Gauge and Finished Size

Gauge is not critical, but tight stitches are important. The bunny should feel firm, smooth, and evenly stuffed with no visible gaps. Using the yarn and hook above, the bunny stands about 9 to 10 inches tall from the top of the bonnet to the soles of the shoes.

The bird is about 3 inches tall. The satchel is about 2 inches tall. The lace mat is about 2.5 inches square. The flower stem is about 4.5 to 5 inches long.

Color Placement Overview

• Head, legs, hands, and face: cream.
• Body, arms, bonnet outer edge, jacket, and skirt: warm beige.
• Shoes: blush and cream with a brown strap line.
• Coneflowers: muted orange centers, white petals, green stems.
• Face embroidery: soft beige-pink nose, brown mouth line, faint blush on cheeks.

Design Notes

This doll is built with a large rounded head, a narrower neck, a softly tapered torso, slim dangling legs, and long drooping ears that sit low at the sides of the head. The jacket is short and ends above the skirt, while the skirt flares gently without becoming stiff.

The bonnet frames the face closely and sits low enough to create a neat oval opening around the eyes and muzzle. The edging is lightly luffled, not dramatic. The overall silhouette should feel tidy, sweet, and slightly old-fashioned.

Fasten off and close the opening.

Indented Face Shaping

Use matching cream thread and a long doll needle. Mark the eye corners mentally before shaping. Pull gently from the lower eye area to the base of the head to make the eyes look slightly deeper set. Do not over-tighten.

Create a tiny muzzle definition by taking two short stitches downward from the nose point toward the neck base and pulling very lightly. The face in the image is smooth and sweet, so shaping should remain subtle.

Flatten the ear. Crochet 8 sc through both sides across the top edge. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Do not stuff, or add only a touch of filling in the lower half if your yarn is very soft. The ears should drape downward naturally.

Arms Make 2

Start in cream.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. (12)

7. Rnd 21: 3 sc, dec, 3 sc, dec. (8)
8. Rnd 22-24: sc around. (8)

Stuff the hand and lower arm lightly. Leave the upper arm softer so it rests close to the body. Flatten and crochet 4 sc through both sides. Fasten off with a long tail.

Tail

In cream.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 4: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)

Stuff lightly and fasten off. The tail should be a small neat puff, mostly hidden under the skirt.

Shoes Make 2

Start in cream.

1. Rnd 1: ch 6. Starting in second ch from hook: 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work on opposite side 3 sc, inc in last. (12)

6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, dec x3, 4 sc. (11)
7. Rnd 7: sc around. (11)

Fasten off. Make a strap by chaining 8 in brown-beige and sewing from one side of the shoe opening across the instep to the other side. Add a tiny blush or beige stitch at one side to suggest a buttoned Mary Jane strap.

Sew shoes permanently to the feet so the cream toe section faces forward and the blush section sits low like a neat little shoe body.

Skirt

The skirt is attached at the waist and worked downward in beige. The fit should be gentle, with a tidy flare rather than a dramatic circle.

With bunny upside down, join beige yarn in the front loop left from body rnd 21 if visible and comfortable to use. If not, join directly around the waist just above the legs.

1. Rnd 1: 24 sc evenly around.
2. Rnd 2: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (30)
4. Rnd 4: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
5. Rnd 5: sc around. (36)
6. Rnd 6: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
7. Rnd 7-10: sc around. (42)

The skirt on the image has very visible horizontal rows, so keep your tension even and avoid decorative stitch changes here.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off. Make two identical strips. Sew them vertically on the front skirt, leaving a center gap between them. They should begin under the jacket edge and stop before the scalloped hem.

Skirt Hem Edging

Join white yarn at lower edge.

1. Rnd 1: sc evenly around.
2. Rnd 2: sl st, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1, rep around for a soft shell edge.

The shell edge should remain shallow. Steam lightly if needed so it curves neatly and does not wobble.

Mini Coneflower Motifs for Skirt

Make 6 small flowers. Each flower has an orange center, white petals, and a green stitched base. These are tiny, so work slowly and keep them crisp.

Flower Center Make 6

In muted orange.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Petals for Each Center

Join white in any stitch of center.

1. In each of 6 stitches: ch 3, sl st in second ch from hook, hdc in next ch, sl st in next center stitch.

This creates 6 narrow petals. Slightly flatten the petals with your fingers so they spread like a daisy. Sew each flower along the lower front and side hem of the skirt. Add a few green straight stitches beneath each flower for leaves and stems.

Jacket

This short jacket is made in rows so the front opens in the center. It should sit neatly on the torso and end just above the widest part of the skirt.

In beige, ch 28.

1. Row 1: starting in second ch, sc 27. (27)
2. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc 4, inc, sc 4, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 4, inc, sc 4. (31)
3. Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc across. (31)
4. Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc 5, inc, sc 5, inc, sc 9, inc, sc 5, inc, sc 5. (35)
5. Row 5: ch 1, turn, sc across. (35)

Mark armhole sections after row 5 as follows: 7 front, 7 sleeve, 7 back, 7 sleeve, 7 front.

6. Row 6: ch 1, turn, sc 7, skip 7, ch 2, sc 7, skip 7, ch 2, sc 7. (23 plus 2 ch spaces)
7. Row 7-13: ch 1, turn, sc across, working into ch spaces. (23)

Fasten off. Sew side seams from lower sleeve opening to hem, leaving the front open.

Sleeves

Join beige yarn in armhole opening.

1. Rnd 1: work 12 sc evenly around.
2. Rnd 2-10: sc around. (12)
3. Rnd 11: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. (10)
4. Rnd 12-14: sc around. (10)

Fasten off. The sleeves should be straight and slightly roomy, not puffed.

Jacket Front Bands

Join beige along one front edge. Work 1 row of sc evenly from hem to neckline. Fasten off. Repeat on other side.

On the right front, sew 3 tiny buttons vertically. On the left front, make matching thread loops or simply stitch the jacket closed invisibly between buttons. The image shows the buttons clearly, while the opening remains tidy and flat.

Jacket Lower Pocket Flaps

The jacket has two rounded lower flaps that resemble decorative pockets or short petal-shaped panels.

Arrange petals so they point downward and outward. Sew one flower to each flap. Add tiny beige or green anchoring stitches to keep petals flat.

Bonnet

The bonnet frames the face and includes a soft ruffled crown edge, side ear coverage, and long tie strings. It should sit close to the head, not loose like a sun hat.

In beige, begin at crown.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)

1. Rnd 1: sc evenly all around opening.
2. Rnd 2: 1 sc, 1 hdc in next, 1 dc in next, 1 hdc in next, 1 sc in next, rep to create a softly rippled edge.

The ruffle should be delicate, not frilly. Steam lightly if needed.

Bonnet Tie Strings

At each lower front corner of bonnet, join beige yarn and chain 24. Return with sl st in each chain for a firm cord. Fasten off. Tie under the chin in a soft bow.

Face Embroidery

Embroider the nose one row below the eye line using a beige-pink yarn or embroidery thread. Make a tiny horizontal triangle about 2 stitches wide. Then add a short vertical stitch downward and a very small split mouth in brown.

Add soft blush to cheeks with diluted fabric-safe color, pastel pencil, or a little cosmetic blush. Keep the cheeks low and faint. The expression should stay clean and gentle.

Assembly of Bunny Base

• Sew ears low on the head, beginning about 2 to 3 rounds behind the eye line.
• Angle each ear slightly outward, then let it hang straight down.
• Sew arms to the sides of the torso just below the neck.
• Sew tail centered on lower back.
• Dress the bunny in skirt and jacket, then place bonnet last.

Before stitching clothing permanently, stand the bunny upright and check proportions. The jacket should end above the skirt motifs, the ears should remain visible beneath the bonnet edge, and the shoes should peek out clearly under the hem.

Detailed Placement Guide

• Eyes: wide set and level.
• Nose: tiny and centered, one round below eye line.
• Ears: low and drooping, reaching close to shoulder level.
• Bonnet: face opening snug, ties resting under chin.
• Jacket buttons: centered vertically and visible.
• Jacket flaps: one on each lower front side, slightly rounded.
• Skirt flowers: scattered along lower front and side hem.
• Shoes: cream toe, blush body, narrow strap.

Styling Tips for an Accurate Look

Keep the beige yarn slightly warmer than the cream so the face stands out clearly inside the bonnet. Avoid strong contrast. This set depends on soft natural tones and small orange details that draw the eye gently toward the flowers and buttons.

When dressing the bunny, do not overstuff the torso after the jacket is added. A slightly softer body helps the jacket front lie close and keeps the doll looking polished instead of bulky.

The skirt should fall straight for the first few rows and only flare near the bottom. That shape is important for matching the neat silhouette in the display image.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

• Sew ears first, then check bonnet placement before securing the bonnet.
• Add the nose, mouth, and faint cheek color after the eyes and bonnet are in place.
• Sew jacket flaps only after the jacket is fitted on the bunny.
• Tack the skirt lightly at the waist if needed so it does not twist.
• Place accessories beside the bunny for display rather than attaching them permanently.

Care Notes

• Spot clean whenever possible.
• Keep display items away from heavy moisture.
• Do not machine wash if your satchel includes a cardboard insert or wired flower stem.
• Store flat or standing with light support so the bonnet and ears keep their shape.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are the ears even and hanging at the same height?
• Does the bonnet frame the face closely without covering the eyes?
• Do the jacket buttons sit straight in the center?
• Are the skirt lace panels aligned evenly?
• Do the cone flowers look balanced on skirt and jacket flaps?
• Do the shoes point forward when the bunny stands?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

• Use a soft dry brush to remove dust from bonnet ruffles, flower petals, and embroidered details.
• For light marks, dab gently with cool water and mild soap on a cloth, then blot dry.
• Never soak safety-eye dolls for long periods.
• Wrap accessories separately in acid-free tissue when storing.
• Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the blush, beige, and orange tones.
