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

Project Materials and Tool Preparation

Achieving the professional aesthetic of the Forget-Me-Not Meadow Bunny requires careful attention to material selection. The consistency of your yarn weight is the most critical factor in ensuring that the multi-layered clothing fits the body correctly. We recommend using a Sport weight (Fine #2) or a light DK weight (Light #3) yarn to maintain the delicate proportions of the rabbit and her companion. Using a hook size slightly smaller than the yarn manufacturer suggests will help create a dense, gap-free fabric that keeps the fiberfill completely hidden.

• Main Body Yarn: Cream or Light Beige cotton yarn (approx. 120g). A mercerized finish is preferred for crisp stitch definition.
• Dress Base & Bonnet: Sky Blue or Cornflower Blue yarn (approx. 100g).
• Flower Accents: Small amounts of Royal Blue and Sun Yellow for the forget-me-not petals and centers.
• Cardigan & Lace: Off-white or Pure White yarn (approx. 50g).
• Shoes: Matching Sky Blue yarn.
• Sheep Companion: Textured White “boucle” yarn or standard White yarn worked in bobble stitches for the wool; Beige for the face and legs.
• Crochet Hooks: A 2.25mm hook for the main body and miniature accessories; a 2.75mm hook for the clothing to allow for a slightly softer drape.
• Safety Eyes: 12mm black safety eyes for the rabbit and 6mm eyes for the miniature sheep.
• Stuffing: High-density polyester fiberfill.
• Notions: Long tapestry needle, sharp embroidery needle, stitch markers, and pink cosmetic blush for the cheeks.
• Miniature Frame: A 2-inch wooden ring or a small crocheted hoop to represent the embroidery frame.

Standard Abbreviations (US Terms)

Maintaining an accurate stitch count is the foundation of a high-quality finish. These instructions utilize standard United States terminology. Please ensure your tension is firm throughout the amigurumi portions to prevent the stuffing from peeking through the fabric. For the clothing, a slightly more relaxed tension is acceptable to facilitate easy dressing of the doll.

• MR: Magic Ring (the foundation for all circular work).
• sc: Single crochet.
• inc: Increase (work two single crochets into the same stitch).
• dec: Invisible decrease (work through the front loops only to reduce bulk).
• hdc: Half double crochet.
• dc: Double crochet.
• tr: Treble crochet.
• sl st: Slip stitch.
• ch: Chain stitch.
• BLO: Back loops only.
• FLO: Front loops only.
• st(s): Stitch or stitches.
• Popcorn: Work 4 dc in the same stitch, remove hook, insert into first dc, pull loop through.
• BO (Bobble): Work 4 dc together in the same stitch, pulling through all loops at once.

The Sculpted Bunny Head

The head is designed as a large, rounded sphere with subtle tapering toward the muzzle to give the bunny a gentle, curious expression. Use the Cream yarn and the 2.25mm hook. Work in continuous spirals without joining rounds. Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round to avoid errors in the shaping of the cheeks. Firm stuffing is essential here to provide a smooth base for facial features.

1. Round 1: Start with a MR and place 6 sc into the ring. (6)
2. Round 2: Work 1 inc in every stitch around the circle. (12)
3. Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (36)
7. Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (42)
8. Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (48)
9. Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (54)
10. Round 10: (8 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (60)
11. Round 11: (9 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (66)
12. Rounds 12-25: Work 1 sc in each of the 66 stitches around. This long section builds the vertical height of the face and creates the placement area for the safety eyes. (66)
13. Round 26: (9 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (60)
14. Round 27: (8 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (54)
15. Round 28: (7 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (48)
16. Placement: Insert the 12mm safety eyes between rounds 18 and 19, leaving approximately 12 stitches of space between them. Ensure they are perfectly level.
17. Round 29: (6 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (42)
18. Round 30: (5 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (36)
19. Stuffing: Begin stuffing the head firmly. Focus on pushing the fiberfill toward the sides to define the rounded cheeks seen in the image.
20. Round 31: (4 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (30)
21. Round 32: (3 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (24)
22. Round 33: (2 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (18) Finish stuffing the head to a firm consistency.
23. Round 34: (1 sc, 1 dec) repeat 6 times. (12)
24. Round 35: 6 dec to close. (6) Fasten off and leave a tail to weave through the front loops.

Facial Details and Muzzle Sculpting

To achieve the soulful expression of the rabbit, use a long strand of Cream yarn to perform eye sculpting. Insert the needle at the base of the head, exit near the inner corner of one eye, re-enter a stitch away, and pull back toward the base. Repeat for the other eye. This creates depth in the sockets. For the nose and mouth, use dark brown thread to embroider a small “Y” shape approximately three rounds below the eyes. Apply pink blush to the cheeks using a soft brush to add a healthy garden glow.

Long Floppy Bunny Ears

The ears are a signature feature, requiring a long, flat construction that allows them to hang naturally beside the head. We do not stuff the ears to maintain flexibility. Make two pieces using the Cream yarn and the 2.25mm hook.

1. Round 1: Start with a MR and work 6 sc inside. (6)
2. Round 2: Work 1 inc into every stitch around. (12)
3. Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times. (30)
6. Rounds 6-15: Work 1 sc in each of the 30 stitches around. (30)
7. Round 16: (8 sc, 1 dec) repeat 3 times. (27)
8. Rounds 17-25: sc in each st around. (27)
9. Round 26: (7 sc, 1 dec) repeat 3 times. (24)
10. Rounds 27-35: sc in each st around. (24)
11. Round 36: (6 sc, 1 dec) repeat 3 times. (21)
12. Rounds 37-45: sc in each st around. (21)
13. Round 46: (5 sc, 1 dec) repeat 3 times. (18)
14. Rounds 47-60: sc in each st around. (18) The extra length is vital for the vintage silhouette.
15. Flatten the base of the ear and perform 9 sc through both layers to close the opening. Fasten off and leave a very long tail for sewing to the top of the head at round 6 during assembly.

Constructing the Sturdy Torso

The body is shaped to stand stably while providing a solid frame for the heavy floral gown. We work from the neck down. Use Cream yarn and maintain firm tension to prevent the clothing from sagging. Ensure the bottom is stuffed heavily to provide a flat base for standing.

1. Round 1: MR, 6 sc. (6)
2. Round 2: 6 inc. (12)
3. Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (18)
4. Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (24)
5. Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (30)
6. Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (36)
7. Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (42)
8. Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) repeat around. (48)
9. Rounds 9-22: sc in each st around. (48)
10. Round 23: (5 sc, 1 inc) repeat 8 times. (56)
11. Round 24: (6 sc, 1 inc) repeat 8 times. (64)
12. Rounds 25-40: sc in each st around. (64) This builds a wide, stable base.
13. Round 41: (6 sc, 1 dec) repeat around. (56)
14. Round 42: (5 sc, 1 dec) repeat around. (48)
15. Round 43: (4 sc, 1 dec) repeat around. (40)
16. Round 44: (3 sc, 1 dec) repeat around. (32) Stuff the torso very firmly.
17. Round 45: (2 sc, 1 dec) repeat around. (24)
18. Round 46: 12 dec to close. (12) Fasten off.

Final Assembly and Sculpting Mastery

Precision during assembly is what separates a good project from a great one. Follow these final steps to ensure your character matches the reference perfectly. Consistency in the alignment of the head and ears is the most important factor in capturing the bunny’s personality.

• Joining the Head: Sew the head firmly to the torso opening. Ensure the neck is stuffed very firmly so the head does not wobble under the weight of the ears and bonnet.
• Ear placement: Pin the long ears to Round 6 of the head. Check from the front to ensure they are symmetrical and centered before sewing them securely. They should hang naturally downward.
• Dressing: Put the sky blue floral dress on first. Slide the cream cardigan over the arms.
• Styling: Place the bonnet on the head, pulling the floppy ears down through the sides. Tie the white ribbon securely under the chin.
• Final Polish: Position the embroidery hoop in the bunny’s left arm. Place the fluffy sheep next to her feet. Inspect your work for any loose yarn tails. Use your needle to pull any ends deep into the stuffing. Re-apply the cheek blush if it has faded during assembly.

Your Forget-Me-Not Meadow Bunny is now complete! This character is a celebration of texture, color, and woodland storytelling. Store your masterpiece in a dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant blue hues of the yarn. We hope you enjoyed every moment of this sophisticated garden journey and feel proud of the incredible artistry you have achieved with your crochet hooks.
