Materials: When using the suggested materials, it will be about 10 cm tall. The listed wool and hook sizes are only suggestions. It is, of course, entirely your personal choice, which yarn you use. Please keep in mind that different yarn may result in a bigger or smaller piece. Make sure to adapt your hook size according to your yarn and personal tension. When crocheting Amigurumis you should use a much smaller needle size than indicated on the label or you would use it for other crochet projects so that no holes are made when the piece is stuffed. Wool (Sport Weight), e. g. Schachenmayr Catania/Scheepjes Catona (cream, light beige or off-white, orange and color of choice for the bow (with me: Catania color afrika - Fb ), for the ears: fluffy yarn (with me: Woll Butt Maya beige) - you can also choose e. g. acrylic yarn (Sport) and brush it with a wired grooming brush for example until it looks like fur Optional: scrap of wool for a nest (I used super chunky) Crochet hook in suitable sizes, with me: 2.0 mm (Egg and feet) and 2.5 mm (Ears and bow) Stuffing Abbreviations (US Terms): MR = magic ring sc = single crochet dc = double crochet ch = chain slst = slip stitch inc = increase dec = decrease BLO = back loop only FLO = front loop only st = stitch (-) x = repeat inside of () for x nr of times Crochet in continuous rounds (spirals), unless otherwise stated.

Sew the feet on the bottom and the ears at the top to the back of the egg. The character itself is ready now. If you like, you can crochet a nice bow, too. Ribbon: Crochet in joined rounds (join each round with a slst and chain 1), the result will be more even. You may have to adapt the length of the foundation chain to fit around the egg. ch 45, join round with a slst in 1 st st (2 Rounds) sc in each st around, join round with a slst in 1 st st, ch 1 (45) 3. sc in each st around, join round with a slst in 1 st st (45) Fasten off, weave in loose ends.

4 Bow: Crochet in joined rounds (join each round with a slst and chain 1), the result will be more even. ch 40, join round with a slst in 1 st st (13 Runden) sc in each st around, join round with a slst in 1 st st, ch 1 (40) 14. sc in each st around, join round with a slst in 1 st st, ch 1 (40) First shape the bow with the yarn tail in the middle, fasten off, weave in loose ends. Small tape (For the middle): Crochet in rows. At the end of each row, chain 1 and turn. ch 14 (should reach around the middle of the bow), starting in 2 nd chain from hook: (4 Rows) sc in each st around, ch 1, turn (13) 5. sc in each st around, ch 1 (13) Put the small tape around the middle and sew it together at the back. Finally sew the bow on the ribbon with the rest of the yarn tail. I crocheted a small nest, I had a scrap of very thick wool (for hook size 15) - you can also double or triple thinner wool. Since not everyone has this wool at home, it is difficult to write precise instructions. It's not difficult, though. Just sc 6 in MR and increase 6 evenly spread stitches in each following round (the principle is in almost every pattern) until the desired diameter of the nest is reached. Now follows a round with sc in each st in the back loops only. Now make a few more rounds of sc without increases. Crochet as many rounds until the desired height is reached. If you crochet more than three rounds, I would increase 3 stitches every 3rd round. As a final round I added one more round with ch 1, slst 1 alternately, crab stitches would also be a nice edging. Now only some Easter grass was missing. Either actually use Easter grass or, like me, crochet a small

5 mat of loop stitches with green acrylic yarn for example. Here too I simply crocheted a circle, i.e. started with sc 6 in MR and then increased 6 stitches in each round until the inner diameter of the nest was reached.
