Project introduction
This is a pattern overview, not a full tutorial. It introduces two free Easter amigurumi projects from the designer Lennutas by Thao Nguyen: an expressive emoji egg and a calm little bunny egg. Both are beginner friendly, palm sized, and well suited to leftover yarn, table decor, or small seasonal gifts. For the complete row-by-row instructions, see the Original designer’s pattern and instructions, the authoritative source for every stitch.
About patterns
Both projects use US crochet terminology and are rated beginner level, with an estimated making time of about 1 to 1.5 hours each. The finished pieces are small, palm sized Easter eggs that can stay minimal or take on different eye styles, embroidered details, and color changes. Small tweaks give each egg its own personality, so one simple shape can become many different characters.
The source names the following materials. No hook size is given, so choose one that matches your yarn.
- Yellow, black, and red yarn for the emoji egg
- White, pink, and brown yarn for the bunny egg
- Stuffing, added in two stages as each body closes
- A yarn needle for the sewing and finishing the source describes
The pattern uses these standard US crochet abbreviations:
- MR: Magic ring (magic circle)
- Ch: Chain
- Sc: Single crochet
- Inc: Increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
- Dec: Decrease (sc 2 together)
- Dc: Double crochet
- Hdc: Half double crochet
- FLO: Front loop only
- BLO: Back loop only
- Slst: Slip stitch
- […] * X: Repeat the instructions in brackets X times
- (…): Number of stitches at the end of the round
The designer shares these patterns for personal use. You may sell finished items made by hand in small quantities if you credit Lennutas as the designer. Copying, sharing, or redistributing the pattern itself, in part or in full, is not allowed.
Pattern Overview #1: Easter Egg Emoji
The first project centers on expression. A simple egg shape with soft curves carries a face that changes with just a few stitches. It is designed as an easy, relaxing amigurumi make that suits leftover yarn and invites playful experiments with color and mood.
Body
The body begins with a magic ring in yellow yarn, then grows through rounds of single crochet with increases that shape the egg form. A change to black yarn marks the face area, after which the rounds shift into decreases that narrow the top. Stuffing goes in during the decrease rounds, first partially and then fully, before the last decreases close the opening. The maker fastens off and weaves in the ends. If tidy color changes are new to you, here is how to change yarn colors neatly so the stitches stay even.
Strap
The strap is a simple length of chain in yellow yarn, 36 chains long, with room to add or remove chains until it reaches the edge of the color change area. It is finished off with a long tail left for sewing it to the body.
Heart eyes (x2)
Two identical heart eyes are worked in red yarn. Every stitch of each heart goes into a single magic ring, combining chains, half double crochets, single crochets, a double crochet, and a slip stitch into the familiar heart outline. Each piece is finished with a long tail for sewing.
Assembly
Assembly is straightforward. The strap is sewn to the body along the edge of the color change, and the two heart eyes are attached across the face area. The finished emoji element is then fixed to the snail base. Because this is an overview rather than a tutorial, check the designer’s page for the exact placement rounds.
Pattern Overview #2: Bunny Egg
The second project keeps the focus on shape rather than detail. Small, calm ears and a minimal face give this egg a soft, handmade look. It works on its own or as part of a small Easter set, pairing quietly with the emoji egg or other spring makes.
Body
The bunny body starts with white yarn in a magic ring, building upward in single crochet rounds with increases. A switch to pink yarn at a back loop only round creates a color break, and decreases then taper the egg toward the top. Stuffing is added in two stages during the decrease rounds, before the final decreases close the shape and the ends are woven in. One detail sets this body apart: white yarn is joined into the front loops of an earlier round to work a small ruffle around the egg.
Ears (x2)
Two ears are worked in pink yarn from a magic ring, growing through increase rounds and shaping with gentle decreases. They are flattened instead of stuffed, then finished with long tails for sewing. If sewing pieces feels new, this assembly guide walks through a calm, careful way to join amigurumi parts.
Assembly
The face comes together with simple sewing and embroidery. A nose is sewn on with brown yarn, the eyes are embroidered with black yarn, and the ears are attached near the top of the head. Each placement follows the designer’s stated rounds, so check the original instructions for exact positioning.
From Easter to All Seasons
The two eggs belong to a bigger idea. What if one familiar shape could move gently through the year, telling a new story each season without getting complicated? That question led to the Snail Friends Crochet Collection, where every design begins with the same calm snail body while the shell carries the imagination.
Spring shells take on chick and bunny looks, Valentine’s Day brings a rainbow toned heart, a birthday shell turns playful, and summer gets an ice cream inspired shell. The structure stays familiar while only the theme changes, so makers learn the base once and reuse it across holidays. The collection is sold as paid printable PDFs with step-by-step photos, separate from the free web patterns.
Free PDF File
A quick note on formats. The written instructions live freely on the designer’s website. If you prefer a printable version, the source notes that a Close Friends membership unlocks the PDF files together with an ad free reading experience. A free web pattern never guarantees a free PDF, so choose the option that suits how you like to crochet.
Final thoughts
These two eggs were made in the spirit of calm seasonal crafting, with no pressure and no complexity. Whether you make a single egg or a small Easter set, each piece should feel light, personal, and enjoyable. If you crochet one, consider sharing your finished work on Instagram or Facebook in your own colors and at your own pace. You can tag @lennutas or leave a photo in the comments. Thank you for stitching along, one handmade piece at a time.
