These Easter eggs are quick and fun to make.

Add them to your springtime home decor or hide them for an Easter egg hunt!

The pattern includes a plain egg, two striped eggs designs and two versions with stranded color work flowers. – something for everyone to enjoy creating!

The eggs are all knitted in one piece with a single back seam.
KFB (knit front and back) and K2tog (knit two together) are used for shaping throughout.
I give the yarn shades for two versions a traditional Easter theme of pastel shades and a muted brown tonal version.

This pattern is suitable for beginners.
