A Crochet Easter Egg Tutorial (how's that for a snappy title...)

So, here we go. Ingredients.... 3.5mm hook 8ply wool (this is what I used but any size hook and yarn will do). Stuffing. N.B. Rounds are worked in continuous spirals. Abbreviations can be found here.

Ch 2 then 6sc into 2nd ch from hook. Ss into first st. (6)


Round 1. 2sc into each st until end of round. (12)


Round 2. 1sc into every st until end of round (12) Round 3. *1sc


into first st then 2sc into following st. Repeat from * until end of round. (18)


Round 4. 1sc into every st until end of round. (18)

Round 6. 1sc into every st until end of round. (24)

Round 14. *1sc into the following st then skip st. Repeat from * until the hole is small enough to finish off.


Give your egg a little squish and a roll and then you are done. Have fun - I can't wait to see some stripy ones out there and maybe even crazy ones with eyes and ears.... you could even take the ears from the Flora Rabbit pattern.


Good luck!!! Lots of love, Kate xxooxx.
