Amigurumi Today releases free bunny in carrot purse crochet pattern

A tiny bunny with a carrot purse attached is doing more than looking cute. Amigurumi Today’s free pattern turns the little rabbit, about 7 cm tall with the recommended materials, into a two-in-one project that doubles as a sleeping bag, carrying case, and playset.

That multifunctional design is the real draw. Instead of a single-purpose plush, the bunny comes with a carrot-shaped container that gives the finished piece a built-in job beyond display. A child can carry it around, tuck the bunny inside, and use the carrot as part of pretend play, which gives the project a stronger practical payoff than a standard amigurumi toy. For gift makers, that means one make can serve as a toy, storage piece, and story prop at the same time.

The pattern is also positioned as approachable. Amigurumi Today rates it easy, and the materials list stays straightforward: fine 100% acrylic yarn, a 2.0 mm Tulip hook, half-beads or safety eyes, fiberfill, embroidery floss for the face, a 12 mm button for the purse, plus a needle and scissors. That mix makes the project accessible for beginners and casual makers who want a quick finish without giving up a polished result.

Amigurumi Today released the pattern on May 17, 2026, and made the free version available through sign-in or registration. A printable PDF version is also listed in the shop, giving makers a paid option if they want a downloadable format. The site frames the bunny as a fit for market prep, Easter baskets, and quick weekend gifts, which gives the design broader seasonal range than a holiday-only pattern.

The release also fits neatly into Amigurumi Today’s larger catalog. The site says it offers 220+ free amigurumi patterns and lists 374 patterns overall, while describing itself as a home for crochet lovers and fans of amigurumi art. The bunny appears across the Bunnies, Easter crochet, Plants, and main patterns pages, showing how the design is being placed to reach multiple corners of the crochet community. In a crowded amigurumi field, the carrot purse gives this bunny a clear edge: it is small, giftable, and built to do more than sit on a shelf.
