This stunning egg has a space inside to keep some yummy chocolate. This pattern clearly details every stitch you will need to complete this egg with lots of photographs. I also have videos on my Instagram account explaining each stitch and technique @makemeroardesign.

Stitches you will learn include: Bobble Stitch, Spike Stitch, Surface Crochet. You will also learn some simple embroidery and working in the round. Although this pattern looks complicated it’s actually fairly simple once you get a hang of the stitches. Please look at the photo showing the pattern layout to give you an idea of how the pattern looks.

The pattern is available in both UK and US terms.
