- Soft Pink worsted weight yarn (approx 20g) — Inner Ears & Blush Details
- Dusty Pink worsted weight yarn (approx 15g) — Mary Jane Shoes
- Straw/Tan worsted weight yarn (approx 25g) — Sun Hat & Crossbody Satchel
- Small amounts of White, Yellow, and Terracotta yarn for embroidery, daisies, and the flower pot.
Tools & Supplies:
- Crochet hook: 3mm (or size needed to achieve a tight, hole-free gauge)
- Safety eyes: 18mm round dark brown safety eyes with large white felt backings, x2
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing (high-grade)
- Tapestry needle + sharp embroidery needle
- Scissors
- Stitch markers (locking style)
- 1 small wooden flower button (for the crossbody satchel)

📏 Gauge & Measurements
- Gauge: 5 sc x 5 rows = 1 inch using a 3mm hook and worsted weight yarn.
- Finished doll height: Approximately 32cm from the soles of her shoes to the top of her head (excluding the ears) when seated.

🔧 How to Assemble Your Bonnie the Blossom Bunny Doll
Follow these steps in numerical order for a clean, professional finish:
- Insert safety eyes into the head precisely at Round 12, ensuring an 8-stitch gap between them. Snap the safety washers firmly on from the inside before finishing head closure.
- Finish stuffing the head to a smooth, firm round shape, then close with a slip stitch.
- Stuff and close the body. Sew the head securely to the top opening of the body using the yarn tail and a sturdy whip stitch.
- Attach the arms at shoulder level (approx Round 19 of the body). Sew directly through both layers flat against the neck junction.
- Attach the legs directly to the bottom base of the body (around Rnd 4), keeping them side-by-side so they hang in a natural, floppy seated manner.
- Add the floppy ears onto the top sides of the head around Rnd 3. Angle them slightly downward for a sweet, relaxed drape.
- Embroider the face details: Using a fine pink yarn thread, sew a small upside-down triangle between the eyes for the nose. Stitch a quick, short line down for a subtle mouth. Add feminine eyelashes at the outer corners of the safety eyes using black thread. Dab a small bit of actual pink cosmetic blush onto her cheeks.
- Dress the doll by slipping the Sage Green dress over her body from the bottom up before attaching her head completely, or button it securely down the back.
- Attach the crossbody bag by looping the strap over Bonnie’s head and resting the satchel casually at her side hip.
- Style the scene: Place the straw sun hat delicately on her head between her long floppy ears, and arrange the miniature terracotta flower pot and pink watering can directly next to her feet for photography!
💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
- Always use a smaller hook than recommended on your yarn label. Amigurumi needs tight, dense fabric so stuffing doesn’t show through.
- Use stitch markers at the start of every round — it’s easy to lose count, especially on the body.
- The invisible decrease is your best friend. It creates a much smoother surface than the standard decrease and hides cleanly.
- Insert safety eyes before stuffing the head closed — you cannot do this after. Position them, step back, check the look, then lock the washers.
- Stuff firmly but not so hard the fabric distorts. The doll should hold its shape when set down.
- For clean embroidery on clothing, use a contrasting thread color and a fine needle. Sketch the design lightly with chalk or erasable pen first.
- Photograph on a wooden surface outdoors in natural light — this is exactly how the most popular amigurumi pages get their gorgeous shots. No flash needed!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this amigurumi crochet pattern really free?
A: Yes, completely free! No sign-up or download required. The full pattern is written out above. Enjoy! 🎉
Q: What is the best yarn for making amigurumi dolls?
A: Smooth worsted weight acrylic yarn works best for beginners — it’s affordable, easy to work with, and comes in every color. Cotton yarn is also great for a stiffer finish with more stitch definition. Avoid fuzzy or textured yarns as they hide your stitch work.
Q: How long does it take to crochet this doll?
A: Most intermediate crocheters complete this doll in 8–15 hours spread over a few days. Beginners may take a little longer — and that’s totally fine! Take your time and enjoy the process.
Q: Can a complete beginner make this pattern?
A: If you know how to single crochet, increase, and decrease, you can do this! The techniques are simple but the results look incredible. We recommend trying a small practice piece first if this is your very first amigurumi.
: Can I make the doll’s outfit removable?
A: Yes! Crochet the dress as a separate piece that slips over the head and body rather than attaching it permanently. Add a small snap button or hook-and-eye closure at the back for a clean removable finish.
