Easter Crochet Patterns

I have had a lot of fun this week crocheting some decorations for Easter. I have created Easter baskets complete with Easter eggs for both my kids, but now I’m thinking I should go one step bigger and make some cute Easter scenes as well!

For this I’ve been collection patterns from across this site that will work well for the time of year, not just Easter themed but fittingly full of the gorgeous fun of the long awaited Spring season.

Great Easter Crochet Projects

  • Are brightly colored
  • Have Spring time themes
  • Lean into traditional elements of Easter
  • Are reusable and washable if necessary so they can last for many Easters to come

Try To Avoid

  • Mixing consumables with crochet. Even if they wash out, you can stain the fabric and if you’ve got kids around they are more likely to mold.
  • Giant projects. You want smaller ideas that are easy to store between Easter seasons, or that will work in your home all year around.

Crochet Easter Eggs

I have had so much fun creating these crochet Easter eggs. This pattern is actually four different patterns, with options for varying the color combinations and designs. I created them to scale with actual chickens’ eggs so that you can display them in an egg box if you like.

They were made using a cotton blend yarn, and worked up with a 3.5mm crochet hook. It’s a fairly thick DK yarn, and I went to the smaller end of the scale for the hook to give the nice tight finish you’ll see on the eggs.

Easter Themed Plushies


Crochet toys can be a wonderful addition to your Easter plans. Not just because they are cute, but because it’s so easy to theme them to the time of year. My past Easter gifts to my kids have included my pig pattern and my long limbed monkey, so it’s worth remembering that you don’t actually have to be Easter-y with your animal choices for your kids to love receiving amigurumi as a part of their celebrations.

Crochet Easter Basket

I created this crochet Easter basket pattern as a cute way to display (and play with!) my crocheted Easter eggs. I went with the same color scheme of yarns as I used for the crocheted Easter eggs for a cute consistent look, but this set would be equally adorable in a variety of different palettes. I also think that
