Crochet Unicorn and Rainbow Easter Egg Covers

Both the rainbow and unicorn eggs use the same basic egg pattern, it is the same pattern that I used for the bunny, chick, and lamb. The only difference is that in order to have the stripes line up I chose to join each round where the others are all worked in a spiral. I change my color in the last stitch of the round before the color change, when working the last sc of the round instead of pulling through a loop of the same color, pull through a loop of the new color.
