Knitted Easter Eggs

Description

Knit these fun Fair Isle Easter eggs for a cute holiday decoration.  They are knitted in the round on 4″ double pointed needles and use standard sized plastic eggs for shaping.  The pattern comes with lots of design options, but they’re cute just done in solid colors too.  A solid color eggs uses less than 20yds of fingering weight yarn, and is a great way to use up bits of leftover sock yarn, especially those self-striping yarns.

Yarn:  Fingering weight – 20yds/egg
Needles:  4″ size 1 dpns
Tapestry needle
Plastic egg (Glue egg halves together with Super Glue or E6000 before inserting in knitting)

Written pattern with charts for Fair Isle patterns.
