    • Weave in and out of ch-1 spaces from Round 10.
  4. Fill with treats and pull up to close!

Pattern Correction

  • Be sure to join each round to the first actual dc, not the starting chain.
  • Ears are worked over 11 sts on each side.
  • The stitch count after round 3 and in subsequent rounds should remain 36.

Tips

  • For taller pouch, increase the number of rounds before working the eyelet row.
  • Swap hook size or yarn weight to increase/decrease finished pouch size.
  • Use a tightly wound acrylic for best stitch definition and standing shape.
  • For a classic pouch (no bunny), stop after Round 11 and add a plain sc round as finishing.

Conclusion

Congratulations! Your bunny pouch is ready for Easter treats or to brighten anyone’s day. This quick make is ideal for gifting or for festive decor. Adjust size, color, or finishing touches as you wish, and enjoy countless creative possibilities.
