Cotton Candy Bunny – Crochet

This charming amigurumi set brings together a pastel bunny doll, a sweet layered dress, a brimmed hat, a tiny crossbody purse, soft sneakers, a miniature yarn basket, a teacup with saucer, and a small cat companion. It is designed for makers who love collectible handmade dolls, nursery décor, gift ideas, and boutique-style amigurumi sets.

The palette of blush pink, baby blue, white, cream, and soft tan gives this set a delicate handmade toy look that fits spring displays, baby shower gifts, and artisan doll collections. If you enjoy searching for amigurumi doll outfit sets, crochet bunny plush, or handmade stuffed animal gift ideas, this design offers a beautiful project to make and treasure.

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 features one main bunny with long floppy ears, a rounded head, a compact pear-shaped body, short legs, gently tapered arms, and a fully coordinated outfit. The clothing is built to match the image closely, with a white bodice, layered pink-and-blue ruffle skirt, white apron-style overskirt, neck bow, and miniature purse.

The set also includes the small accessories shown beside the doll. These details matter because they create the full scene: a tiny basket holding pastel yarn balls, a small cup and saucer, and a little cat doll wearing a blue dress and matching hat. Each piece is written separately so the finished display stays faithful to the image.

Finished Size

• Main bunny: about 11 to 12 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including hat brim
• Hat adds about 1 inch in height
• Cat companion: about 4 to 5 inches tall
• Basket: about 1.75 inches wide
• Teacup with saucer: about 1.25 inches across at saucer
• Purse: about 1.5 inches wide

These measurements assume worsted or light DK yarn worked tightly with a smaller hook than usual for amigurumi. Adjusting yarn weight changes the size, but the relative proportions should stay the same.

Materials

• Cream yarn for bunny head, body, arms, legs, and ears
• White yarn for dress bodice, apron overskirt, collar, cup details, and cat muzzle area if desired
• Blush pink yarn for hat crown, skirt layer, purse body, nose accents, shoe trim, and soft blush details
• Baby blue yarn for hat band and brim edging, bow, skirt layer, purse flap, shoe body, cat dress, and cat hat
• Tan or light brown yarn for basket and cat ear patches
• Small amount of yellow yarn for flower centers on shoes
• Black safety eyes for bunny and cat
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Crochet hook suited for tight stitches
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Optional craft blush or pastel pink yarn for cheek shading
• Thin plastic canvas or cardstock insert for hat brim and saucer support if you want extra firmness

Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• inc = 2 sc in the same stitch
• dec = invisible decrease
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• BLO = back loop only
• FLO = front loop only
• st = stitch
• sts = stitches

General Notes

• Work in continuous rounds unless a row section says otherwise.
• Use tight tension so stuffing does not show.
• Stuff as you go, especially in the head, body, and limbs.
• The image shows a smooth, neat fabric, so keep decreases invisible and joins as discreet as possible.
• The outfit is important to the identity of the piece. Keep the layers soft, rounded, and symmetrical.
• For the best likeness, place the facial features low on the head, leaving a generous forehead under the hat.

Main Bunny

Head

The bunny has a large, nearly spherical head with a soft, gentle front profile. The face is broad rather than narrow, with the eyes set moderately wide apart and slightly below the center line. This helps create the sweet childlike expression shown in the image.

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 16: sc around. (48)
10. Round 17: 6 sc, dec rep around. (42)
11. Round 18: 5 sc, dec rep around. (36)
12. Insert eyes between Rounds 11 and 12, spacing them about 9 to 10 stitches apart.
13. Round 19: 4 sc, dec rep around. (30)
14. Stuff firmly and shape the cheeks evenly.
15. Round 20: 3 sc, dec rep around. (24)
16. Round 21: 2 sc, dec rep around. (18)
17. Round 22: sc, dec rep around. (12)
18. Round 23: dec around. (6)
19. Fasten off and close.

Do not overstuff the very front of the face. The head should remain round, but the lower front should allow room for a small embroidered nose and a short vertical mouth line. This slight softness makes the expression gentler.

Muzzle Shaping and Face Placement

The face in the image is minimal and very clean. The nose is tiny, pink, and centered low between the eyes. The mouth is a short line descending from the nose with a tiny split or soft suggestion of two sides.

• Embroider the nose with pink yarn over 2 stitches wide.
• Place the top of the nose around the level of Round 13 or 14.
• Add a short vertical line downward in cream or a slightly darker neutral.
• Embroider slim curved brows above the eyes in dark brown or black.
• Add blush on both cheeks, placed low and wide.

Ears Make 2

The ears are long, soft, and floppy, falling straight down beside the face. They are medium width at the base and slightly narrower toward the rounded tip. They should hang to about the waist area when attached.

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 8: sc around. (18)
5. Round 9: 7 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec. (16)
6. Rounds 10 to 14: sc around. (16)
7. Round 15: 6 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec. (14)
8. Rounds 16 to 22: sc around. (14)
9. Flatten lightly without stuffing.
10. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Lightly steam or finger-shape the ears if needed. They should not stick outward too much. In the image they drape naturally from under the hat and frame the face softly.

Body

The body is smaller than the head and slightly pear-shaped. The upper torso is narrow under the collar, while the lower body widens to support the layered skirt. Because much of the body is covered, focus on a firm center core that can hold the dress neatly.

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. Rounds 5 to 7: sc around. (24)
6. Round 8: 3 sc, inc rep around. (30)
7. Rounds 9 to 12: sc around. (30)
8. Round 13: 3 sc, dec rep around. (24)
9. Rounds 14 to 15: sc around. (24)
10. Round 16: 2 sc, dec rep around. (18)
11. Stuff firmly.
12. Round 17: sc around. (18)
13. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing to head.

Legs Make 2

The legs are short and straight, emerging beneath the skirt. They should look balanced and sturdy, with only a little visible length above the socks and shoes. Make them simple and slightly tapered toward the ankle.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3 to 8: sc around. (12)
4. Stuff lightly.
5. Fasten off first leg.
6. Make second leg the same, but do not fasten off.
7. Join legs with 3 ch and continue around both legs and chains. (30 approximately, depending on join method)
8. Work one round to stabilize the join.
9. Fasten off, leaving a tail if you prefer to sew legs to lower body rather than continuing upward.

You may either sew the legs individually to the underside of the body or build them directly into the lower torso. For the image match, make sure the feet point straight forward so the sneakers sit evenly.

Arms Make 2

The arms are slim, softly stuffed, and hang slightly away from the body. They angle downward rather than extending straight out. Keep them smooth and neat because they remain visible outside the dress and sleeves.

1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rounds 3 to 5: sc around. (12)
4. Round 6: 4 sc, dec rep around. (10)
5. Rounds 7 to 13: sc around. (10)
6. Stuff lightly in lower half only.
7. Flatten opening and sc through both sides for 5 sts, or leave open for sewing.
8. Fasten off with a long tail.

Bunny Dress

Dress Bodice

The bodice is white and fitted, with a smooth clean center and decorative ruffled collar area. It sits high on the torso and supports the layered skirt. The effect is sweet and polished, like a tiny boutique dress.

1. With white yarn, ch a ring that fits snugly around the upper torso, or begin from the waist and work upward if preferred.
2. Work even rounds of sc or hdc for a smooth bodice section about 5 to 6 rounds tall.
3. Shape gently at the top if needed by a few decreases so the neckline sits close to the body.
4. Fasten off.

If you prefer a removable outfit, work the bodice in turned rows with a back opening and tiny closure. If you want the cleanest finish, crochet it directly onto the body and sew the back seam closed after dressing the doll.

Puff Sleeve Edges Make 2

The sleeves appear as pink shoulder caps edged in blue scallops. They are small but visually important because they tie the color story together between the hat, bow, skirt, and shoes.

1. With pink yarn, ch 10.
2. Row 1: sc across. (9)
3. Row 2: turn, sc across in BLO for a slight curve effect.
4. Switch to blue.
5. Work a scallop edge along one long side using sl st, hdc, dc, hdc, sl st repeated to create soft rounded waves.
6. Fasten off with a long tail.

Sew each sleeve cap just over the top of the arm attachment area so only the pink body and blue ruffle are visible from the front.

Collar Ruffles Make 2

The collar consists of two white ruffled panels, one on each side of the neck opening. They stand slightly upward and outward, framing the central bow. Keep these soft and frilly, not stiff.

1. With white yarn, ch 12.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, 2 sc in each ch across for a dense ruffle.
3. Row 2: turn, alternate sc and inc across to deepen the frill.
4. Fasten off.

Sew one ruffle on each side of the neckline so they curve inward toward the center chest. Leave room between them for the bow and paw medallion.

Base Skirt

The skirt is full and flared, with layered decorative bands. The bottom view in the image shows a blue ruffle peeking from under a pink ruffle, while a white overskirt with scalloped edge sits above them. This layered look is the heart of the outfit.

1. With white yarn attached at waist, work one round of inc evenly around to create flare.
2. Continue 3 to 4 rounds of hdc or dc, increasing lightly each round until the skirt spreads outward over the hips.
3. Do not make the base skirt too long, because the layered trims add extra length.

Lower Blue Ruffle

1. Join blue yarn to the lower edge or to a reserved front loop one round above the hem.
2. Work 5 dc in every second stitch, anchoring each shell with a sl st or sc in the next stitch.
3. Continue around to form large rounded scallops.
4. Fasten off.

This blue layer should extend slightly below the pink layer in some places, just as in the image. Finger-shape each shell so the waves look soft and even.

Pink Ruffle Layer

1. Join pink yarn to the round above the blue ruffle, preferably in a FLO round left specifically for layering.
2. Work shell stitches similar to the blue round, but make them slightly fuller so this layer reads as the main colored band.
3. Fasten off and smooth the ruffle downward.

White Apron Overskirt

The white top layer resembles a tiny apron or pinafore skirt panel. It is short, scalloped, and sits over the colored ruffles. It should not hide the pink and blue bands completely.

1. With white yarn, ch enough to go around the waist front and sides, leaving the back mostly covered according to your preferred construction.
2. Work 3 to 4 rows of dc or hdc to create a short overskirt.
3. On the final row, create rounded scallops using 5 dc shells separated by sl st or sc anchors.
4. Fasten off.

Sew the overskirt so it sits slightly above center on the waistline, with the scalloped edge resting over the pink layer. The image shows the white layer centered and neat rather than messy or heavily gathered.

Neck Bow with Paw Center

The bow is baby blue and placed at the center chest. The middle medallion is pink and shaped like a tiny paw pad. This is a signature detail, so take time to place it symmetrically.

Bow

1. With blue yarn, ch 9.
2. Row 1: sc across. (8)
3. Rows 2 to 4: sc across.
4. Fasten off, leaving a tail.
5. Wrap the center tightly with blue yarn or a few stitches to form two bow loops.

Paw Center

1. With pink yarn, make a tiny oval or circle: 6 sc in MR, then a small increase round if needed.
2. Embroider or crochet tiny toe pads above the main pad using small knots or short satin stitches.
3. Sew the paw piece onto the center of the blue bow.

Attach the finished bow between the white collar ruffles. It should sit just below the chin and above the top of the bodice.

Crossbody Purse

The purse is round and soft pink with a blue flap and a tiny pale button or flower-like closure. It hangs at the bunny’s right side on a thin pink strap crossing the chest diagonally.

Purse Body

1. With pink yarn, 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Round 2: inc around. (12)
3. Round 3: sc, inc rep around. (18)
4. Round 4: sc around in BLO to form sides.
5. Rounds 5 to 6: sc around. (18)
6. Flatten slightly and close top with a few stitches, or make two circles and join them for a flatter purse.

Purse Flap

1. With blue yarn, ch 8.
2. Work 2 to 3 rows of sc or hdc.
3. Round the lower corners with one extra stitch at each edge.
4. Sew flap to the back top of the purse.

Closure and Strap

• Add a tiny pale pink circle, flower, or button-like knot to the flap front.
• Make a long pink chain or Romanian cord strap.
• Cross it from the left shoulder to the right hip.
• Sew lightly in place so it stays neat under the bow and over the bodice.

Bunny Hat

The hat has a rounded pink crown, a blue band, and a gently flared brim edged in blue. A small blue side embellishment decorates one side. The hat sits low enough to frame the forehead while still allowing the ears to drape beneath it.

Hat Band and Side Accent

• Add a blue band around the lower pink crown where it meets the brim.
• Make a tiny blue folded tab, flower, or bow accent for one side.
• Sew the accent just above the brim, slightly off center.

If needed, lightly line the brim with a thin flexible insert. The brim in the image curves gently downward and outward, not stiffly flat.

Sneakers Make 2

The shoes are blue-and-white sneakers with white toe caps, white laces, and tiny side daisies with yellow centers. They are a standout feature and should look rounded, playful, and slightly oversized compared with the legs.

1. With white yarn, ch 7.
2. Work around both sides of the chain in oval form, increasing at both ends until the sole fits the foot width.
3. Make 2 identical soles.

• For each, work 6 sc in MR, then one small increase round, then one even round, then decrease to close.
• Wrap the outside lightly with a strand to mimic wound yarn.

Mini Teacup and Saucer

The cup and saucer are pale blue with delicate white and pink accents. They are tiny but visible in the image, so keep their shapes simple and clean.

Mini Cat Companion

The small cat has a cream face and body accents, tan patches on the ears and sides of the head, a blue dress, and a matching blue hat. Its scale should be much smaller than the bunny, but it should still look fully finished and expressive.

Cat Head

• Keep the arms slender and short.
• Keep the legs stubby so only the lower portions show beneath the dress.
• Sew them symmetrically.

Cat Dress

The cat’s dress is a simple blue one-piece shape with a gently flared skirt. It covers the body and gives the little companion a matching storybook look beside the bunny.

1. With blue yarn, make a small bodice tube fitted to the cat torso.
2. Increase slightly at the waist.
3. Work 2 to 3 rounds of dc or hdc for the skirt.

The cat hat should sit low and compact, smaller in proportion than the bunny hat, but clearly related by color and shape.

Assembly Order

3. Attach arms at the upper sides of the body, angled slightly downward.
4. Sew ears to the head so they fall from beneath the hat line.
5. Dress the bunny with bodice, sleeves, skirt layers, and apron overskirt.
6. Add collar ruffles, bow, purse strap, and purse.
7. Fit and sew or lightly tack the hat in place.

• Dress bodice and apron overskirt: white
• Shoulder sleeve sections: pink with blue edging
• Lower skirt layers: pink and blue
• Bow: blue with pink paw center
• Hat: pink crown, blue band and brim trim
• Purse: pink body with blue flap
• Shoes: blue body, white toe and laces, white daisy petals, yellow centers
• Basket: tan
• Cup and saucer: pale blue with delicate trim

Tips for Keeping the Set True to the Image

• Keep the head large in proportion to the body.
• Place the eyes low enough for a sweet youthful expression.
• Do not make the ears too narrow.
• Keep the dress layers soft and rounded rather than stiff.
• The apron overskirt should be shorter than the colored ruffles.
• The purse should rest at one side, not centered.
• The hat must frame the face without covering the eyes.
• The sneakers should feel slightly oversized and cute.
• The cat should be small enough to read as a companion accessory.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the bunny from the front before fixing the hat permanently. The face should look centered, the ears should fall evenly, and the bow should sit exactly between the collar ruffles. Add a tiny amount of blush only after all pieces are attached so the expression stays balanced.

For the cat, keep the facial embroidery minimal. A tiny pink nose and small black eyes are enough. Position the basket, cup, and saucer close to the bunny’s feet, with the cat on the opposite side, so the final arrangement echoes the image clearly.

Care Notes

• Display indoors away from direct sunlight.
• Spot clean whenever possible.
• Avoid pulling on the purse strap, hat brim, or tiny accessories.
• If giving to a child, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes.
• Keep very small pieces attached or stored safely if the set is decorative.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head firmly stuffed and centered
• Ears even in length and placement
• Eyes level and symmetrical
• Dress layers visible in white, pink, and blue
• Bow centered with pink paw detail
• Purse strap crossing the chest diagonally
• Hat brim smooth and balanced
• Sneakers matched and facing forward
• Basket filled with mini yarn balls

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a soft dry brush or clean makeup brush to remove dust from the stitches, ruffles, and hat brim. For light marks, dab carefully with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, then blot with a towel. Do not soak pieces that contain stuffing unless absolutely necessary.

If a full wash is needed, hand wash gently in cool water, reshape immediately, and let the items air dry on a towel. Support the hat brim, skirt ruffles, and purse flap while drying. Store the set flat or upright in a dust-free container to protect color, shape, and stitched details.
