Easy Easter Eggs FREE Crochet Pattern

Spring has sprung and it comes with a delightful anticipation of Easter! For many years, I kept telling myself that I should create something new for Easter, and then Easter would come and go so quickly before I could start on a project.

A few years ago, I crocheted these Carrot Easter Egg cozies. This year, I took up a crochet Easter decor challenge with Hobbii Yarn and decided to crochet these colorful pastel Easter eggs.

These eggs are perfect for both seasoned crocheters and enthusiastic beginners. All you need to know is one type of stitch and how to increase and decrease. You can make these Easter eggs in solid colors, or add color changes like I did to create visual interest.

These crocheted easter eggs are worked in the round, without joining at the end of the round. I used a running stitch marker to keep track of which round I was on.

So grab your crochet hook and favorite yarn colors, and let's get started on creating a basketful of charming Easter eggs for your egg hunt this year!
