I’m always looking for fun and creative ways to make gift giving more personal. These little bunny head pouches are the perfect package for candy treats or money gift for Easter or a Spring birthday.
Make it with or without the face (I kind of like the face) and for a bit of extra cuteness, add a small pompom for a tail! This little bunny head works up super quick and more than likely you have scraps of yarn that you can use up!
I used Red Heart Super Saver because I had it in the colors I needed, but more importantly I think it will stand up nicely for this project. Red Heart Super Saver is a great choice for so many projects because it is readily available in most craft stores, as well as on line directly from RedHeart.com, it’s easy care, holds up well, is soft but sturdy and comes in a huge range of colors! Of course you may use any worsted weight acrylic yarn you like and I’m sure even a worsted cotton would generate good results.

Special Stitches:
Crab Stitch or Twisted SC: Work sc in opposite direction from which you normally crochet (for right handed crocheters you will be working left to right; for left handed crocheters you will be working right to left. If you prefer not to work the crab stitch, you can achieve the same look with Twisted SC – I have a tutorial on my blog to show you how.
Notes:
- Pattern is written in US Terms.
- Weave in ends as you work.
- Stitch count is in ( ) at the end of the row or round.
- For this section DO NOT join rounds, work in spiral and mark the first stitch of each round to keep count.
Front:
Round 1 (RIGHT SIDE): With white, start with a Magic Circle, ch1, 6sc in center of circle. Pull tail tightly to close opening. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc. (12)
Round 3: [Sc in next sc, 2sc in next sc], repeat to end. (18)
Round 4: [Sc in next 2 sc, 2sc in next sc], repeat to end. (24)
Round 5: [Sc in next 3 sc, 2sc in next sc], repeat to end. (30)
Round 6: [Sc in next 4 sc, 2sc in next sc], repeat to end, sl st in next st. (36 not including sl st)
Round 7: Ch1, sc in each st to end, join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off.
To make the face, use the black yarn and embroider the eyes, nose and mouth using the diagram below as a guide.
Back:
Repeat Rounds 1 to 7 of Front.
Ear 1:
Row 1: Ch1, sc 4 sts. (4)
Rows 2 to 9: Ch1, turn, sc in each st. (4)
Row 10: Ch1, turn, sc2tog 2 times. (2)
Row 11: Ch1, turn, sc2tog. Fasten off. (1)
Ear 2:
With Front facing you, join yarn in the next st after Ear 1. Repeat Rows 1 to 11 as for Ear 1.
Edge: With WRONG SIDE facing you, join yarn at base of Ear 1, sc in each st around both ears. Fasten off.
Join Front and Back together: Bring the two pieces together with wrong sides touching, making sure to center the top of the face with the ears.
Starting at the base of the right ear and working through both thicknesses, work a round of Crab Stitch around to the next ear. Fasten off.
Note: If you prefer to work the twisted sc, join the yarn at the base of the left ear instead of the right.
Work small pompom in desired pink and sew in place on back. If you need help, take a look at my easy tutorial HERE.
