Easter Eggs







I wanted to make something to give to my boyfriend's great nieces and nephews on Easter Sunday. I found some egg patterns on the internet, but had to alter them so that they would fit over those plastic eggs you can get on the cheap (I paid $1 for a bag of six) - although I wish I had gotten some better quality eggs that close better. I discovered this after gluing the crocheted egg onto the plastic egg, and then it wouldn't close! So I had to unglue it and glue it back on so it wasn't so close to the edge of the egg. Even then, it didn't close very tightly. Oh well, live and learn. Here are some pictures. I used "I Love This Yarn" by Hobby Lobby (my favorite). If anyone reading this wants the pattern, just let me know and I will post it. But you can probably find free ones on the internet and slightly alter them to fit your eggs.
