Easy Crochet Easter Bunny & Chick Bouquet 🐰🐥 | 2-in-1 Beginner Tutorial

Spring is finally here, and if you’re looking for the most adorable handmade Easter gift or decoration to make this season, you’ve just found it. This easy crochet Easter bunny and chick bouquet combines two of the most beloved Easter characters into one charming, giftable arrangement that looks like it came straight from a boutique shop — but you made it yourself, with yarn and a hook, in just a few hours.

Whether you’re brand new to crochet or you’ve been crocheting for a while and want a quick, satisfying project that practically begs to be gifted, this tutorial walks you through both the bunny and the chick step by step. By the end, you’ll have a sweet little bouquet perfect for Easter baskets, spring centerpieces, teacher gifts, or just brightening up your own home.

Let’s dive in.

Why You’ll Love This Project

Before we get into the pattern itself, let’s talk about why this Easter bouquet is such a winner — especially for beginners.

First, both the bunny and the chick use the same basic construction technique. Once you’ve made one, the second comes together even faster. They’re both worked in the round, use simple increases and decreases, and don’t require any complicated stitch work. If you know how to do a magic ring, single crochet, increase, and decrease, you have everything you need.

Second, these little guys are small. Each one takes only a small amount of yarn, which makes this a fantastic stash-buster project. Those half-used skeins of white, yellow, and pastel pink sitting in your yarn basket? This is their moment.

Third, the bouquet presentation takes them from cute craft project to genuinely impressive handmade gift. Attaching them to wooden dowels or floral wire and arranging them with some faux greenery or ribbon transforms these simple amigurumi into something that looks polished and intentional.

What You’ll Need

Here’s your complete materials list before you start. Having everything ready at the beginning saves a lot of frustration mid-project.

For the yarn, you’ll want a small amount of white or cream yarn for the bunny — any worsted weight acrylic works beautifully here and is easy to find at any craft store. For the chick, you’ll want yellow yarn, also worsted weight. You can use the same brand for both so the finished pieces have a consistent texture. If you want to make a pastel bunny instead of classic white, soft lavender or pale pink looks absolutely lovely too.

For the hook, a 3.5mm or 4mm crochet hook works well with worsted weight yarn. Go down a hook size if your stitches feel too loose — tight, even stitches are important in amigurumi because you don’t want to see the stuffing through gaps.

You’ll also need a small amount of pink or blush yarn for the bunny’s inner ears, a tiny bit of orange yarn for the chick’s beak, polyfill stuffing, black safety eyes in 6mm or 8mm size (one pair for each character), a yarn needle for finishing and sewing on pieces, scissors, and stitch markers to keep track of your rounds.

For the bouquet assembly, gather some 12-inch wooden dowels or sturdy floral wire, floral tape in green, faux greenery stems or ribbon, a small vase or mason jar, and a rubber band or zip tie to bunch the stems together.

A Quick Note on Gauge and Abbreviations

Gauge isn’t critical for these little characters since they’re decorative, but you do want your tension to be tight enough that stuffing isn’t visible between stitches. Work a few practice stitches before you begin and adjust your hook size if needed.

Throughout this pattern, the abbreviations used are: MR for magic ring, sc for single crochet, inc for increase (two single crochets in the same stitch), dec for decrease (single crochet two stitches together using the invisible decrease method), ch for chain, sl st for slip stitch, and BLO for back loops only.

Each round is worked in a continuous spiral unless otherwise noted. Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to keep your place.

Part One: The Crochet Easter Bunny

Head

Start with your white yarn.

Round 1: Make a magic ring, then work 6 sc into the ring. Pull the tail to close. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 stitches)

Round 5: Sc 3, inc repeat around. (30 stitches)

Rounds 6 through 10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches for 5 rounds)

Round 11: Sc 3, dec repeat around. (24 stitches)

At this point, insert your safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, spaced about 6 stitches apart. Use this moment to also consider embroider a small nose with pink or blush yarn — a simple “Y” shape between the eyes creates the cutest bunny face. You can also embroider a tiny smile with a few straight stitches.

Round 12: Sc 2, dec repeat around. (18 stitches)

Begin stuffing the head now, adding a generous amount of polyfill to give it a nice round shape.

Round 13: Sc 1, dec repeat around. (12 stitches)

Round 14: Dec around. (6 stitches)

Finish stuffing firmly, then fasten off, leaving a long tail. Use your yarn needle to close the remaining 6 stitches by weaving through the front loops, pulling tight, and securing with a knot. Weave in the end.

Body

Round 1: MR, 6 sc. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 stitches)

Rounds 5 through 8: Sc in each stitch around. (24 stitches for 4 rounds)

Round 9: Sc 2, dec repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 10: Sc 1, dec repeat around. (12 stitches)

Stuff the body firmly.

Round 11: Dec around. (6 stitches)

Fasten off and close as with the head. Set aside.

Ears (Make Two — White Outer Ear)

Ch 10, then sc in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. Ch 1, turn. Sc in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn. Repeat for two more rows total, then sl st down the side, across the bottom, and up the other side to create a border. Fasten off.

Ears (Pink Inner Ear)

With your pink yarn, ch 7, then sc in the second chain from hook and across. Ch 1, turn. Sc across. Ch 1, turn. Sc across. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Center the pink inner ear piece on the white outer ear and whipstitch around the edges to attach them together. The result is a layered ear with a pink center, just like a real bunny.

Fold each ear very slightly at the base to give them a natural curve, then sew them to the top of the head using your yarn needle and the white yarn tail. Position them symmetrically and sew through several times to make sure they’re secure.

Arms (Make Two)

Round 1: MR, 5 sc. (5 stitches)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

Rounds 3 through 5: Sc in each stitch around.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Stuff lightly or leave unstuffed — unstuffed arms give a softer, more floppy look. Sew one arm to each side of the body.

Assembly

Sew the head to the body, centering it carefully and working your needle through multiple times in different directions for a strong attachment. Once everything is assembled, your bunny is complete.

If you want to add a little cotton ball tail, you can tuck a small pom-pom or loop of yarn at the base of the body for extra cuteness.

Part Two: The Crochet Easter Chick

The chick uses the same basic construction as the bunny, just in yellow, and is slightly smaller overall.

Body (Worked from the Bottom Up)

Round 1: MR, 6 sc. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 stitches)

Rounds 5 through 7: Sc in each stitch around. (24 stitches)

Round 8: Sc 2, dec repeat around. (18 stitches)

Now insert your safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6, about 5 stitches apart. Embroider a small beak shape now or wait until after you’ve fastened off — it’s easier before the piece is fully stuffed.

Round 9: Sc 1, dec repeat around. (12 stitches)

Stuff firmly with polyfill.

Round 10: Dec around. (6 stitches)

Fasten off and close.

Beak

With your orange yarn, make a very small flat triangle. You can do this by chaining 3, slip stitching into the first chain to form a tiny triangle shape, then going around the edges with sc to give it definition. Alternatively, fold a small diamond shape of orange felt in half and glue or sew it onto the chick’s face. Both methods work wonderfully. Sew the beak between the eyes.

Wings (Make Two)

Round 1: MR, 5 sc. (5 stitches)

Round 2: Sc in each stitch around.

Round 3: Inc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

Round 4: Sc in each stitch around.

Round 5: Sc 3, dec repeat twice. (8 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Do not stuff. Flatten the wing and sew one to each side of the body with the wider end toward the top.

Optional Comb

Cut three small pieces of yellow or orange yarn, each about 1 inch long. Thread each one through the top of the chick’s head using your yarn needle and tie a small knot at the base so they stand up. Trim to a uniform height. This little comb adds so much character and only takes a minute.

Assembling the Bouquet

Now comes the really fun part — turning your two little characters into a beautiful Easter bouquet.

Take a wooden dowel or piece of sturdy floral wire and use a hot glue gun to attach it to the underside of each character’s body. Allow it to dry completely before handling. If you want a sturdier attachment, wrap the base of each figure around the wire before gluing, or sew through the bottom of the body and wrap the yarn around the wire several times before securing.

Once the glue is dry, wrap each stem with green floral tape, starting from just below the figure and working down the entire length of the dowel. Floral tape is self-adhering and only sticks to itself, so just stretch it gently as you wrap. It gives the stems a beautiful finished, natural look.

Now arrange your stems alongside two or three faux greenery picks or small spring flower stems. Lily of the valley, little fabric daisies, and baby’s breath all work beautifully here. Add a few pastel ribbon loops if you like — cut a ribbon about 8 inches long, fold it into a loop, twist the base, and attach it with floral tape just like the other stems.

Gather everything together, adjusting heights so the bunny and chick are slightly different levels for visual interest. Once you’re happy with the arrangement, secure the bases together with a rubber band or zip tie, then wrap that with more floral tape or a ribbon tied in a bow.

You can display this bouquet in a small bud vase, a mason jar wrapped with twine, or a simple glass vase. It also looks beautiful wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon at the top, exactly like a real flower bouquet — which makes it an incredibly sweet and memorable handmade gift.

Tips for Making This Project Even Better

Use stitch markers religiously. In continuous spiral crochet, it’s very easy to lose track of where your rounds begin and end. A simple piece of contrasting yarn looped through your first stitch of the round is all you need, and it saves a lot of frustration.

Don’t skip the safety eyes. The eyes make an enormous difference in how expressive and professional the finished pieces look. Safety eyes are inexpensive and widely available online and at craft stores. Just remember to insert them before you close up the piece — once the opening is sewn shut, it’s very difficult to add them.

Stuff firmly but not too tightly. You want a nice round shape, but over-stuffing can distort your crochet fabric and make lumpy spots visible. Add stuffing gradually and check the shape as you go.

Weave in your ends carefully. Nothing ruins an otherwise polished amigurumi like a stray yarn tail poking out. Thread each tail onto your yarn needle and weave it through several stitches in different directions before trimming close to the surface.

Try different color combinations. A lavender bunny with white inner ears, a pastel blue chick, a mint green arrangement — the possibilities are endless and each version feels fresh and unique. These also make wonderful decorations in a child’s Easter basket when made in bright, cheerful colors.

Ideas for Gifting and Displaying Your Bouquet

One of the things that makes this project so special is how many ways you can use the finished bouquet. Here are just a few ideas to get you thinking.

As an Easter basket centerpiece, the bouquet can stand in the center of a basket surrounded by colorful Easter eggs, candy, and tissue paper. It becomes the focal point of the whole arrangement and something the recipient will keep long after the candy is gone.

As a teacher gift, a handmade Easter bouquet is meaningful, personal, and genuinely impressive. Attach a small tag that says “Happy Easter from your crochet-loving student” and you’ve got a gift that stands out from the standard candle or gift card.

As a home decoration, display it in a vase on your Easter table alongside some pillar candles and a few scattered eggs for a simple, cohesive seasonal tablescape.

As a baby shower gift for a spring baby, this bouquet makes an adorable decoration for a gender-neutral or Easter-themed baby shower. You could even make a tiny set and sew them together into a mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different yarn weight? Yes, you can use DK weight for smaller figures or bulky weight for larger, chunkier ones. Just adjust your hook size accordingly and expect the finished dimensions to vary.

What if I can’t find safety eyes? You can embroider eyes using black yarn. Make a small French knot or a flat satin stitch circle for a simple, sweet look. Alternatively, small black buttons work well for decorative pieces that won’t be given to young children.

How long does this project take? Most crocheters can complete both figures in about two to four hours, depending on their speed and experience level. The bouquet assembly adds another twenty to thirty minutes. It’s a perfect weekend afternoon project.

Can I wash the finished bouquet? If you use acrylic yarn, you can gently hand wash the crocheted figures if needed. However, since the bouquet has wire or dowel elements and possibly hot glue, it’s best kept as a decorative piece rather than a washable toy.

Is this pattern suitable for kids? The crocheting itself is suitable for older children and teens who have basic crochet skills. However, safety eyes are small parts and should only be used on pieces made for adults or supervised children. For gifts intended for babies or toddlers, use embroidered eyes instead.

Spring projects like this one are a reminder of why so many of us fell in love with crochet in the first place. There’s something magical about turning a simple skein of yarn into something that makes people smile — and a little Easter bunny and chick bouquet, made by hand with care and creativity, does exactly that.
