Easter Basket Cross Stitch Patterns

I feel like every year for every holiday I’m looking for different ways to share patterns on a theme, and I’m a little surprised I’ve never done a post of Easter basket cross stitch patterns (that I could find anyway) so let’s get into it.

These cute bunnies in a basket from SVStitch aren’t super Easter in their look, so you could display this one through the spring and beyond. In fact it looks like the bunnies have apples so this could even be a fall project. It measures 97 by 69 stitches and uses 18 or 19 colors and blends. When worked on 16 count fabric it measures 5.91 by 3.94 inches, or 15.40 by 10.95 cm.

For a design that’s much more obviously spring, there’s this basket of flowers with eggs on the side. Designed by Galart Designs, this project measures 188 by 182 stitches and uses a staggering 75 colors, but at least it’s all whole stitches? Worked on 14 count fabric this design would be 13.3 by 12.9 inches, or 34 by 33 cm.

This gorgeous watercolor eggs and flowers design from Laser Arts Designs would be another lovely choice that will keep you busy for a while. The design is 181 by 183 stitches, and their designs use 20 to 25 colors at most. (This one looks like it’s on the high end.) It comes out to 12.9 by 13.1 inches or almost 33 cm square on 14 count fabric.

Design for Cross Stitch has an Easter basket cross stitch pattern that’s a little less realistic but still plenty cute. And you could change the colors on the eggs if you like to suit your decor. As shown this one uses 14 colors and measures 156 by 144 stitches, which comes out to 11.14 by 10.29 inches (or 28.3 by 26 cm) on 14 count fabric. The patternhttps://tidd.ly/4b4IUdx lists other sizes if you want to make it smaller.

I also like this simple (by comparison) and smaller design from Helen’s Crossing. at 75 by 75 stitches, or 5.5 inches/almost 14 cm square on 14 count fabric, this one is downright small compared to the others. But it still uses 24 colors so it’s a nice challenge on a smaller scale.

Whether you’re stitching up a sweet little basket full of eggs, a playful bunny scene, or a charming spring motif, these Easter Basket Cross Stitch Patterns are the perfect way to celebrate the season with needle and thread. ???

Cross stitch is such a peaceful, rewarding craft — and with these festive designs, you can bring a touch of handmade magic to your Easter décor, gift-giving, or even greeting cards. From quick stitches perfect for a weekend project to more detailed designs you’ll treasure for years, there’s something here for every skill level and style.

So thread your needle, pick your favorite pattern, and let your stitches tell a story of springtime joy.

Happy stitching — and may your Easter be full of color, creativity, and handmade happiness!

That headline pretty much describes the Under the Sea cross stitch pattern from Una Buena Pieza, which is covered with shells, fish and other creatures of the sea. It’s not intended to be an I spy, I don’t think, and most of the same kinds of animals are grouped together, but I think it would be fun for someone who didn’t stitch it to look and see what different things they can find within.

The pattern includes turtles, jellyfish, a whale, shark, ray, all sorts of fish and shells and I’m sure other things that I’m not noticing right now. Dolphins! Coral! Seagulls!

It looks like it would be super fun to stitch and fun to have on the wall during the summer months, or even hang in a kid’s room if you know a young one who loves the beach or ocean animals.

The design is 110 by 220 stitches. It comes out to about 8 by 16 inches, or 20 by 40 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors.

This design looks great on light blue fabric as shown, but in the pattern listing on Etsy you’ll also see what it looks like on a darker blue and a white fabric, and they all look pretty good so you can use whatever color you like to suit your decor or your idea of what color the “ocean” should be. There’s even a customer photo that looks like it was done on a sort of tie-dyed green fabricc, which is really fun.

However you stitch it, I think this project would go faster than you imagine because there are so many fun little things to stitch. It will be hard to get bored when you can just move on to a different animal or part of the design.
