The possibilities for these adorable crochet Easter Bunnies are up to you! They are fast to make and are perfect as an Easter basket gift or strung together as garland for decoration. They would also make adorable nursery decor, baby shower favors, crochet bookmark, Christmas ornament, crochet baptism favour, first communion favours, Easter mini gifts, crochet keyring.
As for color, I personally can’t resist the traditional soft pastel Easter colors, but also I think these bunnies would look amazing done in any color combo you can come up with!

Basic Stitches Of This Simple Crochet Granny Bunny
Terms used: ch= chain, dc= double crochet (UK - tr= treble crochet), sl st= slip stitch.
hdc= half double crochet ( UK - htr= half treble crochet)
Chain Stitch (ch):
A simple crochet stitch that often forms the foundation of what crochet stitches are worked into during projects.
Make a slip knot.
Insert hook into slip knot point first, bring yarn over the shaft of the hook from back to front and grab it with the throat of the hook.
Draw hooked yarn through slip knot and onto the hook. This movement will make one chain stitch
Repeat steps two and three until you have the desired number of stitches or a pattern. One loop will remain on hook.
Double Crochet (dc): / In UK terms – Treble Crochet (tr)
Wrap the yarn over (YO) the hook, insert the hook into the specified stitch.
YO the hook again, draw the yarn through the stitch, so there are 3 loops on the hook.
