Spring Bunny Banner Crochet Pattern – Free

While I’ve made crocheted eggs before, I realized I’ve never made a bunny before. So I figured there was no time like the present. Especially since Easter is just around the corner.

It’s a super simple beginner crochet pattern that is perfect for anyone who’s learned how to do some of the most basic of stitches. So, pick out your yarn, grab your hook and let’s get going!

What Yarn Should You Use for a Garland for Easter?

For this easy Easter garland, I wanted a variety of bright colors and inexpensive yarn. I selected Sugar ‘n Cream yarn in a couple of colorways. But this project can be worked with any worsted weight yarn or similar.

What Size Is This Easter Garland?

As written, this pattern is one-size. Each resulting bunny is 5-inches tall by 3-inches wide. Width of the garland is entirely based on the number of bunnies you include and how far apart you space them on your embroidery thread.

How Much Yarn Will I Need to Make a Bunny Garland?

I used about 30 yards of a 2.5oz skein of Sugar n’ Cream 100% worsted weight yarn in each of colorways for the pictured set of Easter bunnies. This is about 1/4 of a brand new skein per bunny in the garland.

I do generally crochet in a medium-tension, so this is what I would consider an average amount of yarn usage for this project.

How Do You Crochet a Bunny Banner?

The head part of this easy bunny shape crochet pattern is worked in the round, starting with a foundation chain. If you prefer to make a magic circle, you can find instructions to make that, you can see my trinket bowl crochet pattern.

The ears are worked as two separate pieces, then attached to the main piece.

Round 2: Ch1 *2 SC in next st, 1 SC in next st.* Repeat from * around (12 total stitches), sl st to join, do NOT turn.

Cast on in one corner of the bottom edge of the ear (where the ear will attach to the head). SC around in ea st and row.

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Finishing:

Attach the ears to the head using a yarn needle and a whip stitch. You could alternatively crochet the ears to the head using a sl st across the base of both ears. I personally think the whip stitch makes a prettier seam.

Repeat to make as many bunnies as desired.

To make a garland of your bunnies, thread a darning needle with embroidery thread and work through one side of each bunny at the join of the ears and head so you have all the bunnies facing the same direction. Then hang!
