Till the back-to-school, I will continue sharing more crochet backpack tutorials. Today, I am featuring a tutorial for my FAVORITE crochet bag variation – the crochet bunny ear backpack but with 2 COOL NEW features. That is going to be the use of fuzzy yarn (scrubbie yarn) along with the chenille pastel rainbow yarn instead of hollow cotton or cotton yarn to give it that fluffy and colorful finish.
In fact, we will use three types of yarn: chenille yarn, fuzzy yarn (for white edging), and eyelash yarn. With this, we shall end up with a 27cm by 20cm flapped bunny bag with a drawstring closure whose strings can be knotted as a bow.
The idea is to use the eyelash yarn and chenille yarn together to lightly add the white fuzz in every row. Continue reading to learn more about this quick back-to-school project that you can do for a little girl. You can also put an actual crocheted or store-bought bunny gift inside.
Tutorial to Crochet the Fuzzy Yarn Backpack for Kids
This adorable crochet bunny backpack features a soft, textured body made by combining plush chenille yarn with fluffy eyelash yarn for a extra cozy finish. The bag is constructed starting with an oval base reinforced with plastic canvas to hold its shape, transitioning into a spacious bucket-style body topped with a cinched drawstring closure.
It includes functional shoulder straps, a top carry handle, and a decorative flap edged with fuzzy yarn that holds two floppy bunny ears. Perfect for kids or whimsical accessory lovers, the completed backpack measures roughly 27 cm wide by 20 cm tall and combines durability with an exceptionally cute aesthetic.
