Cinnamon Daisy Bunny – Crochet

Cinnamon Daisy Bunny – Crochet

This sweet amigurumi bunny set is designed to look like a handmade bunny doll you might search for when shopping for a collectible stuffed rabbit, cottagecore nursery decor, or a charming baby shower gift. The warm cinnamon dress, flowered hat, tiny animal friends, and picnic accessories create a polished boutique-style finish.

If you love browsing for an amigurumi rabbit doll, artisan crochet toy, woodland nursery gift, or heirloom-style bunny with accessories, this design captures that same cozy look in stitches. Every piece is written to match the image closely, from the scalloped collar and satchel to the teapot and tiny mushrooms.

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

Design Notes

This pattern uses very tight amigurumi stitches. Keep your tension firm so the bunny stays smooth and rounded, especially on the head, muzzle area, and skirt.

The bunny in the image has a large round head, a smaller pear-shaped body, slim limbs, and long soft ears that hang straight down. The dress is full and structured, but not stiff. The hat sits low on the forehead and frames the face.

Work most pieces in continuous rounds unless the section says otherwise. Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round and move it up as you go.

The accessory scale matters. The squirrel and hedgehog should reach only to about the bunny’s lower skirt. The bag should rest near hip level. The teddy should look tiny against the bodice.

Finished Size

  • Bunny: about 11 to 13 inches tall including hat, depending on yarn and tension
  • Squirrel: about 3.5 to 4.5 inches tall
  • Hedgehog: about 2.5 to 3.5 inches tall
  • Bag: about 2 inches wide
  • Teapot: about 1.25 inches tall
  • Cup and saucer: about 0.75 inch wide
  • Basket: about 2 inches wide

Color Placement Overview

  • Cream for head, muzzle, ears, legs, hands, and lower petticoat
  • Cinnamon brown for dress, hat, shoes, bag, teddy bear, and basket

  • Dusty rose and soft pink for hat flowers and bag flower center detail
  • Green for leaves and the squirrel vest
  • Gray for the hedgehog body

Bunny Head

Use cream yarn. Stuff firmly as you go, but shape with your fingers often so the face stays smooth and rounded rather than overly tall.

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

Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 13 and 14 with about 10 to 12 stitches between them. Place them slightly lower than center so the hat brim can sit above them without hiding the expression.

Embroider a very small pale pink triangular nose centered between the eyes, about two rounds lower. Add a short vertical line and a tiny split mouth underneath. Keep the features delicate.

  1. Round 21: 7 sc, dec rep around. (48)
  2. Round 22: 6 sc, dec rep around. (42)
  3. Round 23: 5 sc, dec rep around. (36)
  4. Round 24: 4 sc, dec rep around. (30)

Stuff firmly and shape the cheeks gently. The head should look broad, plush, and almost perfectly round from the front.

  1. Round 25: 3 sc, dec rep around. (24)
  2. Round 26: 2 sc, dec rep around. (18)

Leave the opening for attaching to the body. Do not finish off yet unless you prefer to sew later.

Ears Make 2

Use cream yarn. These ears are long, narrow, and softly flattened. They hang down almost to the waist and should not stand upright.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
  4. Rounds 4 to 24: sc around. (18)

Flatten the ear and crochet through both layers for 6 sc at the top edge to close. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Do not stuff the ears. Lightly steam with care if needed so they drape smoothly. Sew them to the head around Rounds 6 to 8, spaced to sit behind the hat brim and fall straight down along the cheeks.

Body

Use cream for the upper body base. This section forms the core under the dress. The body is smaller than the head and slightly tapered.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
  4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
  5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
  6. Rounds 6 to 9: sc around. (30)
  7. Round 10: 3 sc, dec rep around. (24)
  8. Rounds 11 to 13: sc around. (24)

Stuff the body firmly, especially at the neck so the head will not wobble. Fasten off with a long tail if sewing to the head separately.

Legs Make 2

Use cream. The legs are slim and straight. Most of the visible bulk at the feet comes from the shoes added later.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Rounds 3 to 16: sc around. (12)

Lightly stuff the lower part and only a little near the top so the legs can sit naturally under the skirt.

Finish the first leg. On the second leg, do not fasten off. Join the legs with 4 chains.

Joining Legs to Lower Torso

  1. From the second leg, sc around that leg, sc across the 4 chains, sc around the first leg, sc across the other side of the chain bridge. Total count should be about 32 stitches.
  2. Work 2 rounds even.
  3. Dec 4 stitches evenly across the next round. (28)
  4. Work 1 round even.
  5. Dec 4 stitches evenly across the next round. (24)

This lower structure supports the dress. Add stuffing and make sure both legs point straight down and remain parallel.

Arms Make 2

Start with cream for the hands, then change to cinnamon for the sleeves.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: sc around. (6)
  3. Round 3: inc evenly to 8 stitches. (8)
  4. Round 4: sc around in cream. (8)
  5. Change to cinnamon
  6. Rounds 5 to 13: sc around. (8)

Stuff only the hand and lower arm lightly. Flatten the top and close with 4 sc through both layers. Leave a long tail.

📌Thank you for reading the article

The sleeves should angle slightly downward from the shoulders. Sew them low enough that the collar still shows clearly.

Neck Joining

Sew the head securely to the body. Take time to align the nose with the center of the torso and the legs.

Add extra stuffing into the neck area before closing if needed. The head in the image sits upright without drooping, but still looks soft rather than rigid.

Petticoat Base

Use cream. This layer peeks out below the brown overskirt and helps create the tiered look seen in the image.

Attach cream yarn around the lower body where the skirt will begin, roughly the widest part of the torso above the leg join. Work in FLO if you want a cleaner line between bodice and skirt.

  1. Round 1: 24 sc evenly around
  2. Round 2: 2 sc, inc rep around. (32)
  3. Round 3: 3 sc, inc rep around. (40)
  4. Round 4: sc around
  5. Round 5: 4 sc, inc rep around. (48)
  6. Rounds 6 to 8: sc around

For the petticoat lace edge, work: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) into every other stitch or every third stitch depending on your tension. You want a soft frill, not a dramatic ruffle.

Dress Bodice

Use cinnamon brown. The dress in the image has a neat fitted bodice with a white scalloped collar and three tiny front buttons.

Attach brown yarn around the upper torso just below the neck.

  1. Round 1: 24 sc around
  2. Round 2: sc around
  3. Round 3: sc around
  4. Round 4: sc around

For a slightly shaped waist, you may dec 2 stitches evenly on one round, then return to the original count with 2 increases on the final bodice round. Keep the bodice smooth and close fitting.

Embroider three small vertical buttons at the center front using dusty rose, beige, or darker brown. Keep them tiny and evenly spaced.

Collar

Use white. The collar is broad, soft, and scalloped, sitting over the brown dress and above the bag strap.

Work in rows or around the neckline directly. A direct neckline collar usually looks neater for this style.

  1. Join white at the front neckline and work 18 to 22 sc around the front half of the neck opening only.
  2. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across.
  3. Row 3: ch 1, turn, make a scallop edge using (sl st, sc, hdc, sc, sl st) across in small repeats.

Make two collar flaps or one continuous collar that spreads left and right. Stitch it flat so the points lie neatly over the shoulders and chest.

Dress Skirt

Use cinnamon brown. This skirt is the most important clothing feature after the hat. It is full, round, and falls in a graceful bell shape.

Attach yarn at the waist over the petticoat layer.

  1. Round 1: 24 sc around
  2. Round 2: 2 sc, inc rep around. (32)
  3. Round 3: 3 sc, inc rep around. (40)
  4. Round 4: sc around
  5. Round 5: 4 sc, inc rep around. (48)
  6. Round 6: sc around
  7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (56)
  8. Round 8: sc around
  9. Round 9: 6 sc, inc rep around. (64)
  10. Rounds 10 to 12: sc around

For the lower brown ruffle, work a separate trim or use the last round. Make a gathered border with (2 dc in one stitch, 1 dc in next) around, or use clustered shells for a more sculpted flounce.

The image shows a darker, textured ruffle line above the cream petticoat lace. You can mimic that by adding one extra brown round in BLO, then a front-loop ruffle round.

Sleeve Cuffs

Use white. Add a tiny lace cuff to each sleeve.

  • Join white at the wrist edge
  • Work a round of sl st or sc
  • Add a tiny scallop edge using (sc, hdc, sc) in alternating stitches

Keep the cuffs fine and delicate. They should be noticeable, but not oversized.

Hat

Use cinnamon brown. The hat is a soft bucket-cloche style with a rounded crown and a downward brim. It sits low and cozy.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
  4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc rep around. (24)
  5. Round 5: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
  6. Round 6: 4 sc, inc rep around. (36)
  7. Round 7: 5 sc, inc rep around. (42)
  8. Round 8: 6 sc, inc rep around. (48)
  9. Rounds 9 to 15: sc around. (48)

Try the hat on the bunny. It should fit over the head snugly without compressing the ears too tightly.

  1. Round 16: BLO sc around. (48)
  2. Round 17: 7 sc, inc rep around. (54)
  3. Round 18: sc around
  4. Round 19: 8 sc, inc rep around. (60)
  5. Round 20: sc around
  6. Round 21: 9 sc, inc rep around. (66)

The brim should gently slope down. If needed, steam lightly over a form or add a row of slip stitches inside the edge for control.

Hat Flowers and Leaves

The floral cluster sits on one side of the hat brim. Make one white daisy, one dusty rose flower, one soft pink flower, and two green leaves.

White Daisy

  1. With yellow, make a small center: 6 sc in MR, sl st and fasten off.
  2. With white, join to any stitch and make 5 petals: ch 3, sl st in same stitch rep around.

Rose Flower

With dusty rose or soft pink, chain 16. In the second chain from hook, work a strip of sc, hdc, dc repeats to create a petal band. Roll the strip and stitch at the base.

Leaves Make 2

With green, ch 6. Work along one side: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc. Work on the opposite side of the chain for a pointed oval leaf. Fasten off.

Arrange the leaves first, then the white daisy, then the pink flowers. Stitch the cluster securely on the right side of the hat as shown in the image.

Crossbody Bag

Use cinnamon brown for the bag, white for trim, pink and green for the flap flower.

The bag is a small rounded rectangle with a flap and a long strap crossing from the bunny’s shoulder to the opposite hip.

Bag Body

  1. Ch 9
  2. Round 1: starting in second chain, sc 7, 3 sc in last chain, sc 6 on other side, 2 sc in final chain. (18)
  3. Rounds 2 to 5: sc around. (18)

Fasten off and flatten lightly. Do not overstuff, or leave unstuffed for a soft pouch.

Flap

Join yarn to the back top edge of the bag.

  1. Row 1: sc across 8 stitches
  2. Rows 2 to 4: turn, sc across
  3. Row 5: dec, sc across to last 2 stitches, dec
  4. Row 6: sc across

Add white trim all around the flap edge using small scallops.

Make one tiny layered flower for the flap. Add a pink center, pale petals, and a small green accent if desired. Stitch it to the front flap center.

Strap

Chain a long strap, about 28 to 34 chains depending on your bunny size. Work one row of slip stitches or sc back across for strength.

Sew the strap so it crosses diagonally over the chest. The bag should sit at the bunny’s right hip.

Shoes Make 2

Use cinnamon brown with dark brown laces. These shoes are ankle-height and rounded at the toe, like tiny lace-up boots.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
  2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
  3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
  4. Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)
  5. Rounds 5 to 7: sc around. (18)

Flatten the front slightly with a few shaping stitches if needed. Slip the boots over the feet and sew lightly in place.

For the laces, thread dark brown cord or chain a narrow tie. Cross once or twice and finish with a tiny bow on the front.

Teddy Bear for Bodice

Use cinnamon brown with a tiny cream muzzle. This bear is very small and sewn to the front of the bunny dress, slightly off center.

Head

Squirrel

The squirrel is warm brown with a cream belly and a green vest. It stands upright with a curled tail behind it.

  3. Work 4 rounds even for the head
  4. Decrease slightly at the neck

Make two tiny pointed ears. Add a tuft by pulling one or two strands upward at each tip.

Tail

Chain 10 to 12, work back with increases to form a long curved tail, or crochet an oval tail piece and bend it into a curl. Attach high on the back.

Vest

With green, make a tiny sleeveless front-open vest that covers only the torso sides and back. Keep it short so the cream belly stays visible.

Add tiny black eyes and a small embroidered nose.

Hedgehog

The hedgehog has a beige face and belly with a textured gray back. It wears a blue scarf tied at the front.

Body

  1. With beige, start 6 sc in MR
  2. Increase to 12, then 18
  3. Work a few rounds for the face and lower body

To create the spiky texture, use small bobbles, loop stitches, or staggered half double popcorns on the gray section only. Keep the face smooth.

Feet and Hands

Make tiny beige nubs or embroider them. This piece is very small, so simple shaping works best.

Scarf

With blue, chain a narrow strip long enough to wrap once around the neck. Tie or sew in place with one short tail hanging in front.

  3. Rounds 2 to 5: sc around

For the handle, either chain 14 to 18 and work back in sl st, or crochet a firm strip. Sew both ends to the inside rim. Add wire inside only if you want a very crisp arch.

Make each daisy with a tiny center ring and simple chain petals. Keep them flat and delicate.

Assembly Order

  1. Sew the head to the body
  2. Sew the ears to the head
  3. Sew the arms to the upper body
  4. Add the petticoat and then the brown skirt
  5. Add the collar and sleeve cuffs
  6. Attach the teddy to the bodice
  7. Place the shoes on the feet and add laces
  8. Sew the bag strap and bag in place
  9. Decorate the hat and set it on the head
  10. Complete the side accessories and arrange them around the bunny

Shaping Tips for an Image-Accurate Finish

  • The head should be wider than the neck by a clear margin
  • The ears should hang close to the cheeks, not flare outward
  • The collar should spread like soft petals over the shoulders
  • The skirt should be full enough to hide the upper legs
  • The hat brim should sit low, almost touching the tops of the eyes
  • The bag strap must cross diagonally over the front, not straight down
  • The teddy should look very small compared with the bunny body

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the face first. The eyes should be even, glossy, and slightly low on the head. The nose should be tiny, pale pink, and centered. A short stitched mouth keeps the expression calm and sweet.

Adjust the hat after the ears are sewn. Let the brim frame the face without covering the eyes. Stitch the hat lightly in two or three hidden spots if you want it to stay fixed.

Position the bag so it rests naturally at hip height. The teddy should sit on the upper bodice. Arrange the squirrel, hedgehog, basket, teapot, cup, mushrooms, and flowers in a balanced woodland picnic scene.

Care Notes

  • Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight
  • Spot clean first whenever possible
  • Keep small accessories away from very young children
  • Store the hat and tiny pieces together so nothing gets lost

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Head centered and firmly attached
  • Ears matched in length and placement
  • Collar flat and even
  • Skirt full, layered, and balanced
  • Hat decorated on one side with flowers and leaves
  • Bag flap trimmed and flower added
  • Boot laces tied neatly
  • Teddy secured to the dress
  • All mini accessories stitched closed and shaped

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the set gently with a soft dry brush. For light soil, use a barely damp cloth and pat instead of rubbing. Avoid soaking stuffed pieces unless absolutely necessary.

If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash carefully in cool water with mild soap. Press out moisture in a towel and reshape every piece before air drying flat.

Store in a clean dry box with tissue support around the hat brim and skirt. Keep dark accessories from pressing against lighter yarn for long periods to prevent color transfer.
