How about saying hello to the new week with a very cute crochet Easter bunny? This cute crochet Easter bunny looks very nice with her dress and basket in her hand. You can make her dress and the bunny herself with any color chenille yarn. I don’t recommend using chenille yarn for the dress, though. You will learn how to make roses, lavender and many other flowers in the basket in this free crochet bunny pattern. Here is the crochet Easter bunny that will leave its mark on this year, step by step.

In the picture, the right (correct) side is facing you. You need to turn it, so your starting point will be on the right side.) Ch 1, sc into the same stitch. Sc in all the remaining 35 stitches.

Cut the yarn, but leave a tail for sewing. Hide the starting tail.
Assembling the bunny
1. Sew the arms one round below the neck, on the sides of the body.
2. Sew the legs to the lower body, between the 5th and 6th rounds from the bottom. The distance between the two legs should be about 3 sc.
3. Sew the ears between the 6th and 5th rounds of the head, on both sides, slightly backwards so the ears can fall behind the arms.
4. Sew the crown to the top of the head.
5. Sew the carrot into the dress, on the center of the top, slightly diagonally, using a sewing thread.
6. Put the dress on the bunny and sew the middle of the back together.
Basket
Use beige or brown cotton yarn and a 2,5mm crochet hook. We are not working in continuous rounds in this case. We will connect each round with a sl.st, ch 1, and make the first sc into the same stitch.
1. 7 sc into a mr (7) *sl.st, ch 1*
2. 7 inc (14) *sl.st, ch 1*
3. (sc, inc)x7 (21) *sl.st, ch 1*

11. 35 sc (35) *sl.st, ch 1*
12. (sl.st.,ch 1)x35 (70) *sl.st.*
We make the basket handle without cutting the yarn. Ch 25, then make a sl.st. on the opposite side of the basket, sl.st. into the next st. After that, start to work on the other side of the chains.
To do this, skip the two sl.st, and place the first sc into the 25th chain. Make 1 sc in each of the 25 chains.
Cut the yarn, and connect the last sc with the basket. Hide the yarn ends.
Flower
With cotton yarn and a 2mm crochet hook:
• Into a mr, make: (2 ch, dc, 2 ch, sl.st. back to the mr)x5
Pull tight the magic circle to close the hole. Cut the yarn and hide the yarn ends.
Lavender
With purple cotton yarn and a 2mm crochet hook:
Make 17 chains, tightly.
1. Sl.st. to the 6th chain from the hook.
2. (Ch 5, sl.st. to the next chain of your starting chain)x 11
Twist your lavander, so its twisting tightly. Cut the yarn and hide all yarn ends.
Rose
With cotton yarn and a 2mm crochet hook:
• Ch 16. From the 2nd chain from the hook: (sc, hdc, 3dc into the same stitch, hdc, sl.st.)x3.
Cut the yarn, and twist up the rose petals to firm a tight circle. Sew the bottom part by sewing all layers of the bottom together. Hide the yarn ends.
Assembling the flowers
1. Cut a 3 cm long wire and fold the end in with pliers to make a hook. (Leave a small gap at the end of the hook, do not close it completely.)
2. Insert the wire into the center of the flower and hook the loop into one of the flower’s threads. Once you’re done, close the gap in the hook with the pliers.
3. Hold the green yarn (about 30 cm long) by the stem of the wire and start winding it towards the end of the wire.
4. When you reach the end, start winding it back.
5. Wrap the green yarn around the wire all the way around. As you get closer to the flower, wrap the yarn around the wire in several layers.
6. Use a needle to hide the end of the green yarn under the petals of the flower.
Make as many flowers as you wish with the same method.
