Easter Sock Knitting Patterns

Looking to knit something for Easter that’s totally different from your traditional baskets and eggs? Why not knit some Easter socks? Of course bunnies don’t have to be for Easter; these are all socks you can wear all spring long and beyond, but would be especially fun around Easter.

I love these multicolored bunny socks from Naehbenwirkung on Etsy. The yarn does most of the work but the designer says they are for more experienced sock knitters because there are no tutorials included. The pattern, which is for a single size, is charted and available in English and German.

Renarde Endormie‘s spring rabbit socks are also cute and would be a great little stash buster as they are shown using four colors of yarn. The socks include stripes, stranded colorwork and contrasting heels, toes and cuffs (here shown in two different colors but you could make them all match if you’d rather. The pattern comes in three sizes.

I love the bunny on the Bunny Wishes socks from Grey Owl Knits By Sarah. It looks like it just hopped off an ancient tapestry. These socks are worked in two colors from the cuff down and using different needle sizes to accommodate the colorwork. I think this one is one size.

If you like shortie socks and lots of whimsy, stitch up the Bunny Got Back socks by Amy Gunderson for Universal Yarn. These sweet socks have a row of bunnies around the foot and a bunny tail pompom on the back. The pattern is free and comes in one size.

Use reverse stockinette stitch on a stockinette stitch background to make the bunnies on these socks from Nicloa Susen (available in German and English on Ravelry). They use a single color of yarn and are worked from the top down with a chart for the rabbits. The pattern comes in 5 sizes.

Another one in English and German (and also on Ravelry) is Spring Socks with Bunny (or Frühlingssocken mit Hase) from Tanja Steinbach. These sweet socks have a bunny peeking up from the toe end of the socks. The pattern page shows this done both with colorwork and reverse stockinette stitch, so you can take your pick. The pattern includes three designs in English: the bunny socks, a colorwork sock with circles in squares, and a striped sock.

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use.

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make.

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!).

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn.

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart.

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern.

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
