Easter Crosses – Free c2c Crochet Pattern

Get the free, corner to corner, Easter crosses crochet pattern as part of the Holiday Collections Blanket.


April, for me, is about the cross and all it stands for, so the Easter square is 3 crosses on the hill. If this isn’t how you celebrate Easter, I do have the tulips bonus square available instead.

Our c2c square for April uses only 3 colors brown, green and white (or the colors you choose).

The Holiday Celebrations Blanket is 12 monthly squares – one to celebrate each of the 12 months. Some will be holiday squares, some will celebrate other things such as the seasons. At the end of the year you’ll have a finished blanket!

If you’d like all the squares ahead of time and not wait for each month’s release, the bundle is available below.

HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS BLANKET


The Holiday Celebrations Blanket will be 12 months of patterns – one releasing each month, plus 6 bonuses if you’d like to swap one out for something else.

You will have the option to purchase the bundle at a discount so you can make them at your own pace and not have to worry about coming back each month for the new pattern of the month.


Why holiday squares?


My 14 (almost 15) year old daughter wanted to crochet one of my c2c squares. That led into an entire conversation of her asking if she could make “a bunch of squares” for me and make them into a blanket for herself. Why, yes you can!

So we talked for a while and came up with a plan for a whole blanket circling around the holidays and what we celebrate each month.


April showcases Easter crosses.


Let’s show April some love! Choose your own colors or work it in the colors we used.

If you’d like to see all the squares from the blanket, you can see the Holiday Celebrations Blanket HERE.
