Easter: Egg, bunny and other makes to knit and crochet

We love decorating our homes with handmade items at Easter.

Seeing the look on guests' faces when they see all of our carefully-crafted makes as they arrive for a hot cross bun on Good Friday or roast on Easter Sunday gives us so much satisfaction.

From crocheting a bunny for the kids to cuddle to knitting a hen tea cosy to ensure your breakfast brew stays toasty, there are so many options for getting creative at this time of year.

We've even got a selection of patterns to make crochet eggs - perfect for anyone who's not a fan of the chocolate variety.

If we've tempted you to dig out your needles or crochet hook, we suggest getting started on a pattern or two from our round-up. We've included projects to suit every skill level.
