Powder Blue Lace Bunny – Crochet

This powder blue bunny set is designed as a charming amigurumi rabbit doll with a full outfit and tiny matching accessories. It has the polished look people search for in a handmade bunny gift, collectible crochet doll, and nursery décor bunny, while still being practical to stitch at home.

The finished set includes the dressed bunny, bonnet-style hat, shoes, crossbody purse with a teddy charm, a tiny basket, teacup, flower bouquet, and a sweet mouse companion. If you love the look of a heirloom crochet toy or a cute handmade stuffed animal, this design captures that soft boutique style beautifully.

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 built to match the image as closely as possible. The bunny has a large round head, a small tapered body, long soft ears, short sturdy legs, rounded arms, and a gentle face with widely spaced eyes and a tiny embroidered nose and mouth.

The outfit is essential to the final look. The bunny wears a powder blue dress with white ruffles, a pale blue neck frill, puffed blue sleeves, a layered skirt edge, a matching brimmed hat with a daisy detail, blue Mary Jane shoes, and a blue crossbody purse decorated with a miniature teddy.

The small scene pieces matter too. The image also shows a little woven basket with a gingham flap, a teacup and saucer, a bouquet of white daisies, and a small mouse in a blue dress and hat. Every piece is included below.

Skill Level

Advanced beginner to intermediate.

The shaping is straightforward, but the finish depends on neat tension, careful assembly, and accurate placement of trims. Many parts are small. Take your time and keep each accessory light and proportional so the finished set stays delicate instead of bulky.

General Notes

• Work the bunny, mouse, purse, basket, cup, and bouquet in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
• Mark the first stitch of every round.
• Stuff firmly enough to hold shape, but do not overstuff the clothing or tiny accessories.
• The image shows compact, even stitches. Tight tension is important.
• Invisible decreases help keep the face and limbs smooth.
• The outfit must sit close to the body. If it looks loose, go down a hook size.

Main Bunny

Legs Make 2

The legs are short, straight, and slightly rounded at the feet. They sit close together under the dress and are visible only from the lower skirt edge down. Keep them neat and slim.

1. With ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Sc around in BLO. (18)
5. Sc 5, dec, sc 7, dec, sc 2. (16)
6. Sc around. (16)
7. Sc 4, dec, sc 6, dec, sc 2. (14)
8. Sc around. (14)
9. Stuff foot lightly.
10. Sc around for 6 to 8 more rounds until leg measures proportional to the body. Keep the leg narrow. (14)
11. Fasten off first leg. Make second leg but do not fasten off.

Body

The body is pear-shaped but small compared with the head. It should support the dress without looking long. The shoulders are soft and rounded, and the neck is narrow.

1. Join the second leg to the first with 3 ch, then continue around both legs and both sides of the chain bridge to begin the body. You should have about 34 to 36 sts depending on your leg spacing.
2. Sc around one full round to stabilize.
3. Sc 4, inc, rep around. Increase to about 40 sts.
4. Sc around.
5. Sc 5, inc, rep around. Increase to about 46 sts.
6. Sc around for 3 rounds.
7. Sc 5, dec, rep around. Decrease to about 40 sts.
8. Sc around.
9. Sc 4, dec, rep around. Decrease to about 34 sts.
10. Sc around.
11. Sc 3, dec, rep around. Decrease to about 28 sts.
12. Stuff the body firmly, shaping a rounded lower half.
13. Sc around 1 round.
14. Sc 2, dec, rep around. (21)
15. Sc around.
16. Sc 1, dec, rep around. (14)
17. Work 2 to 3 rounds straight to create the neck. (14)

Head

The head is the largest feature in the whole set. It is almost a full sphere, slightly flatter at the face, with a soft chin area. The face should look sweet, calm, and minimal.

1. Continuing from neck or join ivory yarn at the neck opening.
2. Inc evenly around to 21 sts.
3. Sc 2, inc, rep around. (28)
4. Sc 3, inc, rep around. (35)
5. Sc 4, inc, rep around. (42)
6. Sc 5, inc, rep around. (49)
7. Sc 6, inc, rep around. (56)
8. Sc around for 6 to 8 rounds.

Insert safety eyes between the middle rounds of the head, spaced widely to match the image. The eyes sit low enough to leave forehead room for the hat, but not so low that they crowd the nose. A spacing of about 10 to 12 stitches works well, depending on your stitch size.

1. Continue with 56 sts for 1 more round after eye placement.
2. Sc 6, dec, rep around. (49)
3. Sc 5, dec, rep around. (42)
4. Begin stuffing very firmly, especially at the cheeks and crown.
5. Sc 4, dec, rep around. (35)
6. Sc 3, dec, rep around. (28)
7. Sc 2, dec, rep around. (21)
8. Sc 1, dec, rep around. (14)
9. Dec around. (7)
10. Fasten off and close.

Face Shaping and Embroidery

The image shows a tiny pale pink triangular nose and a short centered mouth. There are no heavy cheeks, lashes, or blush circles. Keep everything understated.

• Embroider a small triangle nose halfway between the eyes and slightly below their lower edge.
• Use one strand of blush or pale pink thread.
• Add a very short vertical stitch under the nose.
• Add a shallow V or tiny horizontal mouth detail.
• If needed, make slight eye indentations with matching thread before embroidering the nose.

Arms Make 2

The arms are short and softly stuffed. Most of the upper arm is hidden by the sleeves, so keep the shaping simple and slim. The hands are ivory.

1. With ivory, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc around 2 rounds. (12)
4. Change to powder blue. Work 6 to 8 rounds sc around. (12)
5. Stuff lightly at the hand only.
6. Flatten and close with 6 sc through both sides, or sew later.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, flat, and softly curved. They hang from beneath the hat and fall almost to the lower head and shoulder area. They are not stiff or upright.

1. With beige, ch 9.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sc 7, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 6, inc in final st. (18)
3. Sc around. (18)
4. Sc 7, inc x2, sc 7, inc x2. (22)
5. Sc around for 8 to 10 rounds.
6. For a slightly tapered tip, dec once at each side every third round for 2 rounds total.
7. Flatten gently. Do not stuff.
8. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

Clothing for the Bunny

Underskirt Lace Trim

The lower edge in the image shows a white lacy layer peeking under the blue skirt. Make this first or add it after the skirt, whichever method you prefer.

1. With white, make a chain that fits around the lower dress circumference.
2. Join without twisting.
3. Round 1: sc around.
4. Round 2: ch 1, (sc, ch 2, skip 1) around for a light eyelet effect.
5. Round 3: in each ch-2 space work sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc for soft shells.
6. Fasten off.

Dress Base

The dress is one of the most important features. It is full, rounded, and neat, with a fitted upper section and a softly flared skirt. The visible color balance is mostly powder blue with white decorative trim.

1. With powder blue, ch enough to fit around the bunny waist and join, or crochet directly around the body if you prefer a permanent dress.
2. Round 1: sc evenly around.
3. Round 2: sc around in BLO.
4. Round 3: sc 4, inc, rep around.
5. Round 4: sc around.
6. Round 5: sc 5, inc, rep around.
7. Round 6: sc around.
8. Round 7: sc 6, inc, rep around.
9. Round 8: sc around.
10. Round 9: sc 7, inc, rep around.
11. Round 10: sc around.

The skirt should now sit in a smooth bell shape. If you want more volume like the image, add one more increase round. Stop before the skirt becomes too wide for the bunny’s scale.

Dress Lower White Ruffle

1. Join white yarn to a front loop or to the lower skirt edge.
2. Work 2 dc in each st around for a gathered band.
3. Next round: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) in every other stitch or space to form rounded ruffles.
4. Fasten off and smooth the edge with your fingers.

Upper Bodice Panel

The center front of the bodice appears pale, with a vertical decorative panel and tiny buttons. This should contrast softly with the blue outer dress and jacket.

1. With white, make a small rectangle wide enough to cover the front chest only.
2. Ch 8 to 10 depending on your stitch size.
3. Work 6 to 8 rows of sc or hdc.
4. Fasten off.
5. Sew this panel to the center front of the upper body above the skirt line.
6. Add 2 or 3 tiny embroidered buttons or sewn seed beads down the middle.

Front White Ruffle Trim

The image shows soft vertical white ruffles framing the bodice. These run from shoulder level down toward the waist, one on each side of the white front panel.

1. With white, ch a length that reaches from the shoulder edge to just past the waistline.
2. Work 2 dc in each chain or each stitch along one side to create a narrow frill.
3. Make 2 identical strips.
4. Sew one on each side of the center panel.

Neck Frill

A pale blue neck frill sits above the bodice and softens the transition from head to dress. It looks like a tiny scalloped collar rather than a flat pointed collar.

1. With very pale blue, ch enough to circle the neck comfortably.
2. Join into a ring.
3. Round 1: sc around.
4. Round 2: work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) into every second stitch for miniature scallops.
5. Sew or tack in place around the neckline.

Blue Jacket or Outer Dress Layer

The bunny appears to wear a blue outer layer with long sleeves and a modest rounded silhouette. It reads as a tiny coat-dress or cardigan worn over the white-trimmed bodice. Keep it fitted and sweet, not bulky.

1. Work this directly onto the upper body or make it separately in rows.
2. Start at the back neckline in powder blue.
3. Create a yoke using short rows or simple panels for back, fronts, and sleeves.
4. Keep the front open just enough to reveal the white bodice and button accents.
5. The lower edge should stop above the main skirt ruffle so both skirt trims remain visible.
6. Finish sleeve ends and front edges with white scallops.

A simple construction option is to make a back panel, two narrow front panels, and two sleeves, then sew them neatly. The visual success matters more than a complex garment method. Match the image by keeping the shoulders rounded and the sleeves slightly wide.

Sleeves

1. With powder blue, ch 14 to 16 and join.
2. Work even rounds of sc or hdc for a short tube.
3. Increase slightly once near the upper arm if needed.
4. Join white yarn at the cuff.
5. Work one round of (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) scallops for a soft cuff edge.
6. Sew sleeves over the arms, then attach the arms to the body.

Shoes Make 2

The shoes are powder blue Mary Janes with white soles and a strap opening at the front. They are tidy and slightly rounded. A small button detail appears at the side.

1. With white, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Sc around in BLO. (18)
5. Change to powder blue.
6. Sc 5, dec x4, sc 5. (14)
7. Sc around.
8. Create a strap by chaining 5 to 7 stitches from one side of the opening and anchoring it on the other side.
9. Add a tiny side button or embroidered dot.
10. Sew to feet securely.

Hat

The hat is a rounded cloche shape with a modest brim. It sits low over the forehead and ears. A white trim line wraps around it, and a small daisy accent is attached on the side.

1. With powder blue, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Inc around. (12)
3. Sc, inc x6. (18)
4. Sc 2, inc x6. (24)
5. Sc 3, inc x6. (30)
6. Sc 4, inc x6. (36)
7. Sc 5, inc x6. (42)
8. Sc around for 6 to 8 rounds to form the crown.

Try the hat on the head. It should cover the crown comfortably and sit low, but not hide the eyes. Adjust one round larger or smaller if needed.

1. To begin the brim, work 1 round in FLO.
2. Next round: sc 6, inc, rep around.
3. Work 2 to 3 more rounds even or with one more gentle increase round for a slight outward flare.
4. Fasten off.

Hat Trim and Daisy

1. With white, embroider or surface-crochet one wavy line around the hat above the brim.
2. For the daisy, make 5 or 6 white petals around a yellow center.
3. Sew the flower to one side of the hat.
4. Add a powder blue stitch beneath it if you want the layered look shown in the image.

Crossbody Purse

The purse is powder blue, rounded, and soft, with a long strap worn across the front of the bunny. A button detail appears on the lower right side, and a tiny teddy hangs at the center.

1. With powder blue, ch 8.
2. Work an oval: sc 6, 3 sc in end, sc 5 along opposite side, 2 sc in last. (16)
3. Round 2: inc at both ends evenly to form a plump oval. Aim for about 20 sts.
4. Rounds 3 to 6: sc around.
5. Flatten lightly and seam the top closed, or crochet a front and back panel and join them.
6. Add a narrow flap if desired, but keep the purse body rounded as in the image.
7. Create a long strap with 45 to 60 chains depending on the bunny size.
8. Single crochet back along the chain for strength.
9. Sew strap diagonally so the purse sits at the bunny’s right hip.

Styling Notes for Accuracy

• The bunny’s head should look larger than the body by a noticeable margin.
• The ears must hang softly below the hat, not stick outward.
• The dress should be rounded and full at the hem, with visible white trim layers.
• The bodice front needs white ruffles and tiny center details.
• The sleeves should be blue with white scalloped cuffs.
• The purse must sit at the bunny’s right side.
• The teddy charm should hang near the center front.
• The hat brim should be modest, slightly downward, and decorated with one daisy.
• The mouse should remain smaller and simpler than the bunny.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Once every piece is complete, step back and compare the silhouette before permanently sewing the last details. The face should stay minimal, with bright round eyes, a tiny pink nose, and a very small mouth. Avoid oversized embroidery because the sweetness of the bunny comes from restraint.

Shape the cheeks gently with your fingers and smooth the stuffing from crown to chin. Place the hat low enough to frame the face, then let the ears fall naturally. Position the purse strap and teddy charm before fixing them so the front of the bunny keeps the same balanced arrangement as the image.

Set the accessories close to the bunny for display. The basket belongs on the left side, while the mouse, teacup, and bouquet can be arranged on the right and front areas. These small pieces complete the quiet storybook mood of the set.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from direct sunlight.
• Do not hang the bunny by the purse strap or hat brim.
• Move the set by supporting the body, not the accessories.
• If the item is meant for gentle handling, double-secure all tiny parts.
• For child use, replace beads and buttons with embroidery.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are the bunny eyes evenly placed?
• Does the nose sit centered between the eyes?
• Do both ears hang at the same level?
• Is the skirt full but still proportional?
• Are the sleeve cuffs and hem trims symmetrical?
• Does the purse sit at the correct side of the body?
• Is the teddy charm centered and visible?
• Does the hat sit low and round with a side flower?
• Are the basket, cup, bouquet, and mouse all scaled small enough?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For routine care, use a soft dry brush or a gentle stream of cool air to remove dust. If deeper cleaning is needed, spot-clean with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the stuffed parts because heavy moisture can distort the shape.

Dry every piece flat on a towel and reshape while damp. Keep hats, ruffles, and small accessories in their intended form until fully dry. Do not twist, wring, or machine wash. For long-term storage, wrap the set loosely in acid-free tissue and place it in a breathable box.

If your piece includes glued details, avoid heat and high humidity. If it includes wire flower stems, store them flat or upright so they do not bend sharply. Proper storage will help the bunny keep its smooth stitches, rounded face, and crisp decorative edges.
