Skill level
The pattern is written for crocheters that are familiar with amigurumi. Difficulty level is intermediate/advanced. There are a few special stitches like BLO and Puff stitches. They are slightly modified, but - of course - explained.
Junior is the easiest one to make, while you might need a little peace, glasses and good light when you make the legs for Bunny Egg.
Size and Yarn
The Easter Egg will be around 6.5cm tall (2.6") if you work with the recommended hook size 2-2.5mm (US 0-B1 or steel 4, UK 14-13).Use regular cotton yarn for amigurumi.
It could be something like Scheepjes Cotton 8 or similar.
Colors could be:
- 502 white
- 710 grey
- 649 soft coral (or 715 nude).
- 639 Burned Orange.
I tried Scheepjes Organicon (Ravelry link), which was soft and lovely to work with. Even a bit thick and fluffy in the right way. Totally recommend this for a luxury project and if the egg is for decoration purposes only.
However, if you plan to use the Easter Egg as a toy, the yarn might get a little worn out faster than other yarn. At least that is what I experienced when I used it for samples and had to frog it several times.
