Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Easter Egg
Looking for a little egg-stra texture this spring? This Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Easter Egg is squishy, satisfying, and full of that signature Wheat Stitch™ texture you love.
This egg is worked top-down in joined and turned rounds, starting at the tip and growing wider with simple single crochet increase rounds. Once you reach the egg’s chonkiest point, even rounds add height while puff rounds pop in to create bold, beautiful texture. Near the bottom, decrease rounds gently taper the shape back in for that classic egg silhouette. Stuff as you go, close it up neatly, and you’re done—cute, cozy, and totally egg-cellent.
These adorable eggs are quick to make and impossible to stop at just one… because one egg is never enough. 🐣💛
