Hi folks, Mandy here...
A little while ago I posted about some crochet stitch markers I 'd made. I'd made them to help me speed up with amigurumi style crochet where you crochet in a continuous spiral & must mark the rounds. At the time I'd been working on an egg pattern for Easter. Well, the egg pattern is finished and I've made 3 so far which are decorating my craft room...
The buttons are only pushed in with pretty pins. The eggs turned out quite big at 3" (made with double knitting thickness bamboo cotton yarn) and I think I perhaps needed a bushier twig as they look huge!
Help yourself to a free pdf download of the pattern. There's only one stitch used so it's good for newbies to crochet but you will need to mark the rounds (just tie in a piece of contrasting cotton or make yourself some stitch markers!)

Happy Easter!
Mandy.

So am I, I think I've progressed enough to give these a go, and I love bamboo cotton!

Your crochet eggs are beautiful. I still struggle with crochet, I'll keep trying though.
