Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Materials Needed
- Main Material: Bernat Blanket Yarn (or any chunky yarn for beginners).
- Crochet Hook Size: 6 mm.
- Additional Items: Safety eyes, yarn needle, bobby pins, or stitch markers.
- All materials are linked in the video’s description box.
2. Starting the Magic Ring
- Begin by creating a magic ring.
- Place 10 single crochets into the ring.
- Close the ring tightly by pulling the loose string, ensuring no gaps remain.
- Slip stitch in the very first single crochet to complete Row 1.
3. Building the Base
- Row 2: Use stitch markers (or bobby pins) to mark your starting points. Create 2 single crochets in each stitch of the previous row, finishing with 20 stitches. Slip stitch to close the round.
- Row 3: Crochet 1 single crochet in each stitch around. Complete 20 stitches in this row.
- Repeat this process for Rows 4 to 7. Continue making one single crochet in each stitch to build the pouch’s height.
4. Creating the Bunny Ears
- Row 9:
- Chain 11. Skip 3 stitches and insert 1 double crochet in the 4th stitch. Make 2 more double crochets in the next stitches.
- Follow up with 4 half double crochets in the subsequent stitches to form the first ear.
- Skip 2 stitches, then slip stitch to secure the ear.
- Crochet 5 single crochets and slip stitch before starting the second ear.
- Chain 11 again for the second ear and repeat the process followed for the first ear.
5. Finishing the Edges
- Add single crochets along the edges of both bunny ears to widen and smooth their appearance. In the chain-3 section of each ear's tip, insert 3 single crochets to create a rounded look.
- Once complete, slip stitch to join edges and finish the pouch.
6. Adding the Face Details
- Use safety eyes to create the bunny’s face. Place the eyes, align them, and securely attach the backings.
- For the nose, use black yarn to stitch an inverted "V" shape. Experiment with shapes to avoid making it look like a puppy.
Special Features
- Adorable Design: The finished product doubles as cute packaging for treats, gifts, or small items.
- Closeable Ears: The bunny pouch has a clever closure mechanism where one ear can be looped through the other.
Level of Difficulty
- The project is best suited for intermediate-level crocheters due to the use of a magic ring, working in rounds, and forming ears and edges.
- Beginners can attempt it using non-fluffy chunky yarn for easier stitch visibility.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use Stitch Markers/ Bobby Pins: These are strongly recommended to avoid losing track of stitches while working with fluffy yarn.
- For Beginners: Substitute fluffy yarn with Bernat Chunky Yarn (non-fluffy), which is easier to work with.
- Take Your Time: Working with blanket yarn can be tricky, especially differentiating stitches—so work slowly and carefully.
Uses of the Bunny Pouch
- Easter and Festivities: Fill it with chocolates or candies.
- Gift Wrapping: Use it to package small gifts or jewelry.
- Decor: The bunny pouch can also double as an adorable table piece.
Materials Recap
- Bernat Blanket Yarn (or Bernat Chunky Yarn for beginners).
