Follow my free easter eggs crochet pattern and learn how to crochet a perfectly shaped egg! It’s a beautiful crochet Easter décor idea!
I found a bunch of cotton crochet yarns in my home stash and wanted to crochet Easter décor. So, I designed an egg crochet pattern to use the cotton yarn for.
My easter eggs crochet pattern shows how to crochet an egg from top to bottom and from bottom to top. I think it doesn’t make a difference how the egg looks like but crochet an egg from top to bottom it’s easier. But, it’s just my opinion.
In the picture below it shows the purple egg is crochet from top to bottom and the orange from bottom to top. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won’t cost you a penny more)!
