SUZIE’S EASTER EGG COVER (C)
I'm having a great time crocheting these Easter Egg Covers out of some of my little balls and partial skeins. I've included instructions for both worsted weight and light weight yarns.
WORSTED WEIGHT (4)Small amount (2/10 ounce) of worsted weight yarn
Size H (5.0mm) crochet hook
Plastic Easter egg
SIZE:
Fits plastic eggs that are about 2 ½ inches tall and 5 ½ inches in circumference
NOTES:
1. Read pattern all the way through before beginning.
2. Pull your slipstitches tight, you want them to almost disappear.
3. The eggs I used are from Wal-Mart $2 for 42 eggs. To fit slightly larger eggs use the pattern for light weight yarn (below), or try using a size I (5.5mm) hook.
Round 1: Ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (Remember to pull that slipstitch tight.) (5 sts)
Round 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in same st as join. *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * once. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (8 sts)
Round 3: Ch 1, 2 sc in same st as join. *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * twice. Sc in last st. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (12 sts)
Round 4: Ch 1, sc in same st as join. Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, *sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st. Repeat from * once. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (15 sts)
Round 5: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in same st as join. *Skip 2 sts, 3 dc in next st. Repeat from * 3 times. Join with a slipstitch in top of ch 2. (5 shells)
Round 6: Slipstitch in next dc, ch 2, 2 dc in same st as slipstitch. *Skip 2 sts, 3 dc in next st. Repeat from * 3 times. Join with a slipstitch in top of ch 2. (5 shells)

Round 8: Ch 1, sc in same st as join. *Sc in next 5 sts, sc dec over next two sts, sc in 5 sts, sc dec over last 2 sts. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (13 sts)
Fasten off, weave in ends.
