Hình ảnh Ghim câu chuyện

Intro
Make a sweet amigurumi bunny set for a pastel picnic: cream bunny, mint-gingham dress, sunny butter-cardigan with tiny buttons, cream Mary Jane shoes, wide-brim strawy hat, cross-body camera, daisy bouquet, mini picnic basket with croissant & grapes, mint water bottle, and a folded gingham napkin.




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


Materials

  • Yarn (Worsted/Category 4, cotton or matte acrylic for crisp stitches):
    1. A. Cream (bunny + shoes + hat) ~180 g
    2. B. Butter yellow (cardigan) ~60 g
    3. C. Mint (dress + bottle sleeve details) ~50 g
    4. D. Pale pink (nose/blush) small amount
    5. E. Light taupe/linen (basket & croissant) ~30 g
    6. F. Dark grape purple (grapes) small amount
    7. G. Black (camera details) small amount
  • Hook: 3.25 mm (D/3) for amigurumi; 3.5 mm (E/4) for cardigan & dress hem if you crochet tightly
  • 12 mm safety eyes (1 pair)
  • Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
  • Tapestry needle, stitch markers, pins
  • Buttons: three 7–8 mm round “wood” buttons for cardigan
  • Thin floral wire (optional) for bouquet stems (wrap in yarn)
  • Cardboard ovals (2× 4.2 cm) for shoe soles (optional)
  • Fabric scrap mint gingham for napkin (or crochet variant below)

Finished height: ~11.5–12.5 in (29–32 cm) standing.

Gauge: not critical; fabric should be dense so stuffing doesn’t peek. My gauge is ~8–9 sc × 8–9 rnds = 2 in.


Abbreviations (US)

  • MR – magic ring
  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • inc – increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
  • dec – invisible decrease
  • BLO/FLO – back loop only / front loop only
  • [ … ] – repeat the sequence inside the brackets
  • ( … ) – stitch count at the end of the round/row

Notes:

  • Work in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
  • Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.

Notes for Accuracy

  • The head is a large rounded cube/oval, eyes wide set; snout is tiny and embroidered.
  • Ears are long, slightly folded at the base.
  • Torso is softly bell-shaped to support a standing stance inside the dress.
  • Arms lightly stuffed through the palms only for drape.
  • Shoes are Mary Janes with oval soles and open strap.
  • Hat is a wide, soft brim with subtle crown.
  • Accessories are intentionally simple to keep the handmade look of a real crochet scene.

Assembly Order

  1. Dress the bunny before attaching shoes permanently.
  2. Put on the cardigan; sew buttons if desired.
  3. Add the hat—tack the back two points to the head so it tilts slightly downward like in the photo.
  4. Drape the camera strap cross-body (left shoulder to right hip).
  5. Place bouquet in the right hand and picnic basket near the feet; bottle and napkin on the table beside for styling.
  6. Steam-block the dress hem and hat brim for the natural, real-photo curl.

Finishing Touches & Styling

  • Use a tiny bit of soft pastel (or blush yarn) to tint the cheeks.
  • For the “gingham” skirt to read clearly on camera, keep the surface lines subtle and evenly spaced.
  • Position ears asymmetric—one slightly ahead of the other—to imitate the natural tilt seen in lifestyle product photos.
  • Photograph near a window on a light wooden table with a neutral sofa and a potted plant in the background to match the pastel, natural-light vibe.
