Gauge and Construction Notes

This pattern is worked tightly in continuous rounds unless noted otherwise. Use a hook small enough that stuffing does not show. The doll is built from separate pieces for the head, body, legs, arms, ears, dress layers, bonnet, flowers, and accessories.

The silhouette in the photo is very important. The head is large and round, the torso is slim, the legs are short and straight, and the skirt volume comes mainly from the layered overskirt and shaped front petals. The ears are long, soft, and lightly stuffed near the top only.

Abbreviations:

• MR = magic ring
• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• inc = 2 sc in same stitch
• dec = invisible decrease
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• BLO = back loop only
• FLO = front loop only
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• rnd = round

Main Bunny Doll

Legs Make 2

Start with cream yarn. Stuff firmly at the foot and lightly through the leg. The feet in the photo are simple rounded slippers, so the leg base should be softly oval and not overly pointed.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: sc around. (18)
5. Rnd 5: 5 sc, 4 dec, 5 sc. (14)
6. Rnd 6: 4 sc, 3 dec, 4 sc. (11)
7. Rnd 7: sc around in BLO. (11)
8. Rnd 8-16: sc around. (11 each round)

Fasten off first leg. Make second leg the same but do not fasten off. Add a little extra stuffing to the feet so the doll can stand when supported by the skirt and shoes.

Joining the Legs and Lower Body

1. Ch 4 from second leg and join to first leg.
2. Rnd 17: 11 sc around first leg, 4 sc across chain, 11 sc around second leg, 4 sc on opposite side of chain. (30)
3. Rnd 18: sc around. (30)
4. Rnd 19: (4 sc, dec) x5. (25)
5. Rnd 20: sc around. (25)
6. Rnd 21: (3 sc, dec) x5. (20)
7. Rnd 22: sc around. (20)
8. Rnd 23: (2 sc, inc) x6, 2 sc. (26)
9. Rnd 24: sc around. (26)
10. Rnd 25: (12 sc, inc) x2. (28)
11. Rnd 26-31: sc around. (28 each round)

The body should remain slim, because the dress creates the volume. Do not overstuff the waist. Keep the torso smooth and slightly column-like.

Upper Body and Neck

1. Rnd 32: (5 sc, dec) x4. (24)
2. Rnd 33: sc around. (24)
3. Rnd 34: (4 sc, dec) x4. (20)
4. Rnd 35: sc around. (20)
5. Rnd 36: (3 sc, dec) x4. (16)
6. Rnd 37-39: sc around. (16 each round)
7. Rnd 40: (sc, inc) x8. (24)

Stuff the torso firmly at the chest but keep the neck compact and straight. The doll in the image has a clean upright posture, so a firm neck is important.

Head

1. Rnd 41: (3 sc, inc) x6. (30)
2. Rnd 42: (4 sc, inc) x6. (36)
3. Rnd 43: (5 sc, inc) x6. (42)
4. Rnd 44: (6 sc, inc) x6. (48)
5. Rnd 45: (7 sc, inc) x6. (54)
6. Rnd 46-57: sc around. (54 each round)

Place safety eyes between rnds 50 and 51 with about 10 visible stitches between them. The eyes should sit slightly wide apart to keep the sweet, calm expression. Embroider long curved lashes later rather than making the eyes too large.

1. Rnd 58: (7 sc, dec) x6. (48)
2. Rnd 59: (6 sc, dec) x6. (42)
3. Rnd 60: (5 sc, dec) x6. (36)
4. Rnd 61: (4 sc, dec) x6. (30)
5. Rnd 62: (3 sc, dec) x6. (24)
6. Rnd 63: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)

Stuff firmly and evenly. The face should be rounded, with no flat areas. Continue:

1. Rnd 64: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
2. Rnd 65: dec around. (6)

Fasten off and close.

Arms Make 2

The arms are long, slim, and gently tapered. They hang low at the sides, with the left arm positioned to support the handbag.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3-4: sc around. (12 each round)
4. Rnd 5: (4 sc, dec) x2. (10)
5. Rnd 6-18: sc around. (10 each round)
6. Rnd 19: flatten opening and crochet 5 sc through both sides.

Stuff only the lower half. Leave the upper section soft for easier sewing. Fasten off with a long tail.

Ears Make 2

Use cream yarn with blush pink lining added later or crocheted separately. The ears are long and softly flattened, with gentle widening in the middle and rounded tips.

1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
2. Rnd 2: inc around. (12)
3. Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x6. (18)
4. Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x6. (24)
5. Rnd 5-8: sc around. (24 each round)
6. Rnd 9: (2 sc, dec) x6. (18)
7. Rnd 10-18: sc around. (18 each round)
8. Rnd 19: (sc, dec) x6. (12)
9. Rnd 20-26: sc around. (12 each round)

Flatten but do not fully close. Lightly stuff the top 3 inches only. Sew the ear opening closed flat. Make two pink inner ear panels:

1. Ch 10.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, sc 8, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 7, inc in last. (20)
3. Row 2: inc, 7 sc, 3 inc, 7 sc, 2 inc. (26)
4. Fasten off.

Sew each inner panel to the front of an ear, centered and slightly lower than the top. Attach ears to the head between rnds 43 and 46, leaving a slight outward drop so they hang under the bonnet brim just like the image.

Simple Neckline Base Dress

This dress has a fitted underlayer with a straight skirt and a dramatic floral overskirt. Start in Tiffany blue. The bodice is off-shoulder in appearance, but structurally it sits as a fitted dress with a decorative ruffle neckline.

Bodice Skirt Base

Work from the waist opening down so you can dress the doll after the body is finished. This piece should fit neatly around the torso.

1. Ch 28 and join without twisting.
2. Rnd 1-6: sc around. (28)
3. Rnd 7: (6 sc, inc) x4. (32)
4. Rnd 8-10: sc around. (32 each round)
5. Rnd 11: (7 sc, inc) x4. (36)
6. Rnd 12-20: sc around. (36 each round)

Fasten off. This creates the slim inner skirt seen beneath the petal overskirt.

Lower Lace Edge

Attach white or pale lilac fine yarn to the bottom edge.

1. Rnd 1: (sc, ch 2) around, sl st to join.
2. Rnd 2: in each ch-2 space work (sc, hdc, sc).

This gives the soft lace peeking out under the blue dress.

Off-Shoulder Neckline Ruffle

Attach Tiffany blue to upper edge of bodice.

1. Rnd 1: FLO only, 28 sc around.
2. Rnd 2: (inc) around. (56)
3. Rnd 3: (2 sc, inc) around. (74 approx)
4. Rnd 4: (sc, hdc, dc) in next st, sl st in next st, repeat around.

This creates the gathered collar effect around the shoulders. Keep it soft and ruffled, not stiff. The photo shows a floral border sitting over this line, so the ruffle should support that embellishment rather than overpower it.

Front Petal Overskirt

The overskirt is one of the most recognizable features. It opens at the front in multiple long scalloped panels, each decorated with flowers and leaves. Create a belt band first, then work individual petals downward.

Waist Band

1. Ch 32, join to ring.
2. Rnd 1-2: sc around. (32 each round)

Do not fasten off if you want to work petals continuously by repositioning yarn. Otherwise fasten off and rejoin for each panel.

Petal Panel Make 6

Each panel is worked in rows. The center front uses two overlapping petals, and the remaining panels wrap toward the sides and back.

1. Row 1: attach yarn to waistband over 5 stitches, sc in each of next 5 sts, ch 1, turn. (5)
2. Row 2: inc, 3 sc, inc. (7)
3. Row 3: sc across. (7)
4. Row 4: inc, 5 sc, inc. (9)
5. Row 5: sc across. (9)
6. Row 6: inc, 7 sc, inc. (11)
7. Row 7: sc across. (11)
8. Row 8: inc, 9 sc, inc. (13)
9. Row 9: sc across. (13)
10. Row 10: inc, 11 sc, inc. (15)
11. Row 11-20: sc across. (15 each row)
12. Row 21: dec, 11 sc, dec. (13)
13. Row 22: sc across. (13)
14. Row 23: dec, 9 sc, dec. (11)
15. Row 24: sc across. (11)
16. Row 25: dec, 7 sc, dec. (9)
17. Row 26: sc across. (9)
18. Row 27: dec, 5 sc, dec. (7)
19. Row 28: sc across. (7)
20. Row 29: dec, 3 sc, dec. (5)

Now work edging around the full petal:

1. Edge Round: sc evenly around the full panel, making 3 sc at the bottom tip, then work a decorative edge of (sl st, hdc, dc, hdc, sl st) every 3 stitches along the outer front edge only.

Make 6 petals. Arrange them so two center petals overlap, two side-front petals frame them, and two side petals angle outward. The back remains mostly covered by the cape layer rather than petal points.

Cape Overskirt

The outer blue layer falls like a dramatic cape from the waist and sweeps to both sides. It is fuller than the inner skirt and has floral edging around the hem. This is what gives the dress its grand silhouette.

1. Ch 56.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch from hook, sc across. (55)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, inc, 53 sc, inc. (57)
4. Row 3: sc across. (57)
5. Row 4: inc, 55 sc, inc. (59)
6. Row 5-12: repeat widening every other row until you have 67 sts.
7. Row 13-24: sc across. (67 each row)

Now soften the lower side edges so they drape downward:

1. Row 25: dec, 63 sc, dec. (65)
2. Row 26: sc across.
3. Row 27: dec, 61 sc, dec. (63)
4. Row 28: sc across.

Fasten off. Attach this layer gathered slightly at the waist so it opens at the front and sweeps back around the doll. The front edges should sit high enough to reveal the petal layers beneath.

Floral Motifs and Leaf Embellishments

The image shows many raised roses and leaves on the neckline, bodice, petal edges, bonnet, and cape hem. These motifs create the luxurious look. Make plenty and pin them in place before sewing permanently.

Small Rose Make 12 to 16

1. Ch 16.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch, 2 sc in each ch across. (30)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, (sl st, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sl st) in first 5 sts, repeat across in groups to form petals.

Roll the strip tightly from one end to the other. Sew through the base to secure.

Medium Rose Make 6 to 8

1. Ch 21.
2. Row 1: starting in second ch, (sc, hdc) alternating across with an extra hdc in the last 5 stitches.
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, (sl st, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sl st) in each 2-st group across.

Roll and sew to shape, keeping the center tight and outer petals looser.

Leaves Make 16 to 24

1. Ch 7.
2. Work along chain: sc in second ch, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, 3 sc in last ch.
3. Working opposite side: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc.
4. Sl st to first st and fasten off.

For pointed leaves, add a line of surface sl st down the center with slightly tighter tension.

Tiny Flower Rosettes Make 10

10. Rnd 26: sc around. (84)

For a more sculpted brim, add thin millinery wire around the final round, covering it with one more round of sc. Fasten off neatly.

Sew a thin blue ribbon at one side or thread it through subtle stitches near the flower cluster. The ribbon should hang softly, not wrap fully under the chin.

Bonnet Flower Cluster

Make one medium rose, two small roses, one tiny rosette, and three to five leaves. Sew them to the left side of the bonnet brim and lower crown seam. Arrange the largest blue rose at center, smaller blue rosettes nearby, and a pale lavender accent if desired.

Decorative Placement Guide

Before sewing everything permanently, dress the doll and arrange the decorations exactly. This stage matters just as much as the crochet itself.

• Neckline: place a row of tiny roses and rosettes across the front ruffle, from shoulder to shoulder
• Bodice front: add one medium rose slightly off-center with leaf pairs branching downward
• Petal overskirt: sew small roses along the edges and lower points
• Cape hem: place a floral trail near both lower corners and one cluster near the left front edge
• Bonnet: create an asymmetrical flower cluster on the left side
• Handbag: add one small rose

The floral arrangement in the photo is balanced but not perfectly symmetrical. Aim for a natural garden composition rather than mirrored placement.

Assembly Order

1. Sew arms to the body at shoulder level, angled slightly downward.
2. Sew ears to head so they fall below the bonnet brim.
3. Embroider pink triangular nose between eyes, low on the face.
4. Embroider a short vertical line beneath the nose.
5. Add curved black eyelashes extending outward from the eyes.
6. Dress the bunny in the fitted underdress.
7. Sew the petal overskirt at the waist.
8. Attach the cape overskirt over the waistband, leaving the front open.
9. Sew shoes in place if desired.
10. Place bonnet on head and tack with a few hidden stitches.
11. Sew handbag to one hand or arm so it hangs naturally.
12. Arrange miniature props beside the doll for display.

Styling Tips for an Accurate Look

The beauty of this design comes from softness, layering, and proportion. Keep the head smooth and round, the body narrow, and the skirt wide. The bonnet must be broad enough to frame the face. The ears should remain visible under the brim and not disappear behind the hat.

The blue shade should stay pale and elegant, not bright aqua. The leaves should be muted sage. The flowers should sit low and dimensional, with rolled centers rather than flat appliqué. If you add pearl beads, keep them tiny and sparse so the piece remains delicate.

The miniature hedgehog should be clearly smaller than the bunny and should look like a companion, not a second main character. Its hat and overalls should echo the bunny’s color palette without matching exactly.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Use pins before sewing every decorative piece. The face should stay minimal: black eyes, long stitched lashes, a tiny pink nose, and a short center mouth line. Add a very light blush to the cheeks only after all sewing is finished. Keep the bonnet slightly tilted for the same graceful look shown in the image.

Care Notes

Display this piece away from direct sunlight and humidity. If it is for decoration, avoid frequent handling of the floral appliqués and bonnet brim. Lift the doll from the torso, not from the hat, ears, or handbag strap.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is firmly stuffed and centered
• Ears are even and softly hanging
• Dress fits close at the body but full at the skirt
• Petal panels overlap neatly in front
• Bonnet brim curves smoothly
• Flowers and leaves are balanced across the outfit
• Mini props match the scale of the doll

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust gently with a soft dry brush. Spot clean only with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Do not soak, wring, or machine wash. Dry flat on a towel and reshape the bonnet brim, petals, and flowers while damp. Store in a breathable box with tissue support around the hat and skirt.
