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://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=KAHBSilxXt0&mid=54027&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Flisting%2F1840511736%2Feaster-basket-joy-seasonal-design-for 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. ???

Artmishka Cross Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Italy with lots of whimsical and colorful designs and an emphasis on animals, flowers and landscapes. Let’s take a closer look!

The animal section is by far the largest, and it includes everything from realistic birds to cartoony cats, a set of little chick ornaments for Easter and a blackwork butterfly, to name a few. There are little animals in clothes and scarves, and this sweet folk art style owl in modern colors.

This one (and lots of them, really, I think) was designed as nursery decor, and it calls for 10 colors, which you can of course change up to suit your decor, nursery or otherwise. The design is 95 by 95 stitches, which comes out to about 7 inches or 18 cm square on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave stitched over two strands.

Another large category is flowers, which includes birth month flower designs, flowers that look hand drawn and colored, floral wreaths with teapots and wedding floral cross stitch designs.

The sampler section includes a variety of small patterns, images with words, colorful geometric and floral designs, and a few holiday patterns. Christmas designs include stamps, Christmas trees, stocking, snowmen and a cute box of snowflake shaped Christmas cookies in a box with a mug of hot chocolate, to name a few designs.

There are also a fair number of designs in both the landscape and cottage categories. These include iconic landmarks and colorful sunsets, and buildings from beach houses to a mushroom cottage, book shop and a cottage with flowers bursting out of the roof. There’s also a section called girl, which has designs of a little girl in different outfits and situations and some other characters.

Other categories on the site with smaller numbers of patterns include boy designs, princesses, plants, hobby themed designs (sewing, knitting, baking), art and bookmarks. There are also a handful of cross stitch kits, all of the little girl character.
