The table runner with the Easter motif is easy to crochet, since it uses only double crochets and chain stitches. The resulting openwork pattern makes the project go quickly.

A chart is provided for the pattern; however, each row is also written out stitch by stitch so you can follow along.

The table runner measures about 34 x 100 cm, but you can easily make it shorter or longer by omitting or adding a full or partial pattern repeat.

The “Easter Egg” pot holder, featuring a tulip pattern in fresh spring colors, is another project that quickly leads to a sense of accomplishment.

It’s crocheted in double layers so you can slip your hand right through it. For one pot holder, you’ll need about 25 g of white cotton yarn (125 m / 50 g) and about 6 g of green and 20 g of purple (or pink or yellow—whatever color you choose for the tulips). This project is also perfect for using up cotton yarn scraps.
