[...] never thought it would be so hard to come up with a pattern for an egg. I have to admit that this crochet egg pattern is one of the hardest, if not the hardest pattern I have created thus far. Not to scare anyone, the [...]
THANK YOU RACHEL!!!!!!!!!! You’re the greatest!!! I am going to try this out as soon as I am done typing this!!!!!!!!! I am stoked now. Thanks again!!!!!
On round 2 when it says to do 2 sc in one stitch and sc in the next, do you do that all the way around like that?
Disregard that comment. LOL Figured it out.
You’re welcome Harold!
I’m glad you got it! But for anyone else wondering the same thing, the answer is yes, you repeat the stuff that is in the parentheses all the way around. Don’t forget to put the marker in the right place, it helps you keep track of where to stop and start the next round
Me again Rachel,
I have done the egg and to me it don’t like right. Is there some way I can send you a photo of it and let you look at it and see what you think? I will tell you this that I used a heavier yarn so the egg is bigger, but something just dont like right to me.
Harold
Your egg doesn’t look bad at all! The only difference I see comparing my egg to yours is that mines is slightly skinnier and more pointy on top. Hmm..maybe it is because of the heavier yarn, not exactly sure. Or perhaps it’s the way it’s stuffed? Did you get the exact stitch counts that were in the pattern? How does this egg compare to your M&M egg guys?
Overall I think you did a great job!
Rachel,

Hi Rachel!! With Easter a few days away, I JUST realized I should crochet a few eggs for my toddler girls’ baskets….to be used later in their play kitchen. (3year old twins..I’m busy…but..I crochet….DAILY!!!) I tried 6 patterns that day….and last night I found your site. I was so excited, I stayed up LATE (til….3am…sshhh) and crocheted 12 eggs….all different colors….but like you said, none of the other patterns worked out right. YOUR PATTERN IS PERFECT!!!! I logged on now to print out all of the other patterns you have. Your pattern was quick, easy to understand, and I also used some scrap yarn up to make these eggs. My girls will be so excited to see what the Easter Bunny left. I have joined ‘Crochet Spot’ and I am so excited to see what you have to share going forward. I love the patterns I have seen so far. Keep up the great work!!!
Hi Kim! I’m so glad that the eggs worked great for you! And don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you stayed up till 3am
I hope your girls enjoy their Easter eggs. Also thanks for subscribing to Crochet Spot!
