What better pattern to share for Easter than a cross. This pretty cross is made using a small
steel hook and cotton crochet thread. I am so in love with how it came out! You can add a
loop at the top for hanging, add a tassel for a bookmark, or even add some beads for a little
color.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even
though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

— John 11:25-26 (NIV)

For best results, I recommend blocking these crosses. If desired you can also brush the
finished cross with either a homemade or store-bought stiffener. For stiffening instructions,
see my Star of Bethlehem pattern.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge
the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. — John 3:16-17
