To honor her favorite holiday and candy, Page made these delightful jellybean shaped bean bags in a vivid spectrum of 100% wool felt. For safekeeping, she also sewed up a beautiful drawstring bag and presented the whole set to her daughter, Coco. Incredibly fun to touch and to play with, this Bag of Beans is a year-round favorite! 

Bunny Hat and Paws

Inspired by Easter brunch and its unfailing ability to bring springtime cheer to even the dark days of early April, Molly’s Spring Napkins add a lush burst of color to any vernal celebration. They’d be equally beautiful at an Easter table, a Passover seder, or a Mother’s Day brunch!

Knitted Easter Egg Ornaments

Whitney designed these amazing Knitted Easter Eggs to hang on her family’s traditional Easter Egg Tree year after year. Added bonus, these sweet little ovals are a great way to learn and practice the duplicate stitch! Stitch some up for your own pretty branch of forsythia, and welcome spring!

Sparrows Nest

A fuzzy nest of pale blue eggs is exactly what spring is about, delicate beauty and budding life. Unlike all of our practical knitting concerns, like warm hats and machine washable baby blankets, this project is perfectly frivolous. And it’s just right for Easter!

Bunny Hop Bunnies

When Jen saw these adorable bunnies from Knitting at Knoon she knew she had to make them. With darling accessories, like a tasty carrot and a bunch of daffodils, each bunny comes to life. What a sweet gift to make for your little bunny this year!
