Crocheting the egg was quite similar to crocheting on a stone and all of it quite easier than I ever thought it would be. So if you’ve ever considered trying it, give it a whirl. It truly is as simple as slip stitches, double and triple crochets. I think they provide a beautiful, natural look for Easter, though you could certainly do them in other colors as well. Ι had a ball making these. I love gaining skill in a new craft. Hope you all give them a try! Here is the pattern for The Helm’s Egg.
Size 10 crochet thread
Size 7 (1.5mm) needle
Hard boiled eggs
Abbreviations:
ch: chainsc: single crochet
sts: stitches
sl st: slip stitch
tc: triple crochet
Please note that there are multiple photos per each round of crochet to show you as much as possible.
Round 1: Make a chain 10 sts long. Join the chain with a sl st to form a circle.
Round 2: Chain 1 sc through the center of the circle 14 times. Join with a sl st.
Round 3: Ch 10, *skip one st and tc in next st, ch 5, repeat from * until beginning, sl st through 4th chain of first ch 10 made.
Round 4: Ch 1, *Sc in next 5 chs. When you get to tc from prior round, sc in that st twice. Repeat from * until beginning, sl st through first sc.
Round 8: Ch 4, *sc in next space, ch 3, repeat from * to end of round. This will start to make a little pocket with your crocheted piece. Before this round is finished, try it on your egg to make sure it will fit. If need be, adjust the prior round to help it fit. About half way through, you should continue crocheting on the egg itself. Some of your stitches will be pulled more apart than others depending on how tight the fit is. Pull the end through the last loop. Weave in the loose ends.
