Bunny Cross Stitch Patterns For Easter

I’ve done a collection of Easter bunny cross stitch patterns before, but I wanted this selection to be less seasonal so you can stitch them up and keep them on display through the spring and summer.

I love this set of four little bunnies doing bunny things from Sweet Stitchy Studio. The full pattern is 91 by 86 stitches and uses 9 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 6.5 by 6.1 inches, or 16.5 by 15.6 cm. You could also stitch a single bunny onto a project or put in a single frame if you’d rather.

There are lots of rabbits out there that are covered with flowers, like this one from Nathnolu. The pinks and greens in this one give it a vintage look. The pattern uses 10 colors and is 85 by 19 stitches, which some out to 6 1/8 by 6 5/8 inches, or 15.4 by 16.7 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another option in the same genre but with quite a different look is this one from The Fresh Cross Stitch. To me this one feels more like spring with its light pastel colors. This one is 150 by 150 stitches and uses 12 colors. With 14 count fabric it comes out to 10.7 inches, or 27 cm square.

This sweet little bunny from Cross Stitch Paterns is stopping to smell the flowers along with the bees. This one would be adorable for a kid’s room, and you can change the color of the flower to suit your decor. The pattern is 57 by 52 stitches, which is 4.07 by 3.71 inches, or 10.34 by 9.43 cm, on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors.

Or you can stitch up this dapper little bunny with a pattern from Kits By SA Stitch. This little guy looks all set to go out with someone special in his little bow tie and with a bouquet of flowers. The design uses 28 solid colors and 12 blends and measures 81 by 107 stitches. That’s 5.9 by 7.7 inches, or 15 by 19.5 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Stitchissimo is an Etsy shop based in Bulgaria that has a heavy focus on bookmarks and cards, often with a religious spin, as well as adorable animal cross stitch patterns. Let’s take a closer look.

The biggest category in the shop (though not by much) is baby animals, and there are lots of cute options, from a horse to butterflies, a capybara to sea creatures, farm animals and more.

Since this is a year when ducks are really popular, here’s their duck cross stitch pattern, which is pretty representative of the style of these projects. This mini cross stitch design is just 27 by 33 stitches and it uses four colors, making it a great option for someone new to cross stitch (which all of the animals would be).

On 14 count fabric the design comes out to almost 2 by 2.4 inches, or 4.9 by 6 cm, so it would fit in a three or four inch hoop.

Coming in a close second is the bookmark section (there’s also a separate kids’ bible bookmark category), which includes a wide variety of projects often featuring flowers, fruit or some other image along with a quote from the bible. The kids’ section is the same, only with cute animals decorating them instead of flowers.

There’s also a large collection of Christmas and winter themed projects. Many have a religious bent such as nativity scenes and angels, but there are also snowmen, Christmas foods and winter scenes with cute animals.

Other categories include sentiments to stitch for greeting cards, spring and Easter themed projects and “boy decor” (mini cross stitch patterns of vehicles). Smaller categories include summer, autumn and the Fourth of July.

These projects are cute and colorful, and a lot of them are small, which makes them great for beginners. It’s an especially great place if you like religious themed projects and bookmarks.
