Finished Size

The bunny stands about 9 to 10 inches tall from feet to the top of the head, not including the hat. With the hat on, the total height appears closer to 10.5 inches. The teddy is about one-third of the bunny’s height. The accessories are scaled to match that proportion.

Design Notes

This design has a gentle, rounded silhouette. The head is large and nearly spherical, while the body is smaller and softly pear-shaped. The ears are long, flat, and relaxed, hanging down from beneath the hat brim. Keep your stitches firm so the figure holds its shape cleanly.

The dress is very important in this set. It has a fitted bodice, small shoulder ruffles, and a double-tier skirt with scalloped edges. Blue flower details are stitched directly onto the dress, not added as separate bulky appliqués. The floral lines should feel delicate and evenly spaced.

The hat is a smooth cloche shape with a gently flared brim. One blue flower sits on the side, not centered. The bag is small, rounded, and worn diagonally across the front. The shoes are simple Mary Jane style slippers with white trim and a tiny side button detail.

Gauge and Tension

Exact gauge is less important than proportion, but your stitches must be tight enough that stuffing does not show. If your fabric looks loose, go down a hook size. The bunny should feel firm, smooth, and balanced, with the limbs slightly soft but not floppy.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 13 and 14 with about 10 stitches between them. The eyes should sit low enough to make the forehead look round and soft. In the image, the face is calm and open, so do not place the eyes too close together.

Muzzle Shaping

The bunny has a subtle muzzle, not a protruding snout. To create that look, lightly stuff the head only after beginning the decrease section. Before closing fully, add a small horizontal nose in pale pink and a short vertical line below it using embroidery yarn.

1. Round 19: (7 sc, dec) x6. (48)
2. Round 20: (6 sc, dec) x6. (42)
3. Round 21: (5 sc, dec) x6. (36)
4. Round 22: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)
5. Round 23: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
6. Stuff firmly and evenly.
7. Round 24: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
8. Round 25: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
9. Round 26: dec around. (6)
10. Fasten off and close.

Bunny Ears Make 2

The ears are long, slim, softly flattened, and attached slightly behind the top half of the head. They are not wired. Their length reaches to about the bunny’s upper torso when hanging naturally, so keep them elegant and narrow.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rounds 4 to 7: sc around. (18)
5. Round 8: (7 sc, dec) x2. (16)
6. Rounds 9 to 20: sc around. (16)
7. Round 21: (6 sc, dec) x2. (14)
8. Rounds 22 to 28: sc around. (14)
9. Flatten the opening and sc through both sides for 6 to 7 stitches, leaving a short sewing edge.

Do not overstuff the ears. In fact, for this look, leave them unstuffed or add only the slightest touch near the base. Flatten them gently with your fingers so they drape neatly from under the hat brim.

Bunny Body

The body is smaller than the head and slightly tapered. It should look sweet and compact under the dress. The shoulders are narrow, while the lower body is rounded enough to support the layered skirt without making it bulge too much.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. Rounds 7 to 11: sc around. (36)
8. Round 12: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)
9. Rounds 13 to 16: sc around. (30)
10. Round 17: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
11. Rounds 18 to 20: sc around. (24)
12. Stuff firmly.
13. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.

Bunny Arms Make 2

The arms are short, softly tubular, and slightly curved inward. They reach to about the upper skirt tier when attached. Keep them slim so the figure remains delicate, matching the refined look shown in the image.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: (sc, inc) x3. (9)
3. Round 3: sc around. (9)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x3. (12)
5. Rounds 5 to 14: sc around. (12)
6. Round 15: (4 sc, dec) x2. (10)
7. Rounds 16 to 18: sc around. (10)
8. Lightly stuff only the lower half.
9. Flatten the opening and close with 4 to 5 sc through both sides.

Bunny Legs Make 2

The legs are upright and slightly chunky at the feet so the bunny can stand well. The calves are simple and straight, while the feet are hidden under the dress and shoes. Make both legs identical and check their length carefully before joining to the body.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Round 4: sc around. (18)
5. Round 5: 6 sc, 3 dec, 6 sc. (15)
6. Rounds 6 to 7: sc around. (15)
7. Round 8: (3 sc, dec) x3. (12)
8. Rounds 9 to 18: sc around. (12)
9. Stuff firmly, especially the foot and ankle.
10. Fasten off on first leg. On second leg, leave yarn to join or sew later depending on your preferred construction.

Joining Bunny Parts

Sew the head onto the body with the face centered. Because the head is large, add extra stuffing at the neck if needed. The ears should be attached high on the head but slightly behind the eye line. They must fall downward, framing the sides of the face.

Sew the arms at the upper side of the body just below the neck seam. Angle them slightly downward. Attach the legs underneath the body so the bunny stands upright with a soft, balanced stance. Check the silhouette from the front before tying off every seam.

Face Embroidery

• Use black safety eyes already inserted.
• Embroider a tiny pale pink triangle nose.
• Add a short vertical line below the nose.
• Optional: make one tiny horizontal stitch at each side of the muzzle for a softer expression.
• Do not add large blush circles. The face in the image is clean and minimal.

Dress Bodice

The dress is worked separately and then dressed onto the bunny. It has a fitted upper section with a square-soft neckline feel, though it is still crochet-round construction. The shoulder area carries small ruffles, and the chest has scattered blue floral embroidery.

1. With butter-yellow yarn, ch 28 and join carefully without twisting, or begin with a foundation ring sized to fit the upper torso snugly.
2. Round 1: sc around. (28)
3. Round 2: sc around. (28)
4. Round 3: (6 sc, inc) x4. (32)
5. Round 4: sc around. (32)
6. Round 5: work small shoulder shaping with (7 sc, inc) x4. (36)
7. Rounds 6 to 8: sc around. (36)

Test the bodice on the bunny before continuing. It should look neat and fitted, not loose. The top edge should sit just below the neck, while the lower edge should rest around the natural waistline where the skirt begins to flare.

Shoulder Ruffle

Join yarn at one arm opening edge. Work 2 dc in each stitch around the upper sleeve edge, or alternate 2 dc and 3 dc in stitches for a gentle flutter. Repeat on the other side. Keep the ruffles short and soft, not oversized.

Upper Skirt Tier

The first skirt layer begins at the waist and flares outward. In the image, the upper tier has a light gathered effect and a floral vine worked across it. The lower edge finishes with a decorative scallop.

1. Round 1 from waist edge: in FLO, (2 sc in each of next 2 sts, sc in next st) around to create fullness. Aim for 54 to 60 stitches.
2. Rounds 2 to 5: sc around.
3. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around.
4. Round 7: sc around.
5. Round 8 scallop edge: (sl st, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st) around.

Lower Skirt Tier

The second skirt tier sits under the first and extends farther outward. It should be slightly deeper than the upper tier so the layered look is visible from the front. This lower tier also has a blue floral garland and a scalloped edge.

1. Return to the unworked back loops at the waist base or attach slightly below the upper tier.
2. Round 1: increase more generously to 60 to 66 stitches.
3. Rounds 2 to 6: sc around.
4. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around if more fullness is needed.
5. Round 8 scallop edge: repeat the same scallop sequence used above.

Steam lightly if needed so both skirt tiers settle into clean layers. Do not flatten the ruffles completely. The dress should feel airy and dimensional, with the lower tier peeking out beneath the upper one.

Floral Embroidery on Dress

This detail gives the design its signature look. Use fine yarn or split cotton if needed. Stitch directly onto the finished dress using tiny straight stitches, lazy daisy petals, and short leaf stitches. Keep all flowers small, tidy, and evenly spaced.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Placement

• Chest area: scatter several tiny blue blossoms with green leaves.
• Upper skirt tier: stitch a horizontal vine with blue flowers and green leaves.
• Lower skirt tier: repeat a similar floral vine, slightly fuller than the upper one.

Flower Method

1. Make a tiny center knot or one small straight stitch in pale cream or blue.
2. Add 4 to 5 petals around the center using detached chain stitches or very short straight stitches.
3. Add 1 to 2 tiny leaves in green at each side.
4. Connect neighboring flowers with thin, light green stem stitches.

The image shows the flowers as delicate bluebell-like blooms rather than bold, chunky blossoms. Keep them refined. The flowers should enhance the dress, not dominate it. Leave small gaps between clusters so the embroidery looks graceful and breathable.

Bunny Hat

The hat is a rounded cloche with a softly flared brim. It sits low enough to overlap the ear bases and frames the face. The crown is smooth, not pointy, and the brim curves downward slightly before relaxing outward.

1. With beige yarn, Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
7. Round 7: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
8. Round 8: (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
9. Round 9: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
10. Rounds 10 to 16: sc around. (54)
11. Round 17: BLO sc around. (54)
12. Round 18: (8 sc, inc) x6. (60)
13. Round 19: sc around. (60)
14. Round 20: (9 sc, inc) x6. (66)
15. Round 21: sc around. (66)
16. Round 22: (10 sc, inc) x6. (72)
17. Round 23: sl st loosely around or crab stitch for a neat edge.

Check the fit over the head and ears. The brim should angle down slightly at the front and sides. If your yarn is soft, you may thread a hidden round of lightweight wire or firm cord inside the final edge, but only if you want a more structured display piece.

Blue Hat Flower

1. With blue yarn, make 5 ch.
2. Join to form a ring.
3. Work 5 petals into the ring: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) x5.
4. Make a tiny center knot in darker blue if desired.
5. Sew the flower to one side of the hat, not directly front-center.

Crossbody Bag

The bag is small, rounded, and bright yellow. It hangs from the bunny’s left shoulder across the chest toward the right side of the skirt. A tiny blue-and-cream flower decorates the front.

1. With yellow yarn, ch 7.
2. Round 1: sc in second ch from hook and across, 3 sc in last ch, continue on underside, sc across, 2 sc in final st. (14)
3. Round 2: inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. Rounds 3 to 7: sc around. (20)
5. Fasten off first panel and make a second matching panel if you prefer a two-piece bag, or continue upward as a pouch.
6. Sew edges together, leaving top open.

Bag Strap

1. Ch enough to cross diagonally over the bunny, about 32 to 38 chains depending on your yarn and scale.
2. Work 1 row of sl st or sc back across.
3. Sew both ends securely to the top corners of the bag.

Bag Flower

Make a tiny 5-petal flower in cream with a blue center, then sew it to the front of the bag. Keep it flat and centered slightly toward the upper right area, matching the image.

Mary Jane Shoes Make 2

The shoes are bright yellow with white soles and a simple strap look. They are neat, rounded, and snug around the feet. A tiny side button detail appears on the outer side of each shoe.

Sole in White

1. Ch 7.
2. Round 1: sc in second ch from hook and across, 3 sc in last ch, continue on underside, sc across, 2 sc in last. (14)
3. Round 2: inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc. (20)
4. Round 3: sc around in BLO. (20)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Upper in Yellow

1. Round 4: 6 sc, 4 dec, 6 sc. (16)
2. Round 5: sc around. (16)
3. Round 6: 5 sc, 3 dec, 5 sc. (13)
4. Round 7: sc around, shaping opening as needed.

For the strap effect, embroider or crochet a small bridge across the top opening. Add a tiny cream or white knot at one side to imitate the side button seen in the image. Sew the finished shoes onto the feet or make them removable if your sizing allows.

Teddy Bear

The teddy is a small companion in warm brown with a cream muzzle and belly area, black eyes, and soft green scarf-like straps over the shoulders. It is rounded and simple, sitting upright beside the bunny.

Head

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rounds 5 to 8: sc around. (24)
6. Insert 5 mm eyes between Rounds 6 and 7.
7. Round 9: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
8. Round 10: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
9. Stuff and close.

Muzzle and Ears

• Make a tiny oval muzzle in cream with 6 to 8 stitches around.
• Embroider a brown nose and short mouth.
• Make 2 small ears: 6 sc in MR, then one round of 6 sc. Flatten and sew high on the head.

Body, Arms, and Legs

1. Body: start with 6 sc in MR, increase to 18, work 5 rounds even, then decrease to 12. Stuff firmly.
2. Arms: start with 6 sc in MR, increase to 9, work 5 to 6 rounds even. Lightly stuff.
3. Legs: start with 6 sc in MR, increase to 10, work 5 to 6 rounds even. Stuff more firmly at the feet.

Sew the teddy parts together with a seated posture. Add a cream oval or small patch to the tummy if desired. Then add two narrow green straps or scarf tails over the shoulders to echo the look in the image.

Picnic Basket

The basket is small, tan, and round with a slim upright handle. It holds red strawberries and small green-yellow fruit. Keep the basket shallow but wide enough to hold at least three miniature fruit pieces.

Basket Base

1. With tan yarn, Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Round 5: BLO sc around. (24)
6. Rounds 6 to 9: sc around. (24)

Handle

1. Ch 18 to 22 depending on the size you want.
2. Sl st back across.
3. Sew each end to opposite sides of the basket rim.

Fruit

• Strawberries: make tiny red cones, stuff lightly, and add green tops.
• Pear or apple shapes: make one or two tiny yellow-green fruits with a stem.
• Arrange the fruit so it peeks above the basket edge.

Mini Picnic Cloth

The cloth is a tiny folded rectangle in red and white checks. Since a true woven check is difficult at this scale in simple crochet, create the effect with surface color changes or embroidered grid lines.

1. With red yarn, crochet a small rectangle in sc rows, about 10 by 12 stitches.
2. Embroider white vertical and horizontal lines evenly across the surface.
3. Fold once or twice into a neat square or rectangle.
4. Place under the basket and book.

Mini Book

The book is very small, rectangular, and slightly thick, with a muted dusty cover. It sits beside the basket on the picnic cloth. Keep this accessory simple and flat enough to look believable beside the other miniatures.

1. Crochet two tiny rectangles in dusty rose or mauve for the covers.
2. Crochet or cut a very thin cream rectangle for the page block.
3. Sandwich them together and sew around three sides.
4. Add a brown line at the spine with embroidery yarn.

Styling Tips for an Accurate Look

• Keep the bunny’s face minimal and sweet.
• Let the ears hang low and flat under the hat.
• Use a warm butter-yellow, not a bright lemon shade, for the dress.
• Keep the hat beige and smooth, with one blue flower at the side.
• Place the bag diagonally across the chest, not straight down.
• Make the dress embroidery fine and airy, with many tiny blue blossoms.
• Do not make the teddy too large. It should remain clearly smaller than the bunny.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Once all parts are complete, check the bunny from the front and both sides. Adjust the ears so they frame the face evenly. Set the hat low enough to feel cozy. Confirm the eyes, nose, and mouth are centered. Straighten the skirt tiers and angle the bag naturally across the body.

Care Notes

• Display indoors for best color preservation.
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
• Keep away from rough handling if small details are attached.
• If used as décor, dust gently with a soft dry brush.
