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 full scene shown in the image: one standing bunny with long floppy ears, a softly shaped dress, a wide lace-look overskirt, pearl-like trim, shoes, hat, bouquet, diagonal floral strap, small tulip-shaped pouch, and a handkerchief.

The set also includes a tiny companion animal in matching colors with a mini lace-look skirt and a small hat trimmed with white blossoms. The overall shape is sweet, calm, and slightly vintage, with neat stitches and gentle proportions.

The main bunny is built in separate pieces so the silhouette stays clean and polished. The head is large and round. The torso narrows at the waist and flares at the peplum. The legs are sturdy enough to support the figure when posed with internal weighting or firm stuffing.

The clothing is not bulky. Most details are worked directly into separate dress pieces and decorative trims, then layered during finishing. This keeps the figure refined and very close to the photographed result instead of looking oversized or overly plush.

Materials

• Main bunny yarn: light cream cotton or cotton-blend DK weight
• Companion yarn: cream, warm tan, light pink, light green, and white DK weight
• Pouch yarn: pale lilac or very light lavender DK weight
• Floral stems and leaves: fresh spring green DK weight
• Blossoms: white DK weight
• Lace handkerchief: cream crochet cotton or very fine DK yarn
• Hook sizes: 2.25 mm for toys, 2.0 mm for flowers and trim, 1.75 mm for delicate lace sections if desired
• Eyes: black safety eyes for the bunny, smaller black safety eyes or embroidered eyes for the companion
• Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
• Optional weighting: poly pellets in pouches for the main body and feet
• Stitch markers, tapestry needle, pins, scissors
• Pearl-style beads: small round beads for skirt and shoe trim if you want a close visual match

Suggested Finished Size

• Main bunny: about 11 to 13 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including hat
• Companion: about 3.5 to 4.5 inches tall
• Bouquet: about 2.25 to 3 inches long
• Pouch: about 1.25 inches tall

Exact size will vary with yarn, tension, hook, and stuffing density. A firm fabric is important. The toy should not show stuffing through the stitches. If your fabric opens between stitches, go down one hook size.

Abbreviations

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

General Notes

• Work in continuous rounds unless a row is mentioned.
• Use a stitch marker and move it every round.
• Stuff as you go and keep the shaping smooth.
• For the cleanest finish, use invisible decreases on visible body sections.
• The main dress is designed as a fitted bodice with a separate decorative overskirt.
• The lily-of-the-valley blossoms should be small and slightly drooping, not open flowers.

Main Bunny

Legs Make 2

The legs are slim and lightly tapered, ending in rounded feet that fit inside the shoes. Keep stuffing firm at the foot and moderate through the upper leg so the figure can sit naturally under the skirt while still holding shape when standing.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-7: sc around. (24)
6. Round 8: 6 sc, 3 dec, 12 sc. (21)
7. Round 9: 5 sc, 3 dec, 10 sc. (18)

9. Round 11: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
10. Rounds 12-22: sc around. (16)

Fasten off first leg. Make the second leg the same, but do not fasten off. Lightly flatten the top openings so the legs angle forward a little, matching the gentle stance in the image.

Body

The body is compact and slightly pear-shaped, with a small waist and soft chest. Join the legs so the bunny stands with a neat center front and no wide gap between the thighs. Add a little weight inside the lower body if you want better balance.

1. Join legs with 4 ch. Attach to first leg and continue around both legs and chains. (40)
2. Round 1 of body: sc around all sts and both sides of the chain bridge. (40)
3. Round 2: sc around. (40)
4. Round 3: 8 sc, dec, 18 sc, dec, 10 sc. (38)
5. Round 4: sc around. (38)
6. Round 5: 8 sc, dec, 17 sc, dec, 9 sc. (36)
7. Round 6: sc around. (36)
8. Round 7: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
9. Round 8: sc around. (30)
10. Round 9: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

12. Rounds 11-14: sc around. (24)
13. Round 15: 2 sc, inc around. (32)
14. Round 16: sc around. (32)

Stuff the body firmly but do not overfill the waist. The fitted dress will sit more smoothly if the waist remains defined. Shape the belly gently with your hands while the stuffing is still adjustable.

Neck

1. Round 17: 2 sc, dec around. (24)
2. Rounds 18-20: sc around. (24)

If you want extra stability, insert a short neck support before attaching the head. A rolled felt strip, cotton swab stem, or toy-safe support can help the large head sit upright.

Head

The head is large, round, and smooth, with a softly flattened face front. It should be noticeably wider than the neck and slightly wider than the shoulders. Place the eyes low enough to create a gentle expression, but not so low that the muzzle area looks crowded.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
9. Rounds 9-17: sc around. (48)

Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 12 and 13 with about 10 visible stitches between them. Check expression before securing. The face in the image is calm and sweet, with the eyes placed evenly and not too close together.

1. Round 18: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
2. Round 19: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
3. Round 20: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
4. Round 21: 3 sc, dec around. (24)

Stuff the head very firmly. Add more filling to the cheeks and forehead, then smooth the face with your fingers. A well-stuffed head gives the polished rounded look seen in the photo.

1. Round 22: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
2. Round 23: sc, dec around. (12)
3. Round 24: dec around. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Arms Make 2

The arms are simple, slim, and slightly tapered. They hang naturally at the sides without dramatic bends. Keep them lightly stuffed so they remain soft and can rest close to the torso beneath the floral strap.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3-5: sc around. (12)
4. Round 6: 4 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc. (10)
5. Rounds 7-18: sc around. (10)
6. Round 19: flatten opening and sc through both layers 5 times.

Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, flat, and softly rounded at the tips. They fall straight down beside the head and end below the shoulder line. The image shows ears that are not thickly stuffed, so leave them unstuffed or add only a trace of filling at the base.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)
6. Round 9: 10 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec. (22)
7. Rounds 10-24: sc around. (22)
8. Round 25: 9 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec. (20)
9. Rounds 26-32: sc around. (20)
10. Flatten top opening and sew closed.

Leave a long tail. Steam lightly if needed so the ears hang smoothly.

Tail

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc around. (12)
4. Round 4: dec around. (6)

Lightly stuff and close.

Facial Features

Use medium brown or dusty rose-brown yarn for the nose and mouth. The nose is a small filled triangle. The mouth is very short and centered, with a single straight stitch going downward from the nose and two tiny angled stitches forming a soft split.

• Embroider the nose between Rounds 13 and 15.
• Keep the nose narrow rather than wide.
• Add the mouth directly below, only 2 to 3 stitches long.
• If desired, add a tiny bit of soft blush with fabric-safe color.

Dress Bodice

The upper dress appears as a fitted cream top with a gentle peplum at the waist. It does not have visible sleeves, so the arms remain separate. This section should hug the bunny neatly and sit above the decorative lace overskirt.

Waist Peplum Base

You may crochet the dress directly onto the body in the unused front loops from Body Round 10, or make it separately and sew it in place. Direct attachment gives the cleanest result.

1. Attach cream yarn to unused front loops of Body Round 10.
2. Round 1: sc around. (24)
3. Round 2: 2 sc, inc around. (32)
4. Round 3: sc around. (32)
5. Round 4: 3 sc, inc around. (40)
6. Round 5: sc around. (40)

This creates the soft peplum flare visible at the bunny’s waist.

Bodice Collar Trim

The neckline in the image has a raised collar-like edge. Work a narrow trim around the neck opening after the head is attached or create a separate ring and sew it in place.

1. Ch enough to fit around the upper chest and neckline area comfortably.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Work 2 rounds of sc.
4. On the final round, work a very slight outward flare by spacing a few increases evenly.

Sew the collar so it sits just below the head and angles gently outward, matching the neat layered neckline shown in the image.

Decorative Overskirt

This is one of the most important visual features. The overskirt is cream, openwork, and richly textured. It hangs from the waist and reaches almost to the ankles, leaving the shoes visible. The lower edge has pronounced lace arches with dangling white bell motifs and pearl-like accents.

Overskirt Foundation

1. Ch a ring that fits around the lower waist just beneath the peplum.
2. Round 1: sc around evenly.
3. Round 2: ch 5, skip 2 sts, sc in next st around to form open arches.
4. Round 3: in each arch work 1 sc, 3 dc, 1 sc.
5. Round 4: ch 6 between shell groups to widen the skirt.
6. Round 5: work fan groups into each arch using sc, dc, ch 2, dc, sc.

Continue building the lace until the overskirt falls to the correct length. The image shows a floral lace effect, not a stiff geometric one, so aim for soft arches and open texture.

Lower Lace Border

The border should be fuller and more ornate than the upper lace. Use this as a visual guide rather than a rigid formula if your yarn behaves differently.

1. Round 1: ch 7 loops around.
2. Round 2: in each loop work sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc.
3. Round 3: between motifs, ch 3 picot-like bridges or plain ch bridges.
4. Round 4: add tiny pointed arches or scallops along the very bottom edge.

Block lightly so the lace spreads evenly. Do not overstretch. The skirt should remain soft and drapey.

Bell Drops for the Skirt

The image clearly shows several small white hanging flower forms attached along the lower lace. These resemble lily-of-the-valley bells and must be included for the design to look right.

Mini Bell Motif Make 10 to 14

1. With white yarn, ch 4 and join to form a ring.
2. Round 1: 6 sc in ring.
3. Round 2: sc around.
4. Round 3: work very small outward shell points using sc, hdc, sc into alternating stitches.
5. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Sew the bells under the lace border at varied intervals. Add small pearl-style beads between some motifs to echo the decorative pearls seen in the image.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are cream and rounded, with neat little pearl trim across the top edge. They should fit snugly over the feet and cover the foot rounds completely without looking bulky.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: sc around in BLO. (24)
6. Round 6: 6 sc, 3 dec, 12 sc. (21)
7. Round 7: 5 sc, 3 dec, 10 sc. (18)
8. Rounds 8-9: sc around. (18)

Slip each shoe onto a foot and sew in place neatly around the ankle. Add 3 or 4 pearl-style beads across each shoe front. If you prefer not to use beads, embroider small French-knot style bumps with cream yarn.

Hat

The hat is small, cream, and slightly tilted. It has a flat crown, a narrow brim, a green vine detail, leaves, and tiny white blossoms clustered on one side. It should sit at an angle above one ear, not centered straight on top.

Hat Crown

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
6. Rounds 6-10: sc around. (30)

Hat Brim

1. Round 11: in FLO, 4 sc, inc around. (36)
2. Round 12: sc around. (36)
3. Round 13: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
4. Round 14: sc around. (42)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off. Lightly shape the brim with your fingers. The brim should not wave heavily. It stays mostly flat with a subtle lift.

Hat Leaves Make 2

1. With green yarn, ch 6.
2. Work back along chain: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc.
3. On opposite side of chain work hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.
4. Fasten off.

Hat Blossoms Make 3 to 5

1. With white yarn, ch 3.
2. Into first ch work 3 hdc together or 4 tiny sc petals.
3. Pull into a tight bud shape.
4. Fasten off with a tail.

Wrap a green strand around the hat base like a vine, then sew the leaves and blossoms to one side. Stitch the hat to the head at a gentle angle.

Crossbody Floral Strap

A thin green strand crosses from one shoulder to the opposite hip and is decorated with white bells. This detail must remain narrow and delicate. If it becomes too thick, it will overpower the dress.

1. With green yarn, ch enough to cross diagonally from shoulder to hip.
2. Work 1 row of sl st or very tight sc back along the chain.

Make 4 to 6 tiny white bells using the same mini bell method from the skirt section, but slightly smaller if possible. Sew them along the strap, clustered more heavily near the upper chest. Stitch the strap in place after the arms are attached.

Lilac Pouch

The pouch is a small pendant bag hanging at the lower end of the strap. It looks like a flower bud or tulip cup in pale lilac with a green leafy top edge.

Pouch Body

1. With lilac yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-6: sc around. (18)
5. Round 7: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (15)
6. Round 8: sc around. (15)

Lightly stuff or leave empty for a true pouch shape. Flatten the top opening slightly.

Leaf Cap

1. Attach green yarn at top edge.
2. Work small pointed leaves around using ch 3, sl st back, skip 1 st, repeat.

Sew the pouch to the lower side of the strap so it rests at the bunny’s right hip area in a natural diagonal line.

Bouquet

The bouquet is a bunch of green stems tied together, topped with tiny white bell flowers. It should look light and delicate, not round like a pom-pom bunch. Keep the stems visible and slightly longer than the blossoms.

Flower Stems Make 6 to 8

1. With green yarn, ch 10 to 14 depending on desired stem length.
2. Sl st back along the chain for a firm narrow stem.

Bells for Bouquet Make 6 to 10

Use the mini bell motif again. For extra realism, make a mix of very small and slightly larger bells.

Sew one or two bells to each stem tip. Gather all stems together, wrap with a strand of cream or tan yarn near the base, and tack the finished bouquet into the bunny’s hand.

Handkerchief

The left hand holds a small cream handkerchief with a lace-like edge. It appears soft and triangular when draped. You may make it square and fold it, or crochet it directly as a triangle.

Option Used for This Look

1. With fine cream yarn, ch 14.
2. Row 1: sc across.
3. Rows 2-8: ch 1, turn, dec at start and end of each row to form a triangle.
4. Edge: work sc evenly around with tiny picots every few stitches.

Lightly steam. Fold and sew one corner into the hand so it drapes downward like the image.

Companion Animal

The small companion looks like a tiny hamster or mouse with a tan head cap, cream muzzle area, tiny pink limbs, black eyes, and the same romantic dress style. It wears a cream hat with green trim and white blossoms.

Because the scale is small, keep shaping simple but accurate. The body is rounder and stubbier than the bunny’s body. The face is compact, with the tan top color ending above the eye line.

Companion Body and Head in One Piece

1. Start with cream yarn. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
5. Rounds 5-8: sc around. (24)

Change to tan for the upper head section, but leave a cream muzzle patch area when embroidering the face. For a clean color split, you may surface crochet a tan cap later instead of changing yarn mid-round.

1. Rounds 9-12: sc around. (24)
2. Insert tiny eyes around Round 10 with 5 to 6 stitches between them.
3. Round 13: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
4. Round 14: sc around. (18)
5. Round 15: sc, dec around. (12)
6. Stuff firmly.
7. Round 16: dec around. (6)

Close and shape into a rounded pear form.

Companion Arms Make 2

1. With light pink yarn, 5 sc in MR. (5)
2. Rounds 2-4: sc around. (5)

Fasten off. No stuffing needed.

Companion Feet Make 2

1. With light pink yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: sc around. (6)

Fasten off. Sew at the lower body front.

Companion Ears Make 2

1. With tan yarn, 4 sc in MR. (4)
2. Round 2: inc around. (8)

Flatten and sew near the top sides of the head.

Companion Face

• Embroider a tiny pink triangular nose.
• Add a short mouth line below.
• Keep the muzzle small and centered.

Companion Dress

Work a simple cream peplum around the lower body and add a tiny lace-look hem.

1. Attach cream yarn around the mid-body.
2. Round 1: sc evenly around.
3. Round 2: increase lightly to create flare.
4. Round 3: ch 3 loops around.
5. Round 4: in each loop work sc, 2 dc, sc.

This gives the same romantic silhouette as the large bunny without adding excess bulk.

Companion Hat

1. With cream yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc around. (18)
4. Rounds 4-5: sc around. (18)
5. Round 6: in FLO, 2 sc, inc around. (24)
6. Round 7: sc around. (24)

Add one green leaf and 2 or 3 tiny white blossoms. Sew at a slight angle.

Assembly Order

1. Sew the head to the body securely.
2. Sew the ears to the upper sides of the head so they fall straight down.
3. Sew the arms to the body slightly below the collar line.
4. Attach the tail at the back.
5. Add the bodice collar if made separately.
6. Work or attach the peplum and overskirt.
7. Sew on the shoes.
8. Attach the diagonal floral strap and pouch.
9. Sew the bouquet and handkerchief into the hands.
10. Attach the hat.
11. Make and dress the companion animal.

Positioning Notes for Accuracy

• The hat sits on the bunny’s left side and tilts outward slightly.
• The floral strap crosses the chest from the left shoulder toward the right hip.
• The pouch hangs at the lower right side.
• The bouquet is held in the bunny’s right hand.
• The handkerchief hangs from the bunny’s left hand.
• The skirt lace reaches low enough to nearly cover the legs but leaves the shoes fully visible.
• The companion should stand close to the bunny and echo the same styling.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the symmetry of the head, ears, and eyes before fully tightening your sewing. Shape the cheeks with gentle hand pressure. Make sure the nose is centered and small. The mouth should be short and soft. Angle the hat last so it frames the face without covering the eyes.

Care Notes

Display this set away from direct sunlight and high humidity. If using beads, keep it for decor rather than rough play. Handle the bouquet, flowers, and lace border gently because these details are intentionally delicate.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head sits upright and centered
• Ears hang evenly
• Dress peplum is smooth
• Overskirt lace is balanced front and back
• White bell drops are attached securely
• Shoes match in height and angle
• Strap, pouch, bouquet, and handkerchief are all in the correct positions
• Companion colors and hat echo the main bunny

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust lightly with a soft dry brush. For small marks, spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely. Do not soak bead-trimmed sections. Store flat or upright in a clean box with tissue support under the hat and skirt lace to preserve shape.
