Introduction

Meet the Picnic Patch Bunny—a soft-spoken amigurumi rabbit in a mint-gingham pinafore, ruffled blouse, sunhat with a blush-pink band, Mary Jane shoes, and a tiny crossbody “wicker” basket (plus a cookie for snack time!). The toy sits neatly and looks adorable on a pastel picnic cloth.

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

Materials Needed

• Yarn (DK/Light Worsted, cotton or cotton blend):
  1. Cream (Body, blouse, socks) – 60–70 g

  4. Straw/Beige (Sunhat) – 25 g
  5. Blush Pink (Hat band) – small amount
  6. Caramel/Golden Brown (Basket) – 15 g
  7. Chocolate Brown (Shoes, cookie chips) – 20 g
  8. Biscuit Beige (Cookie) – small amount
  9. Olive (Leaf for flower) – scrap
• Hook: 2.75 mm (C) for amigurumi pieces; 3.0 mm for clothing/fabric pieces that need drape.
• Safety eyes: 8 mm (1 pair).
• Stuffing: Poly-fiberfill.
• Notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, pins, fabric glue (optional for chips/flower), sewing thread to match if you prefer to secure clothing edges, 2 small buttons (for pinafore straps), 1 small button (for blouse back).
• Wire or pipe cleaner (optional): For lightly poseable ears (use with caution for kids).
• Embroidery thread: Light pink for nose, dark brown for mouth.

Abbreviations (US Terms)

• MR – magic ring
• ch – chain
• sl st – slip stitch
• sc – single crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• dc – double crochet
• inc – increase (2 sc in the same st)

• sk – skip
• rep – repeat
• st(s) – stitch(es)
• Rnd – round

Gauge & Finished Size

• Amigurumi gauge (2.75 mm, sc in the round): ~24–26 sts × 26–28 rnds = 4 in/10 cm.
• Finished size: Approx. 9.5–10 in (24–25 cm) tall to top of hat; body seated height ~7.5 in (19 cm).

Pattern Notes

• Work amigurumi parts in continuous rounds unless noted; use a marker to track first stitch.
• Stuff firmly but evenly; shape as you go.
• Colorwork gingham on the pinafore uses simple tapestry crochet with short floats; carry the unused color loosely.
• Pieces are designed to be removable (blouse, pinafore, hat, shoes, bag).
• Keep strands tidy on the wrong side—this helps garments slide on/off cleanly.

1. Attach head to body: Seam evenly around Rnd 22 of head and Rnd 20 of body; keep the neck straight.
2. Arms: Sew at the body’s side across Rnd 10–12 (just under the chest), angled slightly forward to hold the bag/cookie.
3. Legs: Align under body; stitch the open tops to the final body rounds so the bunny sits naturally.
4. Ears: Pin to top of head; sew bases 3 sts behind the eye line and 5 sts apart for a soft, downward flop.
5. Tail: Center back at the hip seam to help the sitting pose.
6. Final face tweaks: Add a tiny blush with light pink yarn or embroidery if desired.

DRESSING & FINAL STYLING

1. Put on the blouse (button at the back).
2. Slide the pinafore up from the feet; fasten straps to the back waistband buttons so they cross. Ensure the pocket is centered and the daisy is at the upper right.
3. Add shoes; close straps.
4. Place the basket bag across the body from left shoulder to right hip.
5. Pop the cookie into the right hand by stitching a few tacks through the edge of the cookie into the palm.
6. Set the sunhat on the head; brim should slope slightly downward, pink band visible all around.
7. Pose the ears to flop gently forward; add a few hidden tacks if you want the shape to hold.

Care & Safety

• For children under 3, swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes.
• Spot clean garments; reshape the hat brim after drying.
• Keep floats of the gingham tidy; weave in ends securely.
