Pastel Eggs To Crochet Diy Project

"These pastel eggs to crochet are a great beginner crochet pattern. I made pastel eggs using the chain stitch with pastel colored yarn. It might be hard to believe, but I made these eggs probably ten years ago. They still look like I just made them today. I get them out at Easter and use them as a decoration in a pretty bowl or in a cute Easter basket. Since you are crocheting yarn around plastic eggs, they tend to be very durable and when they are played with and ultimately dropped, they don’t break. At least none of ours has yet. The yarn I used in making these pastel eggs is a multicolored pastel Red Heart yarn. This is a combination crochet and craft project. Great for a person just beginning to learn how to complete the chain stitch."
