Doesn’t it feel like Spring already?! That means Easter is just around the corner. You may recall that last year I came up with a cute little design for crochet Easter eggs. The surprisingly awesome thing is that it has been a really popular pattern (mostly thanks to Pinterest, not anything I’ve done). To accompany the written pattern I thought that it would be useful if I did a video tutorial.
And not just any old video tutorial… my first ever video tutorial! It’s apparent that I need to perfect my video making skills somewhat, but you’ve got to start somewhere! I hope you find it useful.
Video Tutorial
The written crochet pattern is super straightforward and quick to do. The How To video is probably best viewed as a companion to the written instructions. In the video I also demonstrate how to embroider the stitches, which the written pattern does not do. If you want to jump straight there, the time stamp for the decorative bit is 18.25.
Had I been more YouTube savvy I could have made two different videos. One for crocheting the Easter egg and one to demonstrate the embroidery. But I didn’t think about that until afterward!
If you fancy having a look (afterall, Easter is coming up pretty soon) then please click on this picture to take you to YouTube! Or go HERE. And then let me know if you’ve made some!! I would absolutely love to see. Cheers! X
How to crochet an amigurumi Easter Egg video
Hooray for this! I am not quite ready to start Easter crochet projects, but when I am ready these cute little eggs will be the first things I make!
No, I checked, it’s still a way off!! I thought I’d better get the video out there though. traffic on the pattern post has increased and it made me panic into “sooner rather than later” mode. 😀
Phew! It seems February got away from me and I was worried that March had also!
Ooh, these look gorgeous! I’m tempted to make an easter tree to hang them on. 😊
That would look fab!!
These are so cute! Theyd be very cute in my easter baskets I made for my kiddos 🙂
Thank you! They would, with different kinds of decorations on them too maybe?
Thanks! I will definitely give this a try, that are so cute!
Oh god where is the time going ! These are v cute iii check out your you tube for it.
I’m try to do some embroidery on crochet it it’s a bit of a pain , any tips ?
Don’t worry, there’s still a few weeks!! I’ve been getting an increase in traffic for the pattern so thought it was a good time to do the tutorial.
You’re more of an embroidery expert than me (I kind of just hope for the best when making the stitches). But it does seem easier to do on tight crochet!
Being a fan of decorated eggs, I love these!
Thank you very much!
Oh cool! These are great, and the embroidery really makes them special!
Thank you, glad you like them. Thinking about other bits of embroidery I could do… xxx
Aww these are so cute. Very pretty. Think I’m going to make some. Hopefully I can get my current WIP done before easter. I don’t like starting new projects until I have either finished or got bored of doing the current one.
Thank you! Oh, I have so many WIPs, I flit from one to the other!
Thank you! I managed to make one of these, though I’ve never done much embroidery. I don’t see a way to attach an image…. ?? It is cute, if not completely perfect….
Awesome! Thank you! I don’t know of you can add an image here but you can over on Ravelry! 😀
Hello
Just found your Easter egg and ❤ it.
The problem is that I am Dutch and I need to know if you are English or Americain, so I can find out how the pattern must be read.
Like what do you mean with sc and inc (I think increase)?
Greetings from Holland

Hi, thank you so much.
sc means single crochet, it’s a US term, and yes, inc is increase.
