Camellia Moon-Parlor Bunny – Crochet

Camellia Moon-Parlor Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi set features a long-eared bunny dressed in a soft rose ensemble with a rounded beret, fitted jacket, flared skirt, scalloped floral trim, Mary Jane shoes, bouquet, and flower handbag. The look feels like a handmade heirloom bunny doll, collectible crochet rabbit, and luxury nursery gift all in one.

The companion kitten echoes the same romantic styling with a petite jacket, matching skirt, tilted floral hat, and crossbody bag, creating a display-ready crochet toy set with strong appeal for shoppers searching for handmade stuffed animals, artisan nursery decor, and amigurumi gift ideas for girls.

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 makes two figures and their accessories:

  • A large standing bunny with long floppy ears
  • A matching beret with a layered camellia flower
  • A rose-pink dress with cream floral edging
  • A short open-front jacket with two vertical button panels
  • Mary Jane shoes
  • A small flower handbag with folded cloth tucked inside
  • A tied bouquet of roses
  • A small companion kitten with matching outfit and bag

The proportions in the image are sweet and formal rather than cartoonish. The bunny has a large rounded head, a compact torso hidden under the dress, medium-length arms, sturdy legs, and very long ears that fall below shoulder level. The dress is the visual center of the piece, so keep stitch tension neat and even.

Materials

  • Light worsted or DK cotton yarn in cream, dusty pink, and soft sage green
  • Small amount of white yarn for trims and the kitten muzzle
  • 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm crochet hook, chosen to create dense fabric
  • Black safety eyes for bunny
  • Very small black safety eyes for kitten, or embroidered eyes if preferred
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Thin floral wire or wrapped wire for bouquet stems, optional
  • Cardboard or plastic sole inserts, optional
  • Blush powder or soft pastel, optional

Color Placement

  • Cream: bunny head, ears, legs, parts of shoes, beret, flower centers, kitten head details
  • Dusty pink: dress, jacket, shoe uppers, hatband, flowers, handbag, kitten clothing
  • Sage green: leaf accents, bag handle accents, bouquet stems, kitten hat leaves
  • White or warm cream: floral hem trim and tiny cloth peeking from handbag

Abbreviations

  • MR = magic ring
  • ch = chain
  • sc = single crochet
  • inc = increase
  • dec = invisible decrease
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • BLO = back loop only
  • FLO = front loop only

Finished Size

Using DK cotton and a small hook, the large bunny will be about 11 to 13 inches tall from feet to top of beret. The kitten will be about 4 to 5 inches tall. Exact size depends on yarn and tension, but the large doll should look substantial and the kitten should stand close to ankle height beside it.

Construction Notes

  • Work the main figures mostly in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
  • Stuff gradually and firmly, especially the head, legs, and shoes.
  • The bunny dress and jacket are separate garments.
  • The floral hem trim is added after the skirt is complete.
  • The beret is made separately and stitched to the head after the ears are attached.
  • The bouquet and bags are small finishing pieces but are important to the exact look.

Large Bunny

Legs Make 2

Start in cream.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.

  6. Round 6: sc 15.
  7. Round 7: BLO sc 15.
  8. Rounds 8-18: sc 15.

Lightly flatten the lower foot so the doll can stand better. Stuff the foot firmly and the upper leg moderately. Fasten off first leg. Make second leg but do not fasten off.

Body

Join the legs with 4 chains. This creates a natural stance similar to the image, where the bunny stands with a small gap between the feet.

  1. Round 1: sc around first leg, sc across chain, sc around second leg, sc across opposite side of chain. 38.
  2. Round 2: sc all around.
  3. Round 3: sc 16, inc, sc 4, inc, sc 16. 40.

  10. Round 12: sc 30.
  11. Round 13: dec evenly 3 times. 27.
  12. Round 14: sc 27.

Stuff the body firmly but keep the neck opening centered and neat.

  1. Round 1: in BLO, inc evenly around from 27 to 36.
  2. Round 2: sc 36.
  3. Round 3: inc every 6 stitches. 42.

  11. Round 17: sc 4, dec around. 30.
  12. Round 18: sc 3, dec around. 24.

Stuff the head very firmly, shaping the cheeks so the face looks softly rounded. The head in the image is not elongated, so avoid overstuffing vertically.

  1. Round 19: sc 2, dec around. 18.
  2. Round 20: dec around to close.

Face Shaping and Embroidery

Embroider a tiny horizontal nose in dusty pink or pale brown, centered about two rounds below the eyes. Add a short vertical line below it. The expression should be calm and delicate. Add faint blush low on the cheeks for the soft rosy look shown in the image.

Flatten and close the opening with a few stitches. Do not stuff. The ears should be soft and drape naturally. Stitch them to the head slightly below the top sides so they fall downward and remain partly under the beret.

Beret

In cream.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
  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.

  8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc around. 48.
  9. Rounds 9-12: sc 48.
  10. Round 13: 6 sc, dec around. 42.
  11. Round 14: sc 42.
  12. Round 15: 5 sc, dec around. 36.
  13. Round 16: sc 36.

The hat should dome gently and sit low across the forehead. Add a tiny cream nub at the center top by stitching a small wrapped knot or mini crochet stem. Stitch a dusty pink band across the front half of the beret using a narrow strip:

  1. Ch enough to fit around the lower hat band front, about 26 to 28 chains.
  2. Row 1: sl st or sc across for a slim band.

Attach the band slightly above the edge line. The rose sits on the bunny’s right side.

Camellia Flower for Beret

In dusty pink, make one large layered flower.

  1. Ch 26.
  2. Row 1: beginning in second ch from hook, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc in next, then alternate petal groups of 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc into chains across, ending with a sc.
  3. Roll the strip from one end into a flat spiral bloom.
  4. Stitch securely at the base.

For extra fullness, make a second shorter strip and wrap around the center. Add two small sage green leaves under the flower. Stitch the finished flower to the right side of the beret so it overlaps the pink band.

Arms Make 2

Begin in cream.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
  2. Round 2: inc around. 12.
  3. Round 3: sc 12.
  4. Round 4: change to dusty pink in the last stitch of the round.
  5. Rounds 5-15: sc 12.
  6. Round 16: sc 5, dec, sc 5. 11.
  7. Round 17: sc 11.

Stuff the hand area lightly and the sleeve only a little. Flatten the top and sew the arms at shoulder height. They should angle slightly downward, allowing one hand to hold the bouquet and the other to support the handbag.

Dress

The dress is a separate garment made from the neckline down. It has long sleeves visually covered by the jacket, a fitted upper body, and a wide skirt with two bands of cream flower trim.

Bodice

In dusty pink, chain to fit around the neck. Make sure it slips over the head comfortably if you prefer a back opening. You may also make the bodice closed and dress the doll before final assembly.

  1. Foundation: ch 30, join carefully.
  2. Round 1: sc around. 30.
  3. Round 2: sc around.
  4. Round 3: increase 6 stitches evenly. 36.
  5. Round 4: sc around.
  6. Round 5: work even, shaping lightly over the chest.

If needed, split for armholes by skipping a few stitches on each side and rejoining below. Keep the bodice smooth and close-fitting. The neckline in the image is plain and modest.

Skirt

  1. Round 1: from lower bodice edge, work 2 sc in every 3rd stitch around.
  2. Round 2: sc around.
  3. Round 3: increase every 5th stitch.
  4. Round 4: sc around.
  5. Round 5: increase every 6th stitch.
  6. Rounds 6-11: sc around, adding one more increase round if you want extra flare.

The skirt should stand out in a bell shape without becoming too ruffled. The image shows a full but controlled silhouette. Finish with one round in BLO to create a neat lower edge before adding the floral trim.

Floral Hem Trim

Make many tiny cream flowers and stitch them around the skirt in two bands: one near the lower middle section and one at the hem.

For each flower:

  1. In MR, work 5 petals as: ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
  2. Tighten ring and fasten off with a tail for sewing.

Make enough flowers to circle the dress twice. Stitch them side by side so they overlap slightly. This creates the rounded clustered trim visible in the image. Do not space them too far apart. The floral edging is dense and decorative, not sparse.

Jacket

The jacket is short, open at the front, and ends above the widest part of the skirt. It has straight sleeves and two vertical cream button panels made from separate circles.

In dusty pink, work in rows.

  1. Row 1: ch 28, sc across.
  2. Rows 2-5: sc across, shaping gently at the armhole edges if desired.
  3. Split into fronts and back for armholes, then continue each section separately.
  4. Leave a curved front opening on both sides.

Seam shoulders. Add sleeves by joining yarn around armholes and working rounds of sc for a simple straight sleeve, about 10 to 12 rounds long. The cuffs are plain, with no strong flare.

Button Panels

Make 10 small cream circles total, 5 for each front panel.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
  2. Round 2: very slight increase to 8 or 9 stitches if needed for a flatter disc.

Fasten off and flatten. Stitch them in two parallel front columns. Each column should have 5 round motifs. Add a narrow cream border strip under each column if you want the same structured look as the image.

Shoes

The bunny wears pink Mary Jane shoes with cream soles and a narrow strap.

Make 2.

  1. Using cream, make an oval sole to fit the foot: start with ch 7, work around both sides with increases at the ends for 16 to 18 stitches total.
  2. Work 2 rounds even.
  3. Change to dusty pink and work one round in BLO.
  4. Continue shaping upper by decreasing across the toe over 2 or 3 rounds.
  5. Leave the instep open.

For the strap, attach dusty pink yarn at one side, ch enough to cross the foot, and sew to the opposite side. The strap should sit fairly high like a classic Mary Jane. Stitch the shoes to the feet if you want a permanent display finish.

Handbag

The handbag is a small structured basket-style purse in pink and cream with sage handles, a large flower on the front, and a folded cloth peeking out.

Bag Body

  1. Using dusty pink, make a small oval base.
  2. Work upward in sc for several rounds.
  3. Add a cream upper band for the rim.

The bag should be squat and rounded, not tall. Keep the opening slightly wide.

Handles

With sage green, make two slender handles by chaining and slip stitching back. Attach each side securely.

Front Flower

Make one medium dusty pink rose using the same rolled strip method as the beret flower, but smaller. Add one or two tiny green leaves behind it. Stitch the flower to the front center of the handbag.

Folded Cloth

With white or cream yarn, make a tiny rectangle:

  1. Ch 6.
  2. Rows 1-3: sc across.
  3. Add a tiny pink embroidered dot or edging if desired.

Fold loosely and tuck it into the bag opening so one corner shows.

Bouquet

The bouquet contains several pale pink roses with green stems gathered at the bottom.

Make 5 to 7 tiny flowers.

  1. Create each flower as a narrow rolled strip or a tiny layered petal blossom.
  2. Attach each flower to a wrapped wire stem or a crocheted chain stem.
  3. Bundle stems together with green yarn wrapping.

The bouquet should be compact and rounded. Sew or tack it lightly into the bunny’s hand after final posing.

Companion Kitten

The small figure is a kitten rather than a bunny. It has pointed ears, a white muzzle, tiny pink nose, black eyes, short limbs, and matching rose clothing.

Head and Body

Work similarly to a basic amigurumi cat with a large head and small body.

  1. Head: start with 6 sc in MR, increase to about 36 stitches, work several rounds even, then decrease closed.
  2. Add safety eyes low and wide for a sweet expression.
  3. Embroider a tiny pink nose and short mouth.
  4. For muzzle, stitch on a tiny white oval or lightly needle-sculpt the face and embroider over it.
  5. Body: make a small pear-shaped form, narrower at the neck and slightly fuller at the hips.

Cat Ears

Make 2 small triangles in cream or taupe-cream.

  1. Round 1: 4 sc in MR.
  2. Round 2: inc to 8.
  3. Round 3: sc around.
  4. Flatten into triangles and stitch to the top corners of the head.

Cat Arms and Legs

Make simple tiny tubes. Keep stuffing light. The kitten in the image is meant to stand beside the bunny, not sit.

Cat Outfit

Use the same dusty pink and cream palette. The kitten wears:

  • A small jacket with cream front circles
  • A flared skirt
  • A small tilted hat with pink rose and green leaf
  • A crossbody bag with a rose accent

Keep the skirt proportionally full, just like the bunny’s, but use only one row of trim if needed due to the smaller scale. The charm comes from matching the silhouette of the large doll.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

  • Sew the bunny ears first, then position the beret low across the forehead.
  • Attach the flower to the bunny’s right side.
  • Sew arms slightly angled down.
  • Dress the bunny, then add the jacket on top.
  • Attach shoes securely if used as a display doll.
  • Add light blush to cheeks and a tiny touch on the kitten nose area.
  • Place the handbag on one arm and stitch the bouquet into the opposite hand.
  • For the kitten, tilt the hat slightly and sling the bag diagonally across the body.

Care Notes

  • Display indoors away from strong sunlight.
  • Keep away from moisture to preserve shape.
  • Handle the bouquet and floral trims gently.
  • If making for a child, replace safety eyes with embroidery.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head centered and firmly stuffed
  • Ears evenly placed and naturally draped
  • Beret fitted low and flower attached on the correct side
  • Dress flare balanced all around
  • Two rows of cream flower trim sewn evenly
  • Jacket fronts symmetrical with five cream circles on each side
  • Shoes level so the bunny stands properly
  • Handbag, cloth insert, bouquet, and kitten bag all attached securely

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or a cool hair dryer on very low airflow. Spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak, twist, or machine wash. Reshape by hand and dry flat. Store with tissue support inside hats or bags to help them keep their form.
