Easter Eggs-travaganza

Welcome crafters, artists, and all those who want to have a bit of fun to celebrate spring or the upcoming Easter holiday!

This is the time of year where something simple, like an egg, can become a colourful masterpiece! That’s right, it's time to decorate eggs! But let’s mix things up a bit, break out of our shells, and explore our creativity!

Do you like to draw or colour? Maybe you prefer to paint? Is crochet more your speed? Wood carving? Craft in any other way? Then join in the Eggs-travaganza, and share with us your own version of an Easter egg! Of course good old fashioned coloured eggs are always welcome too!

As you can see I chose to crochet a few eggs. If you’d like to try, here is a simple pattern for all those who crochet!

Crochet Easter Egg Pattern (In US terms)

Materials:

• size e (3.5mm) hook (or size to suit your yarn weight)

• Medium/worsted weight yarn (heavier yarn will result in a larger egg, lighter will make a smaller egg)

• Stitch marker

• Your choice of stuffing material

Instructions:

This project is worked in spiral rounds so use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch in each round.

SC = single crochet

Magic ring

Round 1 - 6 sc into magic ring (6)

Round 2 - 2 sc in each stitch around (12)

Round 3 - sc in each stitch around (12)

Round 4 - 2 sc in first stitch, 1 sc in next stitch, repeat around (18)

Round 5 - sc in each stitch around (18)

Round 19 - sc 2 stitches together using front loop only, repeat around (6)

Cast off

Sew the end into each of the final 6 stitches to gather and close the egg

Work end into the egg

Notes:

I find this is a fairly simple pattern, and you can adjust the number of increasing and decreasing rounds you work based on your results.
