Easter Bunnies Free Cross-Stitch Pattern

Decorate your home for Easter with these cute little bunnies – you can use plastic canvas to turn them into charms, keychain pendants or even fridge magnets!

The free pattern designed by Nadezda Gavrilenkova uses the DMC color palette, the recommended canvas count being 14. A single bunny is 18 by 36 stitches, or about 1.4 by 2.8 inches. The patterns are mostly whole cross stitches, with backstitching used for facial features and to outline the bunnies.

You can stitch them on regular canvas and cut them out, or use plastic canvas for a bit more durability. On regular canvas you could make them into little ornaments for an Easter tree, patches to wear on a jacket, or stick a magnet to the back.

The plastic canvas version would be great as a keychain or a magnet, or if your kid loves backpack bling as much as mine does, make it into a pin or add a hook so they can attach it to their backpacks.

You could also just stitch it on regular canvas and not cut it out for a cute mini frame project. Or stitch a bunch with different patterns and frame them together!

The pattern is available as a free download from Wizardi.

Easter Bunny Cross Stitch Patterns

If you like repeating cross stitch designs, borders you can use on other projects or as bookmarks, florals and Japanese-inspired designs, you’ll want to check out 200 Japanese Cross Stitch Designs by Saeko Endo. This collection of 200 cross stitch charts is low on instruction but big on inspiration for those who are comfortable taking a chart and running with it.

The book includes a brief introduction to the needed supplies and basics of stitching, but mostly is just photographs of finished designs and the charts that go with them. The charts vary widely in size and there can be anywhere from one to six charts printed on a single page.

Many of the designs are repeating patterns, but the chart shows a larger version so you can see how the repeats go together. Each chart has marked what portion is repeating and how many stitches and rows it includes. Other than that the charts are not numbered, but there are darker lines every five rows to help you count.

The patterns all range from one to three colors, and some include half cross stitches or back stitching, but most are full stitches.

The book is arranged into categories of motifs: geometric patterns, retro patterns, traditional Japanese patterns, floral and fauna and borders and pictorial motifs.

My favorites are the Japanese designs, many of which are recognizable from woodcuts, kimono designs and traditional shashiko embroidery. You’ll find cherry blossoms, suns, knots, and simple line designs that would be lots of fun to stitch.

There are a few pages devoted to different ways to modify charts such as changing colors, changing the way to design is repeated, flipping and rotating designs.

Other than that you’re on your own for how you actually want to use these designs. Of course they can just be stitched and framed but it might have been nice to see some of the projects stitched and staged in a way you might use them in everyday life (repeating motifs as coasters, or a bigger design turned into a pillow, for example).

Sometimes it helps to see designs used in different ways to get you thinking about how you might use them yourself. If you don’t need that creative push, this is a fine book full of patterns you’ll have fun playing with in different ways.

About the book: 112 pages, paperback, 200 patterns. Published 2025 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
