Easter Egg Free Crochet Pattern

Easiest Crochet Egg Pattern EverEasiest Crochet Egg Pattern EverThis is a quick-and-easy egg crochet pattern to whip up a bunch of eggs when you need Easter or Spring Solstice decorations in a hurry. Once I got the pattern down, they took me less than five minutes each. You can work them up in one color or several. They are great stash busters! And I really like that they have a “yolk.” 🙂

      Thanks Jenny! 🙂 I love the coin purse idea- very creative! I was thinking about crocheting two together and stuffing it for a 3-D egg.

    This is so cool! Saw it on Facebook. My kids are older, love the Easter egg hunt, but don’t like hard boiled eggs! Going to make a bunch of these for hiding…

    I agree with Connie. I always got for the quick items you post. Have got a box full of ‘5 minute’ crochet things I have made, ‘just for the fun of it’ One day I will think of something to do with them all. Maybe give them to a local primary school for the littles to do things with.

    Neat way to decorate an Easter Egg Tree! My daughters gave me a pre-lite tree for Christmas; small enough for an apartment. I can keep it up all year and decorate it seasonally. Will need to experiment making smaller sizes.

This month's theme is decorating with frames, so I jumped into the blog wayback machine to see what I could dig up that would fit the theme. I found this fall wreath from 2014 when I was in a shabby chic phase. Do you think it passed the test of time? ⁣

There's much more where this came from - you can get the directions on how to make one of these frame wreaths for yourself as well as check out all the fabulous frame ideas from all the LOL ladies on my blog - link in my profile.⁣
