Hydrangea Mist Bunny – Crochet

This soft pastel set brings together a dressed bunny, a tiny cat friend, a striped handbag, a flower bouquet, and a small lace mat in a gentle spring display. The finished look feels collectible and gift-ready, like a handmade stuffed bunny doll set, boutique amigurumi decor, or heirloom nursery toy.

The palette is designed to echo popular search-friendly styles such as pastel crochet bunny, floral amigurumi doll, handmade Easter bunny decor, and collectible crochet animal set. Every piece is shaped to match the image closely, with rounded forms, delicate floral texture, and elegant accessories that look charming in photos or shop listings.

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 pattern creates:

• One standing bunny with long drooping ears
• One brimmed hat with hydrangea cluster trim
• One textured floral bodice dress with paneled skirt
• One pair of Mary Jane style shoes with flower trim
• One striped mini handbag with flower accent
• One tiny cat in a matching dress and hat
• One small bouquet
• One small lace square mat

The bunny is the main figure and should stand roughly 11 to 12 inches tall from foot to top of head, not including the hat crown. The cat should be about 4 1/2 to 5 inches tall. Exact size will vary with yarn and tension, but the proportions matter more than the final height.

Materials

• Main bunny and cat body color: light warm cream
• Pastel blue
• Pastel lavender
• Soft blush pink
• Soft ivory
• Leaf green
• Light tan and ginger for cat patches
• Black embroidery floss for lashes or optional detailing
• Soft pink embroidery floss for nose and mouth
• 6 mm safety eyes for cat
• 8 mm safety eyes for bunny
• 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm crochet hook
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Thin cardboard or plastic canvas for optional sole inserts
• Craft wire, optional, for bouquet stems
• Fabric glue, optional, only if you prefer secured floral layering

Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• inc = 2 sc in same stitch
• dec = invisible decrease
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• BLO = back loop only
• FLO = front loop only
• st = stitch

Gauge and Style Notes

Use a tight amigurumi tension so the stuffing does not show through. The body, limbs, ears, and hat should all look smooth and compact, with small even stitches. The floral dress texture is built from many separate bobble-like flowers, so keep those stitches firm and rounded.

The figures in the image have a calm, polished appearance. Avoid loose shaping. Stuff each part gradually and evenly. The bunny has a rounded head, narrow neck, slim torso, modestly wide hips, and long straight legs. The arms are lightly curved and hang downward at rest.

Color Placement Notes

• The bunny body is entirely cream.
• The hat is cream with a slim pale blue band and a floral cluster in blue, lavender, ivory, and a touch of green.
• The dress has a dense floral bodice in pale blue, lavender, and ivory.
• The skirt uses blue granny-square style panels framed with cream.
• The skirt edge has cream scallops over a blue underscallop trim.
• The shoes are blush pink with blue and lavender floral accents.
• The handbag is striped cream, blue, and blush with a matching floral accent.
• The cat wears blue clothing with a flower corsage.

Bunny Head

Crochet in continuous rounds with cream yarn.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. (3 sc, inc) x6. 30
6. (4 sc, inc) x6. 36
7. (5 sc, inc) x6. 42
8. (6 sc, inc) x6. 48
9. (7 sc, inc) x6. 54
10. (8 sc, inc) x6. 60
11. Sc around for 12 rounds. 60

Insert 8 mm eyes between rounds 16 and 17 with about 11 visible stitches between them. In the image, the eyes sit low enough to allow a soft forehead and a broad hat brim above, but not so low that the muzzle crowds them.

1. (8 sc, dec) x6. 54
2. (7 sc, dec) x6. 48
3. (6 sc, dec) x6. 42
4. (5 sc, dec) x6. 36

Begin stuffing firmly. Keep the cheeks full and the lower face gently rounded.

1. (4 sc, dec) x6. 30
2. (3 sc, dec) x6. 24
3. (2 sc, dec) x6. 18

Finish stuffing. Close later if you prefer sewing to a neck opening, or continue into the neck if you want the head joined by crochet. For the cleanest shaping, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Bunny Muzzle and Facial Shape

The muzzle in the image is very subtle. It is not a protruding snout. Instead, lightly sculpt the face after stuffing:

• Use a long strand of cream yarn to pull a very slight inward dip between the eyes.
• Keep the cheeks rounded and soft.
• Embroider a tiny pink triangle nose centered two rounds below the eye line.
• From the bottom point of the nose, stitch a short vertical line downward.
• Add a tiny split mouth with one short stitch to each side.
• Blend a whisper of blush under the eyes if desired.

Bunny Ears Make 2

The ears are long, narrow, and softly drooping. They are not heavily stuffed. Crochet in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. Sc around for 6 rounds. 24
6. (2 sc, dec) x6. 18
7. Sc around for 18 to 22 rounds. 18

Flatten the top opening. Do not stuff except for a tiny pinch near the top if you want a soft fold. Sew the ears to the head slightly behind the horizontal eye line, one on each side. Let them fall straight down, just brushing the shoulders.

Bunny Neck and Body

The bunny body is slim through the chest and fuller at the lower torso to support the skirt. Crochet in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. Sc around 2 rounds. 24
6. (3 sc, inc) x6. 30
7. Sc around 2 rounds. 30
8. (4 sc, inc) x6. 36
9. Sc around 3 rounds. 36

📌Thank you for reading the article

This forms the lower torso and hip area. The image shows a modest, childlike silhouette rather than a very wide dress form body.

1. (4 sc, dec) x6. 30
2. Sc around 2 rounds. 30
3. (3 sc, dec) x6. 24
4. Sc around 2 rounds. 24

Stuff firmly, especially the base. Leave long tail for sewing the head. The neck should remain narrow enough that the dress neckline sits cleanly around it.

Bunny Legs Make 2

The legs are straight and moderately long, with rounded feet hidden mostly by shoes. Crochet in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. Sc around 2 rounds. 24
6. (6 sc, dec) x3. 21
7. Sc around. 21
8. (5 sc, dec) x3. 18
9. Sc around 18 to 22 rounds. 18

Stuff the feet firmly and the legs moderately. Flatten the top and sew to the lower body so the legs sit close together. The image shows the bunny standing with feet slightly apart but aligned forward.

Bunny Arms Make 2

The arms are slim, gently tapered, and slightly bent inward. Crochet in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. (sc, inc) x3. 9
3. Sc around 2 rounds. 9
4. (2 sc, inc) x3. 12
5. Sc around 12 to 14 rounds. 12
6. (4 sc, dec) x2. 10
7. Sc around 2 rounds. 10

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten the top and sew at the sides of the upper body, angled slightly downward so the hands rest near the skirt level. This angle is important for matching the photo.

Bunny Shoes Make 2

The shoes look like soft pastel Mary Janes in blush pink with a narrow blue cuff trim and clustered flowers at the outer front edge.

Sole

Using blush pink:

1. Ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: 5 sc, 3 sc in last st, work on opposite side: 4 sc, inc. 14
3. inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20
4. Sc around in BLO. 20
5. Sc around. 20

Upper

1. 4 sc, dec x3, 7 sc. 17
2. Sc around. 17
3. Change to pale blue, sc around. 17

Fasten off. Slip onto foot and sew neatly. Add a tiny blush strap across the top if desired, but keep it subtle because the image emphasizes the floral trim more than the strap.

Shoe Flowers Make 4 Small Puff Flowers

Make 2 in blue and 2 in lavender. For each flower:

• MR, [ch 2, 3 dc cluster, ch 2, sl st] x4.
• Pull closed tightly.

Sew two flowers to each shoe at the outer front side. Add one tiny ivory knot center if desired.

Bunny Hat

The hat is a shallow cloche style with a rounded crown, a gently flared brim, and a slim blue band. Crochet in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. (3 sc, inc) x6. 30
6. (4 sc, inc) x6. 36
7. (5 sc, inc) x6. 42
8. (6 sc, inc) x6. 48
9. (7 sc, inc) x6. 54

Try on the bunny head. Increase one more round to 60 if needed, but keep the fit snug. The hat in the image sits low over the forehead without looking oversized.

1. Sc around 8 rounds. 54
2. Change to pale blue and work 1 round sl st or surface line for the band.
3. Return to cream. Work 1 round in BLO. 54
4. (8 sc, inc) x6. 60
5. (9 sc, inc) x6. 66
6. Sc around 2 rounds. 66

Finish with a slightly firm edge. Steam lightly or shape with fingers so the brim curls down just a little at the outer edge.

Hat Flower Cluster

Create one hydrangea-style cluster using 9 to 12 tiny flowers in blue, lavender, and ivory. Make each tiny flower as follows:

• MR, [ch 1, 2 dc, ch 1, sl st] x4 for a 4-petal flower.

Make:

• 5 blue flowers
• 3 lavender flowers
• 2 ivory flowers
• 2 small green leaves

For each leaf: ch 5, sl st in second ch, sc, hdc, sc, sl st into base. Sew the flowers in a dense cluster on the right side of the hat brim seam area. The cluster should look rounded, not spread flat.

Bunny Floral Bodice

The bodice is the key visual detail. It looks like a fitted sleeveless top completely covered in small hydrangea puffs. Work it as a separate garment so the body remains neat underneath.

Begin with a cream foundation fitted to the torso.

1. Ch enough to fit around the upper torso snugly, usually 28 to 32 chains depending on gauge.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Work 3 to 4 rounds of sc in cream.
4. On the final round, decrease slightly at the underarm area so the top hugs the chest.

Now add flower puffs directly onto the bodice. Use pale blue, lavender, and ivory in a scattered but dense arrangement.

Small Bobble Flower Motif

• Join color in any stitch.
• Make a 4-dc bobble in one stitch, ch 1, sl st in same stitch.
• Skip 1 or 2 stitches, then repeat.

Build the bodice with rows of these tiny bobble flowers until most cream background is hidden. Keep the neckline open and smooth. The flowers should rise from the surface and create a plush clustered texture like hydrangea petals.

At the top edge, add a narrow cream edging. Leave shoulder openings minimal. Sew or fasten the bodice to the bunny, making sure the neckline sits straight and the floral texture reaches slightly above the bust line exactly as shown.

Bunny Skirt

The skirt has structured square panels, cream framing lines, and double scalloped edging. It should sit just above the knees, with a soft flare but not a stiff bell shape.

Waistband

• Using cream, ch to fit around the lower torso at the waist.
• Join and work 2 rounds of sc.

Panel Foundation

Make 6 small granny-style squares, mostly blue with lavender centers, then join around the waistband.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Mini Granny Panel Make 6

1. With lavender, MR, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, [3 dc, ch 2] x3, sl st to join.
2. Change to blue. In each corner work 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. Between corners work 3 dc in each space.
3. Change to cream and work one final framing round in sc, placing 3 sc in each corner.

These panels should be small enough that six of them circle the skirt with slight spacing. Join them side by side with cream whipstitch or slip stitch. Sew the joined strip to the waistband.

Fill any gaps above the panels with cream stitches so the skirt hangs evenly. The photo shows visible cream vertical divisions between square panels, so do not hide those joining lines.

Upper Skirt Shaping

Between the waistband and the square panels, add short cream sections if needed to create the same proportion as the image. The skirt should begin right under the floral bodice and transition clearly into the paneled section.

Lower Edging

First work a pale blue underscallop round around the bottom. Then overlay a cream scallop edge slightly higher so both colors are visible.

Blue Underscallop

• Join blue at lower edge.
• Repeat around: skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st.

Cream Upper Scallop

• Join cream one round above the blue edge.
• Repeat around: skip 2 sts, 6 hdc in next st, skip 2 sts, sl st in next st.

This creates the layered scalloped finish seen in the image, with cream as the dominant outer edge and blue peeking beneath.

Mini Handbag

The handbag is small, rounded, and vertically striped in cream, blue, and blush. It has a short double handle and a hydrangea flower accent.

Bag Base

Using blush pink:

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. Sc around in BLO. 24

Bag Body

Work even rounds in color sequence to resemble the picture:

• 2 rounds cream
• 1 round blue
• 2 rounds cream
• 1 round blush
• 1 round cream

Continue until the bag height looks proportional, about 8 to 9 total side rounds. Lightly stuff or place a removable tissue filler for display.

Handles Make 2

• With blush, ch 14 to 16.
• Work back with sl st or sc.

Sew both ends of each handle to the inside upper rim so the two handles stand upright. Attach a 3-flower cluster in blue, lavender, and ivory on one upper side.

Bouquet

The bouquet is small and compact, with blue and lavender blossoms, ivory fillers, and green stems wrapped together.

Flowers

Make:

• 4 blue tiny flowers
• 2 lavender tiny flowers
• 2 ivory filler knots or mini flowers
• 3 green leaves

Use the same tiny 4-petal flower pattern as for the hat. Cluster the flowers tightly at slightly different angles. For stems, either crochet narrow chains in green or wrap floral tape over thin wire. Bind stems together and trim to a short handheld length.

Lace Square Mat

The pale square at the lower left looks like a delicate crochet lace mat or handkerchief-style display piece. Keep it simple and airy.

Lace Square

Using ivory thread or very fine yarn:

1. Ch 18.
2. Dc in fourth ch from hook and across.
3. Work 8 to 10 rows of open mesh using dc, ch 1, skip 1.
4. Border all around with *(sc, ch 3, sc)* picot-style corners.

For a softer antique feel, add a shell edging on two sides. Lightly block the square so it lies flat with gentle lace definition.

Tiny Cat Head

The cat is a separate small amigurumi with a mostly cream face and ginger patches. The head is rounded with tiny pointed ears and a calm expression.

Begin in cream.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. (3 sc, inc) x6. 30
6. Sc around 5 rounds. 30

Insert 6 mm eyes between rounds 8 and 9 with 6 to 7 stitches between them. Add ginger patchwork by surface stitching or by changing yarn in a few areas around one side of the forehead and cheek.

1. (3 sc, dec) x6. 24
2. (2 sc, dec) x6. 18

Stuff firmly. Embroider a tiny pink nose and short mouth. Close and leave tail for sewing.

Cat Ears Make 2

Using cream for outer ear and blush or tan for inner accent if desired:

• MR, 3 sc.
• ch 1, turn, inc in each st. 6
• ch 1, turn, sc across. 6

Fold slightly and sew to top of head. Add a touch of ginger on outer ear tips to match the image.

Tiny Cat Body

The body is small, upright, and slightly pear-shaped.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. Sc around 4 rounds. 18
5. (4 sc, dec) x3. 15
6. Sc around 3 rounds. 15

Stuff and close. Sew head to body.

Cat Arms Make 2

• MR, 5 sc.
• Sc around 5 rounds.

Stuff lightly and sew low at the shoulders.

Cat Legs Make 2

• MR, 6 sc.
• Sc around 6 rounds.

Sew underneath so the cat can stand with support. A bit of pellet weight in the lower body helps stability.

Tiny Cat Dress

The cat dress mirrors the bunny palette but is simpler: a pale blue dress with a flared skirt and flower corsage.

Dress Bodice

• Ch to fit around upper body.
• Work 3 rounds sc in blue.

Skirt

• Increase evenly around the bottom of the bodice.
• Work 3 to 4 rounds hdc in blue.
• Finish with one scallop round in blue or cream.

Sew a tiny flower spray at one shoulder using lavender, ivory, and soft pink, plus 2 green leaf stitches.

Tiny Cat Hat

The cat hat is blue, rounded, and brimmed, smaller but matching the bunny hat style.

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. inc x6. 12
3. (sc, inc) x6. 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x6. 24
5. Sc around 4 rounds. 24
6. Work one BLO round.
7. (3 sc, inc) x6. 30
8. Sc around 1 to 2 rounds for brim.

Sew or tack the hat lightly to the cat head so it sits low and neat. The cat ears should still be visible.

Flower Construction Reference

Because the set relies on repeated tiny floral accents, here is a simple production guide:

• Tiny 4-petal flower: best for hat, bouquet, and cat corsage
• Small puff flower: best for bunny shoes and bodice texture
• Mini leaves: use chains and small height changes for pointed shape
• French-knot style centers: optional using yarn wraps or tiny knots

Make all flowers before full assembly. Lay them beside the finished garments and distribute colors so the set looks balanced. In the image, blue is dominant, lavender is secondary, and ivory is used as a soft highlight.

Assembly Order

1. Sew bunny legs to body.
2. Sew bunny head to body.
3. Sew bunny ears to head.
4. Sew bunny arms to torso.
5. Dress the bunny with floral bodice and skirt.
6. Add shoes and flower trims.
7. Place hat and sew flower cluster.
8. Make and decorate handbag.
9. Assemble bouquet.
10. Assemble cat body, head, ears, limbs, dress, and hat.
11. Make lace mat last and block it flat.

Shaping Tips for Accuracy

• Head: keep it round, not tall.
• Ears: long and relaxed, not stiff and upright.
• Body: slim upper torso with slightly fuller hips.
• Arms: narrow and angled down.
• Hat brim: gentle downward curve, not wavy.
• Bodice flowers: dense enough to hide most background.
• Skirt panels: visible and framed, not blended together.
• Cat: compact and slightly shorter in leg proportion than the bunny.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the bunny face neatly with a tiny pink nose, a short center line, and a very small mouth. Keep the expression calm and sweet. Position the hat low on the forehead, and place the floral cluster to the right side. Check that the dress sits level and the scalloped hem shows both cream and blue.

For the cat, keep the face tiny and delicate. A small pink nose and compact mouth are enough. Make sure the ginger patches stay soft and balanced so the face still reads clearly from a distance.

Care Notes

Display pieces with many surface flowers are best handled gently. Keep them away from rough play, strong sunlight, and damp storage. If gifting to a child, secure all flowers, hats, and accessories very firmly, and replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes when needed.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Hat fits snugly and sits low
• Ears hang evenly on both sides
• Bodice flowers are dense and balanced
• Skirt panels line up at the front
• Shoes match in height and flower placement
• Handbag stripes are clean and centered
• Cat outfit matches the pastel palette
• Bouquet looks full from the front

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not scrub the flowers. Reshape while drying and lay flat away from heat. For long-term storage, wrap each figure in acid-free tissue and keep in a dry box so the pastel yarn stays clean and the hat brim keeps its form.
