This sweet spring amigurumi set features a gentle bunny dressed in warm daffodil yellow, complete with a flower-trimmed dress, matching cloche hat, tiny shoes, a market-style tote, a baby bottle, a flower bouquet, and a small duck companion. It has the look of a handmade bunny doll collectors often search for as a nursery gift or seasonal decor piece.
The design balances soft pastel styling with practical shaping, making it ideal for makers who love heirloom crochet plush projects, stuffed animal patterns, and giftable spring amigurumi. The finished set feels polished and shop-worthy, with details similar to artisan crochet dolls people often browse when looking to buy handmade Easter bunny decor.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Project Overview
This pattern recreates the full scene shown in the image: one standing bunny doll with long floppy ears, one yellow dress with layered skirt detail, one flowered hat, one pair of shoes, one tote bag, one baby bottle, one daffodil bouquet, and one small duck wearing its own tiny hat.
The bunny is shaped in a classic amigurumi style with a large rounded head, compact neck, slim arms, narrow legs, and a softly flared lower body hidden under the dress. The overall look is neat, symmetrical, and smooth, with tight stitches and light stuffing for a refined finish.
The clothing and accessories are made to match the image closely. The hat sits low around the upper head, the dress has a simple bodice and two-tier visual effect, and the daffodil motifs appear on the hat, bodice, waist area, lower skirt, bouquet, and duck hat.

General Notes
Use a hook size that gives firm, compact stitches. The image shows a very smooth finish with almost no stuffing visible between stitches, so do not work loosely. Cotton yarn helps keep the structure crisp, especially for the dress hem, hat brim, bag, and flower petals.
Mark the beginning of each round. Unless stated otherwise, work in continuous spirals for the body pieces. Stuff gradually and evenly. The bunny has a soft, rounded face rather than a firm overstuffed one, so keep the cheeks smooth and the muzzle area gently filled.
The doll in the image has slightly elongated proportions. The head is large, the body is narrow, the arms are simple tubes, and the legs are slim. Keep all shaping delicate. Avoid oversized limbs or a very wide torso, since that would change the elegant silhouette.

Insert the bunny safety eyes between rnds 13 and 14, spaced about 11 to 13 stitches apart. The eyes in the image sit fairly wide, creating a calm and childlike expression. They are placed low enough to allow room for the hat brim above and the nose below.
- Rnd 21: 8 sc, dec around. (54)
- Rnd 22: 7 sc, dec around. (48)
- Rnd 23: 6 sc, dec around. (42)
- Rnd 24: 5 sc, dec around. (36)
- Rnd 25: 4 sc, dec around. (30)
Begin stuffing firmly at the crown and more softly toward the lower face. Shape the cheeks with your fingers while filling. The head should remain round, with a slightly flatter lower front where the muzzle embroidery will sit. Do not close the head yet if joining directly to the neck.
Bunny Body
The body is narrow and mostly hidden by the dress, so the shaping should support the outfit without adding bulk. Work from the bottom upward. The body should fit neatly under the dress and allow the legs to stand close together.
- Rnd 1: In ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- Rnd 5-7: Sc around. (24)
- Rnd 8: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
- Rnd 9-12: Sc around. (18)
- Rnd 13: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
- Rnd 14-16: Sc around. (12)
Stuff the body lightly to medium. It should support the head but still look slim and soft. Sew or crochet-join the head to the body, aligning the face squarely forward. Add a small extra pinch of stuffing at the neck before finishing so the head does not tilt downward.
Bunny Legs Make 2
The bunny stands in straight, narrow legs. They are longer than the arms and lightly stuffed. Work the legs from the foot upward, with a subtle base that fits into the shoes. Keep the lower foot area slightly flatter than the upper leg.
- Rnd 1: In ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3-4: Sc around. (12)
- Rnd 5: 4 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc. (10)
- Rnd 6-16: Sc around. (10)
Stuff the foot and lower leg more firmly than the upper section. Flatten the top and close with 5 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing depending on your preferred assembly method. Sew the legs at the lower body so they sit close together and point straight down.
Bunny Arms Make 2
The arms in the image are simple tubes with gentle tapering and no visible paw shaping. They angle slightly outward from the shoulders and hang to about waist level. Keep them soft and slim so the dress and side view remain graceful.
- Rnd 1: In ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
- Rnd 3-12: Sc around. (9)
- Rnd 13: 1 sc, dec around. (6)
- Rnd 14-15: Sc around. (6)
Stuff only the lower half lightly. Flatten the top and sew each arm between the head and upper body line. In the image, the arms attach slightly below the neck and slant down naturally, not straight out to the sides.
Bunny Ears Make 2
The ears are long, soft, and floppy. They are not wired and do not stand up. Each ear is narrow at the top, fuller through the center, and softly rounded at the tip. The finished ear should fall to about the bunny’s waist or slightly above.
- Rnd 1: In ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- Rnd 4-6: Sc around. (18)
- Rnd 7: 4 sc, dec, 8 sc, dec, 2 sc. (16)
- Rnd 8-10: Sc around. (16)
- Rnd 11: 3 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec, 3 sc. (14)
- Rnd 12-18: Sc around. (14)
- Rnd 19: 5 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec. (12)
- Rnd 20-24: Sc around. (12)
Do not stuff. Flatten each ear and sew to the upper sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line so the hat can sit properly. After sewing, bend the ears downward. They should frame the face gently and extend below the hat brim.

Muzzle and Facial Embroidery
With pale pink yarn, embroider a tiny triangular nose centered between the eyes, about two rounds below the eye line. Add a short vertical stitch downward and a very soft, minimal mouth. The image shows a simple expression, so avoid a wide smile or oversized muzzle.
If desired, indent the eye area slightly with matching ivory thread run from the back of the head. This helps create the soft, sweet face shape seen in the image. Keep all sculpting subtle. The bunny’s look is smooth and clean rather than heavily contoured.
Bunny Dress Bodice
The dress is made separately and slipped onto the bunny from below before final attachment of the head, or worked with a back opening if you prefer. The image shows a sleeveless bodice with clean arm openings and a close fit through the chest.
- Ch 24 and join carefully, or begin with a foundation round that fits the chest.
- Rnd 1-4: Sc evenly around. Keep the tube snug but not tight.
- Rnd 5: Shape arm openings by skipping 3 stitches at each side and bridging with 3 chains.
- Rnd 6-8: Sc around, working into chain spaces. Adjust count so the bodice sits smooth against the body.
Try the bodice on the bunny as you go. The waist should sit just above the widest part of the skirt. The upper edge remains plain in the image, without straps, ruffles, or collar trim. Keep the silhouette simple so the daffodil accents stand out clearly.
Peplum Layer
The dress has a soft upper flounce sitting over the fuller lower skirt. This creates the layered look visible at the waist. Work the peplum from a waist round near the bottom of the bodice.
- Join yellow yarn to the waist area of the bodice.
- Rnd 1: Work 2 sc in each stitch around, or alternate 1 sc and 2 sc to create a soft flare.
- Rnd 2: Sc around.
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, 1 hdc repeat around for a slightly rounded edge.
The peplum should extend outward gently and sit above the main skirt like a small overskirt. It must not be too long. In the image, it ends around the upper hip area and gives the waistline a fuller, dressy shape.
Main Skirt
The lower skirt is fuller and longer than the peplum. It falls to just above the ankles and has a decorative scalloped hem formed by the flower band sitting along the edge. Work from the lower waist downward.
- Join yellow yarn at the lower edge of the bodice.
- Rnd 1: Inc evenly around to create the first flare.
- Rnd 2-4: Sc around.
- Rnd 5: Inc every 5 to 6 stitches around.
- Rnd 6-9: Sc around.
- Rnd 10: Inc every 6 to 7 stitches around.
- Rnd 11-14: Sc or hdc around until skirt reaches ankle length.
Keep the skirt structured but not stiff. The image suggests a smooth bell shape rather than sharp ruffles. If you want extra body, use hdc for the final rounds. The hem should spread enough to show the daffodil garland clearly around the bottom edge.
Daffodil Appliqués for Dress and Hat
You will need several flowers in two sizes. Make small flowers for the bodice and hat, and medium flowers for the skirt hem and bouquet. Each flower has cream petals and a raised orange trumpet center.
Petals Small
- In cream, 5 sc in MR.
- Join with sl st.
- In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st.
This gives 5 rounded petals. Flatten neatly and weave in ends on the back. The petals in the image are soft and rounded, not pointed. Adjust petal height slightly if you want them a little fuller.
Petals Medium
- In cream, 6 sc in MR.
- Join with sl st.
- In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st.
Trumpet Center
- In orange, 6 sc in MR.
- Rnd 2: Sc around.
- Rnd 3: In FLO, 1 sc, 1 hdc around or slight increases as needed.
Fasten off with a long tail. Lightly cup the center piece so it sits proud of the petals. Sew the trumpet to the flower center. The daffodils in the image have a noticeable raised cup, so avoid using flat embroidery for the middle.
Leaves
- In sage green, ch 6.
- Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st.
- Work along opposite side of chain: sc, hdc, sc, sl st.
Make leaves in varied quantities for the dress hem, hat cluster, bouquet, and bodice accents. Keep them small, narrow, and slightly pointed. The image shows paired leaves tucked close to the flowers rather than large foliage extending outward.

Arrange Dress Flowers
Sew one small daffodil with two leaves at the upper right bodice. Sew one small daffodil with two leaves at the center front waist on top of the peplum. Then sew a series of medium daffodils around the lower hem, spacing them evenly.
For the hem, place each flower with one or two leaves between blooms. The image shows a repeating garland effect across the visible front half. You do not need to cover the entire back if the doll will mainly be displayed facing forward, but a full ring looks most polished.
Bunny Shoes Make 2
The shoes are simple slip-on flats in yellow with an ivory or pale trim effect created by the feet above them. They should cover the lower foot and sit close to the ankle. Work each shoe separately and sew or slip onto the feet.
- Rnd 1: In yellow, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: Sc around in BLO. (12)
- Rnd 4: 4 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc. (10)
- Rnd 5: Sc around. (10)
Fasten off with a tail if sewing directly to the feet, or keep a flexible opening if sliding them on. The top edge should sit just below the ankle. In the image, the shoes are neat and rounded, with no straps or bow detail.
Cloche Hat
The hat is a key feature of this design. It is shaped like a soft cloche or bucket hat with a rounded crown and gently sloping brim. It sits low on the head and frames the bunny’s face while leaving the eyes fully visible.
- Rnd 1: In yellow, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- Rnd 5: 3 sc, inc around. (30)
- Rnd 6: 4 sc, inc around. (36)
- Rnd 7: 5 sc, inc around. (42)
- Rnd 8: 6 sc, inc around. (48)
- Rnd 9: 7 sc, inc around. (54)
- Rnd 10-15: Sc around. (54)
Check fit on the head. The crown should be smooth and slightly domed. If needed, add or remove one plain round depending on yarn thickness. The hat in the image covers the top of the head well and drops almost to the eye line at the front.
- Rnd 16: In BLO, sc around. (54)
- Rnd 17: 8 sc, inc around. (60)
- Rnd 18: Sc around. (60)
- Rnd 19: 9 sc, inc around. (66)
- Rnd 20: Sc around. (66)
- Rnd 21: Crab stitch, sl st, or a firm sc edge around.
If you want a slightly firmer brim, lightly steam block or insert a hidden support circle between crown and brim. Keep the brim downward-curved, not flat. The front decoration will sit on the left side of the hat as viewed from the front.
Hat Flower Cluster
Sew one medium daffodil and one flower bud to the left front side of the hat. Add three to four sage leaves around the cluster. The bud can be made by crocheting 4 sc in MR, then one plain round, and wrapping with tiny green sepals.
The cluster should angle diagonally across the hat front. In the image, the flower sits low and visible, while the leaves spread upward and outward. Keep the arrangement compact so it looks elegant and does not overpower the bunny’s face.
Tote Bag
The bag is a small rectangular market-style tote in the same yellow as the dress and hat. It stands upright with short handles and a flat base. The bag is simple and lightly structured, with no lining needed.
- Ch 11.
- Rnd 1: Starting in second ch from hook, 9 sc, 3 sc in last ch, work along opposite side 8 sc, 2 sc in first ch. (22)
- Rnd 2-6: Sc around. (22)
- Rnd 7: Sc 5, ch 5, skip 4, sc 7, ch 5, skip 4, sc 2.
- Rnd 8: Sc around, working over handle chains.
- Rnd 9: Sl st or sc edging around handles and top.
Flatten lightly and shape the base with your fingers. The bag in the image has straight sides and rounded upper corners. If desired, embroider a tiny daffodil motif on one side, but keep it subtle since the image detail is very small and understated.
Baby Bottle
The bottle is white with a yellow band and pale pink nipple. It is a charming prop that helps tell the story of the set. Keep it small and smooth, with gentle tapering near the top.
- Rnd 1: In white, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3-7: Sc around. (12)
- Rnd 8: In yellow, sc around. (12)
- Rnd 9: In pale pink, BLO sc around. (12)
- Rnd 10: Dec around. (6)
- Rnd 11-12: Sc around. (6)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Stuff lightly so the bottle keeps its shape. The nipple should be short and rounded, not long. The band between bottle and top should read clearly as a ring of yellow matching the rest of the accessories.
Daffodil Bouquet
The bouquet in the image is tied with a neutral wrap and contains multiple daffodil heads. Make 3 to 5 medium flowers, then create narrow stems using green yarn or floral wire wrapped in yarn if you want a firmer result.
- Make 3 to 5 medium daffodil flowers.
- Make 4 to 6 leaves in sage green.
- For stems, chain 10 to 12 in green and sl st back, or wrap yarn around thin floral wire.
- Sew flowers to stems and gather together.
- Wrap the lower stems with beige or cream yarn and tie securely.
Let the flower heads face slightly different directions so the bouquet looks natural. In the image, the bouquet is laid on the table with stems gathered tightly and flower cups facing upward and outward.
Duck Body
The duck is small, rounded, and chubby, with a cream upper body and mustard yellow lower body. It stands upright on tiny orange feet and has short wings placed at the sides. The face is simple and cute, with a rounded beak and small black eyes.
- Rnd 1: In mustard yellow, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- Rnd 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- Rnd 5-6: Sc around. (24)
- Rnd 7: Change to pale cream, sc around. (24)
- Rnd 8-10: Sc around. (24)
- Rnd 11: 2 sc, dec around. (18)
- Rnd 12: 1 sc, dec around. (12)
Insert the eyes between rnds 8 and 9 with about 5 stitches between them. Add the beak centered one round below the eyes. Stuff firmly but keep the shape round. Close the top after adding a little extra stuffing at the forehead area.
Duck Beak
- In orange, 6 sc in MR.
- Rnd 2: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
- Fasten off, flatten slightly, and sew centered to the face.
The beak should project forward just a little. In the image it is soft, rounded, and cheerful, not wide or flat. Position it low enough that the eyes remain the focal point of the duck’s face.
Duck Wings Make 2
- In pale cream, 6 sc in MR.
- Rnd 2: 1 sc, inc around. (9)
- Rnd 3: Sc around. (9)
- Flatten and sew to the sides.
Angle each wing slightly downward. They should look like tiny side flippers rather than long bird wings. The image shows small rounded wings that barely extend outward from the body.
Duck Feet Make 2
- In orange, 5 sc in MR.
- Rnd 2: Inc around or leave small depending on desired size. (8 to 10)
- Flatten slightly and sew to the lower body front.
The duck feet are tiny and mostly hidden beneath the body. Keep them rounded and simple. If you prefer a stable base, sew them slightly forward so the duck leans back just enough to stand upright.
Duck Hat
The duck wears a miniature version of the bunny’s yellow hat, decorated with one tiny daffodil. Make a very small cloche using the same shaping principle as the main hat.
- Rnd 1: In yellow, 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18)
- Rnd 4-5: Sc around. (18)
- Rnd 6: In BLO, sc around. (18)
- Rnd 7: 2 sc, inc around. (24)
- Rnd 8: Sc around. (24)
Add one tiny flower to the side front. Stitch the hat lightly onto the duck head so it sits at a jaunty angle, similar to the image. The brim should be short and curved downward.

Shaping Tips for an Accurate Look
Head: Keep the head round but not oversized. The lower face should be softly filled so the eyes and nose look delicate. A very firm head will make the bunny look more toy-like than the gentle style shown.
Ears: Use no stuffing in the ears. Their weight should allow them to drape naturally. If the ears stand away from the face too much, tack them lightly to the hat line or upper head with one hidden stitch.
Dress: The bodice should fit closely. The skirt should flare enough to form a bell shape but not so much that it becomes ruffled. The peplum is important because it creates the layered dress silhouette visible in the image.
Hat: Keep the brim soft and downward-facing. A flat brim changes the whole mood of the piece. The hat decoration should be clustered and balanced, with the main flower slightly lower than the leaves.
Duck: The duck should be round and sturdy, with a shorter, wider form than the bunny. Keep its features simple. The tiny hat and warm yellow lower body connect it visually to the main doll.
Color Placement Guide
- Ivory: Bunny head, body, arms, legs, ears
- Mustard yellow: Bunny dress, bunny hat, bunny shoes, tote bag, bottle band, duck lower body, duck hat
- Pale cream: Daffodil petals, duck upper body
- Golden orange: Flower trumpets, duck beak, duck feet
- Sage green: Leaves, bouquet stems
- White: Bottle body
- Pale pink: Bunny nose, bottle nipple
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Place the dress so the bodice sits smooth and centered. Add the peplum and lower skirt flowers only after checking the front view. Stitch the hat lightly in place if needed, especially if the doll will be handled often.
For the face, keep the pink nose tiny and neat. Add only a short mouth line. The expression should stay calm and sweet. Small details make the doll look refined, so avoid thick embroidery or strong blush.
Care Notes
Display indoors and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to protect the warm yellow tones. If gifting to a child, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes and secure every accessory firmly.
Because the set includes very small decorative pieces, it is best treated as a decorative handmade item rather than a rough-play toy.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Eyes aligned evenly on bunny and duck
- Nose centered and small
- Ears attached evenly and hanging naturally
- Dress sitting straight with balanced flare
- Flowers placed in the same areas as the image
- Hat brim curved downward
- Shoes level so the bunny stands neatly
- Duck hat attached securely
- Bag, bottle, and bouquet finished cleanly
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking unless absolutely necessary, especially if the hat brim has support inside. Press with a towel and let dry fully in shape on a flat surface.
Store in a dry place away from humidity, dust, and heavy pressure. For long-term keeping, wrap the doll loosely in clean tissue and place it in a breathable box so the ears, flowers, and hat brim keep their shape.
