With Easter around the corner, I thought it would be fun to make a little crochet carrot pouch that you could fill with a special treat! This would also make a cute prop accessory for those of you who are making my crochet bunny hat and diaper cover set 🙂
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn in orange and green (I used Loops & Threads Impeccable for the orange part and Vanna’s Choice in Fern for the green. www.LionBrand.com)
– Size J Hook
– Tapestry Needle
Abbreviations:
Magic Ring – Tutorial HERE
Sl St = Slip Stitch
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
Ch = Chain
SC decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
Crochet Carrot Pouch Pattern:
Magic ring, chain 1 in ring, 4 SC in magic ring
You will work in continues rounds (do not join each round). Use a stitch marker if needed.
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (6 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (8 SC)
Round 5: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 7: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Round 8: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (16 SC)
Round 9-19: SC in each stitch around (16 SC)
Round 20: SC decrease, SC in next 6, repeat around
Round 21: SC in each stitch around (14 SC)
Change color to green
Round 22: SC in each stitch around around, join to first SC, chain 2 (14 SC)
Round 23: DC in each stitch around, join to first DC, chain 1 (14 DC)
Round 24-25: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (14 SC)
Round 26: DC in first stitch, HDC in next, SC in next, Sl St in next, SC in next, HDC in next, repeat around. (At the end you will SC at the bottom of the chain 2 and fasten off since you won’t be able to make the last slip stitch).
Fill carrot with a treat. I used orange jelly beans but you could put in goldfish, gummy bears or anything you’d like! I recommend packaging food items in a plastic bag first.
Thread green ribbon or a couple strands of yarn between the DC stitches in round 23. Tie tightly in a bow!

I made about 20 of the Valentine "hugs and kisses" bags. I happen to have orange yarn so now I'm going to make the carrot treat bags. Thanks so much for all your patterns. They are adorable, fast and fun.

awesome. I'm on my third one tonight. I love your blog!
Lovely idea, thank you very much!
Adorable! Thanks again Sarah! (How did I miss the "hugs and kisses" bag?) Ellie
I guess its cuz im new at this but. Lost when I dont join each round. Im stuck there what do I do?
Instead of joining each round,like you would with a slip stitch, work your next stitch into that first stitch of each round ..just keep going around with the sc pattern in orange
Such adorable carrot pouch. I definitely pined it to my crochet board and thanks for sharing Sarah!
Thanks for the pattern, when my son gets older I will make this one for a simple game. You got me really inspired Sarah. I'm a blogger from the Philippines. =)
so cute! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for the cute pattern, and all the others! Love your blog, also a great place for recipes :). This blog is wonderful for a university student with a crockpot and a closet of hooks and yarn like myself 🙂
I've been crocheting some carrots to use up some orange yarn, but not little pouches, brilliant! I'm thinking I could make some really huge versions to fill with healthy treats for Purim! Craft schooling Sunday has resumed after a 2 month break, would love to see you there!
very cute….brilliant idea….
for how much cost we can sold this kind of pouches in market
Hi, thanks for sharing this cute pattern. I did something different for the carrot leaves and it came out really cute so I though I would share it with you. So this is what I did:
I stopped at round 24 and did the following instead: when finishing round 23, join with a slip stitch and *(chain 11, sc in 2nd Ch from hook, Ch 1, sc on each of the 9 remaining ch's, sc in next 2 dc) repeat from * 6 more times. You will have 7 leaves. After last leaf, sc in any remaining dc's, finish off and weave in ends. Follow remaining instructions from original pattern.
. I think you will like my carrot top so try it out. And thanks again for the pattern and inspiration.
