Easter Egg Crochet Pattern |
I have written out this little crochet egg pattern, to go with the Easter Basket I made for the children this year, as part of their easter gifts.
The kids loved running around and finding the eggs hidden around the garden.
These crochet eggs are just the right size for little fingers and are big enough to be easily spotted by the children.
