Easter Eggs Creating the Base

The egg base forms the foundation of your spring decoration. We’ll create the base first, then add the beautiful flower embellishments.

Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12)
Round 3: [Single crochet, increase] repeat 6 times (18)
Round 4: [2 single crochet, increase] repeat 6 times (24)
