Knit Easter Bunny Patterns

I’ve shared a lot of Easter bunny knitting patterns through the years (including my own giant Peep-style bunny knitting pattern, which I’ve now made three times and is just so much fun) but it’s one of those genres that never seems to exhaust itself; there are always more patterns to share. So let’s get into some more Easter bunny knitting patterns.

Speaking of giant bunnies, let’s kick it off with the Fluffy Bunny from Larissa Koedyker, worked in a jumbo (that’s weight 7) chenille style yarn. The pattern is presented as a video and you can purchase access on Ravelry.

I love a good bunny that looks like an egg (or any spring animal that looks like an egg, if we’re being honest) and the Egg Bunny pattern from Annie Ahn makes it easy to make super cute little bunnies for your table or Easter baskets. They’re shown worked with superfine yarn, but you can use any weight of yarn you have handy to make bunny eggs of different sizes. This is available as a free pattern on Ravelry.

Cover a creme egg with a sweet little bunny with this pattern from Secret Garden England on Etsy. This is a great little stash busting project and you can make a bunch of them to cover eggs in your egg hunt and give the kids a little extra prize. It calls for DK weight yarn.

This bunny in a cabbage is meant to cover a chocolate orange or a bath bomb, but it’s super cute on its own. The pattern is from Etsy seller Whiskers Paws and Claws, and it also calls for DK or light worsted weight yarn. Make this one to go with your projects from the Knitting Peter Rabbit book!

And this one is the best of all of the above, a bunny (or chick) that’s a chocolate orange cover and looks like an egg. Bravo, Bizzy Bee Patterns! Again this one would be so cute just stuffed as decoration if you don’t do chocolate oranges, or you can fill it with smaller goodies. It calls for DK weight yarn and the pattern includes options for making a bunny or a chick.

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.
