Beautiful knitted Easter eggs

These eggs are inspired by the Christmas bulbs of Arne and Carlos.. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/julekuler

I made a few adjustments, and got them egg shaped..

The green egg is made with the increases that are on the pattern.. But if you want a seamless egg, you need to randomly increase and decrease the stitches around the egg 😏

This is what you need: Some scrap yarn that fits knitting pins 2,5 mm or 3mm.  5 Knitting pins size 2 mm.. Yes, to make it tighter.. LOL. Stuffing to fill the egg. I save my cut off ends of yarn from everything I make, and use those to fill it.. You may also use cotton or other stuffing..  A needle to sew the ends, and a marker to help you follow the pattern. Also cute ribbons to hang them ..

Step 1: Cast on 3 stitches to each of your 4 knitting pins.. Then follow this pattern to increase and decrease your number of stitches :

 The green/blue egg is made of a semi coloured cotton yarn and will get it's pattern from the yarn itself.. It will be useful to use a marker to see where your round begins, to help you count 😊

Step 2: When you start decreasing the stitches, turn the egg inside out, and sew the bottom of it tightly..
Step 3: When you have apxm 32 stitches, fill your egg with some stuffing. ( See above)
Then continue to the end, and cast off.
Step 4: Sew the top.
Step 5: Find a nice ribbon that fits your colours, and use the needle to pull it through the top of the egg. Make a nice bow, and a loop for hanging it..

The green egg is made of thin wool yarn, following this pattern, with a very pale pink as decoration:

 

Remember to secure the loose ends on the inside of the egg before you stuff it.

This is the pattern for the white and pink egg.. I made this with alpaca yarn. So as you can see, basically any thin yarn will make a pretty egg. Look through your leftovers, and choose some nice colours. Follow instructions as for the green one 😊
Hopefully you will have time to make some of these eggs before Easter. Good Luck!
