Crochet Bunny Treat Bag
My youngest asked if I could make her a crochet bunny treat bag that she could use to collect eggs while at a local Easter egg hunt. Of course I could!
The Pipsqueak Bunny Bag was made using Pipsqueak yarn to make a super soft and fluffy crochet bunny. It’s the perfect yarn for an Easter treat bag!
You’ll find the crochet bunny treat bag pattern is free below, or an ad-free print friendly PDF on Ravelry, or Etsy (aff).
This sweet crochet bunny treat bag may look tiny, but you may be surprised to know that it will hold a dozen of plastic Easter eggs!
Your little ones will love toting this cute little Easter treat bag around at egg hunt events to gather eggs and candy and when Easter is done, they’ll have a fun little purse.
Yarn
Claire asked if I could make her crochet bunny treat bag fluffy so I chose to use Bernat Pipsqueak yarn. And because it’s harder to see your stitches with a yarn such as Pipsqueak, I decided to also use one strand of Caron Simply Soft.
I held together one strand of Pipsqueak yarn and one strand of Caron Simply Soft yarn for the entire crochet bunny. Holding a strand of worsted weight yarn with the Pipsqueak makes it much easier to feel the stitches and know where to crochet into the Pipsqueak.

Pattern Notes
- I tend to crochet on the tighter side, if you crochet more loosely, you may need to go down a hook size or two to crochet a bag the same size as mine.
- The entire bag is worked by holding together 1 strand of Bernat Pipsqueak & 1 strand of white Caron Simply Soft.
- The bag is worked in continuous rounds (aka a spiral) beginning at the bottom of the bag. I highly suggest using a stitch marker (I prefer to use a scrap piece of yarn) to mark the beginning/ending of each round, to keep your place.
- The bow is made using only 1 strand of soft pink.

Bunny Bag Instructions
Can’t see your stitches when working with Bernat Pipsqueak, read this! This is a great yarn, but it can be hard to see your stitches because it’s so soft and furry. So to make this project easier to work, I’ve designed it holding together 1 strand of Pipsqueak with 1 strand of Caron Simply Soft. Adding the worsted weight yarn, Caron Simply Soft, gives you the ability to be able to feel your stitches and see them just a little bit better. So, as I’m working around, I use the thumb and first finger on my non-hook hand to squeeze the top edge of my work. I’m feeling for the top loops of the stitches so that I know where to insert my hook to work the next stitch. I hope this helps you too!
Rnd 1: Hold together 1 strand of Bernat Pipsqueak & 1 strand of Caron Simply Soft & using a 5.50mm crochet hook, ch 9, 3 sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, sc in each of the next 6 chs, 3 sc in the last ch, rotate to work into the bottom of the chs, sc in each of the next 6 chs. Do not join. Read * note below. (18 sts)
This crochet bunny bag is worked in continuous rounds (aka a spiral). Place a stitch marker ( I use a 3″ scrap piece of yarn) after the last stitch of the round, before moving on to the next round. Move the marker up as you complete each round by removing it and placing it after the last st of the round just completed.
Rnd 2: ( 2 sc in the next st, 3 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 6 sts ) rep from ( to ). (26 sts)
Rnd 3: sc in each of the next 3 sts, 3 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 12 sts, 3 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 9 sts. (30 sts)
Rnd 4: sc in each of the next 3 sts, 2 sc in each of the next 3 sts, sc in each of the next 12 sts, 2 sc in each of the next 3 sts, sc in each of the next 9 sts. (36 sts)
Rnds 5 – 6: sc in each st around. (36 sts)
Rnd 7: sc in each of the next 4 sts, 2 sc in each of the next 5 sts, sc in each of the next 13 sts, 2 sc in each of the next 5 sts, sc in each of the next 9 sts. (46 sts)
Rnds 8 – 16: sc in each st around. (46 sts)
Rnd 17: sc in each of the next 5 sts, (sc2tog) 5 times, sc in each of the next 14 sts, (sc2tog) 5 times, sc in each of the next 7 sts. (36 sts)
Rnds 18 – 19: sc in each st around. (36 sts)
Rnd 20: sc in each of the next 6 sts, (sc2tog) 3 times, sc in each of the next 12 sts, (sc2tog) 3 times, sc in each of the next 6 sts. (30 sts)
Rnd 21: sc in each of the next 8 sts, loosely ch 30 (for first ear), sc in each of the next 15 sts, loosely ch 30 (for second ear), sc in each of the next 7 sts. (30 sts + 60 chs)
Rnd 22: sc in each of the next 8 sts, sc in each of the next 5 chs, dc in each of the next 20 chs, sc in each of the next 5 chs, sc in each of the next 15 sts, sc in each of the next 5 chs, dc in each of the next 20 chs, sc in each of the next 5 chs, sc in each of the next 7 sts. (90 sts)
Fasten off. Weave in all ends. Continue on to the Bunny Face Tutorial below.
Bunny Face Tutorial
Eyelashes: Hold together as one, (8) 12″ strands of black thread. Or you can also use black embroidery floss.
Crochet Bow Instructions
Rnd 1: Using a 4.00 mm crochet hook and 1 strand of soft pink yarn, leave an 8″ tail of yarn for sewing later, ch 12, 5 dc in 3rd ch from your hook, dc in each of the next 8 chs, 5 dc in the last ch, rotate to work along the bottom of the foundation ch, dc in each of the next 8 chs. Join with a sl st to the 1st st of the rnd. (26 sts)
Fasten off. Use the Invisible Join Technique to keep the edge of your bow as smooth as possible. Weave in the end from joining.
If you’re using a small slide for your bow, weave the bow through the slide now. If not, you can cinch the center of your bow by wrapping a small amount of yarn around it. Continue on to Finishing.
Finishing
Using a yarn needle and the tail of yarn you left at the beginning of round 1, sew the bow onto your bag. I prefer to position mine near one of the ears.
I MADE IT! NOW WHAT?
