Spiral Crochet Bunny Egg Pattern

About the Pattern

A whimsical, three-dimensional bunny egg is made using a classic spiral crochet technique. This pattern produces a seamless egg-shaped body, perky ears, and round feet. The simple construction is ideal for springtime decor, Easter gifts, or whimsical toys. Embellished with safety eyes and a sewn nose, this amigurumi project stands on its own thanks to engineered foot placement.

Pattern at a Glance

• Worked in continuous spirals for a seamless look—no visible round joins.
• The egg body is formed by strategic increases and decreases.
• Separate ears and feet are crocheted and attached for character and balance.
• Stuffing ensures a three-dimensional shape.
• Facial features are inserted before final body closing for secure and accurate placement.

Important Notes

• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round, as no slip stitches are used to join rounds.
• Stuff the body firmly for shape, but take care not to overfill.
• Eyes must be positioned before the final decreases to allow for easy placement and safety.
• When sewing pieces in assembly, align carefully to achieve a balanced look and a bunny that stands upright.

Difficulty Level

Beginner to Intermediate.
Familiarity with working in spirals (amigurumi), increases and decreases, and basic sewing for assembly required.

Supplies Needed

• Worsted weight yarn in your desired color for the body and ears (cream, pale pink, or white recommended)
• Small amount of contrasting yarn for facial features
• Crochet hook (size to match yarn weight, typically 2.5mm or 3mm for tight amigurumi work)
• Safety eyes (appropriate size for your bunny egg, usually 5–6mm) or black yarn for embroidering eyes
• Polyester fiberfill or batting for stuffing
• Yarn needle for sewing and embroidery
• Scissors
• Stitch marker

Size & Measurements

• Finished bunny egg is approximately 7–9 cm tall (depending on yarn and stuffing)
• The base is slightly flattened by the feet for stability

Gauge & Stitch Details

• Gauge is not critical as long as stitches are tight to contain stuffing
• Amigurumi is typically worked at a smaller gauge than usual for dense, gap-free fabric

Crochet Abbreviations

• MR = magic ring
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase (2 sc in one stitch)
• dec = decrease (single crochet two together)
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• rep = repeat

Special Stitch Guide

• Magic Ring: Make a center-adjustable ring for beginning rounds.
• Increase (inc): Work 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
• Decrease (dec): Single crochet 2 stitches together (invisible decrease recommended).
