Mini Easter Eggs Crochet Pattern

This mini Easter eggs crochet pattern is so fun to work up and so easy too!! Play with colors, add a little embroidery, let your creativity run wild … . They work up so quickly that you’re sure to have a basketful by Easter!

These mini eggs measure approximately 1.5 in. tall when finished. I love making these mini crochet eggs along with this pattern for slightly larger crocheted eggs for a nice mix.

Add this pattern to your Ravelry library.

Notes: This pattern is written to be worked in a spiral, therefore it is helpful to use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds. If changing colors with each round you may refer to join rounds instead and start the next round with a chain 1.

Make a magic ring (as an alternative to the magic ring, you can ch 4 and join with a slip stitch in furthest chain from hook to form a ring).

Round 1: Work 8 sc into ring, do not join after rounds here and throughout (see note above), pull tail to close up ring — 8 sts.

Round 2: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, rep from * around — 10 sts.

Round 3: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, rep from * around — 12 sts.

Round 4: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, rep from * around — 14 sts.

Round 5: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 6 sts, rep from * around — 16 sts.

Round 6: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 7 sts, rep from * around — 18 sts.

Round 7: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 8 sts, rep from * around — 20 sts.

Round 8: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 9 sts, rep from * around — 22 sts.

Round 9: Work 1 sc in each st around — 22 sts.

Round 10: *sc 2 tog, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, sc2tog, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, rep from * 1 more time — 18 sts.

Round 11: *sc 2 tog, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, sc2tog, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, rep from * 1 more time — 14 sts.

At this point, fill with stuffing or yarn scraps to desired density, but take care not to overstuff.

Round 12: *sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next st, sc2tog, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, rep from * 1 more time — 10 sts.

Round 13: sc 2 tog around — 5 sts.

Fasten off, leaving a 6-in. tail. Use tail to weave in and out of sts from Round 12, pull to close up circle (Planet June has an awesome tutorial for finishing off amigurumi pieces). Weave in end. This is the bottom of the egg.
