Introduction: Crochet Easter Egg Cover

About: A Software Engineer. I love learning new things. Hooked up with Instructables. It is the biggest find I ever made. :D Cooking and Crochet are my passion. I love to learn different techniques and cuisines.

Turn an ordinary egg (plastic, wooden or natural) into a pretty keepsake. This cover is sized for an average size plastic or natural chicken egg, and is removable.

This is a very fast and easy project that takes only minutes to create.

Crochet a dozen of these perfect little egg covers and give them out to family and friends for Easter.

Try making these in different colors and stacking some together in a basket.

These lovely looking eggs will make a perfect Easter gift.
