7 Free Easter Crochet Patterns for a Sweet Spring Basket

Easter and crochet are a natural pair — small, cheerful projects in soft spring colors that come together well before the baskets do. This hand-picked set of 7 free crochet patterns includes amigurumi bunnies and chicks, decorated eggs, and little spring accents perfect for filling baskets or dressing up a seasonal shelf. Because most Easter makes are small and worked in simple single crochet rounds, they're a lovely introduction to amigurumi for beginners, and every free crochet pattern here comes with step-by-step instructions to keep you on track. Scraps of pastel yarn are usually all you need, so these double as satisfying stash-busters. Crochet eggs make sweet reusable decorations year after year, while a handmade bunny becomes the kind of gift a child keeps long after the chocolate is gone. Pick a pattern, grab your hook, and get a head start on spring.
