These crochet eggs are just the right size for little fingers and are big enough to be easily spotted by the children.
They make a great alternative to chocolate eggs lying around in the garden with the heat!

How to Crochet an invisible Decreace
- Insert your hook into the front loop only of the next stitch.
- Without yarning over, insert your hook into the front loop only of the following stitch (you now have 3 loops on your hook: two front loops and the working loop).
- Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook (the front loops of both stitches).
- Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook.
