General Notes

• Work in continuous rounds unless a row is specified.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
• Stuff the head firmly, the body moderately, and the limbs lightly to medium.
• For clean shaping, use invisible decreases.
• Many accessories are sewn on after the main doll is assembled.

The Bunny Head

The head in the photo is large, softly rounded, and slightly wider than the upper body. Keep the stuffing firm so the face stays smooth and full.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)

9. R9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. R10: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
11. R11: (9 sc, inc) x 6. (66)
12. R12-R23: sc around. (66) for 12 rounds

23. R32: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)
24. R33: dec x 6. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Face Shaping

Embroider a small vertical nose bridge centered between the eyes, beginning about 2 rounds below the eye line. Add a tiny triangular nose in pale blush, then a short straight line downward for the mouth split. The face in the image is minimal and calm, so do not add a wide smile.

The Bunny Muzzle Indent

This is optional but helps achieve the soft center-face contour visible in the photo.

• Thread a long strand of cream yarn.
• Enter at the base of the head and exit below one eye.
• Pass across to the matching point below the other eye.
• Return to the base of the head.
• Pull very gently to create a mild inward shape.

The Bunny Ears Make 2

The ears are long, narrow at the top, softly widened through the middle, and relaxed downward. They are not heavily stuffed.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4-R7: sc around. (18) for 4 rounds
5. R8: (7 sc, inc, 8 sc, inc) for a gentle side widening. (20)
6. R9-R16: sc around. (20) for 8 rounds
7. R17: (8 sc, dec) x 2. (18)
8. R18-R22: sc around. (18) for 5 rounds
9. R23: (7 sc, dec) x 2. (16)
10. R24-R27: sc around. (16) for 4 rounds
11. Flatten the ear opening and crochet 8 sc through both layers.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Do not stuff. Gently massage the ear flat. Sew the ears to the sides of the head around R8 to R10, spaced so they fall just outside the face. Angle them slightly forward so they frame the cheeks under the hat.

The Bunny Body

The body is short and hidden beneath the dress. It should be smaller than the head and slightly tapered toward the neck.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. R6-R10: sc around. (30) for 5 rounds
7. R11: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
8. R12-R14: sc around. (24) for 3 rounds
9. R15: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
10. R16-R18: sc around. (18) for 3 rounds

Stuff lightly to medium.

1. R19: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)
2. R20-R21: sc around. (12)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Sew the body centered beneath the head.

The Bunny Arms Make 2

The arms are short, tube-like, and lightly curved inward.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3-R5: sc around. (12) for 3 rounds
4. R6: (4 sc, dec) x 2. (10)
5. R7-R14: sc around. (10) for 8 rounds
6. Flatten top and crochet 5 sc through both layers.

Stuff only the lower half lightly. Fasten off with a long tail.

Sew the arms to the upper body just below the head. Angle them slightly down and forward.

The Bunny Legs Make 2

The visible feet in the image are small and rounded, with a separate shoe color transition. The legs are slim and straight.

Foot in Cream

1. R1: ch 6. Starting in second ch from hook: 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side: 3 sc, inc in last ch. (12)
2. R2: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc. (18)
3. R3: sc around. (18)
4. R4: BLO sc around. (18)
5. R5: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)

Shoe Section in Beige

1. R6: change to beige, sc around. (14)
2. R7: 4 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 4 sc. (12)
3. R8-R9: sc around. (12) for 2 rounds
4. R10-R18: switch to cream if desired for leg, sc around. (12) for 9 rounds

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg lightly to medium. Fasten off first leg.

Make second leg the same but do not fasten off. Join legs with 3 ch if you want a stable standing base under the dress, or sew them separately to the underside of the body. In this design, sewing them separately helps match the narrow stance shown in the image.

Sew both legs under the body so the feet point forward and stand very close together.

Bunny Shoes Strap Detail

To mimic the little shoe opening seen in the photo:

• With cream yarn, embroider a small oval or U-shape on the front top of each shoe.
• With beige yarn, add one short horizontal stitch across the top edge if you want a mary-jane look.

The Bunny Dress

The dress has a fitted upper section and a pleated skirt. The top edge sits around the chest, while the flower garland covers the neckline. The skirt is textured with vertical columns and soft blush-lilac accents.

Upper Dress Bodice

Work from top down in joined rounds. Make sure it fits snugly around the bunny body.

1. Ch 26, join carefully without twisting.
2. R1: ch 1, sc in each ch around, join. (26)
3. R2: ch 1, BLO sc around, join. (26)
4. R3: ch 1, sc around, join. (26)
5. R4: ch 1, (12 sc, inc) x 2, join. (28)
6. R5: ch 1, sc around, join. (28)

📌Thank you for reading the article

Fasten off if you want to add shoulder shaping later, or continue directly into the skirt.

Pleated Skirt Foundation

The skirt in the image is structured, with visible vertical ridges and deep folds. The easiest way to recreate this look is to combine front-post style texture using stitch placement and BLO/FLO changes.

1. R6: ch 2, in FLO only work (dc, ch 1) around, join. (28 dc, 28 ch-1 spaces)
2. R7: ch 1, in each dc work 1 sc and in each ch-1 space work 1 sc. Join. (56)
3. R8: ch 1, BLO sc around. Join. (56)

Pleat Texture Rows

Use this repeat for the visual pleated effect.

• Texture Round A: ch 1, (3 sc, 1 hdc in next st BLO, 3 sc, 1 hdc in next st BLO) rep around, join.
• Texture Round B: ch 1, sc around, join.

Work as follows:

1. R9: Texture Round A. (56)
2. R10: Texture Round B. (56)
3. R11: Texture Round A. (56)
4. R12: Texture Round B. (56)
5. R13: Texture Round A. (56)
6. R14: Texture Round B. (56)
7. R15: Texture Round A. (56)

For the visible length in the image, stop here or add one more plain round if your tension runs tight.

Hem Edge

1. R16: ch 1, (6 sc, inc) x 8, join. (64)
2. R17: ch 1, reverse sc around or regular sc around for a neat edge. (64)

Fasten off.

Vertical Pink Accent Lines

Using dusty mauve or blush-lilac yarn, surface slip stitch along 4 to 6 evenly spaced skirt columns from waist to hem. In the photo, these accents are soft and subtle, not bold stripes.

Keep each line slightly wavy or gently centered in a fold so the effect looks embroidered rather than graphic.

Bunny Dress Neckline Flower Garland

This floral arrangement is essential to the look. It runs in a loose curved line across the upper chest, with vines falling downward on the skirt.

Small Five-Petal Flower Make 8 to 10

1. With lavender or purple yarn, MR.
2. Into MR work: (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) x 5.
3. Pull ring closed and fasten off.

You may substitute smaller petals for some flowers:

1. MR.
2. (ch 1, hdc, ch 1, sl st) x 5.
3. Fasten off.

Tiny Star Flower Centers

With pale yarn, stitch a tiny center using 2 to 3 straight stitches crossing over one another.

Leaves Make Many

1. Ch 5.
2. Starting in second ch from hook: sl st, sc, hdc, sl st.
3. Fasten off.

Vines

• Chain 10 to 18 in green yarn.
• Work sl st back along the chain for a firmer vine, or leave as a plain chain for a softer drape.

Arrange and Attach

Place larger flowers across the chest first. Overlap slightly so they form a lush collar. Add smaller blossoms between them.

Then add vine strands dropping from the neckline down the front of the skirt. Sew leaves at intervals along the vines. Attach a few tiny bud shapes using short chains and one French-knot style wrap or a small embroidered puff at each tip.

Do not overfill the dress front. The image shows balanced decoration with visible cream dress still showing underneath.

Flower Placement Guide

To make the finished pieces look close to the image, placement matters as much as stitch count.

• Bunny neckline: use 6 to 8 visible flowers in a shallow curved necklace arrangement.
• Bunny skirt front: add 3 to 4 hanging vine lines with scattered leaves and buds.
• Mouse neckline: use 3 to 4 flowers across the upper chest.
• Bags: add 1 flower each.
• Hat band area: optional tiny flower accent on the mouse hat only, or keep bunny hat plain as pictured.

Order of Construction

1. Make bunny head, ears, body, arms, legs.
2. Assemble bunny basic shape.
3. Make bunny dress and put onto body.
4. Make bunny hat.
5. Make bunny bag, bouquet, and book.
6. Make mouse head, ears, body, arms, legs.
7. Assemble mouse.
8. Make mouse dress and hat.
9. Make mouse bag.
10. Add all flowers, vines, facial embroidery, and final arrangement.

Assembly Notes for Accurate Proportions

Keep the bunny head oversized compared to the body. That proportion is one of the main visual features.

Do not make the body too long. The dress should begin close beneath the head and visually dominate the figure.

The ears should hang nearly to the waistline once sewn and draped.

The arms should end above mid-skirt level.

The legs should be narrow and fairly close together, with small outward-visible shoes.

The mouse should look like a coordinated companion rather than a realistic mouse, so use the same yarn family and flower colors.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the bunny head to the body first, then attach the arms and legs so the proportions stay centered. Position the ears just outside the face and let them fall naturally.

Embroider the nose in a soft blush triangle or tiny satin-stitch wedge. Add one short vertical line below it. Keep the eyes glossy black and simple without eyelashes.

Dress the bunny before sewing on the flower garland if you want easier placement. The hat should rest low over the forehead without hiding the eyes.

For the mouse, keep the same gentle face style. Smaller, simpler details usually look more accurate at miniature scale.

Care Notes

• Display pieces are best kept away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Spot clean whenever possible.
• If using safety eyes, always check they are secure before gifting.
• Tiny accessories are decorative and not ideal for very young children.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Are the bunny ears even and symmetrically placed?
• Is the dress centered and snug around the body?
• Do the flower colors look balanced across the chest?
• Are the legs aligned so the doll stands or sits neatly?
• Is the hat depth correct and not covering the eyes?
• Do the mouse accessories visually match the bunny set?

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a barely damp cloth and mild soap for small marks. Blot gently rather than rubbing the stitches. Reshape the hat brim, ears, and skirt pleats while the yarn is still slightly damp.

For long-term storage, wrap each piece in acid-free tissue and place it in a breathable box. Avoid sealed plastic in humid climates. Store the bouquet separately so the petals do not crush against the dolls.

If the flowers flatten over time, lightly steam from a distance without soaking the yarn, then reshape each petal with your fingers once cool enough to handle safely.
