Easter Bunny Wall Hanging

Easter Bunny Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

What is Being Made

This is a decorative Easter Bunny wall hanging designed by Sarah Ruane, perfect for seasonal home décor. The finished piece measures approximately 13 inches wide by 14.5 inches in length when hung without tassels. The wall hanging is constructed to be displayed on a dowel rod or stick (approximately 14-15 inches) for easy hanging. When worked in worsted weight yarn instead of the recommended DK weight, the finished dimensions expand to approximately 17 inches by 22 inches, offering flexibility for different yarn choices and desired sizing.

Techniques and Construction Method

The Easter Bunny wall hanging is crocheted from the bottom up and is divided into three separate sections that are worked individually and then assembled. This modular construction approach makes the pattern manageable and allows crafters to work on distinct components before joining them together. The project is classified as a beginner-level pattern, making it accessible to newer crocheters while still creating an attractive finished piece.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch used throughout this pattern is single crochet (sc), which creates a tight, dense fabric ideal for wall hangings and decorative pieces. The gauge is measured at 17 stitches by 22 rows over a 4-inch by 4-inch square (10cm x 10cm) worked in single crochet, providing a reference point for achieving proper sizing and drape.

Materials and Yarn

• Main Color (MC): Sunshine yarn – 230 yards (210 meters) – 71 grams – 1 skein
• Contrast Color (CC): White yarn – 60 yards (55 meters) – 19 grams – 1 skein
• Hook Size for DK Weight: 4mm/G-6
• Hook Size for Worsted Weight: 5mm/H-8
• Additional Materials: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembly; dowel rod or stick for hanging (14-15 inches recommended for DK weight projects)

Yarn Weight Options

The pattern is designed to work with DK weight yarn as the primary recommendation, which produces the smaller finished dimensions of 13 inches by 14.5 inches. Alternatively, worsted weight yarn can be substituted to create a larger wall hanging measuring approximately 17 inches by 22 inches. The appropriate hook size adjusts accordingly: use a 4mm/G-6 hook with DK weight yarn or a 5mm/H-8 hook with worsted weight yarn. This flexibility allows crafters to choose their preferred yarn weight and customize the final size of their Easter decoration.
