Crochet Spiral Easter Eggs

I love working in spirals and learned how to start a crochet spiral a while ago.

I’ve made quite a few different styles of spiral hats and now I’ve figured out how to make the spiral into an egg shape for Easter.

This crochet spiral egg makes a cute kid-friendly Easter decoration. The kids can also play catch with them too.

Another idea I had was to fill a small plastic egg with dry rice, beans or lentils, embed inside the crochet egg so the egg will rattle.

The eggs can be made in a variety of colors for a cute and colorful decoration.

Take your first colour of yarn and make a magic ring. 2 sc in ring. Using 2nd colour, join to the left of the first and make 2 sc in the ring. Push it up next to the first colour. Take the 3rd colour and join to the left of the 2nd colour, make 2 sc in the ring. Push it along. Take the 4th colour, join and make 2 sc in the ring. Gently pull the tail of the first colour to close the magic ring.

Rnd 2: Start with white and make 2 sc in each of the next 2 stitches. Pick up the 2nd colour and make 2 sc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat with the 3rd and 4th colours. You should now have 4 stitches of each colour (total 16 sc)

Rnds 3-5: 1 sc in each stitch (that’s 4 sc in each colour to maintain a total of 16 sc)

Rnd 6:  [2 sc in the next sc, 1 sc in the next sc] twice for each colour (total 24 sc)

Add a little more stuffing to your egg if you need to.
