These would make a lovely alternative easter gift, they fit nicely into a standard sized egg box so you could make a set of 6 in all different colours as a present, or you could make a few of these and fill the gaps with chocolate eggs (mmmmmmmm)

Instructions include basic egg pattern and instructions for how to create all the eggs you see on the pictures. There are a few extra ideas you may like to try out and once you have the hang of it its pretty easy to make it up as you go along.

For the bee a small amount of crochet chain stitch is used and details are embroidered on using chain stitch (the sewing variety this time) although you could do it with running stitch if you really dont like the idea. Intarsia is used to create the pictures on the eggs (if you are new to intarsia DONT PANIC! Its very easy, you just have 2 balls of yarn attached at the same time and you swap them over). If you dont want anything complicated you can just use one colour or swap yarns to create stripes. The easiest pattern is to knit using self patterning yarn.

Pattern costs 2.50 GBP which is roughly $5 USD (exchange rate will affect this a bit), payment by paypal which converts currency for you
