Following on from my previous crochet folded Easter Rabbit decoration which used folded circles I have made a second crochet folded Easter rabbit decoration using granny squares. Granny squares are so versatile (theres so many different projects that use them) and they make up really quickly making this a perfect last minute make.

Perfect for gifting this Easter, they can be customised in any colour you like, and you could always sew a name on too. If you want a slightly smaller version only use three of the granny squares.

I’ve added a fabric version of this make to my Easter makes to do for next year!.
