We’ve had a lovely week here in the south of England, still
quite chill but with lots of blue skies and sunshine, so it’s started to feel
like spring – some of the muddy paths on my regular dog walks have even started
to dry up! However, I still can’t believe it’s only a week until Easter. I
thought I’d put together a list of my patterns that might be good to make for
Easter, maybe as a substitute for one more chocolate egg, or as little extras
in an Easter basket. I’ve also picked a few that make me think of spring, and
getting outside to enjoy nature. Just click on the name to go to the patterns.
This is a pattern that allows you to make a cute lamb or rabbit,
with the choice to have them wearing a dress/skirt or a sweater (jumper in the
UK, hence the name). They’re about 6.5” tall (not including the rabbit’s ears)
and would make a great Easter gift.
I originally designed these at Easter, the idea is that they’re
egg-shaped, but also that I associate gnomes with gardening, and spring is when
all the flowers start to appear. I think they’d be great to make as a gift with
some packets of seeds and some plant pots or garden tools.
This pattern to make a set of crocheted mini creatures also
reminds of spring, and children getting outside and exploring. Make it so you
don’t end up with the real creatures in your house!
This is a very simple free pattern to make a cute little egg
friend for Easter. I made a set of six for each of my boys and put them in old
egg boxes, and they went on all sorts of adventures together!
Here’s a free pattern to make a little Easter bunny – you can
make it in natural colours, or go for spring pastels, or even make it look like
a chocolate bunny.
Tiny Chick
Very quick and easy to make, imagine lots of these on the breakfast table on Easter Sunday.
I haven’t seen any lambs in the fields yet, but here’s a
free pattern to make a tiny little sheep, perfect for all us yarn lovers.
