Easter Crochet Patterns

I have been searching for Easter decorations that are not egg cozies (because we don't eat that many boiled eggs) or baskets in our house and I have had a hard time finding any.

 I did however find some gems I thought I would share with you (and me next year). 

Some patterns are just for fun, but some are useful and I did share a egg cozy or two too, because one is useful even if you only eat boiled egg once in Easter.

All patterns are free and the pictures are taken from the links.

Bunnybutt bySteenistugan

This pattern is really fun, it is in Swedish however, but I am sure with a little help from Google you could make this. I think I will make these, so many patterns so little time... 

(Just remember that bunnies don't have the pink on the bottom of their soles.)

Easter Bunny basket or doily by MammaNicole

Another favourite, I really need a bunny doily or two, maybe I should go buy some sweet dusty pink or light blue yarn for this, white is a classic but I would rather have them in colours, usually colours I don't have so I have to buy more stash;)
This pattern seems to just have a diagram.

The Green Dragonfly

 Bunnies are also very Easter-y and I love these little dudes, they seem easy and fun, since they don't look very natural you could go berserk with colours to make them really spring into spring-y-ness.

Crochet Egg Cozy Pattern by Kara

Here is the coolest egg cozy I saw, it looks really useful and decorative and fun but you better hurry up and eat your eggs or they will get cold with this particular pattern.

Easter Egg Coaster by Doni Speigle

I made these for my friend Evi for Christmas so I can recommend this pattern, it was easy and fun and I could use up some scraps. The white thread in-between is carried over so there is less yarn to sew in in the end which is always a good thing.

Amigurumi Hatching Easter Chicks by Toma Creations Blog

I remember in Kindergarten we made decorations like these with real egg shells and pom poms, mine is looking rather sorry now and I think it might be time for a crochet one, might last longer, but it needs shell on the top of the head as well, mine in kindergarten did.

EasterBunny Mug Cozy by Haak Maar Raak

If I didn't already have a yellow Easter bunny mug I would make this, although come to think of it, this could go as a everyday mug cozy too, I think I need this on my list after all.

Drops Chick bookmark

A bookmark, In Norway Easter is the season we eat eggs but also we read crime books, go cross country skiing in the mountains and have lots of oranges and chocolate so a bookmark is most useful.

Kvikk Lunsj blue by Herdagsmagi

This is the chocolate most Norwegians eat lots of in Easter, so I had to add a pattern of this hat, it is in Norwegian though but free, so just try and see if you can crochet it ^^

Henny Penny

My friend Tinkerbell and I had a teacher named Penny in high school and I remember we called her Henny Penny Filli Fenny.

I don't think she liked it much, but she never said anything.

This is useful, look, it is for bread and stuff, I eat bread more than I eat boiled eggs.

Drops Sunny Morning Doily

A doily is always useful, if I had proper yellow yarn I am sure I would make this, and a doily that is not so fragile looking were you don't use a tiny needle is more up my alley anyway. I love the look of the thin thread, I just don't have the patience or fingers for it.

Drops Sunny Side Up

Another useful kitchen item, this is not just for Easter, it is a fun pot holder, I do love fried eggs and I eat that a lot with bacon. Omnomnom.

Drops Kikiri-Key

 This little chick pretends he is all useful and all, but a Key fob just for Easter seems a bit excessive in my book, but you could always use him for something else, although nothing useful comes to mind. Mind you he could always just be decorative.

Chicken Vanes

 Another decorative chicken, but I am sure you could adapt this into another pot holder if you really want something useful.

Did you find anything you liked? Did your to-do list grow as much as mine did? Think you could finish all this easter?

Happy Halloween

I gave bribed the bunnies with a lofty and I got to take a few pictures.

Want to see some of the Halloween-y things I am making?

 I made a small ghost from Simply Crochet magazine, don't remember the number though, I plan to make more in scrap yarn and make a garland or something....

M and I have this cumbersome duvet cover that was broken, after mending it but making the hole too small to fit the duvet in I decided to repurpose it. It is now our Halloween table cloths;) I just ripped it in the pieces I wanted and we now have four table cloths and a spare thing that I draped over a chair. Our house is looking very festive.

This is my dentist yarn. I have bought some more as prizes for going to the dentist, would you believe I had four cavities one on each side so the dentist recommended we took them one each time, good thing too because last time I had to have five shots of painkillers, I shudder to think what would happen if I did all teeth at once, I would have 30 shots:O

This will turn into a table runner. the pattern is free from red heart. I hope I will have enough yarn, and maybe next halloween it will be finished,

Picture from red heart.

Some other things I did to make the house more festive was to use some paper and make appropriate figures and mount them in the window. When the light is on you can see them as dark shadows on the windows. I thought that looked rather fun. I found that idea on the internet, as well as my next one.

Idea number two also involved paper, a rather inexpensive way to make some festive sights, I made a ghost and a skeleton face on some of our sliding doors. I loved this idea and we have had it like this for the past week. I like to decorate after the seasons, but tomorrow I am taking it all down.

Oh, and my first knitting adventure is finished! I made a pair of socks! They are almost identical, they fit the recipient and I have yarn to spare! Now there's another gift done in time for Christmas, and I finished within socktober too. 

I have started my next pair already, I will master this knitting of socks skill.

We are finally finished, what hasn't been done by now won't happen.

That awfulness with the pamphlet that didn't want to print has finally been sorted. Folded and all.

So that is finally ready.

The plates are ready.

The tables are ready! In the windows we added the crochet buntings I made earlier this year. 

This is boyfriend and me.

Here is were the buffet will be. Don't we look cute?

Some leftover rabbit napkins on the piano.

And everyone commented  on how much me it turned out. And it only took us four hours!

Thank you very much to all that helped. I am going to wash my hair and go to bed!

Todays show and tell is a finish.

My mother and I did the last of the decorations.

So now we have Mason Jars with star light inside and bunny jars with lights and eight jam jars with heart bands on them and two of those even have a flower.

The idea is to have a light in each jar and have them on the tables while we eat. The larger jars have LED-lights in them so there is no fire hazard.

Here is the finished jars. And those bands took forever to make.

I still have some leftover yarn and I think I'll continue to make flowers and leaves so that they can be scattered all over the tables.

And I settled on a shawl. My mother knitted this for me last year, but so late in the season that I didn't really wear it. The other day I blocked it thoroughly and my mother just gave med the leftover yarn so I'll make the border a little bigger I think because it has a tendency to still curl around.

And then I will be done.

Boyfriend still has a project that I hope to show off tomorrow. But I am going to remove my nail polish now so that my nails are easy to fix later.
