Crochet Easter Wreath — Eggs in the Nest Free Pattern
This crochet Easter wreath is the easiest spring decor upgrade ever — turn those tiny Mini Easter Eggs from any craft store into a heirloom-worthy work of art! The crochet Easter wreath uses a wooden nest wreath as the base, your handmade crochet Easter eggs scattered throughout, and an optional crochet bow for the finishing touch. Quick, beginner-friendly, and stunningly springy. 🐣
The crochet Easter wreath pulls together my obsession with wreath-making and crochet appliqué into one perfect spring decor project. Make the crochet Easter eggs in your favorite pastel colors, attach them to a wooden nest wreath with floral wire, and finish with a sweet crochet bow. The whole assembly comes together in an evening once your eggs are made. Free video tutorial and pattern below!

Another Variation

Want to take the crochet Easter wreath up a notch? Add a crochet bow! The bow pattern is pictured below and adds a sweet pastel ribbon look to your nest wreath. Choose a contrasting pastel color that ties the egg colors together.

Tips for the Perfect Crochet Easter Wreath
- Make extra eggs: the crochet Easter wreath looks fuller with 12-15 mini eggs rather than just 6-8. Don’t skimp on the eggs.
- Stick to a palette: pick 3-4 colors max for a polished look. Pastel pink, mint, lavender, and cream work beautifully together.
- Use floral wire (not glue): wire lets you adjust placement and reuse the wreath next year. Hot glue locks eggs in place permanently.
- Cluster eggs strategically: arrange the crochet Easter wreath eggs in groups of 3 rather than spreading them evenly — clusters look more natural.
- Stuff eggs firmly: well-stuffed eggs hold their shape and look more polished than floppy under-stuffed ones.
- Add a bow at the top or bottom: the crochet bow looks great at the top of the wreath (where it hangs) or peeking from the bottom.
- Store carefully: wrap finished wreath in tissue and store in a box to keep eggs and bow looking fresh year after year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the crochet Easter wreath take? About 4-6 hours total — 3-4 hours to make the mini eggs, then 1-2 hours to assemble on the wreath.
What size wooden nest wreath should I use? A 12-14 inch wooden nest or twig wreath works perfectly for the crochet Easter wreath. Larger wreaths need more eggs to fill.
Can I use store-bought eggs? Sure! The crochet Easter wreath also looks great with a mix of crochet and store-bought eggs. But handmade eggs are the star of the show.
What yarn works best for the eggs? Soft DK weight baby yarn like Bernat Softee Baby in pastel colors. Cotton yarns also work beautifully for a more crisp look.
How do I hang the wreath? Most wooden nest wreaths have built-in loops on the back. Add a ribbon or twine for door display.
Can I sell finished wreaths? Yes — small batch sales are allowed for personal income with the crochet Easter wreath patterns. Please credit SeeLoveShare as the designer.
