I quite amazed myself a few weeks ago when I had the idea to made these fillable crochet Easter eggs. Why hadn’t I thought of this before??

I greatly dislike those cheap plastic eggs that break so easily and never seem to pop together well enough. They are broken by next year so I have to buy a new package each season. Such a waste!

These crochet Easter eggs are the answer! I decided to go with Velcro instead of buttons to eliminate any worry about the eggs being a choking hazard for the littlest egg hunters. The kids actually love the Velcro, so I think it was a good choice.

I wanted to make these pretty crochet eggs with something soft, lush, and washable. Enter Shine! This gorgeous, silky yarn is a blend of cotton and beechwood. It must be the beechwood fiber that makes it so silky soft; I am not sure,  but this yarn is so lush when it’s worked up and it’s very easy on the fingers.

The pattern for these crochet Easter eggs includes 2 sizes, small and large. The small is about the size of plastic eggs, and the larger ones are big enough for larger, more special treats!

    This pattern needs to be removed from sites that call it a “FREE” pattern. It isn’t free if you have to pay for it. 🙄

      I wish I could remove it, those sites are called Site Scrapers and they have stolen my photos without my permission. Very sorry for your poor experience.

    So, this was called a free pattern. Is that no longer true?

    I absolutely agree with you about the plastic eggs. It probably won’t happen this year because it is too late, but I am planning to do some for next year to see the reaction of the children in our church. Thank you.
