Pretty cute huh?What you need:
- Jute or yarn for the middle part
- Strips of rose fabric or contrasting yarn for the outside
- A crochet hook of corresponding size to your yarn
- Scissors
- Potpourri or scented oil etc
Cast on a stitch…
And form a foundation ring of around 5 stitches. Chain one and then single crochet into the next. We’re creating a big spiral which forms a circle. To get there you want to double up stitches on every 3rd stitch as you go around.
It should look something like this…
When you get to the size you want your bunny’s head tie off. I made mine around 8cm in diameter.
Repeat, making another circle. This time add 2 long ears out of chain.
These are the pieces you should have now:
Now fit the two sides together and if you feel you need it, pin the middles so they don’t move around.
To join them we will use the floral fabric strips to crochet the two halves together.
Basically using the fabric as yarn you want to pick up a loop from either piece and treat them as one loop.
Single crochet around the outside of the whole thing.
Should look something like this…
When you get to the ears keep going up and around them. The extra bulk will give them ore shape. You may need to crochet twice into the tops of the ears to give them that curved shape.
And finished…
You can see that at the top behind the ears the back piece isn’t joined so it’s formed a little opening making it like a bag. If you’re going to add in potpourri this is where to do it
I decided to use perfume oil instead of potpourri. I was gifted this delicious smelling cake oil from Epically Epic Soap co. by SheFallsSoftly and it’s soooo good. Seriously the most realistic cake fragrance ever.
The jute holds scents really well so I just rubbed the perfume oil around the inside…
… and popped it in my stockings drawer!
Done! If I had actually sat down and done it in one siting it would probably have taken around an hour and a half. This blog is turning into a crochet bunny spree hahaha XD |
this is how little i know abt knitting and crochet haha i didnt even realise it was a crochet kit hahahaha
good thing u are a wonder at both heehee

i’m trying to get back into crochet-ing
& this is a very nice comeback for me
hahaha!
keep it coming,hun!
love your tutorials!
^_^
Haha this is a fun project to come back to :D Thank you!
At first I was looking at the preview photo and I was confused at what it was, since it didn’t really look like a bag until I went through the entire tutorial. xD *feels dumb* Anyway, good tutorial. The more bunnies the better :).
Haha you’re right it doesn’t look like a pouch until the end XD
Another great tutorial Violet! You’re so creative and talented :)
You are too sweet <3
Yumeko is so nice and this is too cute! I can’t crochet because it hurts my fingers for some reason… I don’t think i’m doing it right but i’m too scared to continue :(. It’s ok, I never had to patience to finish something anyway XD.
She is, I adore her! XD I think if your fingers hurt then maybe you’re holding the hook the wrong way? You should try out bigger bunny tute I’m working on, easy to finish! :D
Your bunny project has inspired me. I am going to make myself some light hats. The ones the sell to wear at night are just so ugly. I think I can come up with a design on my own. Maybe I will loom knit it and then put bunny applique on it. Thanks for the motivation!
Ooo that sounds like a fantastic idea Leslie! I can’t wait to see what you make!
