DIY: Crochet Bunny Containers

-
EN

Firstly: rest in peace J. Cruijff, a Dutch legendary football player. Your dead came so unexpected. I was sitting on the public bus today and overheard someone saying “a footballer died today huh?!”, never knew it was Cruijff that the person was talking about until I came home and saw it on the news.

Ok.
Lets make mini stuffed bunny for Easter! All you need for this DIY is basic amigurumi crochet skills and a Kinder Egg plastic shell. And you don’t even need fibre stuffing either! Maybe a stuffed bunny with chocolate eggs inside.

Happy to have a long Easter weekend break this upcoming one!

Allereerst: rust in vrede J. Cruijff! Je dood was onverwachts. Ik zat namelijk vandaag in de bus en hoorde iemand zeggen “een voetballer is overleden hè?!”. Ik wist niet over wie ze het hadden maar eenmaal toen ik thuis kwam en het nieuws zag wist ik het.

Laten we een zacht en lief mini konijntje haken voor Pasen! Alles wat je nodig hebt voor deze DIY is je basic amigurumi skills en een Kinder Surprise Ei maar dan het plastic omhulseltje. Je hebt geen vulling nodig maar misschien wel een gevuld konijntje met chocolade eieren binnen.

Alvast een fijn lang paasweekend allemaal!

A piece of nostalgia in my hand these Kinder Egg! The plastic container that holds the toy got a little upgrade it seems because they all have a hinge.

Step by step



You need
2.5 mm hook pen, cotton yarn (I used Phildar Cotton 3), pair of scissors
Body

R1. Magic loop + 6 ch
R2. 2x sc in each stitch (12)
R3. 1x sc, 2x sc (18)
R4. 1x sc, 1x sc, 2x sc (24)
R5 - R11. 1x sc (24)
R12. chain extra, turn your work and single crochet in the next 3 stitches (this will be the hinge). Add 21 chains and connect with the last chain with the beginning stitch of this row. There, you have a circle now!
R13 - R17. turn your work again and 1x sc (24)
R18. 1x sc, 1x sc, 1x dec (18)
R19. 1x sc, 1x dec (12)
R20. 1x dec (6), leave a tail and seam off the small hole.

Ears - make two

R1. start with a good tail and chain 11
R2. (start in the 10th st) dc in the next 2 st , hdc in the next 3 st, sc in next 4 st, slst in last st
R3. turn where we are crocheting around our by sc all stitches. Except the top stitch (top of the ear): 3x sc in that stitch then continue 1x sc till the end. Leave a tail.

Attach the ears to the body by knotting the 2 tails together.

My Easter chocolate for this year are almonds dipped chocolate with cinnamon and icing sugar coating.

It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post.

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na e...

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
