Frog, Lamb, and Bird Spring Crochet Cups

If you loved my baby chick and hatching chick crochet cups, you might like to add these other spring designs to the set! Using the same basic pattern, make a Frog, Lamb, and little Blue Bird.

If you aren’t familiar with these crochet cups, it all started with my >>> BUNNY CUPS <<< which were made for holding a few small candy (or non-candy) treats! So easy to work up and great for Easter gift giving. Kids, teachers, neighbors, and friends will all love these!

What will you put in your crochet cups? I stuffed mine with fun dip candy, lollipops, stickers, fun size stickers, skittles, and more!

If you don’t like the back of the safety eyes poking through you can melt them. I haven’t personally tried this technique but HERE is the tutorial for Melting Safety Eyes.
