Bunny Egg Free Crochet Pattern
Updated: Oct 19, 2019
Easter is the perfect time of the year to get creative!
It's so fun to work on home decorations, plan egg hunts for the kids, and craft Easter class favors for their friends!
What I especially enjoy about this season is finally brightening up the house after a long and cold Winter! Cheerful colors, friendly bunnies, and baskets overflowing with Easter eggs always get me in the right mood!
What do you like about this time of the year? Do you have a favorite Easter decoration or a special craft project you like working on every year?
Today I'll be sharing with you an easy and super fun crochet project!
It works very fast and it's a nice idea for giving a little touch of Easter to your home!
You can play with colors and create a series of Bunny Eggs or choose a thicker yarn to crochet a big and cute one for your kids!
