EASTER EGG

The egg on the left was made with an E hook and the egg on the right was made with an I hook.

This is what the eggs look like in the basket with grass.

The following pattern is my original design.
Please only copy or print this pattern for personal use.

MATERIALS:

Hook: Size I for large egg. ~ Size E for small egg.

Yarn: Jamie Baby Yarn (I used #288 ~ Parfait Print in the large egg and peach in the small egg for the example)

Polyfil (small amount)

Stitches used: ch, sl st, sc.
PM = Place Marker

Difficulty: MEDIUM (I chose medium because of the Sc Dec stitch being used)

NOTE: This pattern is worked in a countinous round.

BASE: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hk. Place marker (PM).

FINISH: Insert hook up through the egg to where you fastened off the yarn. Draw the yarn tail into the center of the egg to hide it.

NOTE: You may need to shape the egg once finished, just work it in your hands till it looks like an egg shape.
