Left it too late to buy Easter eggs?

This little cutie makes a perfect alternative to chocolate!

Why not try filling up a basket or bowl with a bunch of them, or hiding them around the house for your little ones to find? You can even add squeakers or toy bells for extra fun!

The ButterflyLove pdf Amigurumi Easter Egg knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions and handy hints along the way. You can choose between a rounded or more pointed top for your egg and finish with either a bow tie or fancy ribbon - perfect for making knitted goodies for boys and girls alike!

It only involves knitting flat and this pattern is suitable for a beginner/intermediate knitter.
