(If your name starts with a "J" and ends with "eannette" and you're going to be spending Easter at my house, stop reading now. I'm warning you.)
Easter is, what, 4 days away? That makes this the perfect time to start planning, right? If I base my holiday performance this year on my holiday performance in previous years, I'm actually ahead of schedule this time around!
Just in case anyone else has been frantically searching for adorable little goodies for Easter baskets, I'll help you out with what I found--a bunch of sickeningly cute crochet patterns. (Jeannette, are you still here? I knew you would be, you stinker. Go look at facebook or something.)
And all of these are free!
1. I found this adorable pattern for a chick in a bunny suit at Ewenique 4 U. It was so simple and quick, and I whipped one up last night while we were watching TV . . . here's my version of her little chicky who will be in a certain someone's Easter basket (Jeannette, so help me, if you don't act surprised on Sunday when you get your Easter basket, I'm going to kick you out of my house):
How cute is that?! I took a few liberties with the pattern but it's a wonderful, simple, easy project that works up in no time and will be so cute for Easter! I kind of want to keep him myself, but that's how I feel about everything I ever crochet, and I think I have yet to keep anything I've crocheted. Such is life.
2. How cute is this little bunny from the Roxycraft Blog?
So teensy and sweet and perfect for an Easter basket!
3. And oh dear, look at these chicks in their eggshells from Red Hot Fibers:
So fun! I'd love to fill an egg carton with these and sneak it into the fridge to surprise whoever's making breakfast on Easter morning. Although I'll be the one making breakfast, so I guess it wouldn't be all that surprising.
4. In case you wanted more than just the bunny's head, here's a pattern for the whole bunny body from Gloomy Gurumi:
I love the little bow on the pink bunny--these little guys are so sweet.
5. And although I'm not positive if this is 100% Easter-y, I couldn't leave out this sweet little chicken:
The pattern to make this little fella is free as well, but you have to be a member of Ravelry to view it. What's that, you say? You're not on Ravelry? Where the hizzy have you been?! Join now! There are thousands of knit and crochet patterns--and so many of them are free! I have spent hours just clicking through all the gorgeous patterns and projects on that site. On second thought, if you're prone to sitting in front of the computer until your eyeballs are completely bloodshot and dried out because you haven't dared to blink for the past 3 hours in case you'll miss the perfect pattern (been there, my friend, been there often), maybe you shouldn't join. Or at least try to exercise a little more self-control than I do. And hey, let's be friends when you join!
