Anyone who enjoys eggs for breakfast is sure to love these beautiful crocheted flower-shaped egg cozies: snowdrops, bellflowers, tulips, and daffodils—it’s like bringing a whole spring meadow to the breakfast table! Even if you don’t like eggs, you can use these flowers as table decorations. And on Easter morning, why not hide a little sweet surprise underneath one?
To make one egg cozy, you’ll need about 20–30 g of cotton yarn (125 m/50 g) in the main color, a tiny scrap of green yarn, and a 2.5 mm crochet hook.
Get started right away and crochet all 4 flowers—then you’ll always have a lovely little gift in spring!
You can download the pattern here!

Somehow bunnies just belong to Easter – maybe because they’re heralds of spring? Hedgehogs also announce spring when they wake up from hibernation. Why not simply knit this adorable pair for yourselves! With the detailed step-by-step pattern, it’s much easier than you might think, and of course there are photos to help you follow along.
Bunny Julius and hedgehog lady Moni are available as a value set, but also individually.

Here’s the value set: CLICK!

A great Easter gift




Materials:
  • Yarn, approx. 133 m
  • Knitting needles, size 2
  • Scissors
  • Sewing needle
  • Sewing thread
  • possibly snaps
A sweater to knit for someone who feels confident enough to try it. Tip:
  • Use the other end of the yellow yarn from the same ball or a second ball
  • When changing colors: lay the first strand down, then place the other strand over it and work with that
  • Stockinette stitch = all stitches appear as knit stitches on the right side

Crochet pattern: Door Wreath
A beautiful, romantic wreath—not just for Easter. Also great as a door wreath, table decoration, or wall wreath. A real eye-catcher!
The crochet pattern is simple and suitable even for beginners. The step-by-step pattern includes plenty of pictures. Basic crochet skills are required! Required skills: magic ring, single crochet, crocheting in the round, decreases and increases, and color changes.

Crochet pattern for Spring Basket
With this basket, you’ll crochet a beautiful decoration that helps keep things organized. Not just for Easter! My mom got one that she uses to store candy.
The step-by-step crochet pattern, written in German, describes over 11 pages how to make the basket with a lining. The pattern is illustrated with many pictures.
Materials: Approx. 50 g Schachenmayr Catania 125 m/50 g, colors: 00280 (dandelion) and 00205 (apple), a little white, 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm crochet hooks. Of course, you can use other yarns as well, but the size of the basket will change.

These sweet little bunnies will make your Easter decor perfect, whether as egg cozies, flower picks, or decorative figures. ....or maybe as a sweet little gift for Easter breakfast...?The size varies depending on the yarn used, from approx. 10 cm to 18 cm. The adorable bunnies are very quick to crochet, and the pattern is written in great detail, with lots of pictures on 12 pages. The bunnies are crocheted in one piece, so there is no annoying sewing on of body parts*
  • A crochet hook 2-3, depending on the yarn used
  • Yarn: you can use any yarn you like, but ideally it should be a cotton yarn. For the yellow egg cozy, I used Lieblingsfarben No. 2 by myboshi. I crocheted the smaller bunnies with Schoeller + Stahl S + S Limone 50g = 125m 50g=115m, this high-quality all-purpose cotton yarn
You can also use any yarn from your stash that matches in color, but you need to keep in mind that this will change the size of the finished figure. My figures made from myboshi Lieblingsfarben No. 2 are approx. 18 cm tall. The decorative bunnies/flower picks made from S+S Limone are approx. 14 cm tall. You need 1x50g in your main color for one bunny
  • Black sewing thread for the embroidery on the face (I used the sewing thread 4 strands together). If you use a different yarn, you may need to adjust the yarn quantities.
  • A darning needle for weaving in ends
  • Scissors
  • A row marker or a thread in a contrasting color to mark the beginning of each round
  • Sewing thread in a matching color to sew on the eyes and the tail.
  • Stuffing
  • Small black beads for the eyes
  • Craft pliers
  • Possibly small flowers, beads, sequins ...to decorate your figure
  • Satin ribbons
  • Wooden skewers for the flower picks (I used discarded knitting needles)
To crochet the bunnies, you need to know the following:

An Easter basket filled with treats is simply a must for Easter! This one even has the Easter Bunny sitting inside!

The bunny and the Easter basket are crocheted using Estivo II by Lana Grossa, a fluffy yarn where you can still clearly see the individual stitches. For the bunny’s basket and the eggs, I used tiny amounts of leftover yarn.

The Easter basket is lined and reinforced with felt and colorful cotton fabric. There’s currently a 40% discount on this pattern! So, let’s get started:

Aren’t they beautiful? You can give these egg cups empty or together with your pretty painted Easter eggs—they’re sure to bring lots of joy and admiration.

 

The cups are made of photo cardstock, are approx. 8 cm tall, and are very easy to craft. To make sure everything fits together in the end and the cups stand straight, you’ll need to work accurately, but the templates are so precise that it’s not particularly difficult.

How about these flower picks for Easter? They not only decorate flower pots and Easter wreaths, but can also be used in an Easter bouquet.

To crochet these, all you need is leftover yarn and a Styrofoam ball or, alternatively, stuffing. Even ambitious beginners can crochet the bunny and sheep, because you only need chain stitches, slip stitches, and single crochet stitches.

This Easter gift is clever. First, the Easter Bunny gives it to you filled with sweets. The Easter Bunny even places the beautiful Easter nests on the Easter table as decorations.

And once all the sweets have gradually been eaten, the owner of the Easter nest has a beautiful and practical little bag. They can now keep their treasures in it.

You can crochet the little bags in 2 sizes. Of course, everyone wants a large one for their Easter nest! If later on you want to give away something small, for example, a small little bag is enough. You can always find a use and fans for them.



You can use any yarns - even from your leftover stash - that can be worked with a size 2 or 2.5 crochet hook.

Click here and you’ll go directly to the pattern.

I hope you have lots of fun with this project and wish you a happy Easter! Yours, Ina

PS. It can also be more rustic and colorful; here it’s made from colorful sock yarn. You can add the tassel at the bottom, but you don’t have to.

Click here and you’ll go directly to the pattern!


I hope you have lots of fun with this project. Yours, Ina



P.S. And if you ever need a large basket in this style, I recommend this one. As you can see, mine is perfect for my yarn and current project.

    You can give this colorful meadow with egg cozies, a placemat, and floral decorations to loved ones for Easter, either individually or as a set. You’re sure to bring them lots of joy.

    In the pattern you’ll find several variations as ideas, for example the “cheeky boys” as egg cozies for little or big boys. The girls will probably prefer flower decorations. Butterflies also work very well as decorations, both on the egg cozies and on the spring meadow. Just let your imagination run wild.

    You can use up lots of colorful leftovers here, even tiny scraps for the flowers.
    The pattern is very easy for beginners to make, as long as they have basic knowledge.

    To make things easier, I’ve placed most of the photos on pages that don’t need to be printed out. Also, the complete pattern is written without abbreviations.
