Crochet Cupcake Easter Egg
This Crochet Cupcake Easter Egg is the 3rd Easter egg I’ve hooked up. I used my spring picnic party stitch in the round to make it look like there’s little cupcakes (or flower baskets) on the egg. This is a tricky pattern so I’ve put together some photo help and a video tutorial.
I worked up my egg using bernat dipity dots, this yarn makes it look like cupcakes or spring flower baskets depending on which colours you use. If you don’t have any bernat dipity dots you could always use variegated worsted weight yarn with beads or beads can be sewn on after.
This egg can be made as part of my 2016 Easter Egg Crochet along, for more details about the crochet along, please come back to my blog on Good Friday, March 25th, 2016. See you then!
