I am so excited to share the next coaster in the Easter coaster making series- the Little Bunny Easter Coaster! If you didn’t see the Baby Chick Easter Coaster, click this link to check it out.
This pattern is slightly annoying since there are single color changes for the eyes and nose- I try to avoid weaving in ends whenever possible. However, this one is super simple from a graph standpoint and should be fun to work through!
The next patterns in this mini Easter coaster series is an Easter egg and Easter basket. These coasters will make an excellent addition to your home decor this year and years to come. (Also, if you want to know what other posts have been planned for April, check out this most recent post with hints!)
Let’s Get Started!

Tips Before Starting: No one likes to weave in a million pesky yarn ends from color changes! For this pattern, carry the Hot Blue through the Ecru parts instead of cutting after every row.
Instructions: Little Bunny Easter Coaster crochet pattern
Below is the graph for this pattern. This is a coaster made with single crochets, so each square on the graph is one single crochet stitch. In other words, this is 13 single crochets by 13 single crochets, and then we crochet a border around it.
I start graphs from the top left. The written instructions are written from the top, from left to right, and then continues row by row.
Odd rows: Work left to right
Even rows: Work right to left

Making the Edge
I like to have a finished edge on all my projects, so I did a basic sc around the edge, making 3 sc in the corners. Do this twice.
