Crochet Bunny Pencil Holder

Have you been soaking up all the sunlight and enjoying the warmer weather over the summer holiday? As much as we’d like to spend more time sleeping in or chilling by the beach, we must start planning for the back to school season. To help you with the stressful chore, I’ve prepared a bunny pencil holder crochet pattern for you to craft for, or with, your kids! Its Easter bunny outlook makes it an excellent gift for bunny lovers. 

Preparing your child to head back to school is no easy task. It’s hard to break it to them that all the fun and play is over, and it’s time to start waking up early, reduce gaming sessions, and control screen time. I can sense the look of disappointment already. I am not looking forward to that! 

As parents, we need to be there to support the kids emotionally and mentally. Help make the reminding of their holiday memorable by involving them in activities. Bring them shopping for new school supplies, show them how you’re going to prepare their lunch box, or start a homework routine by reading a book or learning about a topic they’re passionate about.

If they’re interested in learning how to craft, or specifically, crochet, show them this Crochet Pencil Holder in Bunny figure! Even though this is a beginner’s level craft project, it’ll make things easier if you’re well-versed with crochet terms.

Each crochet project consists of the use of crochet stitches, which you are required to understand. The only tools and materials you need to start with are crochet hooks and some yarns. Take note that the type of yarn you choose does matter. We have a guide for Crochet For Beginners, feel free to read up for more info.

If you are a beginner, using light-colored cotton yarns is recommended. By using a light color yarn, we can easily see each yarn strand in the crochet stitches. Thus, this makes it easier for us to determine where the hook should go in.

Lightweight yarns are suitable for crocheting more delicate items like socks or shawls. Meanwhile, bulky yarns will make the final product appear larger and heavier and is ideal for making baskets or rugs. Once you are familiar with the basics, you’ll be able to create useful and attractive objects such as; Accessories, clothes, soft toys, baskets, handbags, and more. 

If you’re looking for a plastic bottle upcycling idea or just a tutorial to teach your child how to crochet, you’ve found the right place. This Easter-inspired crochet bunny pencil holder would be a great pattern to teach your child. As the name suggests, I used this cute pencil holder to store my stationery. However, you could use it to store other items such as flowers or utensils as well.

Instead of the usual poly-fill material you see inside an amigurumi like Ichigo-chan, this crochet pencil holder could act as a beautiful cover for your used empty plastic bottle. 

As a beginner, I suggest choosing a similar bottle size to follow the exact instructions. However, please feel free to adjust your rounds to follow the bottle’s contour and size if you’re an advanced crocheter. I made my crochet pencil holder into a bunny crochet pattern so you could use it as an Easter craft too! 

Basically, you would first crochet a base according to your bottle’s size, then work your way up to complete the body. I changed my yarn midway to a different color, but you could stick to only one color all the way through – that is entirely up to your preference! To keep things simple, you could crochet just the body of this bunny pencil holder. If you wish to follow through with this bunny crochet pattern, continue with the ear pattern, attach the mini pom-pom and get your wiggly eyes, multipurpose adhesive tape, tapestry needle, and scissors out!
