in each chain for a softer rose.
3. Roll from one end into a spiral and sew the base.

For leaves, chain 6. Work along both sides with sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st. Stitch leaves beneath selected flowers. Join stems by wrapping floral tape, green yarn, or by crocheting slim i-cord style cords around wire.

Lace-Style Mat

This small cream square looks like a decorative doily or handkerchief. It brings softness to the set display. Keep it flat and lightly open.

1. With cream, ch 16.
2. Rows 1 to 6: Work dc mesh using dc, ch 1, skip 1.
3. Add a simple shell border: 5 dc in one space, sc in next space, repeat around.

The exact motif can vary, but the overall look should remain delicate and pale, with openwork detail.

Small Companion

The small companion has long floppy ears, a pale head, dark bead eyes, a small protruding nose area, a white upper body, a pink skirt, and a tiny pink-trimmed hat with a rose. In the image, the face reads slightly more puppy-like than the main bunny, but it still harmonizes beautifully with the set.

Head

1. With beige, make 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc to 12, then to 18, then to 24.
3. Sc around for 6 rounds.

Insert tiny black eyes. Add a small beige muzzle if desired by making 6 sc in MR, then a second round of 6 sc. Sew low on the face and embroider a tiny black or dark brown nose. Keep it subtle.

1. Decrease back to 18 and close after stuffing.

Ears

1. Make 2 small flat ears beginning with 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12, then work even for 10 to 12 rounds.

Body

1. With white, make 6 sc in MR.
2. Increase to 12, then 18.
3. Work even for 4 rounds.
4. Switch to pink and increase slightly for skirt flare.
5. Work 3 to 4 rounds of hdc or dc for the skirt.

Add tiny arms in white and tiny legs in beige or white. The proportions should stay petite, with the head slightly larger than the body.

Tiny Hat

1. With beige, make 6 sc in MR, increase to 18 or 24 for a shallow cap.
2. Work 2 rounds even.
3. Add a pink band around the base.
4. Make one tiny pink rose and sew to the side.

Color Placement Notes

• Main bunny: beige head, ears, arms, body, and legs
• Main cardigan and skirt: pale pink with white trim and pink accent edging

• Head flower and chest flower: layered pink and white
• Bag: beige with pink trim, pink-and-white flower, green leaves

Shaping and Styling Tips

• Use a smaller hook than usual for clean, tight stitches.
• Keep the head very round and the face uncluttered.
• Do not overstuff the arms or ears.
• Block or steam the skirt and cardigan lightly for crisp edges.
• Shape each flower by hand after sewing.
• Check symmetry before permanently attaching accessories.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head to the body first, then attach arms and ears. Dress the bunny with the skirt and cardigan, then add shoes, headband, head flower, and chest flower. Embroider the tiny pink nose and short mouth last so the face stays centered and calm.

Arrange the handbag, bouquet, lace-style mat, and companion close to the main bunny for the same styled presentation seen in the image.
