How to Crochet Easter Eggs - Crocheted Easter Eggs Tutorial

Learn how to crochet these adorable Easter eggs for Easter! Make up a bunch of these and display them in a crocheted doily bowl and you've got yourself a neat Easter center piece! These are relatively quick to make and are a great way to use up a sock yarn stash.

I used Premier Yarns Deborah Norville Serenity Garden Yarn in Mountain Heather but any fine weight (2) yarn will work. Finished eggs are just over 2 1/2" tall. One skein of yarn will make 10-12 finished eggs. I used an F size (3.75mm) crochet hook to make these.

Pattern:

Join after each round into the top of the first sc of round or insert stitch marker after last stitch of round and omit joining.

inc: 2 sc in the same stitch
