Skill Level, Size & Materials
This crochet backpack bunny pattern is rated intermediate level. You’ll need to be comfortable working in continuous rounds, rows, increases, decreases, and basic amigurumi shaping.
Recommended Materials:
- Super bulky velvet yarn (e.g., Himalaya Dolphin Baby) – 2 colors

- Stuffing and yarn needle
The finished backpack measures 21 cm (8.2”) wide and 24 cm (9.4”) high.
Crochet Bunny Backpack Flap
The flap is worked in rows using pink yarn and gradually increases to form a rounded top. You’ll begin with 5 single crochets and expand evenly across multiple rows to create a wide curved flap.
After shaping, switch to purple yarn and work a decorative round with reverse single crochet for a polished edge. This gives the backpack a professional handmade finish.
How to Crochet the Backpack Body
The backpack base is started with a foundation chain and worked in continuous rounds to create an oval shape. Strategic increases build the width, while a back-loop-only round forms a clean structural edge.
The body is worked straight for height before slight decreases shape the upper section. The flap is then joined seamlessly to the backpack body for a cohesive design.
This construction creates a sturdy yet soft plush backpack perfect for little ones.
Adding Straps, Handle & Drawstring Cord
The straps are worked in rows and can be customized to your desired length. The sample straps measure approximately 50 cm long, making them toddler-friendly.
Sew the straps securely between specific body rounds to ensure durability. Add the top handle and a long chain cord woven through the upper rounds to create a functional drawstring closure.
Finally, sew a wooden button onto the front for a sweet decorative detail.
Crochet Bunny Head (Amigurumi Style)
The bunny head is worked in continuous rounds using milk-colored yarn. Standard amigurumi increases shape the sphere before decreases close the head.
Insert safety eyes between rounds 4 and 5 and place the safety nose in the center. Embroider a small pink mouth before fully securing the nose backing for the cutest expression.
Stuff firmly and sew the head securely onto the flap.
Bunny Ears & Final Details
The ears are crocheted with a 5 mm hook using half double crochet stitches for a slightly elongated shape. Gradual decreases taper the ear naturally before folding and closing the base.
Sew the ears onto the head and embroider delicate lashes using black cotton thread. These small details bring personality and charm to your plush bunny backpack.
And just like that — your crochet bunny backpack is complete!
