A Mini Version of the Original Crochet Bunny Bag

If you have been with me for some time now, you may remember that I published another bunny bag pattern a few years ago. I love the original, but it turned out to be just a bit too big for my preschooler to carry around for gathering eggs. So this time I made the bag a bit smaller and I also gave Mrs. Bunny some new crocheted eyes, nose and flowers for her hair. The being said, I love the original bow embellishment also and that, too, could be used with the Mini Bunny Bag.

A Simple Crochet Pattern for Beginners

One of the things I loved most about making this pattern is that I was able to use yarn that was in my stash for all of it! Just a skein of white worsted weight acrylic is required, and then small scraps of your desired colors for the embellishments. The bag pattern is perfect for any level of crocheter and works up quickly, so you will have time to make them for all your egg hunters before Easter!

Assembly

Place your embellishments in the desired location on your bag.  I recommend pinning them in place.

Using the long tails and a yarn needle, sew each embellishment onto the bag. After sewing the eyes in to place I used the same tail to create the eyelashes.  Tie off and weave in any additional ends.
