Narcissus Lacebell Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi bunny set is designed with a soft heirloom look, a pale yellow and misty blue dress, a tiny flowered basket, a lace-trimmed hat, daisy shoes, and a matching mini bunny companion. It is a lovely choice for collectors, nursery decor, spring display, or handmade gift shoppers looking for a cottagecore bunny doll.

The finished set has the charm of a boutique stuffed rabbit, with carefully balanced proportions and delicate accessories that make it feel polished and gift-ready. If you enjoy making amigurumi dolls to sell at craft fairs, gift shops, or online handmade toy listings, this design gives you many beautiful details in one coordinated set.

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

Materials

• Lightweight cotton yarn or smooth cotton blend in:
  • Warm cream for the large bunny body
  • Soft butter yellow for trim, skirt panels, hat top, flower centers, and shoe flowers
  • Pale dusty blue for dress panels and fine decorative stripes
  • Light brown or blush brown for nose embroidery
  • Soft pink for cheek blush stitching if desired
  • White for lace edging and narcissus petals
  • Green for flower stems
  • Tan or caramel for the mini bunny body
  • A tiny amount of black or dark thread for facial accents if needed
• Crochet hook sized to give a firm fabric with no visible stuffing gaps
• Stuffing
• Safety eyes for the large bunny
• Smaller safety eyes or embroidered eyes for the mini bunny
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Craft wire is optional for flower stems if you want them poseable
• Light fabric lace or crocheted lace trim for the handkerchief, or work the lace directly in crochet

Finished Size

The large bunny is designed as a standing doll with a prominent round head, slim body, long legs, and long drooping ears. The mini bunny is much smaller, about the height of the large bunny’s skirt and lower torso together. The flower stems are long enough to rest on the wooden surface beside the doll.

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
• FLO = front loop only
• BLO = back loop only
• st = stitch
• sts = stitches
• rnd = round
• rep = repeat

Design Notes

The visual style depends on neat, compact stitches and careful stuffing. Keep the head very round, the neck narrow, the torso small, and the limbs slim. The outfit should look tailored rather than bulky, so avoid loose gauge.

The bunny in the image has gentle proportions. The head is large, the ears are long and flat, the body is narrower than the head, and the legs are straight. The skirt flares softly and ends with shell scallops. The apron-like front panels are defined and tidy.

Use invisible decreases wherever possible. Stuff firmly enough to hold the shape, but not so firmly that the stitches stretch. Many details in this set are decorative overlays, so pin everything before sewing permanently.

Large Bunny

Head

1. With cream, make 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
6. (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
7. (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
8. (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
9. (7 sc, inc) around. (54)
10. (8 sc, inc) around. (60)
11. (9 sc, inc) around. (66)
12. (10 sc, inc) around. (72)
13. Sc around for 12 rnds. (72)

The head should look almost spherical with a slightly flatter lower front where the muzzle shaping will sit. If your natural tension gives a pointed top, add one more plain round near the crown.

Eye Placement

Insert the large safety eyes on the front face with a moderate gap between them. The eyes should sit slightly below the horizontal center of the head. In the image, the eyes are glossy, round, and softly spaced, giving a calm expression.

Before closing the head, add stuffing gradually. Keep the face smooth. Do not overstuff the muzzle area, because the embroidered nose should lie on a gently curved surface, not a bulging one.

1. (10 sc, dec) around. (66)
2. (9 sc, dec) around. (60)
3. (8 sc, dec) around. (54)
4. (7 sc, dec) around. (48)
5. (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
6. (5 sc, dec) around. (36)
7. (4 sc, dec) around. (30)

Neck Opening

1. Sc around 1 rnd. (30)
2. (3 sc, dec) around. (24)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing if working the head separately from the body.

Muzzle Shaping and Face

Using a little cream yarn or by light thread sculpting, define a soft muzzle area centered below the eyes. The image shows a subtle muzzle, not a protruding snout.

Embroider the nose in blush brown as a small horizontal triangle with softened edges. Extend a straight line downward from the center and split it into a tiny mouth. Add a touch of pale pink blush low on each cheek if desired.

Body

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
6. Sc around for 3 rnds. (30)
7. (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
8. Sc around for 4 rnds. (36)
9. (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
10. Sc around 2 rnds. (30)
11. (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
12. Sc around 2 rnds. (24)

Stuff the body lightly to medium. The body in the image is slim and hidden mostly by the dress. It should support the head without creating a thick torso. Keep the shoulders narrow.

Legs Make 2

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. Sc around 3 rnds. (18)
5. (4 sc, dec) around. (15)
6. Sc around 20 to 24 rnds, or until the leg length matches the image proportion. (15)

📌Thank you for reading the article

The legs are straight, slim, and evenly stuffed. They are not heavily shaped at the knee. Make both legs identical and keep the lower ankle narrow enough for the open shoes to fit closely.

Fasten off first leg. Finish second leg and join the legs with a small bridge of stitches or sew them under the body with a narrow gap. The bunny stands with feet placed close together.

Arms Make 2

1. With cream, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc around 3 rnds. (12)
4. (4 sc, dec) twice. (10)
5. Sc around 16 to 18 rnds. (10)

Stuff only the lower half well and keep the upper arm lighter. Flatten the opening and sew to the body at the shoulder line. The arms angle slightly downward. One arm supports the basket handle and the other holds the lace handkerchief.

Ears Make 2

1. With cream, ch 13.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sc 11, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 10, inc in last st. (26)
3. Sc around. (26)
4. (11 sc, inc, 12 sc, inc) (28)
5. Sc around 8 to 10 rnds. (28)
6. (12 sc, dec) twice. (26)
7. Sc around 3 rnds. (26)
8. (11 sc, dec) twice. (24)
9. Sc around 2 rnds. (24)

Do not overstuff the ears. They should remain flat and drape naturally. The ears are long, wide near the top, softly rounded at the ends, and attached slightly behind the side line of the head so they fall straight downward.

For a cleaner look, lightly steam-block or finger-shape them. Sew each ear high on the head but not on the crown. They should frame the face evenly.

Large Bunny Dress

Bodice Base

The upper dress is fitted and sits high under the head. It has short sleeves, narrow blue lines, a central yellow flower, and a flared lower peplum band above the skirt. The dress is easiest made as a separate garment and sewn or fastened onto the doll.

1. With cream, make a foundation chain that fits snugly around the upper torso.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Work 4 to 5 rnds of sc or hdc for a smooth fitted bodice.

Add two fine pale blue accent rounds near the upper chest and sleeve edge level. Keep these stripes delicate. In the image they are thin, decorative lines rather than broad color blocks.

Sleeves

Pick up stitches around the arm openings and work 2 to 3 short rnds in cream. Add a pale blue trim round at the sleeve edge. The sleeves are tiny cap sleeves, neat and close to the arm, not puffed.

Center Flower Applique

This flower sits in the middle of the bodice and is a major visual detail. It resembles a narcissus motif with layered petals and a rounded center. Make it slightly raised.

1. With yellow, 6 sc in MR.
2. Join.
3. For petals: in each stitch work sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.

Make a second tiny center nub by crocheting a small round or popcorn-like detail in yellow. Sew the flower to the bodice center. Add a few small anchoring stitches so the petals do not curl too far upward.

Peplum Band

At the bottom of the bodice, work a wider yellow section that flares slightly outward. This forms the structured transition between the bodice and the skirt. Beneath it, add a pale blue trim line and then a cream joining line if needed.

The band should project slightly over the top of the skirt, creating the layered look visible in the image.

Large Bunny Skirt

Skirt Structure

The skirt is softly flared with alternating yellow and pale blue vertical panels. Each panel is wide enough to be visible but still delicate. The lower hem ends in rounded yellow shell scallops.

You may work the skirt from the waist downward in joined rounds, then overlay the color sections. Another clean method is to work separate front-facing panels over a cream base skirt.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Base Skirt

1. With cream, join yarn to lower bodice or work separately from waist.
2. Increase gradually over the first 2 to 3 rounds to create a gentle bell shape.
3. Continue until the skirt reaches just above the ankle.

The large doll’s skirt is not extremely full. It is structured and tidy, with a clear front and side view. Avoid too much flare.

Vertical Panels

Mark alternating sections around the skirt. Work long surface crochet panels or stitched overlays in pale blue and yellow. In the image, the pale blue panels are rectangular and distinct, while the yellow sections appear between them.

Place the broader pale blue sections near the front and sides, leaving yellow between them. Keep the panel edges straight. These panels should stop before the scalloped hem so the yellow shells remain prominent.

Hem Scallops

1. With yellow, join at lower skirt edge.
2. Work shell scallops around: skip 1 or 2 sts, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 or 2 sts, sl st in next st.
3. Repeat evenly for a rounded lacebell finish.

The hem in the image has a clean floral shell rhythm. Adjust stitch spacing so the scallops sit flat and even. Do not make them too ruffled.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are open-toe sandals or slippers in cream with a strap shape over the foot and a daisy flower centered near the toes. They are soft and delicate, matching the spring theme.

Sole

1. With cream, ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sc across, 3 sc in last ch, continue on opposite side, sc across, inc in last st.
3. Work 2 more rnds evenly, increasing slightly at heel and toe curves.

Shoe Upper

1. Work 1 rnd in BLO to define the side edge.
2. Sc around 1 rnd.
3. For toe strap, crochet across the front third only for 3 to 4 rows.
4. For ankle strap effect, add a narrow band or embroidered edge around the upper opening.

Shoe Flowers Make 2

1. With white, make a tiny flower with 5 or 6 petals.
2. With yellow, add a small center knot or stitched dot.
3. Sew one flower to each shoe.

Slide the shoes onto the feet before final leg attachment if needed. They should fit snugly and show the toe flower clearly from the front.

Hat

The hat is a small rounded yellow hat tilted toward one side of the head. It has a narrow white ruffled brim and a pale blue band. The brim is modest and does not circle widely like a sunhat.

Hat Crown

1. With yellow, 6 sc in MR.
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. Sc around 6 to 8 rnds. (24)

Hat Brim

1. Work 1 round with slight increases to begin the brim.
2. Add 1 or 2 rounds in white.
3. On final brim edge, work a soft ruffle: sl st, ch 3, 2 dc in one st, sl st in next st, repeat around.

Add a fine pale blue stitched band where crown meets brim. Sew the hat at an angle so the white ruffle rests partly over one ear and the forehead, matching the image.

Lace Handkerchief

The bunny holds a small white lace-edged cloth in one hand. This piece can be fabric lace or crochet. For a crochet version, keep it airy and soft.

1. With white, ch 12.
2. Work 8 to 10 rows of sc or mesh pattern.
3. Edge all sides with small picot-style lace using ch 3 loops and sl sts.

Fold slightly and tack into the hand so it drapes naturally.

Flower Basket

The basket is small, cylindrical, and slightly flared at the top, with a narrow handle. It is decorated with many tiny pastel flowers. The base colors are cream and pale yellow.

Basket Base

1. With cream or pale yellow, 6 sc in MR.
2. Inc to 12.
3. (Sc, inc) around to 18.
4. Work 1 rnd BLO.
5. Sc around 5 to 7 rnds for basket sides.

Add a pale yellow band near the upper or lower section to match the image. The basket should be squat, not tall.

Handle

1. Ch enough to span one side of the basket to the other in an arch.
2. Work back with sc.
3. Sew securely to both sides.

Tiny Basket Flowers

Make many very small French-knot-like crochet flowers or embroidered blossoms in pink, yellow, blue, and cream tones. Scatter them over the basket front and sides. Add tiny green leaf stitches between some blossoms.

The basket in the image looks dense with miniature blooms, so do not leave large empty spaces.

Narcissus Stems Make 3

The long flowers at the bunny’s feet are a finishing detail that completes the spring garden mood. Each stem is green with a white flower and yellow center.

Stem

1. With green, ch to desired stem length.
2. Starting in second ch from hook, sl st or sc back along the chain.

For sturdier stems, crochet over floral wire or insert wire after finishing. Wrap with yarn if needed.

Petals

1. With white, make 6 petals separately:
   • Ch 5
   • Starting in second ch: sc, hdc, dc, hdc
2. Make 6 petals per flower.

Flower Center

1. With yellow, make a tiny round:
   • 4 or 5 sc in MR

Sew six petals around the center and then sew the flower to the stem tip. Shape the petals so they lie open and flat, as shown in the image.

Mini Bunny

The mini bunny is a smaller companion with caramel brown body color, dark eyes, long ears, and a matching yellow-and-blue outfit. It also wears a small hat with a flower. Its proportions mirror the large bunny but with a simpler finish.

Head

1. With caramel, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. (Sc, inc) around. (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
5. (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
6. Sc around 6 rnds. (30)

Insert small eyes low on the face with a narrow gap. Embroider a tiny cream or brown muzzle and nose. The mini bunny has a smaller face area but still a gentle expression.

1. (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
2. Sc around 1 rnd. (24)
3. (2 sc, dec) around. (18)

Stuff and close later when joining to the body.

Ears Make 2

1. Ch 9.
2. Work an oval around the chain to create a narrow ear.
3. Work 3 to 4 more rounds evenly.

The ears should droop and sit close to the head. One ear may fall slightly behind the hat.

Mini Dress

Use the same color story as the large bunny. Make a simple fitted cream bodice, a yellow band, pale blue front panel shapes, and a yellow scalloped hem. Keep the panel count low so the details stay readable at small scale.

Add a tiny yellow motif at the chest if possible. Even a single raised knot with petal stitches can echo the larger flower.

Mini Hat

Work a tiny yellow hat with a narrow white brim and pale blue band. Add one miniature yellow flower on the band. Sew it slightly tilted.

Styling Tips for Accuracy

• Keep the large bunny head noticeably larger than the torso.
• Make the ears long enough to reach well below the jaw and near the shoulder line.
• Use very light blue trim, not a strong blue.
• Use a warm buttery yellow rather than a bright lemon tone.
• The dress should look elegant and balanced, never bulky.
• The flower basket should be richly decorated with tiny blooms.
• The shoes need visible white petals with yellow centers.
• The hat should sit tilted, not centered flat on top.
• The mini bunny should clearly coordinate with the large bunny, but remain simpler.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the face first, because the expression carries the whole piece. The eyes should look level and calm. The nose should be small, centered, and softly stitched. Keep the mouth delicate.

Before finishing, compare both ears, both arms, and both legs from the front. Adjust any tilt so the bunny stands neatly. Secure all accessories with strong hidden stitches.

Care Notes

Display this set away from constant direct sunlight to help preserve the soft cream, yellow, and blue tones. If it is intended for decor, handle the flowers, hat, and basket gently since they contain many small details.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and secure
• Ears even in length and position
• Dress panels balanced
• Shell hem smooth and flat
• Shoes aligned
• Hat tilted neatly
• Basket handle secure
• Mini bunny colors matching the main doll
• Narcissus stems shaped cleanly

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean only when possible using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking pieces with attached accessories or embroidery. Reshape while drying and lay flat on a towel. Store in a clean, dry box or cabinet to protect the lace trim, stitched flowers, and facial embroidery.
