• Mini chocolate eggs or other small treats to fill
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Size

Pattern

This pattern is written in UK terminology:

• tr = treble crochet
• sc = single crochet
• ch = chain

Working in the Round

Using yellow yarn:

• Chain 4, join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
• Round 1: Ch3, make 9 tr into the ring, slip stitch to join (10 sts).
• Round 2: Ch3, make 2 tr in each stitch all around, join with slip stitch (20 sts).
• Round 3: Ch3, 1 tr in the next stitch, *1 tr in next stitch, 2 tr in next stitch; repeat from * all around, join with slip stitch (30 sts).
• Round 4: Ch3, 1 tr in each stitch all around, join with slip stitch (30 sts).
• Rounds 5–10: Repeat Round 4 (30 sts each round).
• Round 11: Change to green yarn — Ch3, 1 tr in each stitch all around, join with slip stitch (30 sts).
• Round 12: Change to white yarn — Ch1, 1 sc in each stitch all around, join with slip stitch (30 sts).
• Round 13: Change to pink yarn — Ch1, 1 sc in each stitch all around, join with slip stitch (30 sts).

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Make Small Flowers

Using white yarn:

• Chain 3 and join with a slip stitch to make a small ring.
• Round 1: Ch2, work 2 tr into the ring, slip stitch into the ring, then repeat [3 tr, slip stitch into the ring] four more times. (You will have 5 little petals.)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Drawstring Cord

Using pink yarn:

• Make a crochet chain cord long enough to thread around the pouch (approx. long enough to tie a bow).
• Thread the cord in and out through Round 10 of the pouch, then tie in a bow to close.
• Weave in any loose ends.
• To finish, push each end of the cord into the centre of a flower from the back to the front and tie a small knot to secure the flower to the cord.

Fill with Mini Easter Eggs

Your Crochet Easter Mini Egg Pouch Bag is ready — fill it with mini chocolate eggs or small treats and close with the drawstring. These make lovely personalised gifts or cute additions to an Easter egg hunt.

Tips & Variations

• Use a stitch marker to mark the start of rounds if you prefer continuous rounds instead of joining with slip stitches.
• Change colours anywhere to match your theme — pastels are perfect for Easter.
• To make the pouch firmer, use a smaller hook or a slightly thicker yarn.
• Add a lining if you want extra durability for food items or small toys.
