Crocheting for Easter

Easter Egg crochet potholder

Do you enjoy crocheting decorations for holidays? I certainly do! I’ve got a brand new crochet pattern for an Easter Egg Potholder for you. This potholder is worked with 2 pieces: a front and a back for double thickness. Using worsted (#4) weight cotton yarn, it’ll keep your hands and fingers protected when removing a hot dish from the oven.

The potholder is worked in rows of single crochet with increases and decreases, as necessary, to form the egg shape. After crocheting 2 egg-shaped pieces, one round of single crochet is added to join the pieces together and to form the hanging loop at the top.

This pattern is easy enough for a beginner crocheter, since basic stitches are used. I’ve done a YouTube video for this pattern, as well, so you can follow along with me in the video and learn to read a crochet pattern while making this cute, useful potholder!

Here’s the pattern page to snag a copy of this pattern at a great price! Then you can crochet some potholders for your Easter celebration (with about 27 days until Easter!) or give one/some to a friend or family member.

I hope you enjoy this pattern and all your crochet projects!


Until next time!

FREE Easter Egg crochet pattern

Easter is right around the corner (1 month from tomorrow on April 5). To help celebrate Easter, why not crochet some Easters eggs during March? Here’s a great FREE pattern for basic crocheted Easter eggs from Red Heart yarns:

The FREE pattern can be found here. Since this pattern is from the Red Heart UK website, they’ve used a yarn that is available in the UK. But basically any DK weight 100% acrylic yarn, such as Anne Geddes Baby or Red Heart Baby TLC, could be substituted (or use a worsted weight yarn for larger Easter eggs). You could decorate these eggs however you like, with embroidery or stripes (or even puff paint!). You could even use a color-changing or multi-colored yarn for more visual appeal! Use pastel colors or bright colors, it’s your choice! The sky’s the limit when it comes to decorating Easter eggs!

 

Happy crocheting,

Susan
