Introduction to Crocheting Textured Easter Egg
In this post, we will first be starting off with the relevant supplies and techniques you would need to crochet this small egg. Here to make this egg, we only be using 2 yarn colours. Then we will head into the pattern proper.
This is a slightly more intermediate pattern, because of the inclusion of the star stitch in this pattern for the textured part. For the most part, you will learn how to crochet a egg shape with mostly increases and decreases in single crochet.
Stick around after that to check out the full video of how to crochet this textured egg especially for the part about the star stitch and finally we will end off with the full pattern PDF download if that is the mode of reading that suits you best.
