You’ll receive a detailed PDF pattern (10 pages) with text and
over 30 step-by-step photos. The pattern also includes a print-friendly

The models were crocheted using Catania yarn and a 2.5 mm hook.

The bunnies are 7 cm tall, and the carrots are 5 cm long.

Easter wouldn’t be complete without bunnies, of course! Here I’m showing you two patterns for bunnies that will still be dearly loved even after Easter.
First there is
Purzel, the white little bunny
 Purzel is 30 cm tall and crocheted from fluffy yarn. To make it easier for you to see the stitches with this yarn, it’s best to use a thin white cotton yarn as a carry-along thread. Then crocheting with fluffy yarn is child’s play!
Purzel wears blue overalls with little pink hearts and comes with a pink basket with crocheted Easter eggs.
After Easter, Purzel is mainly used for cuddling and playing.

Another little bunny that will still find many friends after Easter is

Nikolausi-Osterhasi
which can be turned into a Santa in the blink of an eye:

The reversible doll is crocheted from cotton yarn (Catania); fluffy yarn is only needed for the fur parts and the beard.
During the rest of the year, you can play with the bunny and use it as decoration during Easter and Advent.

Knitted wool chickens are a great kitchen decoration for Easter!

to the pattern for knitted wool chickens

These two beauties are made from smooth yarn combined with fluffy yarn;
you’ll need a few cotton scraps for the beak and comb.

The pattern is very simple and easy to understand;
it is mostly knit stitches 

____________________________________________________________

Here is another beauty just like it, also with chicks, crocheted,

  to the pattern for crocheted hen and chicks

These two are also made from smooth and fluffy yarn together!

You’ll need chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, double crochet, both
in rounds as well as in rows;
The pattern is also very simple,
so you can still easily finish it before Easter!

This pattern is ideal for using up leftover yarn, whether as decorative tags for Easter, bag charms, or keychains. The pattern is clearly written and richly illustrated, so it’s also great for crochet beginners. You should know the following: single crochet, decreases, increases, magic ring

The little chicks are quick to crochet and then love to dangle from bags, school satchels, or keychains ♥

They are crocheted with cotton yarn (125m/50g) and a 2.5 mm hook.
You only need about 20 g of your chosen color per chick and a maximum of 7 g in the contrasting colors. With the specified materials, the little chicks will be about 9 cm tall (including feet) and 6 to 7 cm wide.

The Easter Bunny Gang is always adorable ♥

Of course, the detailed crochet pattern also includes the different eggs (strawberry egg, carrot egg & regular Easter egg)!

For each bunny, you need about 25–30 g of the main color and under 10 g for the secondary color. Each egg uses about 8 g of yarn. Cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m/50 g was used.
With the specified materials, the little bunnies will be about 20 cm tall (WITH ears). The eggs are about 6 cm high and have a diameter of a good 4 cm.

Use up leftover yarn and make something for Easter? How about these flower picks? They are quick to crochet and turn any flowerpot into an Easter pot.



The only stitches used are chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches. Since the pattern also includes numerous pictures and detailed explanations, it is easy for beginners to crochet.
