Introduction
Crochet a Bubble-Tea Barista Bunny: a beige amigurumi bunny in mint overalls with a bobble-dot bib pocket, a caramel-and-cream striped tee, cream lace-up sneakers (not boots), and a mint visor. Accessories include a mint crossbody pouch, a crocheted bubble-tea cup with black “pearls,” a small glass-like tip jar with coins, and a tiny order slip. The piece is designed to sit or stand for display on a wooden table in a cozy, pastel home setting. This pattern uses US terms and works mostly in continuous rounds.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Order Slip
Cut a 2.5 × 3.5 cm card. Cover both sides with a single layer of C sc fabric (or ch 9, sc 6 rows), then surface-stitch tiny boxes and lines in F/D to mimic a checklist.
Assembly & Positioning (match image)
- Arms: pin to upper sides of torso so hands rest slightly forward. Sew securely.
- Legs: attach low and slightly apart so the bunny can stand with support or sit. Ensure shoe toes face outward a touch.
- Overalls & Tee: dress the bunny; align bib centered under chin; cross straps in back and button to bib.
- Visor: place with seam at back; brim centered and curved downward.
- Pouch: cross strap over right shoulder so bag sits at left hip.
- Bubble-tea: stitch to right hand at two points (grip and rim) for stability.
- Tip jar & slip: stage on table near left foot for the photo-ready scene.
Face Details
- After head assembly, refine nose triangle with 2–3 passes of thread; add a micro highlight on each eye (one stitch of white).
- Optional blush with powder or fabric paint.
Optional Wired Ears (for subtle posing)
Before closing ear base, insert a short U-shaped chenille stem; wrap ends and secure so no wire pokes out. Sew ears low, just beneath visor band.
Safety & Care
- For children under 3, embroider eyes instead of safety eyes.
- Spot clean with mild soap; air dry. Avoid pressing acrylic yarn directly with a hot iron—steam-block at a distance.
