Free Bunny and Easter Egg Crochet Garland Pattern -

This time of year is so brown and blegh. I think everyone NEEDS some color to brighten up the grayness of early spring. My mom said that the brown is the Lord’s blank canvas for spring, something that I love to think about. My 18 year old brother laughed and said, “What are you a poet or something?” Oh little brothers. So uncultured.

I do love the fun colors of Easter! I especially love the adorable Peeps colors and their fun and simple shape. I think they belong on the list of nastiest candy (right along with candy corn. yuk.), but I think they are cute. Give me chocolate any day of the week, twice on Sundays, and a ridiculous amount on Easter. But I decided to use the fun shape and colors to make a little Easter garland! I made my own pattern for the bunny and a little egg to match.These whip up SUPER quickly so you can have your own Easter garland in under an hour, depending on toddler distractions of course.
