HOW TO CROCHET AN AMIGURUMI EASTER EGG BUNNY WITH FLOPPY EARS:

Start off with a Magic Ring – or – chain 2 and work into the first chain.

Rnd 1: Sc 8 into the magic circle – or chain 3 and work 8 into the first chain. (8 sc)

Rnd 2: Sc–inc in each stitch around. (16 sc)

Rnd 3: (Sc 1, sc-inc) 8 times. (24 sc)

Rnd 4: (Sc 2, sc-inc) 8 times. (32 sc) 

Rnd 5: (Sc 3, sc-inc) 8 times. (40 sc)

Rnd 6–12: Sc in each stitch around. (40 sc) >> add eyes (you can sew eyes on later if you’d like to.)

Rnd 13: (Sc 3, sc2tog) 8 times. (32 sc)

Rnd 14: Sc in each st around. (32 sc)

Rnd 15: (Sc 2, sc2tog) 8 times. (24 sc)

Rnd 16: Sc in each st around. (24 sc) >> Stuff egg.

Rnd 17: (Sc 1, sc2tog) 8 times. (16 sc)

Rnd 18: Sc in each st around. (16 sc)

Rnd 19: (Sc 2, sc2tog) 4 times. (12 sc)

Rnd 20: Sc2tog 6 times. (6 sc) Draw yarn through remaining 6 sc, cinch closed, tie off, weave in all tails. 

Adding the Eyes

I placed my eyes between Rounds 8 and 9 – about 7 stitches apart from each other. (see images below)

Bunny Ears (Make 2)

The smaller ears are not pictured – skip down to the large bunny ears to match the sample photo – also, use hdc to match the sample.

I used Hdc in the sample – the instructions for hdc-inc, hdc2tog (hdc-dec) and hdc are all in the abbreviations & stitch guide above.

Small Bunny Ears:

Rnd 1: Sc 6 into the magic circle – or chain 3 and work 6 into the first chain. (6 sc)

Rnd 2: Sc-inc in each stitch around. (12 sc)

Rnd 3: (Sc 2, sc-inc) 4 times. (16 sc)

Rnd 4: (Sc 3, sc-inc) 4 times. (20 sc)

Rnd 5: (Sc 4, sc-inc) 4 times. (24 sc)

Rnd 6 – 11: Sc in each stitch around. (24 sc) >>> mark each of these rows with stitch markers.

Rnd 12: (Sc 4, sc2tog) 4 times. (20 sc)

Rnd 13: Sc in each stitch around. (20 sc)

Rnd 14: (Sc 3, sc2tog) 4 times. (16 sc)

Rnd 15: Sc in each stitch around. (16 sc)

Rnd 16: (Sc 2, sc2tog) 4 times. (12 sc)

Rnd 17: (Sc 1, sc2tog) 4 times. (8 sc)

Flatten together and sc 4 to join. Ch1, tie off. Leave a long tail for sewing.

As Pictured (Large) Bunny Ears

For the sample, substitute hdc for sc, hdc-inc for sc-inc, and hdc2tog for sc2tog throughout all large ear rounds.

Rnd 1: Hdc 6 into the magic circle – or chain 3 and work 6 into the first chain. (6 hdc)

Rnd 2: Hdc-inc in each stitch around. (12 hdc)

Rnd 3: (Hdc 2, hdc-inc) 4 times. (16 hdc)

Rnd 4: (Hdc 3, hdc-inc) 4 times. (20 hdc)

Rnd 5: (Hdc 4, hdc-inc) 4 times. (24 hdc)

Rnd 6: (Hdc 5, hdc-inc) 4 times. (28 hdc)

Rnd 7 – 12: Hdc in each stitch around. (28 hdc) >>> mark each of these rows with stitch markers.

Rnd 19: (Hdc 2, hdc2tog) 4 times. (12 hdc)

Rnd 20: (Hdc 1, hdc2tog) 4 times. (8 hdc)

Flatten together and sc 4 to join. Ch1, tie off. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembly & Finishing Touches

Once you’re finished with the body & ears, position them like this and sew them on using the long tail. 

Step 1. Place the ears on top and slightly back as pictured (or wherever you’d like!) Secure with stitch markers.

Step 2. Once your ears are attached, we’re going to create a little nose. I used I Love This Cotton in Pink. You can use any pink scraps you have lying around. 

I went around and around until I got what looked like a bunny nose. LOL. You can watch the video if you need more help with this, I just winged it really. 

Step 3. I used some blush and a make up brush to add some cheeks and inner ears to give it a little depth. 

It turned out so cute! I didn’t add a mouth, but that would look super cute too! 

Congrats!  You are finished!
