About this Easter Egg Crochet Pattern
This Easter Egg Crochet Pattern is ideal for beginners, featuring basic stitches and techniques. You don’t need to be an expert to craft this adorable toy. Just grab some yarn, a crochet hook, and a touch of patience, and you’re all set!
You’re welcome to explore various yarn options, though I suggest using a slightly smaller crochet hook size than usual. This method produces tighter stitches, preventing stuffing from showing and enhancing the overall appearance of your bunny.
Materials
- Yarn in white, pink, and yellow.
- Size 2.5 mm crochet hook. This is my absolute favorite crochet hook I recommend to everyone.
- Poly-Fil Fiberfill stuffing.
- 5 mm black glass or plastic eyes (or embroider instead).
- Black and pink embroidery floss for nose, eyelashes, and eyes if not using buttons.
- Ribbon bow (for decoration).
- Blush and a brush (for applying cheek color).
- Yarn needle, stitch marker, pins, and scissors.
What did I use?
I used Schachenmayr Catania yarn, 100% Cotton, 1.76 ounces = 137 yards/50 grams = 125 meters.
Gauge and Measurements
Gauge isn’t crucial for this Easter Egg Crochet Pattern; you can easily adjust size by using a smaller or larger hook and different yarn.
My finished toy measures 2.36 inches (6 cm) tall, excluding the ears. For those aiming for the same size, this gauge can serve as a reference: a 10-stitch by 10-row swatch in single crochet should measure 3.5 × 3.5 cm (1.38 × 1.38 inches).

The egg is ready (Photo 7)
Little skirt
Use pink yarn.
Hold the egg yellow part up, return to the remaining front yellow loops, insert your hook into any front loop, pink yarn over (Photo 1), pull the yarn through this loop, Ch 1 (Photo 2),
then crochet {1 Sc, 1 Dc, 1 Sc} in this loop (Photo 3), 1 Sl st into next loop (Photo 4),
repeat [{1 Sc, 1 Dc, 1 Sc} in one loop, 1 Sl st in next loop] x around to the end (Photo 4). Break the yarn and weave in the end. Ready (Photo 5).
Ear (make 2)
Using white yarn crochet a chain of 13
R1: 2 Dc in 4th chain from the hook, 8 Dc along the chain, 8 Dc into the last chain from the hook. Work along the other side of the foundation ch: 8 Dc, 2 Dc in the chain where we have already crocheted 2 Dc at the beginning of the round, finish with 1 Sl st into the place as shown in Photos 1 and 2 (30). Break the yarn, pull the yarn tail through the last stitch completely and weave in the ends on the wrong side.
R2: Insert the hook into the slip stitch we have just made, pink yarn over (Photo 3), pull the yarn through this st, crochet Ch 1 and 2 Sc into the same (Photo 4),
then [2 sc into the same st] x 2 (Photo 5), 9 Sc, [2 Sc into the same st] x 6 (Photo 6), 9 Sc, [2 sc into the same st] x 2, 1 Sl st into the 1st sc of the round. Break the yarn, pull the yarn tail through the last stitch completely and weave in the ends on the wrong side.
Crochet the second ear, break the yarn, leaving a 8 inches (20 cm) tail and pull the yarn tail through the last stitch completely.
Assembly
Hold the second ear, thread the yarn tail that we left before, fold the ears as shown in Photo 1 and sew them together at the bottom, then sew them to the top of the egg as shown in Photo 2. Hide the yarn tail inside the egg.
Embroidering and Decoration
Try placing the black glass eyes between rounds 17 and 18 with a distance of 4 stitches between them. Mark the nose with a pin on round 16 as shown in Photo 1. Then remove the eyes and embroider eyelashes with 2 strands of black embroidery floss as shown in Photo 2. Glue the eyes on, or alternatively, use embroidery floss in black color to embroider the eyes.
Use 3 strands of pink embroidery floss to embroider a simple stitched nose (Photo 3).
You can add a touch of blush to the cheeks and ears using decorative cosmetics. Sew ribbon bow as shown in photo below.
