Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Bag Base (Oval Shape)

The bag starts with an oval base, which provides a sturdy bottom.

  1. Ch 21 (or adjust for a wider bag).
  2. Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in the next 18 stitches, and work 3 sc in the last ch to turn. Continue working on the other side of the foundation chain, sc in the next 18 stitches, 2 sc in the last stitch. (Total 42 stitches)
  3. Round 2: Inc in first stitch, sc in next 18, inc in next 3 stitches, sc in next 18, inc in last 2 stitches. (48 sts)
  4. Round 3: Sc in each stitch around. (48 sts)
  5. Continue this pattern until your base reaches the desired size (around 6-8 inches in length).

Step 2: Build the Bag Body

Once the base is ready, we work without increasing to create the height of the bag.

  1. Round 1: Sc in back loops only (this helps create a clean base edge). (48 sts)
  2. Rounds 2-15: Sc around in continuous rounds (or as many rounds as needed for your desired height).
  3. If you want a taller bag, continue adding more rounds.

💡 Tip: Use a stitch marker at the start of each round to keep track!

Step 3: Make the Bunny Ears (Make 2)

The bunny’s signature ears add charm to the bag!

  1. Ch 10, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across. (9 sts)
  2. Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across.
  3. Rows 3-8: Continue in sc, decreasing at each side every other row until the top forms a point.
  4. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Optional: Use pink yarn to crochet a smaller ear shape for the inner ear and sew it onto the larger ear for extra detail.

Step 4: Attach the Bunny Ears

  • Position the ears symmetrically on top of the bag.
  • Sew them securely using the long yarn tail.
  • Make sure they stand up properly or have a slight curve for a cute floppy look!

Step 5: Crochet or Embroider the Bunny Face

Now, let’s bring the bunny to life!

Eyes:

  • Option 1: Attach safety eyes approximately 2 inches apart.
  • Option 2: Embroider closed “sleepy” eyes using black yarn.

Nose & Mouth:

  • Use pink yarn to sew an upside-down triangle nose.
  • Embroider a small “Y” shape for the mouth.

Whiskers (Optional):

  • Embroider a few short whiskers on each side of the face using black yarn.

Step 6: Make the Bag Handles

You can customize the handles based on your style preference!

Basic Handle (Single Crochet Strap):

  1. Ch 60 (or adjust length).
  2. Sc in each ch across.
  3. Attach both ends securely to the bag.

Thicker Handle (Half Double Crochet Strap):

  1. Ch 60, hdc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc across.
  2. Attach the strap securely.

Alternative: Braided Handle

  • Make three long chains, braid them together, and attach them for a stylish look.

Step 7: Add the Bunny Tail (Pom-Pom or Crochet)

No bunny is complete without a fluffy tail!

  • Option 1: Attach a small white pom-pom to the back.
  • Option 2: Crochet a small circle using white yarn:
    1. Magic ring, 6 sc inside the ring.
    2. Inc in each stitch (12).
    3. Sc around for 2-3 rounds.
    4. Fasten off and sew to the back.

Final Touches & Customization

  • Lining the Bag (Optional): Sew a fabric lining inside for extra durability.
  • Decorations: Add bows, flowers, or beads for extra charm.
  • Size Adjustments: Increase base stitches for a larger bag, and decrease for a mini purse.
