Baby’s Breath Whisper Bunny – Crochet

This gentle bunny set is designed with a soft neutral palette, scalloped details, tiny floral clusters, and a sweet heirloom look that feels perfect for nursery decor, spring display, handmade gift ideas, and collectible amigurumi lovers searching for a bunny doll, crochet animal, and cottagecore stuffed toy to add to their cart.

It is a charming choice for shoppers who love artisan plush decor, handmade bunny dolls, and boutique-style nursery accessories with delicate floral accents.

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

Overview

This design recreates the complete scene shown in the image.

The bunny has a large round head, long floppy ears, a slim neck, a softly rounded torso, straight arms, narrow legs, and neat little shoes.

The clothing is a separate cream sweater and a two-tier beige skirt with white scalloped trim.

The floral theme appears in several places.

You will add tiny bobble-like baby’s breath blossoms to the headband, sweater front, skirt tiers, shoes, drawstring bag, and the bird companion.

The finished bunny should look polished but soft, with calm proportions and a sweet face.

The head is noticeably larger than the body.

The ears fall down along the sides of the head.

The skirt stands out slightly to create a bell-like silhouette.

Materials

  • Main yarn colors: light beige, warm cream, soft white, light brown, medium brown, pale pink, and a small amount of green
  • Hook: use a hook that gives tight stitches for amigurumi; for DK or light worsted cotton, a 2.25 mm to 3 mm hook works well
  • Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
  • Safety eyes: small black eyes, about 8 mm to 10 mm
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Scissors
  • Optional: blush, fabric glue for secured floral positioning, thin cardboard insert for the tiny note card

Abbreviations

  • MR = magic ring
  • ch = chain
  • sc = single crochet
  • inc = 2 sc in 1 stitch
  • dec = invisible decrease
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • FLO = front loop only
  • BLO = back loop only
  • bobble = 3 dc cluster closed together in one stitch, or use a small puff if preferred

Gauge and Finished Size

Gauge is not critical, but tight stitches matter.

The main bunny should stand roughly 10 to 12 inches tall from feet to top of headband, depending on yarn thickness and stuffing firmness.

The bird companion should be about one-third the height of the bunny body.

The bag should reach just above the bunny’s ankle when placed beside it.

Color Placement Notes

  • Use light beige for head, ears, legs, and skirt
  • Use warm cream or ivory for hands, sweater, shoe trim, and headband blossoms
  • Use soft white for scallops and floral dots
  • Use green only for tiny stems and leaf accents
  • Use light brown or taupe embroidery for nose and mouth
  • Use medium brown and cream for the bird

Insert eyes between Rounds 13 and 14 with about 10 stitches between them.

The face in the image is soft and low-set, so do not place the eyes too high.

Keep them slightly wider than average for a gentle expression.

  1. Round 19: (7 sc, dec) x6. (48)
  2. Round 20: (6 sc, dec) x6. (42)
  3. Round 21: (5 sc, dec) x6. (36)
  4. Round 22: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)

Stuff firmly and shape the cheeks evenly.

The head should stay round, not oval.

  1. Round 23: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
  2. Round 24: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
  3. Round 25: (sc, dec) x6. (12)

Fasten off if making the head separately, or continue into a short neck tube if you prefer joining directly.

Muzzle and Face Embroidery

The image shows a very subtle raised muzzle area, not a pronounced snout.

You can create that effect in two ways.

  • Either lightly sculpt the face with thread under the eyes
  • Or stitch a tiny horizontal nose over a softly padded center point

Using taupe or pale brown yarn, embroider a small triangle or short horizontal satin stitch nose between Rounds 14 and 15.

Add a short vertical line downward.

Then add a very tiny split smile, only one stitch to each side.

Use pale pink blush under the eyes if desired.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, flattened, and softly tapered with rounded ends.

They are attached high on the sides, then allowed to drape.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
  5. Rounds 5-9: sc around. (24)
  6. Round 10: (10 sc, dec) x2. (22)
  7. Rounds 11-16: sc around. (22)
  8. Round 17: (9 sc, dec) x2. (20)
  9. Rounds 18-24: sc around. (20)

Flatten the ear opening and seam closed only partly, leaving the lower end open enough for shaping at attachment.

Do not stuff the ears.

If you want a gentle bend, place a tiny bit of stuffing only at the very top 1 inch of each ear.

Body

The torso is smaller than the head and mostly hidden by the sweater and skirt.

Keep it simple, neat, and slightly pear-shaped.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
  5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
  6. Rounds 6-10: sc around. (30)
  7. Round 11: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
  8. Rounds 12-15: sc around. (24)
  9. Round 16: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
  10. Rounds 17-18: sc around. (18)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff firmly.

Leave a long tail for sewing to the head if made separately.

The neck should look slender but stable.

Legs Make 2

The legs are slim cylinders.

The feet are covered by separate shoes, so the base can stay simple.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rounds 3-5: sc around. (12)
  4. Round 6: BLO sc around. (12)
  5. Rounds 7-18: sc around. (12)

Stuff lightly at the lower half and more firmly at the upper half so the legs stay upright.

Fasten off first leg.

Make second leg, do not fasten off if you want to join the legs and build upward, though for this design sewing legs to the body later gives easier clothing placement.

Arms Make 2

The arms are modestly thick at the shoulder and slightly tapered at the wrist.

The cuffs show a color contrast from cream hands to ivory sleeves.

  1. With cream for hand, Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rounds 3-4: sc around. (12)
  4. Change to sweater color
  5. Rounds 5-12: sc around. (12)
  6. Round 13: (4 sc, dec) x2. (10)
  7. Rounds 14-15: sc around. (10)

Stuff lightly, flatten the top, and sew closed.

The arms in the image angle gently downward, not straight outward.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are low, rounded, and trimmed softly.

They resemble gentle Mary Jane flats without a strap crossing the top.

There are tiny white blossom accents near the front edge.

  1. With beige, ch 6
  2. Round 1: sc in second ch from hook, 3 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side, 3 sc, 2 sc in last ch. (12)
  3. Round 2: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc. (18)
  4. Round 3: sc around in BLO. (18)
  5. Rounds 4-5: sc around. (18)
  6. Round 6: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
  7. Round 7: 4 sc, 3 dec, 4 sc. (11)

Fasten off.

Using white, join at heel and work a simple scalloped trim in the front loops around opening.

A neat trim can be made with (sl st, ch 2, 2 dc in same stitch, sl st in next stitch) repeated around with spacing adjusted as needed.

Sew a tiny cluster of 2 or 3 white bobbles on the top front of each shoe.

Sweater

The sweater is cream, slightly cropped, and sits over the top of the skirt.

It has long sleeves, a simple round neckline, and a scalloped lower edge.

The front is decorated with a vertical spray of baby’s breath blossoms and thin green embroidered stems.

You may work the sweater in joined rounds from the neck downward, then add sleeves.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Yoke

  1. Ch 30, join carefully without twisting
  2. Round 1: sc around. (30)
  3. Round 2: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
  4. Round 3: sc around. (36)
  5. Round 4: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
  6. Round 5: sc around. (42)

Try the yoke over the head before continuing.

It should fit cleanly without stretching too hard.

Separate Sleeves and Body

Mark 8 stitches for each sleeve and 13 stitches each for front and back, adjusting by one stitch if needed for symmetry.

Work across the back, chain underarm stitches, skip sleeve stitches, work front, chain underarm stitches, skip second sleeve.

Continue on body.

  1. Body Rounds 1-6: sc around evenly

The sweater should stop just at the upper skirt line.

For the hem, add a small shell edging.

Use (sl st in next stitch, 3 dc in next stitch) around, spacing to create the same small rounded scallops seen in the photo.

Sleeves

Join yarn at armhole.

  1. Sleeve Rounds 1-8: sc around evenly
  2. Final Round: sc around in cream or white for a soft cuff line

The sleeves should be straight and relaxed, ending just above the hands.

Front Floral Embellishment

Using green embroidery yarn, stitch two thin branching stems on the front right-center of the sweater.

Add 5 to 7 tiny white bobbles as blossoms.

Cluster them more densely near the middle and top, matching the image.

Keep the decoration light and airy.

Skirt

The skirt is a two-tier piece in beige with white scalloped edging on both tiers.

It sits under the sweater and flares gently outward.

Tiny white flower dots are attached across both layers.

You can make the skirt separately and sew or tack it around the waist.

Upper Tier

  1. Ch enough to fit around body waist comfortably, about 30 to 36 stitches depending on gauge, join
  2. Round 1: sc around
  3. Round 2: (4 sc, inc) around for a gentle flare
  4. Rounds 3-5: sc or hdc around evenly

The fabric in the image looks slightly relaxed, so using hdc for some rounds is a nice option if you want a softer drape.

Add the hem in white using a shell or scallop repeat.

A good edging is (skip 1, 5 dc in next, skip 1, sl st in next) around.

Lower Tier

Join beige yarn to a lower round of the upper tier or create a separate tier and sew it under the first.

  1. Start with slightly more stitches than the upper tier
  2. Work 4 to 5 rounds evenly
  3. Add mild increases in the first round if needed so the lower tier extends wider than the upper tier

Finish with the same white scalloped border.

📌Thank you for reading the article

The second tier should peek below the first by about half an inch to one inch.

Skirt Blossoms

Make 10 to 14 tiny blossom dots.

Each can be a small bobble, popcorn, French-knot style crochet nub, or a cluster made from (ch 2, 3 dc cluster).

Sew them across both tiers in irregular spacing.

The image shows a light scattered arrangement, not a dense all-over pattern.

Floral Headband

The headband frames the top of the head and continues down alongside the ears.

It is one of the key details that makes the bunny match the photo.

  1. With beige or cream, chain a length that fits from one lower side of the head, up over the crown, and down to the other side
  2. Work 2 rows of sc for a narrow band

Do not make it too wide.

It should look like a slim fabric-covered floral band rather than a bulky crown.

Sew the band in place after the ears are attached.

Then make 16 to 22 tiny white bobbles.

Attach them closely together along the entire visible outer edge of the band.

Continue a few blossoms slightly down the sides near the ears.

Drawstring Flower Bag

The bag is small, cylindrical, and worked in beige.

It sits to the bunny’s left and holds a bouquet of baby’s breath stems.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
  4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
  5. Rounds 5-11: sc around. (24)
  6. Round 12: BLO sc around. (24)
  7. Round 13: sc around. (24)
  8. Round 14: (ch 1, skip 1, sc in next) around to make drawstring holes
  9. Round 15: sc around, placing 1 sc in each ch space and stitch

Make a long chain for the cord.

Weave it through Round 14 and leave long tails on both sides.

The image shows the cord extending loosely onto the table.

Lightly stuff the base if you want the bag to stand upright.

Bag Bouquet

Make 8 to 12 thin green stems.

Each stem can be a short strand of yarn or a chain with a few tiny side branches.

Add a small white bobble or knot blossom to the top of each stem.

Insert and sew the cluster into the bag opening.

Bird Companion

The little bird wears a bonnet-like hood, a cream top, a beige skirt, and carries a tiny bag with white flowers.

This part is small, but it matters because it completes the exact scene.

Bird Body and Head

Use medium brown for the head and body.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
  4. Rounds 4-7: sc around. (18)
  5. Round 8: (sc, dec) x6. (12)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert very small safety eyes between Rounds 4 and 5.

Add a tiny gray or beige beak with embroidery or a few stitches.

Continue the body if desired by adding a small lower section, or simply shape the lower area with stuffing and sewing.

Bird Wings

Make 2 tiny wings in brown.

  1. 6 sc in MR
  2. Round 2: (sc, inc) x3. (9)
  3. Round 3: sc around

Flatten and sew to the sides.

Bird Hood

Make a beige cap that frames the face and ties under the beak.

Start with a small circle, increase to fit over the head, then add side rows if needed.

Edge it with a few tiny white or pale pink blossoms on one side.

Add a chain tie and knot it loosely under the face.

Bird Outfit

  • Small cream wrap or top covering the upper chest
  • Mini beige skirt with white scallop trim
  • Tiny beige bag with white blossoms

Keep these pieces minimal but clearly visible.

The bird should look like a companion dressed to match the bunny.

Folded Cloth

The folded cloth in the image is rectangular, cream, and finished with a white scalloped edge.

It has pink and green embroidered floral details.

  1. Ch 14
  2. Rows 1-10: sc across, ch 1, turn

Add a white scalloped edging around the rectangle.

Embroider two small pink flowers with green stems near one corner.

Fold the cloth once or twice and tack it lightly so it keeps the folded display shape.

Tiny Stitched Note Card

The note card is small, square, and off-white with tiny colored stitched lines.

You can make it from crochet or layered fabric-like crochet panels.

  1. Ch 8
  2. Rows 1-8: sc across

Make two identical squares if you want a thicker card.

Join them together or sew one onto thin cardboard hidden inside.

Add very tiny embroidered lines in green and red or pink.

Keep them decorative and delicate rather than fully readable.

Assembly Order

  1. Sew head to body
  2. Attach legs evenly to lower body
  3. Place arms slightly below neckline and angle them downward
  4. Sew ears high on the head sides so they fall beside the cheeks
  5. Attach the headband over the crown and down toward the ear line
  6. Dress the bunny with skirt first, then sweater
  7. Slide on shoes and tack if needed
  8. Sew floral embellishments to sweater, skirt, shoes, and headband

Check the balance after every step.

The bunny in the image stands centered and calm, so symmetry matters.

Styling Notes for an Accurate Finish

  • Head: keep it large and round
  • Eyes: glossy, low, and evenly spaced
  • Ears: long enough to fall past the shoulder line
  • Sweater: plain body with one front floral spray only
  • Skirt: exactly two visible tiers with white scallops
  • Flowers: tiny, raised, and scattered in light clusters
  • Palette: only soft neutrals with restrained pink and green accents

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sculpt the face very lightly if needed so the eyes sit in a gentle, sweet expression.

Add the nose and short mouth with neat embroidery.

Position the ears so both drape naturally.

Finish by adjusting the blossoms and smoothing the skirt tiers for a balanced silhouette.

Care Notes

Display pieces with many small embellishments are best kept out of rough play.

Store away from direct sun to protect the neutral yarn shades.

If the bunny is used as decor, dust it gently every so often and keep the floral details from snagging.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head larger than body
  • Ears long and floppy
  • Two-tier skirt with white scallops
  • Cream sweater with front floral spray
  • Headband fully dotted with white blossoms
  • Shoes decorated with tiny white flower clusters
  • Bag, bird, cloth, and note card all included

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap.

Do not twist or wring the pieces.

Reshape while damp and dry flat on a towel.

For long-term storage, wrap in acid-free tissue and keep in a breathable box to protect the tiny floral details and embroidery.
