Made with worsted weight yarn and size F crochet hook but you can use whatever yarn you prefer and a hook size recommended for yard chosen.

Crochet Easter Egg

To hinge the two egg halves together, I threaded a large needle with matching yarn and made four (whip stitch) stitches and then went back in the opposite direction to form “x’s”. Knot and work in ends of yarn to complete.
