Pick and choose between these two Easter crochet squares for use in blankets, pillows, table runners, and more. Make a blanket full of faith with the cross square. Create a colorful, fun blanket with the basket square. Put them together for an Easter wall hanging. So many possibilities of projects with these crochet patterns.
Using only two stitches makes them quick and easy to whip up. You will need a knowledge of double crochet and treble front post.

Want another idea of how to use these Easter crochet squares?
You will find them in the Here Comes Treble Blanket Collaboration. Myself and six other designers came together to create 20 (plus 1 bonus) squares. Each square has a raised design of some familiar objects or shapes. In this event, you can get the patterns free on each designers blog. It’s going on now until April 21, 2023. Click the button below for all the details and to find each day’s square.
If you are someone who prefers printable, downloadable PDF’s, and having them all now right at your fingertips, the pattern bundle may be the option for you. It includes general pattern information, all 20 squares (plus the bonus square), joining/border instructions, and charts. Button is below as well.
