Work this Chubby Bunny needlepoint pattern in basic needlepoint stitches. The colors of the Easter bunny can be easily changed and personalized, so you can make a bunny for every family member! Work a single Easter Bunny as a pillow front, Easter ornament or stand-up figure. Stitch a single bunny on the corner of a napkin using removable waste canvas.

2. Easter Basket

Make a batch of Needlepoint Easter Baskets for the Holidays. This needlepoint pattern uses the Wicker Stitch and other basic needlepoint stitches. The finished size of the basket depends entirely on the size of canvas used. In this sample, I used 16-count Mono Canvas canvas and stitched the design using just 3 colors of Tapestry Wool, which makes the finished size of the basket approximately 3" wide by 6" height (including the handle).
