The Bitsy babies look absolutely adorable in their Easter costumes—just right for a festive egg hunt in the garden!

Each doll even has a tiny basket to collect their mini eggs along the way.

These quick and easy dolls make lovely Easter gifts, or sweet surprises tucked away for little ones to find during an egg hunt.

You’ll find both Bunny and Chick versions included in this pattern—something for every Easter basket.

Bitsy doll bodies and heads are knitted all in one piece. After seaming and stuffing, you simply sew a seam from front to back to shape the legs. The arms are knitted separately and sewn on when assembling these adorable little characters.

This pattern is perfect for confident beginners. All the doll and accessory pieces are knitted flat with basic shaping, making them a relaxing and rewarding project.

Just check the recommended needle size for your yarn, then use a needle one size smaller.
That way, you’ll get a close-textured stocking stitch that holds its shape beautifully when stuffed.
