How to crochet EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVER 

This pattern is made for beginners - only a basic skill level is required to make it. If you don't understand any of my instructions, don't worry I am here for you - enter the comments at the end of this post.

This EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVER is SUPER easy and quick to crochet, great project for beginners.

MATERIALS

Any scrappy yarn you like. Ideal is self striping or rainbow yarn.

I used: Brigita: 100% acrylic, 100g / 200m

3 mm crochet hook

Scissors

Sewing/Embroidery and yarn needle/tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends

Markers

Pins

These EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVERS are designed to fit a standard egg size M.
I recommend trying the piece over the egg as you go. It should fit over comfortably without having to stretch or being too loose. If you find it too tight to fit over your egg, go up a hook size. If you find it very baggy around your egg, go down a hook size.

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

The pattern uses the following basic US crochet stitches:

SlSt – slip stitch

CH/s – chain/s

SC - single crochet

SK - skip

T - turn

ST/s - stitch(es)

REP – repeat

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn, sewing parts together with a sewing needle.

Invisible Join – Crochet Technique:

We will be using an invisible join technique to finish off the egg animal bodies. This will give you a neat, seamless, edge around. To do this, cut your yarn after the last stitch, leaving a couple of inches of tail, and pull the end up through the last stitch made. Use your yarn needle to thread the end through under both loops of the second stitch along, and back into the middle of that last stitch. Pull to tighten, creating a faux stitch top over the first stitch. You may notice the real first stitch top poking out a little at the back. Thread the end up through the back loop of the real first stitch, and weave the end into the inside of the body to secure. Trim off any excess.

PATTERN NOTES

1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.

3) Continuous rounds - EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVER both parts are worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) When slip stitching to level off, ensure you keep the stitch the same tension as your other stitches, do not pull this tight as if joining rounds.

6) This EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVER measures: 
EGG is 3 inch long / 8 cm

EGG circumference is 5inch / 13 cm

6) You can make the EASY EASTER EGG WRAP COVER bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.

7) There is just minimal sewing, you will only sew both parts together - this is quick and easy to do, there are no tricks.
