Assembly Instructions
- Attach head to body by sewing the neck opening to the top of the body using a mattress stitch or whipstitch, making sure the head is centered before securing.
- Position arms on either side of the body about two rows down from where the head and body join; tack in place with pins and sew securely with matching yarn tails.
- Sew the legs to the bottom of the body where the leg openings were formed, aligning the left and right legs symmetrically and reinforcing with several passes of yarn for durability.
- Sew ears to the head between Rnd 2-3 on the head, spacing them evenly and sewing through the base of the ear to secure.
- Sew buttons onto the sleeper to match the buttonholes created on Rows 22 and 26; use small white buttons and tack them securely with thread.
- Assemble the basket bed by sewing the border and side wall into place, add the pillow and ruffle, then place the finished doll and bunny into the bed for display.
Important Notes
- π‘Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially during joins and when converting between rounds and rows.
- π‘Stuff firmly but not too tightly for the best shape; overstuffing can distort small pieces like the head and limbs.
- π‘Work BLO rounds precisely where indicated to create the correct ridges and fold-up brims for the cap and sleeper cuffs.
- π‘Weave in ends as you go to avoid a tedious finishing session at the end and to keep small pieces tidy.
- π‘Test hook size and gauge on a small sample if substituting different yarn to ensure pieces fit the basket bed and bonnet correctly.

What size will the finished piece be?
The finished amigurumi doll measures approximately 10-12 cm tall when worked with 8/4 super fine yarn and a 1.5mm hook; the basket bed and blanket sizes will vary with yarn and hook choices.
Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?
Yes, you can substitute yarn weights, but this affects final size; use a larger hook for thicker yarn and expect the basket bed to require a larger hook and possibly double-stranding for structure.
Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?
This pattern is rated intermediate; basic experience with single crochet, increases, decreases, BLO, and working in rounds is recommended for best results.
How long does this project typically take to complete?
Most crafters finish the full Goodnight Set in about 12-15 hours total, though time may vary depending on experience and how many items you make in one session.
How should I secure the tiny buttons?
Sew small 6mm buttons on with a strong thread and pass through the buttonhole area multiple times to ensure they stay put; for toys meant for young children, consider using embroidered buttons or securely glued felt instead.
