Feb
Easter is a wonderful time to crochet something small, soft and cheerful. If you enjoy making amigurumi, this season is full of inspiration – from tiny chicks and bunnies to flowers and little birds that bring a touch of spring indoors.
In this post I’ve gathered eight crochet Easter ideas, most of them cute amigurumi patterns that are fun to make and perfect for gifts, decorations or Easter baskets. These are the kinds of small projects you can finish in an evening and that always make people smile.
You’ll meet a little chick, a slightly silly hen, a colourful rooster, sweet bunnies, spring flowers and a tiny bird. And because no Easter collection would be complete without one, there is also a small free crochet carrot pattern included.
1. Spring Bunny – Amigurumi Bunny Crochet Pattern
Spring Bunny is a cheerful amigurumi bunny with a simple egg-shaped body. The pattern is made from just three crocheted pieces, which makes it a relaxing and enjoyable project.
Sweet details like the little patch of grass and embroidered flowers give this egg-shaped bunny its special spring character.
Size: 15 cm / 6 in
Skill level: Easy+
Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn
This crochet pattern includes a free online version, as well as a downloadable premium PDF with step-by-step photos and more detailed guidance.
2. Little Chick in an Egg Shell – Easter Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
This little chick in an egg shell is a cute project made especially for Easter. It works beautifully as a small handmade decoration or as a sweet seasonal gift.
The design combines two yarns of the same weight. The chick is crocheted with soft, fluffy chenille yarn, while the beak and egg shells are made with smooth cotton yarn. This mix of textures is an important part of the design and gives the finished piece its playful character.
Size: about 8 cm / 3 in
Skill level: Intermediate
Yarn: DK weight chenille and cotton yarn
3. Candy Bunny – Amigurumi Easter Bunny Pattern
Candy Bunny is a cheerful amigurumi Easter bunny who delights children with her sweet look and candy-like dots scattered across her body.
This amigurumi Easter bunny pattern is crocheted using only single crochet stitches, but it also includes some more detailed sewing and a bit of embroidery to bring the bunny to life.
Size: about 25 cm / 10 in
Skill level: Advanced
Yarn: DK weight cotton blend
4. Stupid Hen – Funny Amigurumi Chicken Pattern
Stupid Hen has been making people smile ever since I first introduced her to the world. She’s cute, a little funny, and just slightly silly – and that’s exactly why people love her.
This pattern is perfect for crocheters who don’t enjoy sewing lots of pieces together. Only the beak and wattle need to be sewn on, while the rest of the elements are crocheted in as you go.
Size: 14 cm / 5.5 in when sitting
Skill level: Intermediate
Yarn: DK weight cotton blend
5. Motley Rooster – Cute Amigurumi Rooster Pattern
Motley Rooster may look simple at first, but it comes together in a surprisingly clever way with very little sewing. Most parts are crocheted directly into the body, and only the beak and wattle need to be sewn on.
This amigurumi rooster is also a great project for using up leftover yarn. The colorful details like the comb and tail require only small amounts, so you can easily play with different color combinations.
Size: 30 cm / 12 inches
Skill level: Advanced
Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn
6. Great Tit – Amigurumi Bird Crochet Pattern for Spring and Easter
This crochet great tit makes a lovely spring and Easter decoration. The classic version is made in blue and yellow, inspired by the Eurasian great tit, but the design looks beautiful in many different color combinations.

Skill level: Advanced
Yarn: Fingering weight cotton yarn
7. Field Flowers – Crochet Flower Motifs for Spring
This crochet field flowers pattern includes instructions for three beautiful flower motifs: a cornflower, a poppy and a daisy.
The finished flowers are perfect for spring decorations. Use them on a wreath, as napkin holders, or sew them onto an amigurumi for an extra special detail.

Skill level: Advanced

8. Free Mini Carrot – Easy Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Looking for a tiny Easter project? This mini carrot works up in no time.
Attach the carrot to the paws of an amigurumi bunny, turn it into a brooch, or use it as a small decoration.
The carrot is crocheted in one piece and requires only a small amount of yarn and fiberfill stuffing. Using thinner yarn will create an even smaller carrot.
