Foxglove Porch Bunny – Crochet

This charming amigurumi set features a soft porch bunny dressed in a dusty rose outfit, a floral cloche hat, matching shoes, a tiny backpack, a petite watering can, a blooming foxglove stem, and a small companion doll. It is a lovely choice for collectors, nursery decor, spring display styling, and handmade gift shopping ideas.

The finished pieces have the look of a boutique crochet doll set, with delicate floral appliqué, layered pink tones, and a sweet heirloom feel. If you enjoy making artisan stuffed animals, premium amigurumi dolls, or handmade Easter bunny gifts for sale, this design creates a polished display with many beautiful details.

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

Overview

This design is worked as a complete decorative set. The main bunny is the centerpiece and is made with a rounded head, gentle muzzle shaping, long floppy ears, a simple neck, a softly stuffed body, and slightly weighted feet.

The outfit is built from separate pieces so the silhouette matches the image closely. The dress has a fitted upper section, narrow straps, a full skirt, and floral embellishment running down one side. The hat is a rounded cloche shape with a rolled brim and a small flower cluster at the side.

The accessories complete the porch scene. The tiny backpack is boxy and neat. The watering can is compact and rounded with a curved handle and angled spout. The foxglove stem is long and leafy, with downward-facing blossoms in several pink shades. The small companion figure echoes the styling of the main doll.

Skill Level

Intermediate

A confident beginner can make this set with patience, but several parts involve shaping, assembly accuracy, neat embroidery, and small floral pieces.

Gauge and Tension

Tight, even stitches are important for this set. The fabric should be firm enough that stuffing does not show through. Use a smaller hook if your rounds look open.

The image shows smooth, compact stitching with very little stretch. Keep your tension consistent, especially on the head, dress skirt, hat brim, and all floral elements.

Do not change colors too often. Longer color sections help the skirt, hat, backpack, and companion clothing look naturally mottled and elegant.

Main Bunny

Head

1. With cream, make MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. 1 sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
7. 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
8. 6 sc, inc around. 48 sts.
9. 7 sc, inc around. 54 sts.
10. 8 sc, inc around. 60 sts.
11. Rounds 11 to 20: sc around. 60 sts.

Place the eyes between rounds 13 and 14 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The face in the image sits low and wide, giving a gentle, childlike expression.

Lightly stuff the head as you work. Keep the lower face soft enough to shape the muzzle, but not floppy.

1. Round 21: 8 sc, dec around. 54 sts.
2. Round 22: sc around.
3. Round 23: 7 sc, dec around. 48 sts.
4. Round 24: 6 sc, dec around. 42 sts.
5. Round 25: 5 sc, dec around. 36 sts.

Firmly stuff the upper head. Keep the lower front slightly softer than the crown so the cheeks remain rounded.

Muzzle Shaping and Nose

Cut a strand of beige or light brown yarn. Insert the needle at the bottom of the head and bring it out centered between the eyes, about one round below them.

Make a tiny horizontal triangle nose. The nose in the image is subtle, narrow, and slightly downward-pointing. Add one short vertical stitch below the nose for the mouth line. Do not overwork this area.

If you want slightly fuller cheeks, use soft sculpting with matching thread. Make one small inward pull at each side of the muzzle, keeping the effect delicate.

Body

The body is compact and slightly pear-shaped beneath the dress. It should be narrow at the neck, fuller at the lower torso, and flat enough at the base to help the doll stand when supported by the skirt and feet.

1. With cream, MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. 1 sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
7. Rounds 7 to 10: sc around. 36 sts.
8. Round 11: 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
9. Rounds 12 to 16: sc around. 42 sts.
10. Round 17: 5 sc, dec around. 36 sts.
11. Round 18: sc around.
12. Round 19: 4 sc, dec around. 30 sts.
13. Round 20: sc around.
14. Round 21: 3 sc, dec around. 24 sts.

Stuff firmly at the lower body and more lightly near the neckline. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

Neck Join

Sew the head to the body carefully so the bunny holds a straight, calm posture. The image shows almost no visible neck separation, so keep this join neat and close.

Before fully closing the seam, insert a little extra stuffing into the upper body if needed. The head should not wobble.

Arms

Make 2.

1. With cream, MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. Round 3: sc around.
4. Round 4: 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec. 10 sts.
5. Rounds 5 to 15: sc around.
6. Round 16: flatten and crochet 4 sc through both sides, or sew closed.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Stuff only the lower half lightly. The upper arm should remain soft so it hangs naturally at the sides.

Sew the arms just below the neck, angled slightly downward. In the image, the paws rest near the skirt line and do not stick straight out.

Legs

Make 2.

1. With cream, ch 7.
2. Round 1: starting in second ch from hook, 5 sc, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side 4 sc, inc in last. 14 sts.
3. Round 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20 sts.
4. Round 3: sc around in BLO.
5. Rounds 4 to 5: sc around.
6. Round 6: 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc. 16 sts.
7. Round 7: 5 sc, 3 dec, 5 sc. 13 sts.
8. Rounds 8 to 16: sc around.

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg lightly. Flatten the top and sew to the underside of the body. The legs should hang straight so the shoes sit evenly beneath the skirt.

Ears

Make 2.

1. With cream, MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. 1 sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. Rounds 6 to 10: sc around.
7. Round 11: 3 sc, dec around. 24 sts.
8. Rounds 12 to 18: sc around.
9. Round 19: 2 sc, dec around. 18 sts.
10. Rounds 20 to 26: sc around.
11. Round 27: 1 sc, dec around. 12 sts.
12. Rounds 28 to 30: sc around.

Do not stuff the ears. Flatten gently and sew to the head beneath the hat line. The ears should fall straight down and frame the face, ending around shoulder level.

Dress

Bodice

The dress is sleeveless with narrow straps and a slightly raised waist. The top edge is simple and clean, without ruffles.

1. With dusty pink, ch 30 and join in a ring, taking care not to twist.
2. Rounds 1 to 4: sc around. 30 sts.
3. Round 5: 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
4. Round 6: sc around.
5. Round 7: work 18 sc, ch 8, skip 6 sts, 12 sc, ch 8, skip 6 sts, join. This forms arm openings and front bib shaping.
6. Round 8: sc around including chains. Keep stitches even.
7. Round 9: sc around.

Try the bodice on the bunny. It should fit closely but not stretch wide.

Skirt

1. Round 10: work in FLO, 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
2. Round 11: sc around.
3. Round 12: 6 sc, inc around. 48 sts.
4. Round 13: sc around.
5. Round 14: 7 sc, inc around. 54 sts.
6. Round 15: sc around.
7. Round 16: 8 sc, inc around. 60 sts.
8. Rounds 17 to 24: hdc around for a fuller skirt texture.

To recreate the image, shift color softly through dusty pink, rose, mauve, and muted berry tones over the skirt rounds. Keep the transitions gradual and romantic.

The skirt should bell outward and sit over the body like a little garden dress. Steam lightly if needed, but do not flatten the fullness.

Dress Straps

Join yarn at the top front edge. Ch enough to reach over the shoulder to the back, usually 12 to 14 chains. Work back with sc. Fasten off and sew to the back edge. Repeat for the second strap.

The straps in the image are narrow and soft, not bulky. Keep them slim and neat.

Waist and Hem Vine Trim

With sage green, surface slip stitch a fine line around the waist area.

For the hem vine, join sage green and work around the lower edge:

1. Ch 5, sl st in second ch from hook, sc in next, hdc in next, dc in next, skip 1 st on hem, sl st in next stitch.
2. Rep all around to create linked leaf-like points.

This edging should look like a soft green garland rather than a sharp lace border.

Foxglove Cascade on Dress

This feature is the key decorative element. It begins near one strap and falls diagonally across the front skirt. Work one central vine first, then add blossoms and leaves.

Vine

With sage green, ch 26. Work sl st back along the chain. Leave long tails for sewing.

Leaves

Make 8 to 10 small leaves in two sizes.

Small leaf:

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

Large leaf:

1. Ch 7.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sl st.
3. Work opposite side: hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.

Foxglove Blossoms

Make 10 to 14 blossoms in mixed pink shades.

1. Ch 12.
2. Join to first ch with sl st to form ring.
3. Round 1: 12 sc into ring.
4. Round 2: 1 sc, 2 hdc in next, 2 dc in next, 2 hdc in next, 1 sc, sl st in next, rep once more if you want a fuller bloom.

Alternatively, for a narrower bell shape closer to the image:

1. Ch 10, join.
2. Work 10 sc into ring.
3. In the next round alternate sc, hdc, dc, hdc around, then pinch the base slightly and stitch closed.

The flowers should look like tiny bells or cups. Shape them with your fingers so they open outward at the edge and narrow toward the base.

Sew the vine diagonally from the right shoulder area down across the front. Add leaves first, then attach blossoms overlapping slightly. Use larger flowers near the middle and lower section, with smaller buds near the top.

Shoes

Make 2 in matching pink tones.

1. With dusty pink, ch 7.
2. Round 1: starting in second ch, 5 sc, 3 sc in last, 4 sc opposite side, inc in last. 14 sts.
3. Round 2: inc, 4 sc, 3 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc. 20 sts.
4. Round 3: sc around in BLO.
5. Rounds 4 to 5: sc around.
6. Round 6: 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc. 16 sts.
7. Round 7: sc around.

Fasten off. Slip the shoes onto the feet and tack them in place.

Add a tiny strap by chaining 8 to 10 stitches, then sewing it across the top opening of each shoe. Add a small tan or gold stitch at the side to suggest a button or buckle.

Cloche Hat

The hat is rounded, low, and softly fitted, with a turned brim. It sits low enough to cover the ear join and frames the face beautifully.

1. With dusty pink, MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. 1 sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.
5. 3 sc, inc around. 30 sts.
6. 4 sc, inc around. 36 sts.
7. 5 sc, inc around. 42 sts.
8. 6 sc, inc around. 48 sts.
9. 7 sc, inc around. 54 sts.
10. 8 sc, inc around. 60 sts.
11. Rounds 11 to 16: sc around.
12. Round 17: work in BLO, sc around.
13. Round 18: 9 sc, inc around. 66 sts.
14. Rounds 19 to 21: sc around.

For the softly rolled brim, work one final round of loose slip stitches or reverse single crochet. Steam lightly and shape the brim downward.

Hat Band Detail

With sage green, surface slip stitch a thin line above the brim. Keep it delicate, just like the subtle green accent in the image.

Hat Flower Cluster

Make a small arrangement using 3 leaves, 2 buds, and 3 rose-like flowers.

Mini Rosettes

1. Ch 16.
2. Starting in second ch: 2 sc in next 2 ch, 2 hdc in next 4 ch, 2 dc in next 6 ch, 2 hdc in next 2 ch, 2 sc in last.
3. Roll the strip from one end and stitch the base.

Buds

1. MR, 4 sc.
2. Round 2: sc around.
3. Round 3: 2 sc, inc, 2 sc. Fasten off and pinch slightly.

Use pink and mauve shades for the flowers and sage green for the leaves. Sew the cluster to one side of the hat, slightly above the brim and angled upward.

Backpack

This tiny backpack has a rectangular structure with a front flap and slim shoulder straps. It should look sturdy and sweet rather than oversized.

Main Panels

Front and back, make 2.

1. With mottled pink tones, ch 13.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. 12 sts.
3. Rows 2 to 14: ch 1, turn, sc across.

Sides and Base Strip

1. Ch 6.
2. Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and across. 5 sts.

Flap

1. Ch 13.
2. Row 1: sc across. 12 sts.
3. Rows 2 to 6: sc across.
4. Row 7: dec, 8 sc, dec.

Sew the flap to the back top edge.

Pocket and Closure

Make a tiny front pocket with a small rectangle of 8 by 4 sc rows. Sew to the lower front.

Add a narrow strap down the center of the flap and a tiny loop or knot for the closure. Use sage green or cream as a contrast accent.

Backpack Straps

Ch 24 twice. Work slip stitch back along each chain for strength. Sew to the back panel with a short top spacing and wider lower spacing.

Watering Can

This piece is small but important to the porch garden story. Keep it rounded and slightly squat.

7. Round 9: sc around.

Stuff lightly or insert a tiny filler scrap for shape. Flatten the opening slightly.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Top Rim

Join yarn to the opening and work one round of slip stitches. This helps the watering can keep a finished lip.

Spout

1. Ch 8.
2. Work 7 sc back.
3. Next row: dec, 3 sc, dec.
4. Roll into a tube and sew.

Attach at an upward angle from the front side. Add a tiny gray or cream circle at the tip for the sprinkler head.

Handle

Ch 12. Work slip stitch back and sew from upper back to upper side of the can. The handle should arch softly.

Foxglove Stem Accessory

This separate floral stem lies in front of the bunny in the image. It has a long green stem, leaves, berry-like buds, and blooming foxglove bells.

Stem

With green, ch 36. Work slip stitch back along the chain around a thin wire if using one. Leave tails for wrapping and finishing.

Leaves

Make 4 large leaves and 3 medium leaves using the same leaf patterns from the dress cascade. Sew them along the lower half of the stem, with the biggest leaf at the very end.

Buds

Make 5 to 7 tiny buds in pale pink and mauve. Use the bud pattern from the hat. Sew them in a clustered group near the upper stem.

Open Blossoms

Make 6 to 8 foxglove blossoms in multiple pink shades. Arrange the blooms gradually larger toward the middle, then slightly smaller toward the tip.

Position each bell so it points outward and a little downward, which helps the stem resemble foxglove more closely.

Small Companion Doll

The image shows a petite animal companion wearing a small dress and hat. The ears are short and triangular, so this version is made as a tiny porch cub rather than a second bunny. Its color story matches the main set.

Head

1. With cream, MR, 6 sc.
2. Inc around. 12 sts.
3. 1 sc, inc around. 18 sts.
4. 2 sc, inc around. 24 sts.

Stuff and sew to the head.

Arms and Legs

Make 2 arms and 2 legs with simple tubes:

1. MR, 6 sc.
2. Rounds 2 to 7: sc around.

Stuff lightly and sew in place. The legs should help the doll balance under the skirt.

Ears

Make 2 small triangles.

1. MR, 4 sc.
2. Row 2: ch 1, turn, inc, 2 sc, inc. 6 sts.
3. Row 3: ch 1, turn, dec, 2 sc, dec. 4 sts.

Sew to the head top so they angle gently outward.

Companion Dress

Use the same method as the main dress, but on a smaller scale. Work a close bodice and a fuller skirt in striped or softly blended pink tones. Add one green line near the waist and a tiny green trim at the hem.

Companion Hat

Make a shallow hat with a short brim using the same method as the main hat. Add one tiny flower and leaf at the side.

Assembly Order

1. Make and finish the head embroidery.
2. Sew head to body.
3. Attach legs evenly.
4. Attach arms with a slight downward angle.
5. Sew ears under the future hat line.
6. Dress the bunny and tack the dress in place at the shoulders if desired.
7. Attach the shoes.
8. Sew and decorate the hat, then place it low on the head.
9. Make the backpack, watering can, floral stem, and companion doll.
10. Add all final shaping touches.

Styling Tips for the Image Look

• Keep the face very simple and calm.
• Use compact stitches and modest stuffing.
• Make the dress skirt broader than the torso so the silhouette looks graceful.
• Let the ears fall straight and close to the cheeks.
• Place the hat low and slightly forward.
• Use several pink shades, but keep them muted rather than bright.
• Cluster flowers densely on the dress front and hat side.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the eye placement first. The sweetest expression comes from evenly spaced eyes set low on the head, with a tiny stitched nose centered between them. Keep the mouth line very short.

Position the ears before attaching the hat. The hat should overlap the ear tops slightly. After the dress is on, adjust the floral cascade so it begins near the strap and falls naturally across the skirt.

Care Notes

Display pieces stay nicest when handled gently and kept away from long direct sun exposure. If the set is intended for decor, avoid frequent bending of the floral stem and tiny blossoms.

Store the backpack, watering can, and separate flower stem together so the small pieces do not get misplaced.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head sits straight on body
• Eyes are even
• Nose is centered
• Ears hang at equal length
• Dress straps are balanced
• Hat brim is smooth
• Shoes match in height
• Foxglove details are secure
• Backpack flap closes neatly
• Watering can spout angles upward

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Press moisture out gently with a dry towel and let the pieces air dry fully on a clean surface.

Do not soak the floral accessories or wired stem. To preserve shape, stuff tissue inside the hat and dress skirt during storage, and keep the set in a dry place away from dust and humidity.
