Mini Crochet Egg Amigurumi Pattern

I have always wanted to crochet egg amigurumi for Easter, and I am pleased to have made it this year. Since there are quite a few free crochet patterns of real-sized eggs on the internet, I decided to design my own mini Easter eggs instead. As a matter of fact, I got this idea after seeing some quail eggs on the grocery store’s shelves – they were so small and cute!

Creating these adorable mini crochet egg amigurumi is not only a relaxing and satisfying activity, but it also allows you to express your creativity in a fun, hands-on way. As you crochet each tiny egg, you’ll enjoy seeing vibrant colors and intricate patterns come to life. Whether you’re using them to decorate for Easter, as cute little accents around the house, or as thoughtful handmade gifts, these mini eggs instantly add a cozy, whimsical charm to any setting. Plus, they’re a fantastic way to use up those leftover yarn scraps from previous projects, making each Easter egg truly unique and eco-friendly.

This Mini Egg amigurumi pattern is easy to follow and requires only small amounts of yarn in various colors. You can mix and match hues to create a rainbow of little Easter eggs or stick to a particular theme for a more cohesive look. If the colors look familiar, it’s because I used up the leftover yarn from my previous projects, like the yo-yo puff hat and the granny square crochet top I made for my daughter. It’s a wonderful way to repurpose yarn, and every time I see these Easter eggs, I’m reminded of the joy I felt when making those bigger projects—adding a touch of nostalgia to each piece.

Crochet Egg Supplies

Material-wise, you need some yarns, a crochet hook, and polyester fiberfill for stuffing. I used a 3 mm hook size for a light-worsted or DK-weight yarn. You may use a thicker yarn (heavier yarn weight) to make a bigger egg or thinner yarn (lighter yarn weight) for a micro egg. Depending on your yarn weight, you need to change your hook size accordingly. Learn about different yarn weights and how they affect your crochet projects.

For the tools, a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors are all you need.

You may crochet the mini egg in a single color. However, if you choose to crochet colorful eggs, change the yarn color whenever you like. Remember to start the new color at the last yarn-over. Not sure how to change color? This is the perfect project for learning how to change colors in crocheting. We also have a guide for Crochet For Beginners; feel free to read up for more info if needed.

Just in case you ask, here’s the sewing pattern and tutorial for making the adorable bunny sachets you see in the picture!
