Bunny Couple

Continuing on with my 2022 Easter catch up posts. I made this Easter couple to go with the cottage I posted about yesterday.

You can find the free pattern for Lily and Levi here. As you can see I started with Levi and realized with the suggested hook size Levi was going to be too large for my Easter play set so the first one became part of my Easter decorations for 2022. Not great loss there as he is adorable.

This was a great stash busting project so I did need to change colors when I made the second Levi for the Easter set as I'd finished off the left over dark blue I'd started with when I made the first bunny.

Not sure if I ended up with a D or a C hook for these but I believe it was a D. Not sure the C would have worked well with this yarn.

Chick a Hop

Last Easter I made crochet projects but for a variety of reasons never got around to posting them. As summer approached I realized in future years I'd want information about these projects as I'd likely make at least some of them again. With that in mind I started preposting Easter posts to arrive in a more timely fashion for the following Easter that would trace the projects I'd made in 2022.

My husband saw the Chickadee Friends Herrschners Kit in a catalog I had left on the table and it arrived as a Christmas present. I've been decorating his home office with holiday ami's to brighten his day and he dubbed this one Chick a Hop. As of my preposting this the kit was still available at Herrschners here.

Notes:

I used a D hook for this project. I wanted a smaller ami for my purposes.

To get the stitch counts to match I found myself changing directions in rows 4-7 of the body to keep the counts correct. I haven't seen a correction on the site but this was my experience.

Cowboy Ducky

My DH purchased Cowboy Ducky pattern for me for Valentine's Day. I wanted to make it as the perfect Easter basket toy for a little boy on my Easter basket list. Right before Easter seemed the perfect time to pause in discussing swap projects and to post this Easter project. This is an adorable pattern and it works up quickly. You can purchase the pattern here.

I'm always looking for quick, cute, and smaller sized projects that fit the Easter bunny, chicken, and duck theme. While I have a few, I like trying new ones each year. I'm not great at repeating the same project multiple times. I also love the idea that the hat and bandana patterns can be reused on other future ami projects.

Boy Duck with Green Shirt and Egg

This was the last of the ducks I made using the "Easter Eggs" pattern from the April 2011 Crochet World.

I decided to play with the egg until I could actually get the duck inside the egg and found I had to use an M hook. As I mentioned in a previous post, the duck fit, but it started to lose its egg shape.

I chose green as that is one of this child's favorite colors. It did not necessarily have an Easter feel to it, but it he looked adorable when he was done.

I do not do well repeating projects, so I try to find a way to make each one a little different. This pattern only had two ducks. So in order to make the second boy different I went back to Crochet Village's Eggheads to find an alternate hat. I settled on the cowboy hat I used on the orange chick earlier. I love being able to use one pattern to change another.

Girl Duck with Egg

This was my second attempt at the "Easter Eggs" pattern from the April 2011 Crochet World. Since there are two boys and a girl now it seemed appropriate to make the girl duck for the girl in the group. The duck pattern worked fine, but even moving up to an I hook the egg still was not large enough to hold the duck.

While the boy duck has a shirt and hat, the girl duck has a bib front dress that was fun to make. The original pattern called for foam balls, I decided to stuff my ducks. Knowing these were going to have some rough play, I thought the stuffing would last longer.

I also chose to use safety eyes instead of gluing wiggle eyes or sewing eyes to the project.

Mrs. Bluebird

I finished Mrs. Bluebird from Crochet Village's Eggheads so Mr. Bluebird will not be alone in the Easter box. I need to finish one more bird and I can move on to the bunnies.

The eggs are simple and easy to make, however what I love about this pattern set are the many varied hats and little items that make the sets. I am looking forward to the bunny slippers for one of the bunnies. That is first on my list after I finish off the birds.
