How To Pick Your First Spring Make

If you want a toy: start with the garter-square bunny—no shaping, just folding and a touch of embroidery. If you want décor plus function: choose the chick basket for an easy, giftable holder. If you want fast color play: knit a half-dozen eggs to stretch scraps.

Keep fiber content in mind for longevity (cotton blends hold shape, acrylics are kid-friendly). Work at a firm gauge so toys and baskets keep structure, and use safety eyes or embroidered features for little ones.

By combining one or two of these ideas, you’ll have a full set of Spring knitting projects ready for the holiday table.

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a firm believer that there’s no problem a cup of tea and a few rows of knitting can’t fix. I’m not a professional designer; I’m just a girl obsessed with soft textures and the magic of turning a ball of yarn into something wearable. From my first (very wonky) scarf to my current projects, I love sharing the cozy highs and the 'oops, I dropped a stitch' lows of my knitting journey. Let’s grab our needles and make something handmade together!
