Easter Bunny Amigurumi

Materials

• 2mm crochet hook 
• Two shades of yarn for the bunny (I used blue and white). Two different colors for the egg shell. I used 100% cotton, lightweight, 4ply.
• Black thread for embroidering the eyes. 
• Stuffing material
• Scissors
• Sewing needle.
• Or, you can use safety eyes! The position is at the end of this post.

Finish size:

The finished Crochet Easter Bunny measures approximately 8cm / 3,2 inches with the ears and 9cm / 3,6 inches the Easter egg. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

Terms and abbreviations (US terms):

Single crochet (sc): insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop yarn over the needle, you will have two loops on the hook, yarn over the needle, and pull it through the two loops.

Increase (inc): make two single crochet inside the same stitch.

Decrease (dec): Insert hook into front loop only of next two stitches, yarn over, pull through, you will have two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.

Back loop Slip stitch (blsl): Insert hook into the back loop only of the stitch, yarn over, pull through both stitch and loop on hook.

Back loop single crochet (blsc): Insert hook into the back loop only of the stitch, pull up a loop yarn over the needle, you will have two loops on the hook, yarn over the needle, and pull it through the two loops.

• Don’t cut the yarn, instead, crochet together with the bottom part following:

Here, you will grab only the back loop of one stitch of the finished bottom part of the egg and the back loop of the top part of the shell, which is the one you are currently working with.

• 8blsc crocheting together the top shell with the bottom.

NOTE: pay attention here that the back loop of the stitch from the bottom part of the shell is facing you (making it look like the “front loop“. But it’s just because of the position of the shell. The back loop should be facing inside the shell.

Attach two pieces of yarn to close the shell in round 16 of the top shell.

Cut the yarn and fasten it off.

Now, you have two options. Either add little buttons to be the opening and closing of the egg or, as I did, crochet the buttons by doing 7sc inside a magic ring, and joining with an sl.

Sew the buttons on round 9 of the bottom of the shell leaving 6 stitches between them.

Congratulations!!!
