23 Creative Free Crochet Patterns for Easter (quick and easy)

Easter is such a cute holiday, I love all the pastel decorations, giving of chocolate and of course getting together with family and friends. It also makes a great excuse to crochet adorable easter-themed projects like what I have compiled here!

They have been organised by different categories- from easter eggs to homewares- so you can easily find what you are looking for. What I like about many of these projects is that despite them being for easter, they can definitely be used and gifted all year round too!

I hope you enjoy these patterns and celebrating the easter season!
