Crochet Tutorial: Bunny Sitting on the Moon – Free Crochet Pattern

This sweet crochet display features a tiny blush-pink bunny sitting on a golden crescent moon, surrounded by white roses, yellow star charms, curling green vines, leafy stems, flower buds, and a soft puffy cloud base. The finished piece is designed as a standing nursery-style diorama with a dreamy handmade look, using tight amigurumi stitches, gentle shaping, and decorative surface details.

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

Finished Size

Using worsted weight yarn and a 3.0 mm hook, the finished display measures about 12 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. The bunny measures about 3 inches tall when seated. The crescent moon is thick, softly curved, and about 7 inches from top tip to lower tip after bending.

Skill Level

This pattern is best for confident beginners who already know how to crochet in continuous rounds, increase, decrease, sew small parts together, and stuff amigurumi firmly. The flower stems use wire, so this project is recommended as a decorative display piece rather than a toy for babies or very young children.

Materials

• Worsted weight yarn in golden yellow for the moon and stars.
• Worsted weight yarn in blush pink for the bunny.
• Worsted weight yarn in white for roses and cloud puffs.
• Small amount of pale yellow yarn for rose centers.
• Worsted weight yarn in sage green for vines, leaves, sepals, and stems.
• 3.0 mm crochet hook for tight amigurumi stitches.
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing.
• Two 14 inch pieces of 18 gauge floral wire for the moon support.
• Several 10 to 18 inch pieces of 22 gauge floral wire for the vines and flower stems.
• 6 mm black safety eyes for the bunny, or black embroidery yarn.
• Yarn needle, stitch marker, scissors, sewing pins, and optional craft glue.
• Small amount of white yarn scraps for moon speckles.

US Crochet Abbreviations

• st = stitch
• rnd = round

Gauge and Important Notes

For this design, tight stitches are more important than exact gauge. The stitches should be firm enough that stuffing does not show through. If your stitches are loose, use a smaller hook. If your moon feels too stiff to bend, reduce the amount of stuffing slightly near the inner curve.

Work all amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless the pattern says otherwise. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. Stuff each part as you go, especially the moon and cloud puffs, because the shape depends on firm and even stuffing.

Wire safety note: Wrap wire tips with tape or fold the ends into tiny loops before inserting them into crochet pieces. This keeps the wire from poking through the yarn. Because wire is used, this finished item should be displayed on a shelf, table, or nursery dresser, not used as a sleeping toy.

Crescent Moon

The moon is worked as one long tapered tube. It begins at the upper tip, grows wide through the center, then tapers down to the lower tip. The curve is created with internal wire, firm stuffing, and gentle bending after the piece is closed.

Moon Body

Use golden yellow yarn.

Fasten off, leaving a 10 inch tail. Before closing the final hole, insert two wrapped 18 gauge wires into the moon from tip to tip. The wires should sit along the outer curve area. Add stuffing around the wires so the moon remains round and thick. Close the hole with the yarn tail.

Bend the moon into a crescent shape. The upper tip should curve slightly inward and point to the right. The lower tip should lift forward and point upward, making a small seat where the bunny will sit. The widest part of the moon should remain full and rounded, not flat.

Moon Inner Green Vine Trim

Use sage green yarn.

1. Ch 92.
2. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sl st in each ch across. 91 sl sts.
3. Fasten off with long tails for sewing.

Pin this green cord along the inner curve of the moon from the upper inside tip down to the lower inside tip. Sew it in place with small hidden stitches. Let the cord follow the exact inner crescent line, because this green edge gives the moon the wrapped garden look shown in the image.

Wrapped Vine Across the Moon

Make one longer vine cord in sage green.

1. Ch 120.
2. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. 119 sc.
3. Fasten off, leaving long tails.

Wrap this cord diagonally around the moon. Start near the upper right side, cross over the front of the moon, pass behind the middle, then bring it forward near the lower right side. Sew the vine down in several hidden spots so it looks naturally wrapped but does not slide.

Moon Leaves

Make 7 medium leaves and 5 small leaves in sage green. These leaves sit along the moon vine and around the flower stems.

Medium Leaf

1. Ch 9.
2. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc, hdc, dc, dc, dc, hdc, sc.
3. Work 3 sc in the last ch to turn around the tip.
4. On the opposite side of the chain, sc, hdc, dc, dc, dc, hdc, sc.
5. Sl st into the first sc. Fasten off, leaving a 10 inch sewing tail.

Small Leaf

1. Ch 7.
2. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc.
3. Work 3 sc in the last ch to turn around the tip.
4. On the opposite side, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc.
5. Sl st into the first sc. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Sew 3 medium leaves on the front vine across the moon, with one near the top, one near the center, and one near the bunny’s left side. Add 2 small leaves near the upper tip. Keep the leaves slightly cupped by sewing only through their center line.

White Puffy Cloud Base

The base is made from several round white cloud puffs sewn tightly together. This creates the scalloped, soft cloud shape under the moon. Use white yarn and stuff each puff firmly.

Bunny Face Details

With pale pink or slightly darker pink yarn, embroider a tiny vertical nose between the eyes, one round below the eye line. Make one small stitch downward from the nose for the mouth. Keep the face simple and sweet, matching the clean expression in the image.

Sew the head to the body. Sew the arms on each side of the upper body, angled slightly downward. Sew the legs to the lower front of the body so the bunny looks seated. Attach the tail to the back of the body if it will still be visible after placement on the moon.

Yellow Stars

Make 6 small stars in golden yellow. Use 2 on the moon, 2 on the cloud base, and 2 hanging from the upper vine.

Small Star Applique

1. Make a MR.
2. Repeat this sequence 5 times into the ring: ch 4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, sl st into the ring.
3. Pull the magic ring tight to form a 5 point star.
4. Sl st into the base of the first point.
5. Fasten off, leaving a long sewing tail.

Block the points gently with your fingers. Sew one star to the middle-left of the moon, one lower on the moon, one to the front-center cloud puff, and one to the right cloud puff. Save two stars for the hanging decorations.

White Moon Speckles

Use white yarn scraps. Embroider 8 tiny seed stitches on the moon. Place them irregularly, mostly on the front surface. Make each speck only one or two stitches wide. Do not overfill the moon; the white details should look like small soft highlights.

Open White Roses

Make 4 open roses. The image shows full white flowers with pale yellow centers and layered petals. These roses are placed at the top center, left side, lower left side, and near the front cloud area.

Yellow Rose Center: Make 4

Use pale yellow yarn.

1. Ch 8.
2. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, work 2 sc in each ch across. 14 sc.
3. Fasten off, leaving a 10 inch tail.
4. Roll the strip into a small spiral center and sew through the base to secure.

White Petal Strip: Make 4

Use white yarn.

1. Ch 41.
2. Row 1: Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. 40 sc.
3. Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Sl st in first st, 5 dc in next st, sl st in next st, repeat from this point across until you have 13 rounded petals. If 1 st remains, sl st in it.
4. Fasten off, leaving a long sewing tail.

Place the yellow spiral center at one end of the white petal strip. Roll the white strip around the yellow center, keeping the lower edge even. Sew through the bottom layers several times. Open the petals gently with your fingers so the rose becomes round and full.

Green Sepal Cup for Open Rose: Make 4

1. Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc into ring. 6 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: Work in FLO only: repeat ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sl st in next front loop. Repeat 6 times to make 6 pointed sepals.
4. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Sew one green sepal cup under each rose. The sepal points should peek around the white petals, just like the flower bases in the image.

White Flower Buds

Make 4 small buds. The buds are rounded white tips held inside green sepals. They appear on the upper left stem, upper right stem, middle right stem, and lower left vine.

White Bud Top: Make 4

1. Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc into ring. 6 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. 12 sts.

Green Bud Cup: Make 4

1. Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc into ring. 6 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: Sc around. 12 sts.
4. Rnd 4: Work this sepal sequence 4 times: ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, skip 2 sts on cup, sl st in next st.
5. Fasten off with a long tail.

Place one white bud top into each green cup and sew around the lower edge. Pull the green sepals upward around the white bud so the bud looks partially closed.

Vines, Stems, and Curls

The curved green stems are a key part of the design. They rise from the cloud base, curve behind and above the moon, and hold the flowers. Each stem is made by crocheting over wrapped floral wire so it can be shaped.

How to Crochet Over Wire

Fold the sharp wire ends into tiny loops and cover them with tape. Hold the wire along the top of your working yarn chain area. Work single crochet stitches around both the wire and yarn, enclosing the wire inside the stitches. Keep your tension even but not too tight.

Main Left Flower Stem

1. Cut one 18 inch piece of 22 gauge wire.
2. With sage green yarn, attach yarn near one wire end.
3. Work 78 sc around the wire.
4. Fasten off, leaving yarn tails for sewing.

Bend this stem upward from the left-back side of the cloud base. Curve it gently inward at the top. Sew or glue the lower 2 inches deep into the cloud base, then attach one open rose near the upper left area and one bud slightly above it.

Top Arching Vine

1. Cut one 20 inch piece of 22 gauge wire.
2. Work 88 sc around the wire with sage green yarn.
3. Fasten off securely.

Bend this vine from the left top area across the top of the moon to the right side. It should form a soft arch above the bunny and moon. Attach the top-center open rose near the middle of this arch. Attach one white bud to the far right end.

Right Spiral Curl

1. Cut one 10 inch piece of 22 gauge wire.
2. Work 42 sc around the wire.
3. Fasten off.

Wrap this covered wire around a pencil to form a tight curl. Slide it off and stretch slightly. Sew the straight end behind the upper right side of the moon so the curl spirals inward, matching the decorative vine curl in the image.

Lower Right Curl

1. Cut one 9 inch piece of 22 gauge wire.
2. Work 36 sc around the wire.
3. Fasten off.

Shape this piece into a small curl near the lower right tip of the moon. Sew it to the cloud and moon edge so it looks like a vine growing across the front.

Hanging Star Strings

Make two hanging cords in sage green.

1. First cord: Ch 11, fasten off with long tails.
2. Second cord: Ch 14, fasten off with long tails.
3. Sew one yellow star to the end of each cord.

Attach the cords under the upper arching vine, slightly left of the top-center rose. The two stars should hang at different lengths. Sew the top of each cord tightly around the green stem so the stars hang freely but remain secure.

Extra Leaves for Flower Stems

Use the medium and small leaf patterns from the moon leaf section. Sew leaves around the rose stems and buds. Place one large leaf under the top-center rose, one under the left rose, and one near the lower flower on the cloud. Add smaller leaves near buds and vine curves.

For the most natural look, sew each leaf only along its center vein. This lets the leaf edges lift slightly away from the stem. In the photo, the leaves are not flat; they curve outward and give the whole piece a soft garden shape.

Attaching the Moon to the Cloud Base

Place the crescent moon on top of the cloud base before sewing. The lower moon tip should rest on the front-right cloud area. The thick middle of the moon should rise from the back-center cloud puff. The moon should lean slightly backward, while the bunny faces forward.

1. Pin the bottom of the moon into the cloud base.
2. Using golden yellow yarn, sew the moon to the cloud where yellow touches white.
3. Using sage green yarn, add a few extra hidden stitches where the green vine touches the cloud.
4. If needed, insert a short covered wire from the cloud into the back of the moon for extra support.
5. Check that the display stands without tipping before continuing.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Do not sew the bunny on until the moon is fully secure. The bunny adds weight to the lower front, so the moon and cloud must be stable first.

Placing the Bunny on the Moon

Position the bunny on the lower inside curve of the crescent. The body should sit on the moon ledge, with the legs facing forward. The bunny head should be slightly above the lower moon point and below the widest center of the moon.

1. Pin the bunny body to the moon first.
2. Sew through the lower body and into the moon with blush pink yarn.
3. Add a few hidden stitches behind the bunny head so it does not lean forward.
4. Sew the feet lightly to the front of the moon curve.
5. Place the arms so they rest naturally at the sides of the body.

After sewing, gently press the bunny into a seated pose. The ears should stand upright and remain visible against the yellow moon.

Flower Placement Guide

• Top-center open rose: Sew to the arching vine above the moon, slightly left of center.
• Left open rose: Sew on the left vertical stem, beside the moon’s upper-left curve.
• Lower-left open rose: Sew near the cloud base on the left side, close to the front.
• Front open rose: Sew near the front-left cloud area, slightly below the moon.
• Upper-left bud: Attach above the left open rose.
• Upper-right bud: Attach at the right end of the arching vine.
• Middle-right bud: Attach near the upper right side of the crescent.
• Lower-left bud: Attach on a short stem near the cloud base.

Use sewing tails and green yarn to secure each flower. For heavier roses, sew through the sepal cup, the stem, and the rose base several times. The flowers should face forward, with some turned slightly to the side for a natural arrangement.

Short Lower Flower Stem

Make one short stem for the flower and bud near the lower cloud.

1. Cut one 9 inch piece of 22 gauge wire.
2. Work 38 sc around the wire with sage green yarn.
3. Fasten off.
4. Bend the stem upward from the front-left cloud puff.
5. Attach one open rose to the end and one small leaf below it.

This short stem fills the lower-left area of the design and helps balance the tall flowers on the opposite side.

Decorative Surface Details

Once the main pieces are attached, add the tiny finishing details that make the display match the image. Sew yellow stars securely to the moon and cloud. Add white speckles to the moon. Add extra green leaves where stems look empty.

For a hand-stitched, soft look, avoid perfect symmetry. The flowers should look like they are growing around the crescent. The vines should curl naturally, and the stars should appear scattered across the moon and cloud.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check the bunny’s face after the entire piece is assembled. If the eyes look hidden by the ears or flowers, adjust the head angle with a few stitches behind the neck. Embroider a tiny nose and mouth only after the bunny is sewn in place, so the expression faces forward.

Sew all loose yarn tails into nearby pieces. For display strength, add hidden stitches between the moon, cloud, vine stems, and flowers. The finished piece should feel firm when lifted from the cloud base.

Care Notes

This crochet moon and bunny display is best kept indoors, away from moisture and strong sunlight. Because it includes wire, flowers, and shaped vines, do not machine wash it. Spot clean gently with a soft cloth and cool water only when needed.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The cloud base stands flat and does not wobble.
• The moon is firmly attached and curves like a crescent.
• The bunny sits securely on the lower moon curve.
• All roses, buds, stars, vines, and leaves are sewn tightly.
• Wire ends are covered and cannot poke through the crochet.
• The hanging stars are attached at two different lengths.
• The front of the display has balanced flowers on both sides.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the display with a clean makeup brush or soft paintbrush. To remove a small mark, dab gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then blot with a dry towel. Do not soak the piece, because water can affect the wire shape and stuffing.

Store the display upright in a box when not in use. Place tissue paper around the flowers and vines so they do not flatten. If a vine bends out of shape, gently curl it back around a pencil or your finger.
