Easter Crochet Patterns for Bunnies, Eggs and Baskets

Easter is the best small-project season in crochet. Everything can be finished in an afternoon, the colours are soft, and most makes end up in the hands of a child. At Crochet Needle, our Easter collection includes bunnies, chicks, eggs, baskets, garlands and quick gifts. Every pattern is an instant PDF in US terms, with stitch counts for every row and photos for the tricky steps.

Bunnies and Chicks

We have several bunny patterns: a classic sitting amigurumi in three sizes, a no-sew version worked in one piece, a baby lovey, and bunny ear headbands. The no-sew bunny is perfect if you dislike assembling amigurumi. Chicks are the best beginner project, a ball, a beak and two eyes, finished in under an hour. Lambs and ducks are here too. Every child-friendly design uses embroidered features instead of plastic eyes.

Eggs and Baskets

A plain crochet egg takes about 20 minutes. Choose from stuffed eggs, egg covers, stiffened lace eggs, and eggs that open to hide a treat, with photo steps for the join. Our baskets are worked in cotton at a tight tension so they hold their shape when filled, and a personalised version lets you add a name.

Decor, Gifts and Selling

A garland of eggs, chicks and bunnies can brighten a mantel in one evening. For gifts or market stalls, small makes like keyrings, egg cosies and mini baskets take under an hour each. Every pattern includes a small-business licence, so you can sell your finished items.

Try a chick, then an egg, a bunny ear headband and a mini basket. Four projects, about four hours, and you’ll have a full Easter set. Our free crochet patterns are another good place to begin, and Easter basket sets pair well with a crochet blanket or a few crochet granny squares for spring decor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Make two matching halves with a firm rim, then join them with a button and loop or a ribbon instead of sewing them shut.

Cotton or cotton blend in DK weight. It keeps baskets rigid and holds stitch definition. Acrylic works well for amigurumi.
