Lavender Teacup Bunny – Crochet

This elegant handmade bunny doll is designed with a soft lavender-and-cream wardrobe, a beret, a floral jacket, a paneled skirt, tiny shoes, and charming accessories that give it the feel of a boutique amigurumi collectible. It suits makers who love heirloom-style crochet toys, gift-making, and refined spring nursery decor.

The set also includes a miniature tea guest, a small shoulder bag, a lace handkerchief, a lavender bouquet, and a tiny cup detail that make the finished piece look like a premium handmade bunny doll ready for display, gifting, or anyone searching for a beautiful amigurumi keepsake to buy or commission.

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 standing bunny with long floppy ears, a rounded head, a softly tapered torso, plump sleeves, straight legs, and a fully styled outfit in lavender and cream. The silhouette is gentle and balanced, with a large head, small muzzle shaping, and a calm expression.

The clothing is a major part of the design. The bunny wears a beret with lavender sprigs, a collared jacket with embroidered lavender on the front, a paneled skirt with floral lace-style sections, and matching shoes. A small crossbody bag, lace handkerchief, and bouquet finish the scene.

The second character is a tiny round tea companion worked in the same soft palette. It has a compact body, tiny ears, a little jacket, a ruffled skirt, a beret, and a miniature cup. Keeping the colors and trim consistent makes the pair look intentional and display-ready.

Main Bunny

Head

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc in each st around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. 30
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. 36
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. 42
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. 48
9. Round 9: 7 sc, inc rep around. 54
10. Rounds 10 to 20: Sc around. 54

Insert 8 mm safety eyes between Rounds 13 and 14 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The face in the image is calm and wide-set, so keep the eyes level and slightly farther apart than on a very cute chibi style toy.

For the cheeks, lightly indent the eye area if desired by threading yarn from the neck opening up and around each eye position. Pull very gently. The head should stay soft and round, not sharply sculpted.

1. Round 21: 7 sc, dec rep around. 48
2. Round 22: 6 sc, dec rep around. 42
3. Round 23: 5 sc, dec rep around. 36
4. Round 24: 4 sc, dec rep around. 30

Begin stuffing the head firmly. Pay attention to the lower face so the chin does not collapse. The finished head should look almost spherical, with only a subtle flattening where it meets the neck.

1. Round 25: 3 sc, dec rep around. 24
2. Round 26: 2 sc, dec rep around. 18
3. Round 27: 1 sc, dec rep around. 12

Fasten off only if making the head separately. If you prefer, continue directly into the neck and upper torso. A separate head and body assembly is easier for precise clothing placement, so that method is recommended here.

Muzzle and Face Detailing

Embroider a small upside-down triangular nose in light brown centered between the eyes, about 2 rounds below the eye line. Add a short vertical stitch downward, then a tiny split mouth to each side. Keep this minimal. The image shows a delicate mouth, not a bold cartoon muzzle.

Add the faintest pink blush just below the eyes. This can be done with a cosmetic blush brushed on carefully or with one or two soft horizontal stitches in pale pink thread. Keep it very light.

Ears Make 2

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Rounds 5 to 8: Sc around. 24
6. Round 9: 10 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec. 22
7. Round 10: Sc around. 22
8. Round 11: 9 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec. 20
9. Rounds 12 to 18: Sc around. 20
10. Round 19: 8 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec. 18
11. Rounds 20 to 26: Sc around. 18
12. Round 27: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. 16
13. Rounds 28 to 34: Sc around. 16

Flatten the ear opening. Do not stuff, or add only the tiniest amount of stuffing at the base. The ears in the image are long, soft, and naturally drooping. Sew them low on the sides of the head so they fall behind the cheeks and under the beret.

Body

The bunny wears a jacket and skirt, so the body can stay simple and neat. A compact pear shape works best, with a narrower shoulder area and a slightly fuller hip area to support the skirt.

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. 30
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. 36
7. Rounds 7 to 10: Sc around. 36
8. Round 11: 4 sc, dec rep around. 30
9. Rounds 12 to 16: Sc around. 30
10. Round 17: 3 sc, dec rep around. 24
11. Rounds 18 to 20: Sc around. 24

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the body firmly, but keep the top flatter than the belly. The body should not bulge too much through the jacket. Sew the head centered on top with a short neck join so the chin sits close to the collar.

Arms Make 2

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Rounds 3 to 5: Sc around. 12
4. Round 6: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. 10
5. Rounds 7 to 17: Sc around. 10

Lightly stuff the lower half only. Flatten the top opening and sew closed. The sleeves in the photo are plump because the jacket sits over the arm, so keep the arm itself slim and rounded.

Legs Make 2

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Rounds 4 to 6: Sc around. 18
5. Round 7: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. 16
6. Rounds 8 to 16: Sc around. 16

Stuff the foot area well and the upper leg moderately. Flatten the upper opening and sew the legs evenly to the underside of the body. Make sure the bunny can balance visually, with both feet straight and parallel.

Clothing for the Main Bunny

Peter Pan Collar

Make two mirrored collar halves in cream, then edge in lavender. Each collar half begins at the neckline edge and widens softly into a rounded point.

1. Ch 9.
2. Row 1: Starting in second ch from hook, sc across. Turn. 8
3. Row 2: Dec, sc to last 2 sts, dec. Turn. 6
4. Row 3: Sc across. Turn.
5. Row 4: Sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sc. Turn.
6. Row 5: Sl st evenly around the outer edge, shaping the curve gently.

Make a second mirrored piece. Join both pieces at the inner neckline edge with a few stitches or sew them onto the jacket neckline separately. With lavender, work a fine edging of sl st or very tight sc around the rounded outer edge.

Jacket Back

1. With cream, ch 24.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. 23
3. Rows 2 to 7: Sc across, ch 1, turn.
4. Row 8: Dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. 21
5. Rows 9 to 11: Sc across.
6. Row 12: Dec, sc across to last 2 sts, dec. 19
7. Rows 13 to 15: Sc across.

Fasten off. This piece should cover the upper back neatly without extending below the natural waist. Add a lavender border around the lower edge and sides using one round of sc.

Jacket Fronts Make 2

1. With cream, ch 13.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. 12
3. Rows 2 to 7: Sc across.
4. Row 8: Shape neckline by working 8 sc, turn. 8
5. Row 9: Dec, sc across. 7
6. Row 10: Sc across.
7. Row 11: Dec, sc across. 6
8. Row 12: Sc across.
9. Row 13: Dec, sc across. 5

Make the second front as a mirror. Join shoulder seams lightly. Sew side seams under the arms after checking fit. The jacket in the image is slightly open at the center front, so leave a narrow gap. Edge all visible front lines with dusty lavender.

Jacket Sleeves Make 2

1. With cream, ch 18.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. 17
3. Rows 2 to 9: Sc across.

Seam into a tube around the arm, slightly gathering the top edge to fit the armhole. Add a narrow lavender cuff edging at the wrist. The sleeves should look softly rounded and roomy.

Embroidered Lavender on Jacket Fronts

Using medium lavender, embroider three slim flower spikes on each front panel. Each spike can be formed from stacked detached chain stitches or tiny slanted straight stitches. Using sage green, stitch 3 to 4 leaves at the base.

Place the embroidery low on the jacket fronts, centered above the lavender lower trim. Keep the flowers upright and narrow. In the image, both clusters mirror each other and do not spread wide across the chest.

Skirt Waistband

The skirt is built from joined decorative square panels and a simple waistband. First make the panel strip, then add the waistband in cream so it sits smoothly around the bunny’s waist.

Decorative Floral Panel Squares Make 4

Use dusty lavender for the floral section. These squares should look open and lace-like while still sturdy enough for toy clothing. Make them all the same size.

1. Round 1: In MR, ch 3, 11 dc. Join. 12 dc
2. Round 2: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each gap between dc posts around. Join. 24
3. Round 3: Ch 3, dc in same st, ch 2, skip 2, 2 dc in next, rep around. Join.
4. Round 4: In each ch-2 space work 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in every fourth space to form corners. Fill side spaces with 3 dc only. Join into a square shape.
5. Round 5: With cream, sc evenly around, placing 3 sc in each corner ch-2 space.

For a closer visual match, embroider a soft floral burst in the center using a slightly darker lavender. Keep the center decorative but flat. Make four squares and join them edge to edge into one strip. The skirt in the image shows distinct rectangular sections, so block gently before joining.

Upper and Lower Skirt Bands

With cream, work a row of sc evenly across the top of the joined panel strip. Add 2 to 4 decreases spaced along the row if needed so the strip fits the bunny’s waist without bulk. Then work 2 more rows of sc.

Along the lower edge of the panel strip, work one row of cream sc, one row of lavender sc, and then a small shell edging. For the shell edging, work sl st, skip 1, 5 hdc in next st, skip 1 and repeat. This creates the scalloped hem seen in the photo.

Joining the Skirt

Wrap the skirt around the bunny and sew the back seam neatly. Attach it at the waistline under the jacket. The skirt should flare modestly and fall just above the ankles, leaving the shoes fully visible.

Beret

The beret is soft, rounded, and slightly oversized, tilting to one side. This piece matters a lot for the likeness, so make it shallow in the center with extra width around the outer rounds.

1. Round 1: With dusty lavender, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. 30
6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. 36
7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. 42
8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. 48
9. Round 9: 7 sc, inc rep around. 54
10. Rounds 10 to 13: Sc around. 54
11. Round 14: 7 sc, dec rep around. 48
12. Round 15: 6 sc, dec rep around. 42
13. Round 16: BLO sc around. 42
14. Round 17: 5 sc, dec rep around. 36
15. Round 18: Sc around. 36

Try the beret on the bunny. It should sit low enough to overlap the forehead and one ear base. If needed, add or remove a round before the final band. Fold the outer area softly to one side, then tack in place with a few stitches after decorating.

Beret Lavender Sprigs

Make 2 or 3 tiny lavender spikes. For each one, ch 7 with medium lavender. Starting in second ch from hook, sl st, sc, hdc, 2 hdc in next, hdc, sc. Fasten off. Stitch them as upright buds.

For leaves, with sage green ch 5 and work back with sl st, sc, hdc, sc. Attach beneath the lavender buds. Sew the cluster onto the beret front band slightly off-center.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are rounded Mary Jane style slippers with lavender uppers, cream side walls, and tiny lavender flower details near the strap line.

1. Round 1: With lavender, ch 7. Work 1 sc in second ch from hook, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, turn and work on opposite side: 4 sc, 2 sc in last. 14
2. Round 2: Inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20
3. Round 3: Sc around in BLO. 20
4. Round 4: 6 sc, dec x4, 6 sc. 16
5. Round 5: Sc around. 16

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off and leave a sewing tail. Fit the shoe over the foot. Add a tiny strap illusion with a short line of lavender surface stitches across the top front. Embroider one small lavender bud and leaf near the outer side of each shoe.

Crossbody Bag

This small cylindrical purse hangs at the front hip. The body is beige to cream with a lavender strap tone kept soft. A lace edge detail at the top gives the same romantic style seen in the image.

Bag Base

1. With beige or cream, ch 9.
2. Round 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 7 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 6 sc on opposite side, 2 sc in last. 18
3. Round 2: Inc, 6 sc, 3 inc, 6 sc, 2 inc. 24
4. Round 3: BLO sc around. 24
5. Rounds 4 to 7: Sc around. 24

Fasten off. For the top edge, work one round of decorative eyelet trim or attach a narrow lace strip. Create a flap or rolled rim if preferred. Add a long chain strap and sew it diagonally across the bunny from shoulder to opposite hip.

For the front tie accent, chain 10 to 12, knot softly, and sew one small looped bow onto the bag front. Keep it delicate and slightly off-center.

Lace Handkerchief

This can be made from real narrow lace or crocheted as a small prop. For a crocheted version, use cream thread and a smaller hook.

1. Ch 16.
2. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and across. 15
3. Rows 2 to 10: Sc across.

Edge the square with sl st, ch 3 picot, sl st repeats, or use a fan edging with tiny shells. Fold loosely and stitch or tie it near one hand so it hangs naturally like the lace piece in the photo.

Lavender Bouquet

Flower Spikes Make 5 to 7

For each stem, with sage green ch 10. Working back down, sl st in next 4 chains for the stem section. Change to lavender or join lavender at the tip end to build the flower spike with tiny picot-like bumps.

One simple method is to work ch 3, sl st in same st repeatedly along the top half of the stem to form clustered buds. Another method is 2 sc, ch 2 picot, 2 sc across a short starting chain. Use whichever gives a narrow, textured spike.

Leaves

Make several tiny leaves in sage green. Ch 5, then sl st, sc, hdc, sc back along the chain. Stitch them around the bouquet base. Gather the stems, wrap with matching thread, and trim. A hidden wire can help the bouquet angle outward from the bunny’s hand.

Tiny Tea Companion

This miniature character resembles a small round tea guest dressed to match the bunny. The body is compact and chubby, the face is white and tan, and the costume includes a beret, jacket, skirt, and tiny cup. It should feel like a collectible side companion rather than a separate full doll.

Head and Body Worked as One

1. Round 1: With white or cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Rounds 5 to 7: Sc around. 24

Change to tan for the upper head and sides, keeping the lower muzzle area in cream or white if you are using color changes. Insert 4 mm to 5 mm eyes between Rounds 5 and 6 with about 5 stitches between them.

1. Round 8: Sc around. 24
2. Round 9: 2 sc, dec rep around. 18
3. Round 10: Sc around. 18
4. Round 11: 1 sc, dec rep around. 12

Stuff the head firmly. Begin body shaping.

3. Round 17: 2 sc, dec rep around. 18
4. Round 18: 1 sc, dec rep around. 12
5. Round 19: Dec around. 6

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off and close. The body should sit as a small rounded base. Embroider a tiny nose and mouth in pale brown or pink thread.

Tiny Ears Make 2

1. Round 1: With tan, 5 sc in MR. 5
2. Round 2: Inc around. 10
3. Round 3: Sc around. 10

Flatten lightly and sew to the top sides of the head. Keep them small and rounded.

Tiny Arms Make 2

1. Round 1: With cream, 5 sc in MR. 5
2. Rounds 2 to 4: Sc around. 5

Stuff minimally. Sew low on the body front so the hands can hold the tiny cup.

Tiny Jacket

With lavender, ch 14. Row 1: sc across. Continue 5 to 6 rows total. Wrap around the upper body as a tiny coat and seam at the back. Add a cream collar or front edging. Sew one miniature white dot stitch as a button at the center.

Tiny Skirt

With lavender, ch enough to fit around the lower body, usually 18 to 22 chains. Join without twisting. Work 2 rounds of sc, then one round with 1 sc, 2 sc in next st repeated to flare. Finish with a shell edging using 4 hdc in every second stitch group.

Tiny Beret

1. Round 1: With lavender, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc rep around. 18
4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. 24
5. Round 5: Sc around. 24
6. Round 6: 2 sc, dec rep around. 18

Sew onto the head at a slight tilt. This tiny beret should echo the main bunny’s hat without overwhelming the small face.

Tiny Cup

1. Round 1: With cream, 6 sc in MR. 6
2. Round 2: Inc around. 12
3. Round 3: Sc around in BLO. 12
4. Round 4: Sc around. 12

Fasten off. Add a tiny handle with a short chain of 3 or 4 sewn to the side. For the drink surface, add one round flat insert in beige or brown and stitch into the top opening.

Placement Guide

• Ears: sew low and wide so they hang behind the cheeks
• Arms: place just below the collar line, angled slightly forward
• Legs: centered under the body with the feet facing straight ahead
• Jacket embroidery: low on each front panel
• Bag strap: from one shoulder to opposite hip
• Bouquet: right hand or whichever side balances best visually
• Lace handkerchief: opposite hand, hanging softly
• Tiny companion: place close to the bunny’s foot for scale harmony

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head to the body first, then attach ears, arms, and legs. Dress the bunny before fixing the final arm angle so the sleeves and bag sit naturally. Add the collar after the jacket is fitted.

Place the beret low on the forehead and tack it on one side so it keeps the slouchy shape. Embroider the nose small, centered, and neat. Add only a whisper of blush. The finished face should look serene, soft, and classic.

Care Notes

Display this piece away from strong sunlight and moisture. If it will be handled often, sew every accessory firmly and avoid loose decorative knots. For a shelf display, gentle shaping by hand after assembly helps the skirt, beret, and bouquet keep their form.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Eyes aligned evenly on both characters
• Nose centered and small
• Ears hanging at matching height
• Jacket fronts symmetrical
• Lavender embroidery balanced on both sides
• Skirt hem level all around
• Shoes facing forward
• Beret tilted softly, not flat
• Bag strap secure
• Tea companion cup attached firmly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap. Do not scrub embroidered flowers or blush areas. Reshape while damp and allow to air dry fully. For long-term storage, wrap in acid-free tissue and keep in a breathable container away from heat, dust, and humidity.

Avoid hanging the bunny by the bag strap or accessories. Store the bouquet separately if needed to prevent bent stems. If the beret loses shape, lightly steam nearby, not directly on the yarn, and reshape gently with clean hands.
