~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Easter - of course there have to be bunnies!
very small ones, like these colorful little bunnies


which are very easy to crochet and look very decorative on an Easter branch,

or larger ones, like these bunny egg cozies,

that will brighten up any breakfast table during the Easter season,

or real cuddly bunnies,


like the white bunny Purzel, which is crocheted from fluffy yarn and is truly plush.

All the bunnies are not difficult to crochet and can be made from leftover yarn. For the smaller ones, tiny amounts of just a few grams are enough; for Purzel's fur, you need just under one skein of the fluffy yarn.

Easter time—springtime—the first little flowers are already peeking out of the ground. Using a bit of leftover yarn, you can crochet various flower children with their flowers. They make a beautiful decoration for the Easter table, but they’ll also brighten up your home before and after Easter!

The first spring flowers are:
pussy willow,

the daisy ,


the cowslip,

the snowdrop, and the bellflower
All the flower children are about 13 cm tall and hold their own blossoms. They have movable arms and legs, so they can be posed in various positions. All the flower children were crocheted from cotton scraps. I used Catania by Schachenmayr for this project.

Of course, little Easter lambs are a must for Easter too!
Here’s a pattern for a particularly cute one to crochet. If you use thick enough yarn, you can even add a music box inside. I used Phil douce fluffy yarn from Phildar—it’s nice and thick and cuddly soft. Stitch markers will help you keep track of your work while crocheting, so working with this fluffy yarn isn’t too difficult.
But of course, you can also crochet the lamb using a different yarn (e.g., an acrylic yarn like Bravo by Schachenmayr). Otherwise, crocheting the lamb isn’t hard, since it’s made entirely of single crochet stitches, and the pattern describes each row in detail.

Click here to access the pattern.

Little kids love finger puppets. While they often can’t hold large hand puppets with their tiny fingers yet, that’s no problem with finger puppets. You just slip them onto your fingers or a pencil, and the puppet show can begin!

Here, you can crochet an entire family of bunnies for Easter using leftover yarn. In the run-up to Easter, they can tell stories about the Easter bunnies’ preparations for the holiday: painting eggs, making Easter baskets, and preparing delicious chocolate eggs! After Easter, they can take on the roles of forest dwellers and share tales of life in the woods and fields, or funny stories from family life.

The bunnies aren’t hard to crochet, so they’re suitable even for beginners. Click here for the pattern!

Do you still need some pretty packaging for small Easter gifts? Then this little Easter pouch is just the thing.

Once finished, the bag is approximately 24 cm tall and 13 cm wide. (When using the specified hook size and yarn weight)
You’ll receive a detailed 13-page pattern with plenty of photos to help you crochet it quickly. Suitable for advanced crocheters.

Required skills:
The pattern does not include a beginner’s tutorial. You should already know single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, cluster stitches, chain stitches, and slip stitches.

You’ll also need:

• Crochet with yarn, hook size 3–4, yarn length 133 m / 50 g. In this case, I used “Lisa uni” by Gründl in white and beige, 1 skein of each
• Plus, leftover yarn in various colors for the butterflies
• Size 3.5 crochet hook
• 1 pair of safety eyes, size 9 mm
• Darning needle, stuffing

Both the PDF pattern for the potholder and the pattern for the crochet flower(s) are illustrated step by step.

Material:
For 1 standard-size potholder, 21 cm x 21 cm:

For the flower(s), a leftover ball of cotton yarn is enough, e.g. Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl) for crochet hook size 2.5 - 3.5.
