Crochet Easter Bunny Garland: Free Bunting Pattern
If you want to add some springtime charm to your house, you’ll love this crochet Easter bunny garland. It has the look of a vintage bunting, with the silhouettes of crochet bunnies and their fluffy tails all hanging in a row.
I like to do a little decorating for Easter each year, and I thought having a garland that looked like burlap (but was actually crochet!) would be really cute. With bunnies, of course. Using contrasting yarn colors gave me just the look I wanted.
If you have experience with colorwork crochet, you’ll pick this pattern right up. But if not, don’t worry. The free pattern below will walk you through it.

Tips for Getting Started
To make this Easter Bunny Bunting, you’ll use a technique called tapestry or colorwork crochet.
With this technique, you work with more than one color at a time, and alternate between them. There is a right side and a wrong side of the work, with the bunny design on the right side and the yarn carried behind on the wrong side.
If this technique is new to you, don’t be intimidated. I’ll explain more as we go and you’ll have it down in no time. This video tutorial by Happily Hooked is also super helpful if you’re new to colorwork.
The pattern below gives written directions for each row of the bunting panel. If you’d like the extra support of a colorwork chart as well as additional photos, you can find the premium version of this pattern on Ravelry or Etsy. The premium pattern has more step-by-side support in a printable PDF.

Finished Size:

Gauge – 20 rows x 18 stitches = 4″.
Pattern Notes:
This pattern has colorwork between tan and white yarn. This style of colorwork, called tapestry crochet, requires switching between colors without fastening off. There is a right side and a wrong side of the pattern (marked in each row). The right side of the work will show the bunny image and the wrong side will hide your color changes.
When working on the right side, I recommend carrying the tan yarn behind your stitches and crocheting over it when crocheting with the white yarn. Then, when working on the same right side but crocheting in tan, I recommend dropping the white, only picking it up when needed.
When working on the wrong side, I recommend dropping the yarn you’re not using until you need it. Then, pick it up, allowing the extra yarn to float behind your stitches
Each bunting panel is worked upside down, followed last by the bunting points.

Final Steps
After you’ve finished making your bunting panels, I highly recommend blocking them. This will prevent the individual crochet panels from curling up around the edges and give each panel a finished look.
To block my panels, I sprayed them with water, then pinned them to a foam board until they were completely dry. Next, I made little pom-poms with my white yarn and attached them to each bunny’s backside. This video By GiddyUp Workshop gives a great tutorial on making small pom-poms.
To string the panels up, I used my tan yarn and wove it through the tops of the panels. Then I hung them up (across our family piano) and added some extra Easter decorations above them.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this free crochet Easter bunny garland pattern! I know it’ll get lots of compliments at Easter and will make you smile for years to come.
