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.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
