Easter Embroidery Designs: Hand Embroidery Patterns and Kits To Inspire All Skill Levels

Easter brings another wonderful opportunity to tap into our creative side and celebrate the season with needle and thread, stitching one of the Easter embroidery designs and creating something fun and lasting.

Choosing a hand embroidery design to stitch can be a tricky task, which steals the time you could dedicate to stitching. To save you an evening of scrolling online, I shortlisted hand embroidery patterns and kits that are suited for Easter, created by talented embroidery artists. You won’t find any AI-generated designs here, just authentic work from the embroidery community.

Easter embroidery designs on this list span a delightful range of Easter themes and styles. You’ll discover charming bunnies and chicks, delicate florals perfect for spring, intricate religious imagery, and playful Easter egg designs. Style-wise, there’s a wonderful variety too: from traditional redwork and classic cross stitch to contemporary line art and whimsical illustrations. Some patterns work beautifully as framed art, while others are specifically designed for greeting cards, ornaments, or other Easter decorations.

Time commitment varies significantly across these projects. Quick designs can be completed in an evening or two—perfect for last-minute Easter gifts or when you want the satisfaction of a finished project, while more elaborate patterns will keep you happily stitching for weeks.

I also added some kits to the list. They include everything you need to get started, making them especially convenient for beginners or anyone who prefers not to gather individual supplies.

What will you stitch for Easter?

With so many beautiful Easter embroidery patterns to choose from, the hardest part might be deciding where to start! Which Easter embroidery ideas did you like the most?

If you find it hard to choose a design, consider what finished piece you would like to create. For example, a hen design would look cool on the apron or kitchen towel, while smaller, simple designs look great on the corners of the fabric napkins. Also, consider stitching a few smaller projects as thoughtful handmade gifts  – embroidered cards and ornaments are always appreciated and give you the chance to try multiple designs. And if you’re looking to build your pattern library without spending, the free designs offer great value and variety.

Whatever you choose to stitch, I hope this collection has inspired you. The embroidery artists featured here have poured their creativity and expertise into these designs, and supporting their work helps keep this beautiful craft thriving.

Happy stitching, and may your Easter be filled with creativity and joy!
