Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog, and if you’re new to my blog welcome! I post new content every Wednesday containing either a FREE crochet pattern, or a blog full of tips. To not miss out on any posts, please consider subscribing to my newsletter!
This year, Easter falls super early, on April 4th. I’m a bit bummed about that, because I would have liked to put out more than one Easter pattern, but what can you do about it?
This week, I have come up with a super cute, quick, and easy Easter bunny pattern!
You can make a bunch of individual ones to decorate your house with, you can make two of the same one and create a 3D, peep-style bunny, or you can make a bunting!
Don’t Have Time Now? Pin it for Later!
Whichever way you decided to do it, I’m sure they will turn out great, and I’d love to see them! To share your creations with me, tag me @crochetwithcayley and use the hashtag #crochetwithcayley on Instagram.
