1. Simple Easter bunnies

Sometimes the best kind of seasonal decor or gift is one that has a slightly minimalist look to it, so that there’s some beauty to its simplicity. That’s why we fell in love with these adorable little knitted stuffed bunnies from Vicky Sedgwick! We love that they manage to be completely adorable even without detailed features, giving them a vintage look.

2. Hatched Easter chick plush

Have you been enamoured lately with light yarn, tight stitches, and small knitting projects? Then this adorable little chick is definitely the project for you! The pattern keeps stitches tight together so that the little chick can be stuffed well enough to sit upright on its own. We love the way the pattern includes double stitching to really make it look like it’s hatching! Check the details out on Tatyana Korobkova.

3. Easter bunny egg cozies

Whether you’re setting out decorative Easter eggs made of plastic or wood, or putting your actual had boiled eggs for Easter breakfast on the table, adding a cute knitted Easter egg cozy is a functional and decorative way to get festive! These cute little bunny egg covers from Sybil R will certainly add some extra Easter charm to your table thanks to their high standing ears that we just can’t get over!

4. Easter duckling

Have you always stocked up on novelty yarns just to make sure you have something fun and fuzzy lying around in your stash for a fun rainy day? Then this is the perfect project to use up some of your funny things! Grab the softest white fun fur you can find and a little bit of leftover bright orange for the feet and beak and get knitting yourself a hilarious little Easter duckling, just like Morgunova Olga did here!

5. Bonbon bunny

Do you love the idea of making a bunny doll but your tastes are actually a little more bright and funky than the cute little vintage bunnies we showed you at the top of the list? Then check out these awesome variegated Easter bunny dolls with cute cartoon proportions instead! Get the full (surprisingly simple) pattern from Susan Claudino.

6. Easter egg wash cloth

Are you a beginner knitter who has only really knitted scarves an wash cloths up to this point, but now you’re ready to learn a new simple stitch? Then perhaps it’s time to practice your yarn overs! Check out how this adorable Easter egg pattern from Obsidian Kitten maps out a simple shape in the centre of a wash cloth using just a few easy variations on things you’ve already learned.

7. Easter bunny in a carrot toy

Maybe you’ve been scrolling through this list looking for some little novelty toy or trinket that you can make for the kids in your life that has some more play features than just a snuggly doll? Then we think you should definitely check out this adorable little hide and seek bunny in a carrot cover from Tatyana Korobkova! This one gets you bonus points if you have the embroidery experience to make the little “Happy Easter” sign yourself.

8. Easter egg hot pad

Do you like the idea of making something simple, but the little Easter egg pattern in the centre of the wash cloth doesn’t quite involve the skills you’re hoping to practice? Maybe you had your heart set on learning how to increase and decrease for shaping a piece instead. Then these cute little Easter egg shaped hot pads from Lion Brand Yarn are the ones for you!

9. Easter Moebius cowl

If you’re an avid knitter like we are then you might have already heard of the classic version of the moebius cowl. You might have even knitted one already! If you really liked the pattern then we have good news for you; they’ve got a seasonal version especially for Easter! Kristi Pyatt guides you through the process of making looping stitches to form little Easter eggs down the middle of the cowl. It’s the perfect project to wear on cool spring evenings!

10. Easter bunny sock pattern

Has your family always had the silly tradition of giving each other ridiculous themed holiday socks on Easter morning? Then here’s a pattern that will really help you one-up your siblings this year! These funny bunny socks by Abigail Grasso are bright, patterned, festive, and pretty hilarious with their little bows at the top. We can’t get enough of them.

11. Easter baby cap

We’ve talked a lot lately about how to make your Easter eggs look like other cute things, but what if you want to make the cutest thing in your life look like an Easter egg? Then an adorable festive baby hat is definitely what you need! Vanessa Bodrie guides you through the process of making a zig zag and polka dot pattern in an Easter coloured hat in all kinds of kids’ sizes.

12. Patterned Easter socks

Did you like the idea of the Easter socks we showed you above but you’d rather pay more attention to crazy patterns and colour work rather than things like ankle tires and ruffled cuffs? Then check out these eye catching alternatives from Deborah Tomasello! No matter which colours you choose for your base and which ones you decide to make your pattern in, you’ll have a blast making these!

13. Little crouching bunny

Are you looking for a little stuffed bunny that could be either a toy or  a decorative piece in the little Easter scene you create for yourself? Then check out the pattern for this darling little rabbit crouching down and looking up at you inquisitively! The rabbit’s limbs involve some very small stitches, so make time to concentrate on this one. Sebastian Loves helps you through it!

14. Simple Easter lamb

Did you like the simple, almost vintage style of the very first rabbit toys we showed you but you’ve already knit some bunnies this season and you’d rather try your hand at something a little bit different? Then check out this adorable spring lamb pattern by Lynne Rowe instead! This project is another good way to use up some of your older yarn that has more fluff or texture.

With an accessory like this you will not just be warm but also look trendy. And this isn’t the only impressive thing about the scarf. The tools being used in the manufacturing process are your own hands! So, don’t wait until the harsh weather and snow has already hurt your skin, throat or neck. Literally put your hands to good use and knit a simple DIY scarf. Follow the tutorial, use the photos as helping guideline and your new winter accessory will be done in no time. The photos in this collage belong to Anne Weil (flax and twine) and in the below you can find the entire tutorial..

1. Santa pet sweater by DIY Maven

Christmas might be over, but that doesn’t mean you won’t still find us chasing the cats around the house trying to dress them up like Santa or Mrs. Clause. In fact, we actually just made this hilarious little fringed sweater in real life and, even though it’s past December 25th, our cat was wearing it this morning! We do love a good pet sweater that gives us toasty furred friends and some funny novelty all at once.

2. Bebe’s holiday pet sweater by Nadia Fuad

This little sweater for tiny dogs or cats might not be specifically holiday themed in it’s pattern, but we sure do think it’s cute looking in classic Christmas colours! If you’d rather not have your pets look like they’re feeling a little too belatedly festive, try making this same cute pattern but in differently coloured stripes.

3. Fur trimmed pet sweater by Crochet Kitten

As if your pets don’t have enough fur of their own already, this pattern suggests dressing them in more. To be honest, though, the effect of the fun fur against a cat or dog’s coat is so funny that we don’t even mind for a second. Try pairing the fur with another smoother, more tightly wound yarn to give the little sweater some contrast and really make the fur edges stand out.

4. Fluffy pet sweater by Carol Ballard

If you’re going to dress your pet up in sweaters, you might as well go all out with the silliness, right? That sure seems to be the mantra that this pattern designer was going for! We think these little loops are nothing short of hilarious, especially in such novelty colours. Imagine how this garment would look on a hairless cat!

5. Hexagon pet sweater by Dia Beachboard

Does your little dog naturally not grow hair because of their breed, but you notice them shivering a lot? Then a warm winter sweater is exactly what they need! This hexagonal granny patch pattern is kind of hilarious looking as a sweater because it looks like a vintage afghan, but your chilly puppy won’t mind one bit and it’s a great way to use up some of the yarn ends in your stash!

6. Candy cane pet sweater by Alicia Moore

Are you still technically on Christmas holidays, so you’re still feeling the holiday sweater vibe for your little furry friends? Then try stripes! We adore this cute little ruffling crocheted sweater that’s supposed to look like the stripes of a candy cane. This design would look good on just about any pet you might have running around your home.

7. Bejuled pet sweater by Katie Rempe

Are you looking for a design that’s a little less Christmas and a little more classy? Then cables should do the trick! Try this adorable knit sweater that’s particularly good for dogs because the bottom is open, so it won’t interfere with their legs when you take them on walks. The cables might look fancy, but they’re actually quite easy to do.

8. Autumn Stripes sweater by Stacie LaBean

Do you have some yarn ends in nicely coloured winter hues? Then crocheting stripes is an easy way to use them up! We love this little turtleneck sweater complete with sleeves and a full front to keep your pet extra toasty on fall, winter, and spring walks until the sun comes out. The pattern is simple enough but the stripes make it look almost intricate by the time you’re done.

9. Polo sweater by Jenna Wingate

Maybe your pet has quite a personality and you’d like to make them a stylish little shirt to match, just to keep them even just slightly warmer this winter? Then this hilarious and adorable little polo shirt is a great option! We can’t get over the fancy collar, especially since it’s complete with buttons just like a real fancy blouse.

10. Flouncy Chicken sweater by Kris Moore

Yes, you did read that right: these ruffly little garments are chicken sweaters! Chickens do, after all, live in un-insulated huts and even they can get chilly despite their feathers. These sweaters are constructed so that they cover the chickens’ backs and fronts but leave their wings free for comfort and ease of movement.

11. Cable dog sweater by Esther Smith Bozak

Did you like the cabled dog sweater we wrote about just above this, but you’d actually rather the garment you make your dog to have at least a little bit of a front, just so he’s a little bit warmer than if only his back was covered? Then check out this adorable design! It’s cabled in a way that’s impressive but not too complicated and ribbed the other way for contrast.

12. Turtleneck sweater by Shiri Mor

Were you a huge fan of the first fun fur option we included on our list but you think it’s so funny that you actually wanted more fun fur to really make your pet a stylish top? Then this patter that features a whole furry half might be more to your taste! We love how smart the turtleneck looks and it’ll keep your furry friend even warmer too.

13. Shadow sweater by Corinne Niessner

Did you like the the crocheted striped sweater we talked about above but you’re better with a pair of knitting needles than you are with a crochet hook? Then here’s an alternative for you! Just like the other, it’s a great way to use up the coloured yarn ends in your stash and make them into something you’ll actually use.

14. Ferret sweater by Allison McAllister

Dogs, cats, and hens aren’t the only pets you can make cure little winter sweaters for! In fact, the smaller your pet is, the quicker you can make them a cute little sweater that will keep them warm all season. We adore the idea of making a teeny, tiny little sweater for a ferret to stop him from shivering and make him look quite smart indeed.
