Here’s a quick and cute bunny project that is perfect for Easter or any gift giving occasion. Crochet Bunny Pockets work up in one piece and have a cute little pouch that is the perfect size for a gift card or fun size candies! This pattern is a simplified version of my Gingerbread Man Gift Card Holder that I made over the holidays. That pattern was such a huge hit, I knew I needed to do more with it!.
Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Perfect Pink, Pale Yellow, Pale Plum, and Aruba Sea + White for tail.
There are so many more shades to choose from HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
