Meet Eggburt The Crochet Bunny
Once upon a time, there was a little crochet bunny named Eggburt.
Eggburt was tiny and full of joy. He adored playing hide and seek, especially when Easter came around.
His favorite hiding spot was behind colorful eggs or under fluffy blankets.
Every Easter, Eggburt would hop around, giggling as he found the perfect hiding spot.
His friends would search high and low, but Eggburt always managed to surprise them with his clever hiding spots.
Eggburt's playful spirit brought happiness to everyone around him, making Easter a time filled with laughter and joy.
Crochet Stitches
For this amigurumi pattern, you will need to be familiar with the single crochet stitch, and how to make a magic ring also known as a magic circle to start the crochet pieces.
Invisible Decrease (invdec)
In this pattern, you will need to do something called 'invisible decreases. Do not worry if you are not sure how to do it! Check out our post on making a single crochet invisible decrease to learn all about it. It is easy, I promise!
Front Loops (FLO) And Back Loops (BLO)
In this pattern, you will need to know the difference between the front or back loops of stitches. If you are not sure what this means, check out our blog post understanding front and back loops in crochet. It explains everything in a super easy way.
Bobble Stitch
This pattern uses bobble stitch to form the legs, arms, and bunny tail. If you have never crocheted a bobble stitch see our page on how to crochet a bobble stitch to find out how.

What You Will Need
Yarn
We used acrylic #4 medium-weight yarn (also known as worsted, Afghan, Aran, or 10-ply) with 11 WPI (wraps per inch).
- 29.5 yards (27 meters) of yarn in a color of your choice.
Crochet Hook
- 4 mm (G/6)
Notions
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker
- Fiberfill toy stuffing
- 8mm safety eyes
- Nose - pink or black #3 light worsted yarn or embroidery floss - about 11 inches (30cm)
Finished Size
This crochet bunny measures approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the base to the tip of its extended ear, using the specified yarn weight and hook size.
Gauge
For this project, you don't have to worry about the gauge, but it's crucial to keep the stitches tight.
This stops the stuffing from popping out. If you see the filling showing, try using a smaller hook to make the stitches tighter.
