Crocheted Easter Eggs are so much fun and the pattern is super simple!
Most of you know that I love to crochet. I just have a hard time finding the time :) This past weekend I set out to crochet some Easter eggs and developed this Crocheted Easter Egg pattern (after many futile attempts!) that makes eggs that are darn near the same size as a large egg and so fun to make! I think making this with bold and bright colors would be just beautiful too!
These Crocheted Easter Eggs are a great way to use up leftover yarn. I used some from baby blankets that I have made. You will also need some sort of filling – I used Poly-Fil.
I used an F hook and a variety of yarn. Change the colors where you wish to make your own unique Easter Egg!
Sc Dec = Single Crochet Decrease (Insert hook in first stitch, yo, pull up loop, insert hook in second stitch, yo, pull up loop, yo, pull thru remaining 3 loops on hook.)
Crocheted Easter Egg Pattern:
Ch 3. Sl st to form ring.
Round 1: 5 sc in ring.
Round 1: 2 sc in each st around. (10 sc)
Round 3: (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) repeat 5 times. (15 sc)
Round 4: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 st) repeat 5 times. (20 sc)
Round 5: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 st) repeat 5 times. (25 sc)
(I usually turn the egg inside out around this point.)
Rounds 6-9: sc in each st around (25 sc)
(Start stuffing the egg.)
Round 10: (Sc Dec, sc in next 3 st) repeat 5 times. (20 sc)
Round 11: sc in each st around (20 sc)
Round 12: (Sc Dec, sc in next 2 st) repeat 5 times. (15 sc)
Round 13: sc in each st around (15 sc)
Round 14: (Sc Dec, sc in next st) repeat 5 times. (10 sc)
(Finish stuffing egg.)
Round 15: (Sc Dec) repeat 5 times (5 sc)
Thread yarn though remain stitches. Pull yarn through the top of the egg to finish off.
Flower Instructions:
Ch 4. Sl st to form ring.
(Ch 3, sc. to form a petal) Repeat until you have the desired number of petals. I did between 5-7.
These are really cute. They remind me of the ones my mom has made in the past. Love the soft pastel colors. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the instructions. Your eggs are great for little hands.
Oh Trish! They are so gorgeous and just what I was looking for. I bet you crave girly things sometimes with 2 boys. You can make me girly stuff anytime! I love these.

LOL! Thanks Anne! I do crave girly things I’ll admit. Reece is great though because he tells me “Mommy, this is so beautiful!” when I make pretty things. Love that kid!
These are adorable! I can’t wait to make some.:) I would love it if you would be willing to share with us at our party going on now-Monday. Thanks

Great eggs, and you don’t have to make new ones every year or throw out hardboiled rotton eggs. Am hunting up some yarn almost as I write this. Came to visit via Made by you Mondays…
I have a whole crate of yarn balls. I promised I would use them all before I bought new yarn. I will be testing these out and using some of those balls now! Came via MBYM
Yay! These make up really quickly and are PERFECT for leftover yarn. Have fun and thanks for stopping by!
Those are absolutely the cutest eggs! Now I have the perfect solution to all of my extra yarn. Thanks for being a part of our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday.” We loved having you and hope you’ll be back! -The Sisters
These eggs are so sweet! Would you be willing to link this up to my Springtime Holiday Link Party? I’d love to have you! http://michellepaige.blogspot.com/2012/02/springtime-holiday-link-party.html
Thanks, Michelle
Those are neat. Did you stuff them with something? My 10 year old knits and crochets a lot. I think this would be a nice quick project for her.
This would be perfect since it’s single crochet the whole way! I stuffed mine with Poly-Fil but anything you have will work.
Thank you for the great tutorial. I re-worked your pattern a bit so that I could crochet around some plastic Easter eggs.. you can find my post about it here:

Very sweet. Really like all the pastel-ly colours from using yarn remnants from the baby blankets! The little flowers are the best :)
Thank you Claire! It’s a great way to use up leftovers :) The eggs needed a little something something so that’s where the flowers came in. Thanks for stopping by!
These are so sweet! I have no idea how to crochet, but this makes me want to learn. Thanks for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays Trish!
SO cute! I am going to have to whip up a bunch of these. I can’t seem to find plastic easter eggs here in Hong Kong, so all the cute tutorials for covering those aren’t helping me decorate! Love this!!! pinning!
