Well, butter my biscuit and color me surprised! I recently tripped down a rabbit hole (pun fully intended!) and what did I find? An irresistibly cute Triple Bunny Dango crochet pattern. It’s like a triple treat for the soul! Crocheting these little bun-buns brings back memories of those fun-filled Easter hunts with my kiddos, where we’d search high and low for those hidden treasures.
Now, I’ve seen many patterns in my time, but this one – oh, it takes the carrot cake! The little floppy ears, the charming tails, all bundled into one delightful dango. The joy I felt as I saw them hop off my hook and into existence… Well, words can hardly describe! I reckon it’s not just about the crochet – it’s the stories, memories, and giggles that come with it.
So, if you’re looking for a project that’ll not only delight your fingers but also warm your heart, the Triple Bunny Dango’s calling out to you. Dive right in, and let your imagination hop wild!

We go over the stitch twice. Repeat the steps for the white part and green part.
- For the white part: the nose is between rounds 26 and 27, vertical line over rounds 27 to 28, and the cheek blush between rounds 26 and 27.
