A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet bunny egg pattern: a Bunny in an Eggshell amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A white lop-eared bunny with pink cheeks peeks out of a cracked pastel blue and lilac eggshell, with a shell cap on its head and little paws on the rim. You need about 75 m of yarn: 40 m white, 20 m blue, 10 m lilac and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. A cute Easter gift or basket filler for bunny and spring lovers. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Bunny in an Eggshell

Beginner-friendly · 8 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 9 pieces in rounds: Eggshell, Bunny, Lop ear ×2, Paw ×2, Shell cap, Cheek ×2 (68 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 6 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

  15. Size before assembly: about 7.8 cm at the widest, 3.6 cm long; 17 rounds.
  16. Change to lilac (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R7).
  17. Change to blue (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
  18. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  20. Size before assembly: about 7.5 cm at the widest, 6.1 cm long; 25 rounds.
  21. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  22. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  12. Size before assembly: about 2.8 cm at the widest, 3.9 cm long; 12 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  13. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
  14. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a spoon: push the front wall into the back wall (not down to a thin plate) — a concave spoon about 3 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 28 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 50 %) --> Bend ≈ 90° around round 12<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds --><!-- drape relax_mm 6 twist 0 -->. The piece is soft and unstuffed: do not tack a fold. Sewn on as the assembly says, it bends over the head by itself and hangs down; the inner side of the bend faces down on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 12, 2.5 st from the centre front line, downward <!-- st 2.41 down -->). Let it hang still turned the way it is sewn on (pinch it a little at the seam): its inside stays visible, it does not lie against the head.

  5. Size before assembly: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 5 rounds.
  6. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  7. Size before assembly: about 4.3 cm at the widest, 1.3 cm long; 7 rounds.
  8. Change to lilac (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  9. Change to blue (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R6).
  10. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  3. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 10 mm (on the bunny): in round 19, 6 st apart (count along round 19: about 2.9 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Satin stitch (on the bunny): in rose thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 3.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 17 and 18, on the centre front line .
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the bunny), straight stitches through: (in round 17, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 17, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the bunny), straight stitches through: (in round 17, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 17, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
