How to Crochet Easter Egg Covers

For this project you will need:

medium weight yarn- Red Heart Super Saver or something similar in weight (I used Red Heart Super Saver in white, bright yellow and heather gray)
G crochet hook
embroidery floss- black and orange for the chick, pink and black for the bunny, black for the sheep
yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing together
embroidery needle for stitching faces
for the sheep: a pencil to make loops

Instructions for Basic Easter Egg Cover:

All of the bodies use the same basic pattern, the only difference is the loops on the sheep. The number of stitches is the same, you are just making loops too. The bodies are crocheted in a spiral, you do not need to join after each round.

Round 1: begin with magic ring, 6 sc (6 sc)

Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 sc)

Round 3: [1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (18 sc)

Round 4: 1 sc in each stitch (18 sc)

Round 5: [1 sc in next 5 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (21 sc)

Round 6: [1 sc in next 6 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (24 sc)

Round 7-9: 1 sc in each stitch (24 sc)

Round 10: [1 sc in next 10 stitches, dec across next 2] repeat around (22 sc)

Round 11: 1 sc in next 4 stitches, dec, 1 sc in next 9, dec, 1 sc in next 5 (20 sc)

Round 12: 1 sc in each stitch (20 sc)

Slip stitch to the next stitch to join, finish off and weave in ends

*For the loops on the sheep, rounds 7-11 make a loop every other stitch by wrapping the yarn around the pencil and then working the sc. Wrap the yarn around the pencil and work the sc, sc in next stitch, wrap yarn and work sc, sc in next stitch... Round 12 is worked in regular sc.

Crochet Easter Egg Chick Pattern

Wings (make 2)

ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, ch 1, slip stitch to starting ch (same ch that hdc is worked in), stitch to each side of chick about halfway down

For the tuft of feathers cut 2 pieces of yarn about 4 inches long, fold in half both pieces together, pull folded end through the top of the head to create a loop then pull the other end through that loop to create a knot. You should have 4 little pieces of yarn sticking up, trim them to the size you want. Embroider the face using satin stitch, a triangle for the beak and a few stitches together for the eyes.

For the tail make a pom pom by wrapping the yarn several times around 2 fingers and when it seems full enough slip it off and tie it tightly in the middle. Cut the ends and fluff. Trim until it is the size and shape you want and sew or glue to the back of the bunny, I just attached mine with hot glue. Embroider face.
