Pattern Notes

Work most amigurumi pieces in continuous spiral rounds unless the pattern says to join. Use a stitch marker at the first stitch of every round. Keep your stitches firm so the stuffing does not show through the cream cottage, bunny bodies, and sunflower blades.

The display is built from the bottom upward. First make the round grass base, then the cottage cylinder, roof, sunflower blades, and door details. After that, crochet the bunnies and all garden accessories. Pin every piece in place before sewing so the scene matches the image.

Round Grass Base

Use grass green yarn and the 2.75 mm hook. This base should be flat, thick, and slightly raised at the edge, like a neat crocheted lawn.

Cream Windmill Cottage Body

The cottage is a tall cream cylinder with straight sides and a soft rounded look. Use cream yarn and the 2.25 mm hook. Stuff firmly, but do not overstuff so the cylinder keeps a smooth vertical wall.

1. R1: 8 sc in MR. 8 sts.
2. R2: Inc around. 16 sts.
3. R3: Repeat 1 sc, inc around. 24 sts.

17. R49: Repeat 3 sc, dec around. 32 sts.
18. R50: Repeat 2 sc, dec around. 24 sts. FO, leaving a long tail.

Flatten the top slightly with your hands. The roof will cover the last decrease rounds, so the cottage should look like a cream tower with the widest part at the bottom and a gently narrowing top.

Golden Roof Cone

The roof is a sunflower-like golden cap behind the large flower. Use warm golden brown or dark honey yarn. It should sit low around the cottage and come to a soft point at the top.

Stuff the roof lightly and insert a cone of felt or plastic canvas if you want it to stand tall. Sew the roof to R44 of the cottage body so the lower edge overlaps the cream tower.

Sunflower Windmill Center

Use warm brown yarn. This round center sits on the front of the roof and holds all five yellow blades. Crochet tightly so the spiral texture looks like the sunflower center in the image.

1. R1: 8 sc in MR. 8 sts.
2. R2: Inc around. 16 sts.

Before sewing the center to the roof, sew or attach the five blades evenly around the back edge of R5 to R7. The top blade points straight upward. Two blades angle up-left and up-right. Two blades angle down-left and down-right.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

1. Sew the cottage slightly behind the center of the green base, leaving more room at the front for the path and garden details.
2. Sew the roof securely to the cottage, then attach the sunflower windmill center and five blades to the front of the roof.
3. Sew the blue bird to the right side of the roof, angled outward so it is visible from the front.
4. Attach the door to the lower front of the cottage. Add the round windows around the body.
5. Sew the stepping stones from the front edge to the door.
6. Place the adult bunny on the right side near the stove and pot. Sew her feet and dress bottom to the grass.
7. Place the pink child bunny near the path with the strawberry basket.
8. Place the blue child bunny on the stool near the door, holding the tiny spoon.
9. Sew the berry bed to the left front side. Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mushrooms, bush, and daisies.
10. Sew the clothesline behind the adult bunny on the right side, then attach the two checked towels.
11. Sew the cookie table, jam jar, basket, mushrooms, and curved fence around the right front side.

For bunny faces, embroider a tiny brown or pink nose between the eyes. Add a short vertical line under the nose and two small cheek stitches in pale pink. Keep the facial details simple, round, and gentle so the bunnies match the cozy handmade look of the scene.

Care Notes

Spot clean only with cool water and a mild soap. Do not machine wash because the cottage, roof, fence, and small accessories contain shaped pieces and many sewn details. Press gently with a towel and let the display air dry flat.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Check that all five sunflower blades are evenly spaced and securely sewn behind the brown center.
• Make sure the cottage stands straight and does not lean on the base.
• Confirm the bunnies are stable and their arms are attached around their accessories.
• Check every small berry, cookie, mushroom, and towel for loose yarn tails.
• Trim or weave in all visible ends before displaying.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Keep the finished Sunflower Windmill Bunny Jam House away from direct sunlight for long periods, especially if you use cotton yarn in bright yellow, red, pink, and blue. Sunlight may fade the colors over time.

To remove dust, use a soft makeup brush or a gentle handheld blower on a low setting. Brush around the flower blades, window frames, berry bed, and fence carefully so the small pieces stay in place.

If the display needs storage, place it in a clean box with tissue paper around the sunflower blades and bunnies. Do not crush the roof or place heavy items on top. Store in a dry area to protect the fiber, stuffing, and inner support pieces.
