1. Pastel Easter Eggs
Amigurumi eggs are a great crochet project because they can be used as decor or in Easter egg hunts year after year. This pattern is for basic one-color eggs that are made with fingering weight pastel cotton yarn. You’ll only need to know basic stitches, so these eggs will work up quickly and easily.
2. Easter Eggs
Here’s another simple pattern for crocheted Easter eggs. These can be made with solid-color yarn or with multicolor yarn for a pop of springtime style. You’ll just need worsted-weight yarn and knowledge of basic stitches.
3. Mini Easter Eggs
And here’s a pattern for some fun mini eggs! To make these, you’ll need sport-weight yarn and knowledge of basic stitches. If you want to make multicolored eggs, you’ll also need to be comfortable with color changes and/or embroidering designs onto your eggs.
4. Crochet Spiral Easter Eggs
For a bit of extra fun, you can try making these spiral eggs! You’ll need four colors of worsted-weight yarn, and the designer has included a few color combinations using Red Heart Super Saver. You can choose one of her combos, or come up with your own! The pattern calls for easy stitches and includes a video tutorial, but make sure you’re comfortable with color changes before you begin.
5. Embroidered Easter Eggs
These amigurumi Easter eggs feature gorgeous floral embroidery, and they’re so spring-like and dainty. For this project, you’ll need DK yarn and knowledge of basic stitches. The egg itself is very simple to crochet, and then you can add whatever embroidered designs fit your fancy. The pattern even includes a video tutorial, so it’s great for beginner crocheters!
6. Decorative Easter Eggs
These fun Easter eggs can be made in two sizes, small and large. The designer used sport-weight yarn, but you can use any yarn and corresponding hook. I think they’d look super fun when made with bulky chenille yarn! The pattern calls for basic stitches, and while it doesn’t include instructions for decorating, you can get ideas from the photos: You could use multicolor yarn, change yarn colors to create stripes, or add embroidery!
7. Crochet Easter Egg Decorations
These colorful eggs are made with six colors of yarn. The pattern is written in UK terms, so if you need to convert those to US terms, check out this article. This is a good pattern if you’re a beginner who’s familiar with the basic crochet stitches and is ready to branch out and try a project where you combine those stitches and do multiple color changes.
8. Tulip Easter Egg
Aren’t these eggs just so gorgeous with their tulip motif? Best of all, they’re quite easy to make! The pattern is written in UK terms, so check out the article linked above if you need a conversion to US terms. And you won’t want to use stuffing with these amigurumi eggs, since they feature gaps in the tulip design, so pick up either some Styrofoam egg inserts or some plastic Easter eggs before you get started.
9. Happy Easter Wreath
Once you have the hang of making amigurumi eggs, you’ll be able to make this beautiful Easter wreath! The pattern only calls for easy stitches, and you’ll need both solid yarn (for the wreath itself) and ombre yarn (for the eggs).
10. Crochet Bunny Eggs
An even cuter version of amigurumi Easter eggs is bunny eggs! For most amigurumi, you’ll need yarn, stuffing, embroidery thread, and plastic safety eyes—but make sure not to use safety eyes if you’re giving these creations to kids under five years old, because they can be a choking hazard.
These amigurumi bunny eggs by Jen Hayes Creations are so adorable, and they’re customizable! You can use straight or floppy ears and customize their cute faces! Best of all, you only need to know simple stitches.
11. Amigurumi Bunny Egg
This bunny egg has a fun fluffy pom-pom tail! It’s made with worsted-weight Wool-Ease yarn and simple stitches, so it’s a good beginner project.
12. Easter Bunny Eggs
These basic Easter bunny eggs only require one color change, and that color change makes it look like the bunny is wearing an adorable hat! Aren’t the bunnies just so cute with their tiny safety eyes? For this project, you’ll need weight 2 yarn and knowledge of basic stitches. The pattern includes helpful progress photos, so it’s perfect for beginner crocheters.
13. Mini Easter Egg Bunny
These rabbits are detailed but still easy to crochet as long as you’re comfy with color changes and a bit of sewing. They’re so customizable with their hats, bows, flowers, colors, and embroidered shirts. To make them, you’ll need sport-weight yarn and knowledge of basic stitches plus how to work in the back loop only and front loop only. The pattern has tons of helpful pictures, so it’s a great opportunity to expand your crochet skills.
14. Bunny Creme Egg Cover
These bunnies are a great way to hide one of the best Easter treats: Cadbury Creme Eggs! There’s nothing better during an Easter egg hunt than finding a cute amigurumi bunny and and then realizing there’s a tasty treat inside! For this project, you’ll need bulky yarn like Paintbox Simply Chunky, and make sure to pay attention to gauge so the rabbit cover will fit on the creme egg.
15. Easter Egg Bunny Surprise
This pattern is great because it comes with two options: you can make a bunny to cover a plastic Easter egg, or a stuffed bunny that works all on its own. The cover is such a fun way to add decoration to your Easter egg hunt because your kids can still open the plastic egg to find candy waiting inside. The pattern calls for easy stitches, and to make the bunny, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn and either stuffing or a plastic Easter egg plus craft glue.
Next, let’s move on to Easter egg themed home décor!

These Easter egg placemats are super fun, and they’d be especially great for hosting an Easter brunch. You’ll need five colors of worsted-weight yarn.
