This sweet amigurumi set features a long-eared bunny dressed in a soft rose party dress, matching cloche-style hat, tiny crossbody purse, dainty shoes, a picnic basket, a miniature tea set, little berries, and a woodland squirrel friend. It is a charming handmade doll set for collectors, gift giving, nursery decor, and spring display styling.
The finished pieces are designed to look polished and boutique-ready, with details often searched by shoppers such as amigurumi bunny doll, crochet stuffed animal set, handmade nursery toy, artisan doll outfit, and cute crochet gift ideas. The shapes are simple enough for confident beginners, but the layered details make the final set look premium and carefully made.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Materials
- Main bunny yarn: light beige or warm cream cotton yarn, DK or light worsted weight.
- Dress and accessories yarn: dusty pink, rose pink, deep berry pink, sage green, cream, tan, sky blue, and medium brown.
- Squirrel yarn: warm caramel brown, cream, and muted denim blue.
- Hook sizes: one main hook for the dolls and one slightly smaller hook for very tiny details if needed.
- Stuffing: polyester fiberfill.
- Safety eyes or black doll eyes: for bunny and squirrel.
- Tapestry needle, stitch markers, embroidery needle, scissors.
- Optional: thin plastic or cardboard insert for basket base and purse base.
Skill Notes
This set is worked mostly in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. The shaping is soft and rounded, with a slightly oversized head, slim limbs, and a full dress that sits high at the waist. The bunny is the main piece, and every accessory is scaled to suit that central figure.
Use a firm tension throughout. The image shows neat, compact stitches with very little stuffing visible. If your fabric looks loose, go down a hook size. The dress and hat should feel tidy and structured, not floppy. The squirrel should also sit upright without leaning heavily.
- Abbreviations: MR, ch, sl st, sc, inc, dec, hdc, dc, tr, FLO, BLO, st, rep.
- Important: invisible decreases will give the cleanest finish.
- Important: stuff gradually and evenly for smooth shaping.
- Important: keep all tiny floral details delicate rather than bulky.
Finished Size
The bunny should be the dominant figure in the set, standing approximately 8.5 to 10 inches tall from feet to top of head, excluding the hat brim. The ears should hang down to shoulder level. The squirrel should be much smaller, about half the bunny’s height.
The picnic basket, tea service, berries, and purse are all miniature props. They should look intentionally tiny beside the bunny, reinforcing the dollhouse feel. The dress is full but not oversized. It should reach just below the knees, with scalloped edging resting outward in a soft bell shape.
Color Planning
- Bunny body: pale cream-beige.
- Dress base: dusty pink.
- Flower accents: rose pink and deeper berry pink.
- Leaves and stems: muted sage green.
- Hat: dusty pink with tiny flower trim.
- Purse: dusty pink with flower applique.
- Shoes: pink with cream sock detail.
- Basket: tan with floral cloth.
- Tea set: white with tiny blue and pink accents.
- Squirrel: caramel brown with cream belly and blue vest.
Bunny Head
The bunny’s head is gently rounded and slightly wider than it is tall. The cheeks are soft and full, but the muzzle remains subtle. The face must stay minimal and sweet. The eyes are placed wide apart, and the nose and mouth are tiny, centered, and softly embroidered.
- Round 1: Make 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
- Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
- Round 8: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
- Rounds 9-16: Sc around. (48)
Insert the eyes between Rounds 11 and 12 with about 8 visible stitches between them. If using embroidered eyes, mark the positions first. The expression in the image is gentle and open, so do not place the eyes too low or too close together.
- Round 17: (6 sc, dec) around. (42)
- Round 18: Sc around. (42)
- Round 19: (5 sc, dec) around. (36)
- Round 20: (4 sc, dec) around. (30)
- Round 21: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
Begin stuffing firmly. Shape the cheeks with your fingers as you add filling. The face should remain smooth, without pointy corners or an overly hard forehead. The lower head should taper enough to join neatly to the neck without becoming narrow or weak.
- Round 22: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
- Round 23: Sc around. (18)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Fasten off with a long tail if you prefer to sew the head later. If you want an integrated neck join, continue from here into the neck section. The image shows a clean transition from head to body, so either method is fine as long as the neck is stable.
Facial Shaping
The bunny face has a very small triangular nose in pale pink-beige thread and a short vertical line below it. The mouth is minimal. Do not overwork the face. The charm comes from restraint, round cheeks, and the contrast between dark eyes and a tiny nose.
- Embroider a small horizontal triangle or wedge nose centered between the eyes, slightly below eye level.
- Add one short vertical stitch descending from the nose.
- Add a tiny suggestion of a mouth if desired, but keep it faint.
- Light blush on the cheeks may be added very softly.
Bunny Ears Make 2
The ears are long, flat, and relaxed, hanging down from beneath the hat. They are not heavily stuffed. Their base is broad enough to attach securely to the head, while the ends narrow slightly and curve naturally. The finished ears should reach the shoulder area.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Rounds 5-8: Sc around. (24)
- Round 9: (10 sc, dec) twice. (22)
- Rounds 10-16: Sc around. (22)
- Round 17: (9 sc, dec) twice. (20)
- Rounds 18-24: Sc around. (20)
- Round 25: (8 sc, dec) twice. (18)
- Rounds 26-30: Sc around. (18)
Flatten each ear and lightly steam or finger-shape if needed. Do not stuff, except perhaps a pinch at the base if you want more lift. Sew the ears to the sides of the head, slightly behind the eye line, allowing them to fall forward gently as in the image.
Neck and Body
The body is slim through the upper torso and slightly pear-shaped toward the lower section. Most of the visible bulk comes from the dress rather than the body itself. Keep the shoulders small and the waist neat, because the puffed sleeves and gathered skirt provide the silhouette.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: Sc around. (18)
- Round 5: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Rounds 6-8: Sc around. (24)
- Round 9: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Rounds 10-13: Sc around. (30)
- Round 14: (3 sc, dec) around. (24)
- Rounds 15-16: Sc around. (24)
Stuff the body firmly at the lower section and a little more lightly near the top. The bunny needs to stand beneath the dress without looking stiff. If you want extra support, insert a small inner dowel or tightly rolled support through body and head.
Legs Make 2
The legs are straight, narrow, and simple. They are positioned close together beneath the skirt. The shoes and socks create much of the visible foot styling, so the legs themselves should remain understated. Keep the lower legs evenly stuffed so the bunny can balance more neatly.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in beige. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Rounds 3-16: Sc around. (12)
Stuff lightly to medium. Flatten the top opening and sew each leg to the lower body. Position them so they hang straight down and are close enough for the skirt to fall naturally over them. The knees should not bend outward.
Arms Make 2
The arms are short, gently tapered, and lightly stuffed. They sit low enough that the puff sleeves still dominate the shoulder area. The hands are simple and rounded with no separate fingers. Their final angle should be relaxed, pointing slightly inward toward the dress.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: (Sc, inc) around. (9)
- Rounds 3-5: Sc around. (9)
- Round 6: Dec, 7 sc. (8)
- Rounds 7-15: Sc around. (8)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Stuff only the lower half more firmly. Leave the upper portion soft and flatten the opening. Sew the arms at the side of the body, slightly below the neckline area. The hands should end around the upper skirt area when resting naturally.
Dress Bodice
The dress is one of the signature features of the set. It is soft pink, textured, and covered with little floral accents. The bodice is fitted but not tight. The neckline is wide and rounded, and the sleeves are puffed and decorative rather than sleek or narrow.
You may crochet the dress directly onto the body or make it separately. A separate dress makes dressing easier, but an attached dress can sit more smoothly. The image shows the bodice fitting snugly, with the skirt opening broadly below the waist.
- Foundation: Chain to fit around upper torso, join without twisting.
- Round 1: Work sc evenly around.
- Round 2: Work hdc around for a smooth bodice texture.
- Round 3: Add shaping with small decreases at side points if needed.
- Round 4: Work even.
Leave arm openings or work the dress from the waist upward and finish the neckline later. The important goal is a clean, slightly rounded neckline that sits flat under the hat and frames the bunny face without crowding the neck.
Puff Sleeves Make 2
The sleeves are full, rounded, and decorated with small flowers. They should rise like soft little puffs at the shoulders. Their shape is important because they balance the hat and the full skirt. Keep them symmetrical and avoid making them too long or droopy.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in pink. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: Sc around. (18)
- Round 5: (Sc, dec) around lightly to gather. (12)
Do not overstuff. Add just a touch of filling or leave unstuffed for a soft puff. Sew the sleeves onto the arm openings so they sit as round caps, extending outward slightly from the shoulders. Add tiny rosette accents after attachment.
Dress Skirt
The skirt is wide, gathered, and bell-shaped. It should flare outward from the waist and end in a gentle scalloped border. The floral accents are scattered over the surface, not arranged in stiff lines. This gives the dress the romantic, garden-inspired look shown in the image.
- Join pink yarn at waist.
- Round 1: Work 2 hdc in every stitch around to create fullness.
- Round 2: Hdc around.
- Round 3: (3 hdc, inc) around.
- Rounds 4-7: Hdc around.
- Round 8: Work dc around for slightly more drape.
- Round 9: Scallop edging using sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st across repeating sections.
Shape the skirt with your fingers after finishing. It should stand away from the body in a soft dome. If it collapses too much, tighten tension or lightly starch the hem. The hemline in the image has a decorative but still delicate edge, never a heavy ruffle.
Embroidered and Crocheted Floral Dress Motifs
The dress is filled with tiny rose clusters and green vine accents. These are essential to the overall look. You can create them with miniature crocheted flowers sewn on, or combine tiny French-knot style embroidery with crochet leaves. Keep all motifs small and evenly scattered.
- Make tiny roses by wrapping a short strip of crochet or embroidery around itself.
- Use deep pink and medium rose pink for variation.
- Add tiny green leaf stitches or miniature leaf appliques beside some flowers.
- Place extra motifs near the sleeves, center front, and lower skirt.
Do not cover every inch. The image shows a balanced floral distribution with visible pink fabric between motifs. A few flowers should sit higher near the bodice, several on the sleeves, and many more across the skirt for a richly decorated but still elegant finish.
Hat
The bunny wears a neat dusty-pink cloche-style hat with a downward brim. It sits low enough to frame the face and cover the ear bases, while still leaving the eyes and cheeks fully visible. A small flower trim on one side gives it a refined, vintage look.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around. (30)
- Round 6: (4 sc, inc) around. (36)
- Round 7: (5 sc, inc) around. (42)
- Rounds 8-13: Sc around. (42)
- Round 14: BLO sc around. (42)
- Round 15: (6 sc, inc) around. (48)
- Round 16: Sc around. (48)
- Round 17: (7 sc, inc) around. (54)
- Round 18: Sc around. (54)
📌Thank you for reading the article
If needed, add a final round of slip stitches to refine the brim. The brim should tilt gently down, not flare sharply outward. Sew or pin a tiny flower cluster to one side using pink petals and sage leaves, matching the trim visible in the image.
Crossbody Purse
The purse is small, rounded, and soft pink, hanging from a narrow strap across the bunny’s chest. It rests at the hip and features a tiny flower accent on the front. The purse should look decorative first and practical second, with a compact rounded shape.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4-5: Sc around. (18)
Make two circles or a shallow pouch front and back, then join around the edges, leaving a small top opening. Add a chain or narrow stitched strap long enough to cross the body diagonally. Attach a tiny flower applique with two small leaves on the front.
Shoes Make 2
The bunny wears classic little pink shoes with a rounded toe and strap-like upper. A small bow or knot detail sits near the side or front. A cream edge peeks above the shoe like a sock. The shoes are neat and feminine, scaled carefully to the slim legs.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in pink. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: BLO sc around. (18)
- Round 5: Sc around.
- Round 6: Work a few decreases at the toe to shape the front.
Add a cream trim at the opening if desired. Create a tiny bow from thread or a short chain tied into a knot. Sew or slip the shoes onto the feet. They should cover the foot base neatly without making the bunny look heavy-footed.
Mini Berries
In front of the bunny is a tiny berry cluster in jewel tones. These details are small but important because they support the rosy berry theme. Make them simple and rounded. The stems and leaves should be tiny so the berries remain the focus.
- Blue berry: 6 sc in MR, then one round of sc. Fasten off.
- Red berry: same method in bright berry red.
- Purple berry: same method in purple.
- Leaves: chain 3 or 4 and work tiny leaf shapes in green.
Cluster the berries together loosely, not in a tight bouquet. A few small stems joined beneath them will help the set look cohesive. Keep them tiny enough to sit naturally in front of the tea tray without overpowering the miniature teaware.
Picnic Basket
The basket is small, tan, and cylindrical with a sturdy upright handle. The top is open, and a floral cloth peeks out from inside. The basket must look handwoven in spirit, so firm single crochet and a structured handle will help achieve that effect.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in tan. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Round 5: BLO sc around. (24)
- Rounds 6-11: Sc around. (24)
Fasten off. For the handle, chain enough to arch over the basket and cover with sc back along the chain for strength. Sew both ends securely to the inner sides. Add a small floral cloth by crocheting or sewing a tiny pastel square with decorative edging.
Tea Tray or Mat
The tea set in the image sits on a soft pink circular base rather than a rigid tray. This looks like a tiny mat or doily. Keep it flat and delicate. It should be large enough to hold the teapot, cup, and tiny dish without crowding.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in pink. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Optional Round 5: small scallop edge.
Mini Teapot
The teapot is white with a blue lid and a tiny berry-like accent near the top. Because it is so small, simplify the form while keeping the silhouette clear. The body should be round, the spout short, and the handle curved neatly from upper side to lower side.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in white. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4-5: Sc around. (18)
- Round 6: (Sc, dec) around. (12)
📌Thank you for reading the article
Stuff very lightly if needed or leave mostly hollow. Add a tiny blue lid with a miniature circle. Crochet a short spout and a small curved handle separately, then sew them on. Add a little colored accent for the decorative top detail.
Mini Cup and Tiny Dish
The cup is extremely small and sits beside the teapot. Make it simple, round, and white with perhaps a slight rim. A tiny dish or pastry accent in berry color can be added nearby to match the garden tea theme.
- For the cup, make 6 sc in MR, then a short wall of 6 sc around for 2 or 3 rounds.
- Add a tiny handle from a short chain.
- For the dish, make a tiny flat circle.
- Add a minuscule berry or flower detail on top if desired.
Squirrel Friend
The squirrel companion is a key supporting character in the set. It is caramel brown with a cream muzzle and belly, black eyes, a white snout area, and a blue vest. The tail is full and curves upward behind the body, helping create the woodland look.
Squirrel Head
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in caramel. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around. (24)
- Rounds 5-8: Sc around. (24)
- Round 9: (2 sc, dec) around. (18)
Insert the eyes slightly wide. Add a cream muzzle patch to the lower face and embroider a tiny nose. The squirrel face should be friendly and simple, matching the softness of the bunny rather than looking realistic or sharp-featured.
Squirrel Body
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR in caramel. (6)
- Round 2: Inc around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc, inc) around. (18)
- Rounds 4-7: Sc around. (18)
- Round 8: (Sc, dec) around. (12)
Add a cream oval belly patch to the front. The body should be compact and upright. Stuff firmly enough that it can stand. Sew the head on top with only a slight forward tilt. Keep the neck very short so the figure looks compact and cute.
Squirrel Arms, Legs, and Ears
- Arms: start with 5 or 6 sc in MR, then work several rounds even to create short tubes.
- Legs: same idea, but slightly thicker at the foot.
- Ears: tiny folded semicircles sewn to the top sides of the head.
The squirrel’s limbs are tiny and simple. Place the arms low enough to clear the vest opening. The feet should angle outward just a little, matching the toy-like pose in the image. The ears should be subtle and not taller than the head curve.
Squirrel Tail
The tail is one of the most visible squirrel details. It should be long, thick, and arched upward behind the body. Start with a narrow base and widen slightly through the middle before tapering at the tip. Light stuffing or firm shaping will help the tail hold its curve.
- Round 1: 6 sc in MR.
- Round 2: (Sc, inc) around.
- Rounds 3-8: Sc around, adding one increase round if you want more volume.
- Final rounds: taper gently with a few decreases.
Squirrel Vest
The vest is blue and sleeveless, covering the squirrel’s sides while leaving the cream belly visible down the center. This can be crocheted as a tiny flat piece and wrapped around the torso, or worked directly around the body and left open at the front.
- Use blue yarn.
- Create a narrow back panel with short side fronts.
- Leave the center front open.
- Fit the vest snugly so it does not cover the whole cream belly patch.
Assembly Order
It helps to assemble the main bunny first, then the clothing, then the accessories, and finally the squirrel. Working in this order makes it easier to keep the scale correct. The miniature props will look best when they are checked visually beside the bunny as you go.
- Sew the bunny head to the body.
- Attach legs evenly beneath the body.
- Attach arms at the sides.
- Sew on the ears.
- Dress the bunny or attach the dress.
- Add sleeves, purse, shoes, and hat.
- Make and place basket, tea set, and berries.
- Assemble the squirrel and fit the vest.

Placement Guidance for Accuracy
To match the image closely, the hat should sit low on the forehead, the purse strap should cross from shoulder to opposite hip, and the dress should spread outward in a rounded shape. The squirrel belongs beside the bunny rather than behind it, and the picnic props sit gathered at the bunny’s feet.
- Hat flower trim: one side of the brim.
- Purse: resting near hip level.
- Basket: near the bunny’s left side.
- Tea mat: in front of the bunny.
- Berries: centered low in front.
- Squirrel: on the opposite side of the basket.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Check the head angle first. A tiny forward tilt makes the bunny look sweet and calm. Confirm that both ears fall evenly and that the hat does not push them into awkward positions. Adjust the brim until the face is framed softly and the eyes remain fully visible.
Refine the face with a very small nose and short mouth line. Add only a whisper of blush if desired. Make sure the dress flowers are balanced from left to right. Position the purse so the strap lies flat, and keep the squirrel tail curved neatly behind the body.
Care Notes
- Display indoors away from strong direct sunlight.
- Handle miniature props carefully, especially the tea set and berries.
- Spot clean whenever possible rather than fully soaking.
- Keep the hat brim and dress hem properly shaped during storage.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Head centered and secure.
- Ears matched in length and placement.
- Dress flaring evenly around the body.
- Sleeves symmetrical and not oversized.
- Hat brim smooth and gently lowered.
- Purse strap fitted across the chest.
- Shoes aligned evenly.
- Basket handle secure.
- Tea pieces stable and proportional.
- Squirrel able to stand with tail support.
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
Dust the pieces gently with a soft dry brush. For small marks, use a barely damp cloth and blot instead of rubbing. Avoid hot water, harsh detergent, and twisting the shapes. Reshape the hat, sleeves, skirt hem, and tail while the fibers are only slightly damp.
Store the set in a dry box or cabinet with tissue support around delicate parts. Keep tiny accessories together in a small pouch or container so they are not lost. For long-term display, rotate position occasionally and avoid pressure on the ears, brim, and flower appliques.
