Easy Easter Basket Knitting Patterns

It’s been a while since I shared Easter basket knitting patterns last, so let’s look at some new (and easy!) Easter basket knitting patterns if you’re looking for something new to make this season.

I’m a big fan of little Easter baskets (and I’m pretty sure I shared my little Easter basket pattern before) and this one from Willow Knits is a cute one. It looks like sock yarn and it wouldn’t take much to make one of these tiny baskets. You can make a whole bunch with all your leftovers from your sock knitting adventures, or make them a little bigger with larger yarn or multiple strands held together.

Basketweave is a classic stitch pattern for a basket, and this one from square basket pattern from Noisy Needles Knitting is a great basic pattern that’s easy to customize. The one shown is 3.5 inches or 9 cm square and 2.1 inches or 5 cm tall, but the pattern includes instructions for making it any size you like. Adding a plastic container will make the sides stand up.

If you need a basket and some cute eggs to put in it, check out this pattern from Fitting in Knitting is a great choice. It uses heavy DK or worsted weight yarn and is mostly worked in stockinette stitch. If you don’t make it in super springy colors, you can use this one as a storage basket all year.

This colorful Easter basket from Patterns83 would be a great way to use up some yarn leftovers. It uses two strands held together to make a more stable basket, and as shown uses four colors of yarn.

And if you’re a fan of using a circular knitting machine, I’ve got an easy pattern on my blog for a circular knitting machine made Easter basket. This one is a small size, made with a 22-pin machine, but you could do the same thing on a bigger machine to make a larger version.

Knitted Easter Bunny Pattern

With so many easy and creative Easter basket knitting patterns to choose from, there’s no better time to grab your needles and start stitching some springtime joy! Whether you’re crafting a mini treat holder, a colorful centerpiece, or a full-sized basket for the Easter Bunny himself, these patterns are a fun way to add a handmade touch to your celebrations.

Knitted Easter baskets are not only adorable, they’re also reusable, customizable, and packed with personality. Use up your yarn stash, play with spring colors, and create something truly unique that your loved ones will cherish year after year.

So pour a cup of tea, pick your favorite pattern, and enjoy the relaxing rhythm of knitting something special for Easter.

Happy knitting — and may your holiday be filled with warmth, creativity, and a basket full of joy!

As we get into the part of the year with a lot of food-forward holidays, it might be time to start thinking about knitting some new things for your table. While a few of these are more fall/Thanksgiving focused, just changing up the colors would make others work for Christmas, or keep it neutral and use them all year long.

What got me started thinking about this was the lovely and simple Fresh Bread Dishtowel, a free pattern from Purl Soho. Worked in a lovely cotton and linen blend, the towel is mostly stockinette stitch with a bit of texture on the borders.

You could use this same kind of pattern to make anything from placemats to a table runner, but let’s look at some specific patterns for those kinds of projects as well.

The easy moss stitch table runner from Glass Bird Knits is beginner friendly can can easily be modified to fit your table (or, again, to make placemats instead of or in addition to a runner). This version is worked in macrame cord, but you could also use bulky yarn.

Emielle Design has a garter stitch runner pattern that’s made with braided cotton cord for a lot of texture without a lot of work. But be sure to take a lot of breaks when knitting with cord because it can be rough on your hands!

I also love the diamond pattern on the Hamilton Table Runner from Wyndlestraw Designs. It calls for a DK weight cotton and linen blend yarn and comes in three sizes with different widths and lengths. The pattern has both written and charted instructions.

Amy Marie’s Table Pumpkins (on Ravelry) is a fun mosaic knitting pattern that would be great to use as a table runner through the fall and for Thanksgiving. It uses a worsted weight cotton yarn in two colors, and you can make it as long as you like for your table.

The no cable knit placemats from Yarn Culture Studio have a fun faux cable look that would be great for the table through the fall and winter.

Or here’s another pattern from Wyndlestraw Designs, this time for an easy knit and purl stitch placemat pattern that looks different but still good on both sides. It calls for worsted weight cotton and comes in two sizes for placemats, but also has instructions for coasters, a hot pad and a table pad all using the same stitch.
