Hello everyone !
Today, I share with you a very easy pattern to make in connection with Easter of course 😁
Small colored eggs to decorate your home for Easter, offer them to your children / grandchildren or just to make you happy.
Shortening
R: Row
sc: Single crochet
Inc: Increase
Dec: Decrease
*…*: Repeat around the row
For eggs with single color
I made them with a 3 mm hook and a 3.5 thread to have the following finished sizes:
Height 2.36 inchesWidth 1.57 inches
R1: magic ring with 6 sc
R2: 1 Inc in each sc (12)
R3: sc in each sc (12)
R4: *1 sc, 1 Inc* (18)
R5: sc in each sc (18)
R6: *2 sc, 1 Inc* (24)
R7 and R8: sc in each sc (24)
R9: *3 sc, 1 Inc* (30)
R10 and R11: sc in each sc (30)
R12: *3 sc, 1 dec* (24)
R13 and R14: sc in each sc(24)
R15: *2 sc, 1 dec* (18)
R16: sc in each sc (18)
Stuff with wadding.
R17: *1 sc, 1 dec* (12)
R18: sc in each sc (12)
R19: 6 dec (6)
R20: Reattach your thread (with your wool needle) into the outer strand of each stitch. Then, pull the thread. This allows a clean and invisible closure. Tuck the remaining thread.
