Spring is the season for pastel yarn, fresh flowers and Easter baskets. This collection gathers our Easter crochet patterns and spring makes: an Easter bunny, chicks in hats and a cowboy chick, spring garden granny square totes, a spring garden baby romper and dress, a cherry blossom cardigan and flower coasters.
These patterns come from across the site, including toys, clothes, bags and decor. Each card lists the designer's skill level, hook and yarn. If you are filling an Easter basket, start with the toys; for a spring wardrobe, scroll to the garments and totes.

Planning an Easter basket
A handmade Easter basket mixes one larger toy with a few small extras.
- One main toy: the Easter bunny in chenille-style yarn or the cowboy chick designed as an Easter toy is the centerpiece.
- Small companions: the baby chick at about 5 to 7 cm and the chick in a frog hat are small and quick, so make several.
- A practical extra: flower coasters or a small pouch can be filled with treats.

Spring colors and yarn
Spring projects look best in soft pastels: lilac, mint, peach, butter yellow and sky blue. Some ideas for the patterns here:
| Project | Yarn idea | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Bunnies and chicks | Chenille or velvet in pastels | Soft and cuddly, quick to work |
| Granny square totes | Worsted cotton or blends | Strong and colorful, holds its shape |
| Baby romper and dress | DK cotton | Breathable, soft for babies |
| Cherry blossom cardigan | Chenille or worsted on a 6 mm hook | Cozy for cool spring days |
| Flower coasters | Worsted cotton or acrylic | Bright and practical |
Granny square projects are perfect for using up pastel scraps. Each square can be a different color combination.
Spring layers to wear
Spring weather changes by the hour, so a light layer earns its place. The cherry blossom cardigan on a 6 mm hook is rated beginner to intermediate by its designer and grows quickly in chunky yarn. Pair it with a spring garden tote for a coordinated look. For tops, dresses and more cardigans, browse our crochet clothing for every season.
Flowers for the spring table
Flower coasters bring spring indoors. They are small, use little yarn and make a lovely Easter brunch table, especially in a set of mixed pastel colors. Make a few extra: they are popular as small hostess gifts. More are in our coaster, placemat and table runner patterns, and the home decor collection has flowers, tiebacks and small accents.
Spring garden granny square projects
Three patterns here share a spring garden theme built from granny squares: a spring garden granny tote on a 6 mm hook, a second granny tote and a granny square baby dress. You can make squares for all of them in the same colors for a matching set, with a tote for you and a dress for a little one.
For more square-based ideas, our granny square projects collection has bags, cardigans, decor and baby sets.
Gifts for spring babies
Spring babies get the sweetest handmade gifts. The spring garden baby romper in DK cotton is light enough for warmer days. Pair it with a chick or bunny for a complete gift, but use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes on any toy for a baby. You will find many more garments in our baby clothes pattern collection, and more toys in the full amigurumi library.
Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest Easter crochet pattern?
The flower coaster is rated beginner by its designer. For toys, the small chicks are quick and simple, and the baby chick finishes at about 5 to 7 cm.
What yarn should I use for Easter bunnies and chicks?
Chenille or velvet yarn in pastel colors makes soft, cuddly toys. Cotton gives smaller toys with crisp details.
When should I start Easter crochet projects?
Start a few weeks before Easter for a basket with several toys. Small chicks can be made in an evening, but larger bunnies and totes take longer.
Are crochet Easter toys safe for babies?
Use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes, sew every part on securely and avoid small accessories for babies and toddlers.
