Pattern Inspiration & Design Notes
Whether you are decorating your home for the autumn season or crafting gifts for friends, this pattern was designed from the ground up for relaxation and clean, crisp stitch definition.
One of the most common frustrations in crochet is vague sizing or running out of yarn right at the final row. That is why every stitch in this tutorial has been physically crocheted, swatch-tested, and audited with our designated 3.0 mm (US C/2 or D/3) hook.

0 / 6 ReadyGauge & Tension Calibration
Standard Swatch: 22 sts x 24 rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) using Single Crochet in Continuous Spiral with your designated 3.0 mm (US C/2 or D/3) hook.
Important Pattern Notes
- Continuous Spiral: Do NOT join rounds with a slip stitch or chain 1. Work in a continuous spiral using a stitch marker to track the first stitch.
- Asymmetrical Egg Silhouette: An authentic egg is NOT a sphere! It begins with a broad spherical base, maintains a cylindrical waist, and tapers gradually to a pointed tip.
- Invisible Decrease (invdec): Always use the invisible decrease (insert hook in front loops only of 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through, finish sc) for a smooth surface.
- Stuffing Technique: Stuff the egg progressively as you work. Pack the wide bottom firmly first, then shape the sides as you taper.
- Stripes & Embroidery: Change colors every 2 rounds for striped eggs, or embroider French knots and daisies after completion.

Yes! Place a plastic rattle ball or jingle bell directly in the center of the polyfill stuffing at Round 10. Surround it completely with fiberfill so it cannot be felt through the stitches.
