#2. Easter Chick Basket Free Knitting Pattern
This Knit Easter Chick Basket is easy and fun to make! It’s knit flat (entirely in Garter Stitch), so it’s perfect for beginners.
The basket has a small opening so it’s perfect for holding candy. This little chick would also make a great addition to a kid’s Easter Basket (I wouldn’t recommend this for very small children because of the button eyes).

#8. Easter Eggs Brioche Knitting Pattern
Egg or leaf? Well, it’s up to you! Either use it as a decoration, place it on top of a neatly wrapped present or arrange it together with classical Easter decorations. I´m very excited to see how you will use it.
This pattern is a good possibility to use your leftover yarn. Choose a light main color and combine it with a darker speckled yarn to create this lovely Easter decoration.
The pattern is a perfect chance to learn and practice brioche increases and decreases. If you never tried brioche before, maybe this little project is a good challenge. There are only 14 pattern rows to be knit, other rows are straight brioche knitting. So don´t be afraid of brioche knitting any longer. You don´t have to be.

#9. Easter Egg Treats Free Knitting Pattern
These little characters are all based upon the easiest of patterns. The main piece is just a garter stitch tube, with one half pushed inside the other half. This double knitted thickness and the stretchiness of garter stitch holds a chocolate egg securely in place, until it is squeezed out.
The addition of wings, ears etc transform the main piece into four versions – Chick, Duck, Bunny and Mouse. From our postbag we know that knitters are always looking for simple Easter patterns, so I’m sure these designs will be very popular.
