Yarn Notes and Scale

The original image shows tight stitches with excellent structure. Use a hook smaller than your yarn label suggests so the fabric stays dense and polished. The bunny should stand tall with a rounded head, narrow neck, gently tapered torso, slim arms, long floppy ears, and modestly shaped legs hidden under the dress.

The proportions matter more than the exact yarn brand. The bunny is about three and a half times the height of the little sheep. The head is slightly oversized and takes up nearly one-third of the bunny’s total visible height. The skirt begins high on the waist and ends around mid-calf.

General Construction Overview

This set includes four main crochet elements: the large bunny doll, the small sheep doll, a squat perfume bottle, and loose decorative flowers. The bunny is built from legs upward with a separate head and ears. Clothing is mostly separate, but the final styling depends on careful layering and hand sewing.

The little sheep is made as a compact character with a rounded face, tiny ears, soft woolly bonnet, simple dress, and a miniature vase bouquet. The perfume bottle and flowers are quick pieces, but they are important because they create the exact still-life mood seen in the display.

Large Bunny

Legs Make 2

Use main bunny yarn. The visible legs are slim and mostly hidden by the skirt, so keep them neat and cylindrical rather than chunky. Stuff lightly at the foot and lower leg, then only very lightly above that so the skirt falls smoothly.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4: sc around (18)
5. R5: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc (14)
6. R6: sc around (14)
7. R7: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc (13)
8. R8-R18: sc around (13)

Fasten off first leg. Make the second leg the same, but do not fasten off. Add a little stuffing in the foot area and shape the toe softly. The feet should be narrow, because the shoes will sit over them later and create the finished rounded slipper shape.

Body

Join the legs with the second leg yarn. The body in the image is slender with a soft childlike posture. It is not wide or barrel-shaped. Focus on a smooth waist and slightly rounded lower torso so the skirt can sit naturally without adding bulk.

1. R19: ch 3 and join to first leg, 13 sc around first leg, 3 sc across ch, 13 sc around second leg, 3 sc across other side of ch (32)
2. R20-R23: sc around (32)
3. R24: (6 sc, dec) x 4 (28)
4. R25-R27: sc around (28)
5. R28: (5 sc, dec) x 4 (24)
6. R29-R31: sc around (24)
7. R32: (4 sc, dec) x 4 (20)
8. R33-R35: sc around (20)
9. R36: BLO sc around (20)
10. R37-R40: sc around (20)
11. R41: (3 sc, dec) x 4 (16)
12. R42-R45: sc around (16)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff the body firmly at the hips and midsection, but keep the upper chest softer. The neck in the photo is modest and smooth, not very long. If you want extra support, insert a short cotton swab stick or wrapped wire core before attaching the head, but pad it well.

Arms Make 2

The arms are long, slim, and relaxed. They reach to about the upper skirt area when attached. They do not flare dramatically at the hand. Stuff only the lower half so they drape inward gently, matching the sweet calm pose in the image.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3-R5: sc around (12)
4. R6: (4 sc, dec) x 2 (10)
5. R7-R20: sc around (10)
6. R21: flatten and crochet 5 sc through both sides to close

Leave a long tail for sewing. Before attaching, roll the closed edge slightly so the hand ends look smooth, not flat. The arms should angle downward and slightly forward.

Head

The bunny’s head is round and broad with soft cheeks and a gentle lower face. It is not pointed. The eye placement is wide and low on the face, which creates the innocent expression. Work tightly and stuff very firmly so the head stays beautifully spherical.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x 6 (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x 6 (42)
8. R8: (6 sc, inc) x 6 (48)
9. R9-R18: sc around (48)
10. Insert safety eyes between R12 and R13, about 9 stitches apart
11. R19: (6 sc, dec) x 6 (42)
12. R20: (5 sc, dec) x 6 (36)
13. R21: (4 sc, dec) x 6 (30)
14. R22: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24)
15. R23: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)

Stuff very firmly. Continue if you want a closed head, or stop at 18 stitches for easier neck attachment.

1. R24: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail if closing fully. Shape the cheeks with your fingers while the stuffing is still adjustable.

Muzzle and Nose Detailing

The image shows a very subtle nose and mouth rather than a protruding muzzle. Keep this area almost flat. Embroider a tiny vertical nose triangle in blush-taupe thread centered between the eyes and slightly below them.

• Place the nose around the level of R15-R16
• Make a small upside-down triangle or soft satin-stitched wedge
• Add one short vertical stitch down from the nose
• Add two tiny angled mouth stitches
• Use light brown for eyebrows, curved gently upward and outward
• Add faint blush shading on both cheeks

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, narrow, and soft. They hang straight down with a mild outward curve near the lower ends. They are not heavily stuffed. The top attachment is broad enough to sit naturally at the side crown of the head.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4-R8: sc around (18)
5. R9: (7 sc, dec) x 2 (16)
6. R10-R14: sc around (16)
7. R15: (6 sc, dec) x 2 (14)
8. R16-R24: sc around (14)
9. R25: (5 sc, dec) x 2 (12)
10. R26-R34: sc around (12)
11. Flatten top opening and close with 6 sc through both sides

📌Thank you for reading the article

Do not stuff, or add only a trace of stuffing at the upper third if your yarn is limp. Sew the ears to the head slightly below the top center line so they fall close to the face.

Bunny Clothing

Underskirt Foundation

The dress in the image has a smooth structured skirt with a delicate lacy hem. The upper body wears a sleeveless lace camisole with very thin straps. Make the skirt first so you can check the overall silhouette before adding trim and floral garland.

Work from the waist downward in joined rounds.

1. Ch 24 and join, or create a foundation round that fits the bunny waist snugly
2. R1-R3: 24 sc around
3. R4: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
4. R5-R7: sc around (30)
5. R8: (4 sc, inc) x 6 (36)
6. R9-R11: sc around (36)
7. R12: (5 sc, inc) x 6 (42)
8. R13-R15: sc around (42)
9. R16: (6 sc, inc) x 6 (48)
10. R17-R20: sc around (48)

The skirt should be cylindrical with only a slight flare. It should sit just below the camisole top and fall to mid-calf. The image does not show a dramatic bell shape. Block lightly if needed before adding the hem edging.

Skirt Hem Lace

The hem is delicate, open, and airy. Keep it refined rather than frilly.

1. Join cream yarn to lower edge
2. Round 1: (sc, ch 3, skip 2) around
3. Round 2: in each ch-3 space work (sc, ch 4, sc)
4. Round 3: in each ch-4 space work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc)

This creates a small scalloped lace border similar to the one in the photo. Fasten off and weave ends invisibly.

Lace Camisole Top

The camisole is fitted and cropped, ending right above the waistline. The center has an open lace motif, while the top and bottom sections are denser. Thin shoulder straps rise from the top corners and sit close to the neck.

Work the top in rows so you can shape it precisely.

1. Ch 20
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across (19)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across
4. Row 3: ch 1, turn, 4 sc, ch 1 skip 1, 1 sc, ch 1 skip 1, 1 sc, ch 1 skip 1, 4 sc
5. Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc and 1 sc in each ch space
6. Row 5: ch 1, turn, 3 sc, ch 2 skip 2, 3 sc, ch 2 skip 2, 3 sc, ch 2 skip 2, 3 sc
7. Row 6: ch 1, turn, sc across, placing 2 sc in each ch-2 space
8. Row 7: ch 1, turn, sc across
9. Row 8: ch 1, turn, BLO sc across for a neat lower edge

Wrap around the bunny torso and seam at the back. Add two narrow straps from the front upper corners to the back. Each strap can be 12 to 16 chains, depending on your gauge. Sew securely so the top hugs the body without gaping.

Top Lower Picot Edge

The bottom edge of the camisole has tiny decorative points.

1. Join yarn at lower edge
2. Work (sc, ch 2, sl st in second ch) every 2 stitches around the lower front edge

This gives the small pointed trim visible in the image.

Waist Garland with Pink Roses

This floral garland is essential. It sits where the top meets the skirt and runs across the front in a gentle curve. Use a thin chain or stem cord as the base, then sew on roses, leaves, and a few trailing vine stitches.

Garland Base

1. With sage green, ch enough to span the front waist from side seam to side seam
2. Sl st back along the chain for a firmer cord

📌Thank you for reading the article

Mini Roses Make 5 to 7

1. With dusty pink, ch 12
2. Starting in second ch from hook: work (1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc) in alternating stitches to form a petal strip
3. Roll tightly from one end and stitch the base

Leaves Make 8 to 10

1. Ch 5
2. Starting in second ch: sl st, sc, hdc, sc
3. Work on other side of chain: sc, hdc, sc, sl st

Sew the roses and leaves onto the garland. Add a few loose green embroidery stems beneath for the trailing look. Attach the garland across the upper skirt front. Add one small pearl detail if you want to mirror the bright little accent in the image.

Bunny Shoes Make 2

The shoes are soft blush Mary Jane-style slippers with a rounded front. They are low on the ankle and very neat. Keep them symmetrical and snug so they do not look oversized under the skirt.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4: sc around in BLO (18)
5. R5: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc (14)
6. R6: sc around (14)
7. R7: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc (13)
8. R8: sc around (13)

Fasten off and slip the shoe over the leg foot. For the strap, ch 8 to 10 in blush, sew one end near the outer side, bring it across the front ankle, and stitch the other end at the inner side. Add a tiny cream stitch on the toe if desired.

Head Scarf or Lace Mantilla

The bunny wears a delicate crocheted lace drape over the crown. It reads like a soft bonnet veil rather than a fitted cap. This piece must sit lightly over the head, exposing the face while framing the ears and upper cheeks.

Work a semicircle.

1. Ch 4, join into ring
2. Row 1: ch 3, 11 dc in ring
3. Row 2: turn, ch 3, 2 dc in first stitch, dc across, 2 dc in last stitch
4. Row 3: turn, ch 3, dc across with 2 increases spaced evenly
5. Row 4: turn, create eyelets with pattern such as (dc, ch 1, skip 1) across
6. Row 5: fill eyelets with dc
7. Row 6: repeat lace eyelet row with edge increases
8. Row 7: scallop edge using (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) in spaces

The final semicircle should cover the upper back of the head and drape gently toward one ear. Sew lightly at a few hidden points so it stays in place without flattening the head shape.

Small Sheep Companion

The companion figure is a tiny sheep-like doll with a warm cream face, blush dress, white wool cap, tiny ears, and a bouquet in a small vase. The body is simple and compact. The head is large relative to the body, which gives it a sweet nursery-toy appearance.

Legs and Body

1. Make 2 legs: 6 sc in MR, R2 inc to 12, R3-R5 sc around, fasten off first leg
2. Join both legs and continue around for 24 stitches total
3. R6-R8: sc around (24)
4. R9: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
5. R10-R12: sc around (18)
6. R13: BLO sc around (18)
7. R14-R15: sc around (18)
8. R16: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)
9. R17-R18: sc around (12)

Stuff gently. The lower body becomes the skirt shape once dressed, so do not overstuff the hips.

Head

1. R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
6. R6-R10: sc around (30)
7. Insert tiny eyes between R7 and R8
8. R11: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24)
9. R12: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
10. R13: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff and close. Embroider a tiny nose and smiling mouth in dark brown thread. Keep it very small and centered.

Arms Make 2

1. R1: 6 sc in MR
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: sc around
4. R4: (4 sc, dec) x 2 (10)
5. R5-R8: sc around (10)
6. Flatten and close

Ears Make 2

The sheep ears are tiny rounded nubs that extend sideways from the head.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR
2. R2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3. R3: sc around
4. Flatten and sew to sides of head

Sheep Bonnet

The bonnet combines a blush headband with a fluffy white front edge. Make a shallow cap in blush, then add a textured white row around the face opening.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
5. R5-R6: sc around (24)
6. R7: work only partway around to create a face opening, turning in rows for 2 to 3 rows

Add white bobble or puff stitches around the face opening to create the woolly trim. Add short ties if desired, though the image suggests the bonnet is simply fitted and sewn in place.

Sheep Dress

The sheep dress is simple: cream yoke with a scalloped edge and a blush lower skirt.

1. For the skirt, chain to fit body waist and join
2. Work 4 to 5 rounds of sc in blush
3. Add a cream upper row and a tiny shell edge at the neckline or chest

Sew the dress onto the body so it stays smooth. The sheep is holding a vase bouquet, so the arms can be attached slightly forward as if cradling the accessory.

Mini Vase Bouquet

This tiny accessory is important because it finishes the sheep’s pose. Use pale gray-lavender or soft cool cream for the vase.

Vase

1. R1: 6 sc in MR
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3: sc around
4. R4: (1 sc, dec) x 4, 4 sc (10)
5. R5-R6: sc around (10)
6. R7: (1 sc, inc) x 5 (15)
7. R8: sc around (15)

Stuff lightly. Flatten the opening a bit and sew it closed partly around the stems.

Mini Flowers for Vase

• Rose buds: make 2 small pink rolls using short petal strips
• Open white flower: 5 petals made from chains and small stitches around a center ring
• Leaf sprigs: 2 or 3 tiny green leaves stitched onto a stem

Gather the flowers into a small bunch and insert into the vase. Stitch the bouquet firmly so it keeps the upright arrangement shown in the image.

Perfume Bottle

The perfume bottle on the left is a charming prop with a butter-yellow body, cream label, and blush cap. It is rectangular with rounded corners. Make two flat panels and a side strip for crisp shaping, or work as a compact three-dimensional block.

Front and Back Panels Make 2

1. Ch 11
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across (10)
3. Rows 2-14: ch 1, turn, sc across

Fasten off both panels.

Side Strip

1. Ch 6
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across (5)
3. Rows 2-38: ch 1, turn, sc across

📌Thank you for reading the article

Sew the strip around one panel, add a tiny amount of stuffing, then sew the second panel on. Round the corners gently with your fingers.

Cap

1. R1: 6 sc in MR
2. R2: inc around (12)
3. R3-R4: sc around (12)
4. R5: dec around to shape a dome

Attach to the bottle top. Add a cream rectangular label to the front. You may embroider a tiny decorative word if you like, but keep it subtle. The visual goal is a luxury perfume silhouette, not readable text.

Loose Lisianthus-Style Flowers

Several loose flowers lie on the wooden surface beside the bottle. These should be soft, romantic, and slightly cupped. Make three to five blossoms in blush, cream, and lavender, each on a small green stem.

Open Flower

1. With flower color, 5 sc in MR
2. In each stitch work: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st

This creates five rounded petals. Cup the petals inward with your fingers. Stitch to a green stem chain.

Bud Flower

1. Ch 8
2. Work small hdc and dc combination along the chain
3. Roll into a bud and secure

Stem

1. With green yarn, ch 8 to 12
2. Sl st back along chain

Add one tiny leaf to each stem for the same graceful finish visible in the image.

Lace Cloth Under Bottle

The bottle rests on a tiny white cloth with a lace-like edge. Make a small rectangle and border it with openwork.

1. Ch 12
2. Rows 1-8: sc across
3. Border round: (sc, ch 3, skip 1) around the edges
4. Final round: small shell or picot edge in each space

Lightly flatten and block. Place the bottle on top for display.

Assembly of the Bunny Body and Outfit

Attach the head to the neck securely with strong stitches. Check that the face looks straight from the front and slightly lowered in a gentle humble pose, just like the image. Sew the arms at the upper side body, angled down and slightly inward.

Fit the skirt onto the body first. Then add the camisole top so it overlaps the skirt waist neatly. Sew the straps to the back and adjust the neckline so it sits close to the neck without climbing too high. The bunny’s upper chest should remain visible above the top.

Place the shoes on the feet and stitch them invisibly at the sole and ankle. Attach the floral waist garland after the skirt and top are fully positioned. Finally, pin the lace head drape to the crown and one side, then stitch with tiny hidden tacks.

Positioning the Companion Display

Place the sheep companion to the bunny’s right side if you are arranging the full still life. The sheep should sit slightly lower and closer to the bunny’s skirt hem. The bouquet vase should face outward so the flowers remain visible from the front.

The perfume bottle should sit on the bunny’s left side on top of the lace cloth. Scatter the loose flowers just in front of the bottle. This composition helps the full set resemble the original romantic tabletop display.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

• Check that the bunny eyes are level and wide-set
• Keep the nose tiny and centered, with only a short mouth detail
• Add faint blush low on the cheeks, not too close to the eyes
• Sew ears so they hang straight and frame the face softly
• Angle the eyebrows lightly upward for a calm, sweet expression
• Attach the lace head drape after the ears so the fall looks natural
• Make sure the sheep face is tiny, gentle, and slightly smiling

Care Notes

• Display pieces stay neatest when handled gently
• Avoid hanging the bunny by the ears or dress straps
• Keep the perfume bottle and bouquet props separate during storage
• Store away from direct sunlight to preserve soft blush and cream tones
• Reshape the lace edges with clean fingers after moving the set

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head centered and firmly attached
• Ears equal in length and placement
• Camisole fitted snugly with even straps
• Skirt hem level all the way around
• Floral garland balanced across the waist
• Shoes matched and secured
• Sheep bouquet attached tightly
• Perfume bottle corners shaped evenly
• All yarn tails woven in securely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap only when needed. Do not soak pieces with stuffing unless absolutely necessary. If washing becomes necessary, hand wash gently in cool water, press in a towel, reshape carefully, and dry flat away from heat.

For long-term preservation, wrap each item in clean tissue and place it in a breathable box. Do not crush the lace head drape, flower petals, or sheep bouquet. A little periodic reshaping will keep the full set polished, balanced, and display-ready.
