Foxglove Porch Bunny – Crochet

This elegant amigurumi bunny set brings together a softly dressed rabbit doll, a tiny cat companion, a flowered sun hat, and charming garden accessories. It has the look of a handmade crochet bunny doll you might search for as nursery decor, a collectible stuffed rabbit, or a giftable artisan amigurumi piece.

The full set is designed to feel refined yet warm, with calm neutral tones, delicate foxglove blossoms, and a porch-day mood. If you love heirloom-style crochet animals, spring display dolls, or boutique handmade toys with matching accessories, this design creates that same premium look in yarn.

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

Gauge and Fabric Notes

The stitches in the photo are compact, even, and slightly structured. The fabric is not floppy. Use a hook smaller than the yarn label suggests if needed. The hat, dress, and accessories all hold crisp shape, so your work should feel dense and smooth rather than stretchy.

The doll proportions matter more than exact stitch count. The head is large and round, the body is shorter and softly tapered, the arms are simple cylinders, and the ears are long and flat with rounded ends. The outfit is elegant, not bulky, so avoid overstuffing.

General Construction Order

1. Make the main bunny head and body.

7. Crochet the loose foxglove stem placed on the table.
8. Assemble carefully and finish the face.

Main Bunny Head

The bunny in the image has a generously rounded head with a very soft cheek line. The face is almost circular from the front, slightly fuller through the lower half, and not sharply defined at the jaw. Keep the shaping smooth.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. Rnd 10: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
11. Rnd 11 to 20: sc around. (60)

Place the 10 mm eyes between Rnds 13 and 14 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes in the photo are set fairly low on the face, leaving room for the hat and forehead above. Do not place them too wide or the expression will change.

Begin stuffing the head firmly, especially around the crown and cheeks. Avoid lumps. Add more stuffing as you close.

1. Rnd 21: (8 sc, dec) x 6. (54)
2. Rnd 22: (7 sc, dec) x 6. (48)
3. Rnd 23: (6 sc, dec) x 6. (42)
4. Rnd 24: (5 sc, dec) x 6. (36)

Stop here if you want a wider neck opening for joining. Leave a long tail. The neck should still be broad enough to support the head, because the doll in the image does not have a wobbly neck.

Muzzle and Nose Shaping

The face has a very subtle protruding muzzle, not a separate large snout. It is softly built into the face with a tiny pink nose and a short stitched mouth line.

Small Muzzle Patch

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR with cream yarn. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: sc around. (12)

Fasten off with a long tail. Lightly stuff only if needed. Sew centered between the eyes, with the top edge sitting about 2 rounds below the eye line. Keep it flat. The lower face should remain gentle and neat.

Embroider a tiny horizontal triangular nose in pale pink. Add a short vertical stitch downward and split it into a very small “Y” mouth. Pull slightly to create a shallow indentation.

Main Bunny Body

The body is narrower than the head and hidden under the dress, but it still needs balance. It should be compact, gently pear-shaped, and able to stand with support from the shoes and hem.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6 to 10: sc around. (30)
7. Rnd 11: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
8. Rnd 12 to 16: sc around. (24)
9. Rnd 17: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)

Stuff firmly at the base and medium-firm in the upper body. Leave a long tail for sewing to the head. Before closing, add a small piece of weighted filling or pellets in a pouch if you want extra standing stability.

Legs

The bunny legs are slim and straight with simple little feet hidden inside Mary Jane shoes. Make two in cream.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3 to 5: sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 6: 2 sc, 4 dec, 2 sc. (8)
5. Rnd 7 to 14: sc around. (8)

Stuff the foot and lower leg lightly so they stay neat and narrow. Flatten the top opening and close with 4 sc through both sides, or leave open for sewing depending on your preferred assembly method.

Arms

The arms are gently tapered tubes with rounded paws. They hang low at the sides and reach roughly to the waistline of the dress. Make two in cream.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3 to 4: sc around. (12)
4. Rnd 5: (4 sc, dec) x 2. (10)
5. Rnd 6 to 14: sc around. (10)

Stuff only the lower half. Flatten and close the opening. Sew arms just under the neck seam. Angle them slightly downward and forward, matching the soft resting pose in the image.

Ears

The ears are long, wide at the top, softly tapering, and hang straight down from under the hat. They are not overly stuffed. Make two in the main bunny color.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4 to 6: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 7: (4 sc, dec) x 3. (15)
6. Rnd 8 to 18: sc around. (15)
7. Rnd 19: (3 sc, dec) x 3. (12)
8. Rnd 20 to 24: sc around. (12)
9. Rnd 25: flatten and sc across through both layers to close.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Do not stuff. Lightly steam or finger-shape so each ear lies flat. Sew to the sides of the head around the upper side area, but slightly toward the back so the face remains open. The hat will overlap the ear tops.

Tail

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

Lightly stuff and sew to the lower back. It will mostly hide under the dress, but adding it gives the correct rounded silhouette.

Mary Jane Shoes

The shoes are in the same beige tone as the dress and hat. They have rounded toes and a small strap effect, with tiny bow details placed on the outer side near the ankle.

Make two. Work directly around the foot section of each leg, or crochet separately and slip onto finished legs.

1. Start with 8 ch.
2. Rnd 1: beginning in second ch from hook, 6 sc, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side 5 sc, 2 sc in last st. (16)
3. Rnd 2: inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc. (22)
4. Rnd 3: BLO sc around. (22)
5. Rnd 4: 6 sc, 5 dec, 6 sc. (17)
6. Rnd 5: 5 sc, 3 dec, 6 sc. (14)

For the strap, attach yarn at one side opening. Ch 5, skip across the opening, and sl st to opposite side. Work back with 4 sc on the chain if you want a thicker strap.

Make a tiny bow by wrapping yarn 4 to 5 times around two fingers, tie center, trim ends short, and sew one on the outer side of each shoe. The bows in the image are delicate and understated.

Main Dress

The dress has a fitted upper bodice, narrow straps, and a full skirt worked in neat horizontal rounds. The front waist area looks slightly textured and structured. The skirt is modestly flared, not extremely wide.

You can make the dress removable, but for the most accurate look it is best sewn in place after fitting. Work in the same beige yarn as the hat and shoes.

Bodice Panel

1. Ch 20.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, 19 sc.
3. Row 2 to 8: ch 1, turn, sc across. (19)

Wrap this around the upper torso to check fit. It should sit snugly under the arms. Sew the short ends together at the back, or lace neatly if you want removability.

Skirt

Join yarn to lower edge of bodice and work in rounds.

1. Rnd 1: sc evenly around lower edge, about 38 to 42 stitches total.
2. Rnd 2: (6 sc, inc) around.
3. Rnd 3: sc around.
4. Rnd 4: (7 sc, inc) around.
5. Rnd 5 to 10: sc around.
6. Rnd 11: (8 sc, inc) around.
7. Rnd 12 to 18: sc around.

End with one round of hdc for a slightly softer hem if desired, but keep it subtle. The skirt in the image hangs smoothly and keeps a bell shape. Light blocking helps maintain this line.

Straps

Attach yarn at front top edge. Make one strap with 10 to 12 chains, then sew to the back top edge. Repeat for the second strap. The straps are slim and plain. They should sit just inside the shoulders.

Cloche Hat

The hat is essential to the look. It is a softly sloped cloche with a short downward brim and a flower cluster on one side. It sits low enough to frame the face and overlap the ear tops.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. Rnd 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
8. Rnd 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
9. Rnd 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. Rnd 10 to 15: sc around. (54)
11. Rnd 16: BLO sc around. (54)
12. Rnd 17: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
13. Rnd 18 to 20: sc around. (60)
14. Rnd 21: sl st or very loose sc around for a smooth hat edge.

If the brim flips too much, reduce increases slightly. If it hugs too tightly, add one more increase round. The correct brim is short, gentle, and elegant, not floppy.

Foxglove Flower Motifs for Hat and Dress

The flowers are the signature feature of the set. They appear as layered bell blossoms in pink, rose, blush, peach, and cream, with sage leaves. Make several tiny blooms in varied sizes for a natural clustered effect.

Mini Bell Flower

1. With flower color, ch 4 and join to form a ring.
2. Round inside ring: ch 1, 6 sc, join.
3. Next round: in each stitch work (sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st).

This creates a flared five-petal or six-petal blossom. For a tighter bell, use hdc instead of dc. Gently pinch the base with sewing thread so the flower cups forward.

Closed Bud

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

Fasten off and sew to a tiny stem or directly onto the floral spray.

Leaf

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

Leave a long tail for sewing. Make leaves in two sizes by changing chain length to 5 or 9.

Flower Stem Strip

For a hanging spray, ch 14 to 22 depending on placement. Work sl st back along the chain for a sturdy cord. Sew blossoms and leaves along one side, staggering size and color. This matches the long vertical arrangement on the bunny dress.

Dress Floral Appliqué Placement

The main floral spray starts near the right side of the bodice and falls diagonally downward across the skirt. It includes a mix of open bells, small buds, and two larger leaves at the base.

• Use 7 to 10 blossoms total.
• Place darker flowers lower on the spray and lighter ones near the middle and upper area.
• Add small sage leaves between blossoms.
• Finish with two fuller leaves near the bottom tip.

Sew each piece securely but lightly, keeping the floral spray dimensional. Do not flatten it too much. The photo shows petals lifting softly from the dress surface.

Hat Flower Cluster

The hat carries a smaller floral grouping on one side. Use 3 to 5 tiny flowers, 2 buds, and 2 leaves. Arrange them tightly where crown meets brim. This cluster should mirror the dress flowers without overpowering the face.

Backpack

The small backpack has a boxy soft shape, a front flap, thin shoulder straps, and a tiny textured front pocket. Work in the same beige yarn as the main outfit.

Backpack Body

1. Ch 11.
2. Rnd 1: starting in second ch, 9 sc, 3 sc in last ch, 8 sc opposite side, 2 sc in last st. (22)
3. Rnd 2: inc, 8 sc, 3 inc, 8 sc, 2 inc. (28)
4. Rnd 3: BLO sc around. (28)
5. Rnd 4 to 10: sc around. (28)

Stuff lightly or insert a folded felt block. Flatten top and sew nearly closed.

Flap

1. Attach to back top center over 8 stitches.
2. Row 1 to 4: sc across 8.
3. Row 5: dec, 4 sc, dec. (6)
4. Row 6: sc across.

Round the lower corners with one light edging row if desired.

Pocket

1. Ch 6.
2. Rows 1 to 4: sc across 5.

Sew to front. Add two short vertical straps or embroidered ties down from the flap. Make one long chain for the top carry loop and two longer chains for the shoulder straps.

Watering Can

This miniature accessory is small but important. It has a rounded body, a top opening, a side handle, and a narrow spout angled outward.

Body

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. Rnd 4 to 5: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 6: BLO sc around. (18)
6. Rnd 7: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)

Lightly stuff the lower half only. Keep the top open.

Spout

1. Ch 8.
2. Starting in second ch, 7 sl st or very tight sc.

Sew one end to the body and angle the spout slightly upward.

Handle

1. Ch 10.
2. Sl st back across.

Sew from upper back to lower back side of can in a curved loop. The scale should match the photo, where the can sits small beside the backpack.

Small Cat Companion

The second doll is a tiny cat in a striped dress and matching hat. It is proportioned with a round head, short body, tiny ears, and narrow limbs. The face is sweet and simple, with a pale muzzle and pink nose.

Cat Head

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

1. Rnd 11: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
2. Rnd 12: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)

Cat Tail

1. Ch 10.
2. Starting in second ch, 9 sc.

Sew to back. Curve gently to one side.

2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)

Loose Foxglove Stem Accessory

The separate flower stem on the table is long and slender with clustered buds at one end and a pair of leaves near the middle. It should look graceful and slightly curved.

1. With green, ch 28.
2. Sl st back along the chain to create a firm stem.

Attach 5 to 7 small blossoms and buds near one end, graduating from smaller buds at the tip to larger open bells lower down. Add two leaves opposite each other below the floral section. Slightly curve the stem while sewing.

Assembly Placement Guide

• Sew legs to the bottom of body, spaced evenly so the doll balances.
• Sew body to head with the neck centered and strong.
• Sew arms slightly below neck, angled down.
• Sew ears high on the head sides, falling straight down.
• Dress goes on before final ear and hat adjustments if you want best fit.
• Place shoes so the toes point forward and both sit flat.
• Add the tail at the back, mostly hidden under the skirt.

Set the hat slightly low on the forehead. The brim should frame the eyes without covering them. Arrange the floral side cluster so it sits above one ear and angles gently forward.

Shaping Notes for an Accurate Look

The charm of this set comes from restraint. Do not exaggerate the muzzle, cheeks, or shoe size. Keep the expression calm and the dress tailored. The accessories should look miniature and refined, not chunky or playful.

The main bunny dress should feel like a small linen-style sundress translated into crochet. The cat should clearly read as a companion figure, not just a smaller bunny. The hat flowers and foxglove sprays are what tie the whole design together visually.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

After all pieces are attached, pinch the muzzle area lightly with a needle and matching thread to define the center face. Add a tiny nose in pale pink and a short straight line beneath it. Keep the mouth very subtle.

Check the hat angle, ear placement, and floral balance before securing the final stitches. The bunny should look calm, upright, and slightly old-fashioned in the sweetest way. The cat should sit close in color story but remain distinct through its striped dress and tiny cat ears.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight.
• Spot clean first whenever possible.
• Avoid pulling on flowers, hat trim, or miniature accessories.
• Store with tissue support inside hats and skirts to keep shape.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Eyes evenly placed on both dolls
• Hat brim smooth and balanced
• Dress straps same length
• Shoes aligned forward
• Foxglove appliqué flowing diagonally on bunny dress
• Cat hat band and small flower attached
• Backpack flap centered
• Watering can spout angled neatly
• Loose flower stem shaped with natural curve

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a soft dry brush to remove surface dust. For light marks, dab gently with cool water and a mild soap solution, then blot with a towel. Never scrub the flower petals or facial embroidery.

If the item becomes damp, reshape the hat, ears, skirt, and flowers while drying flat. Keep the accessories separated during cleaning so they do not lose form. For long-term storage, wrap each piece in clean tissue and place in a breathable box.
