This last minute crochet Easter egg cover is made with the granny stitch using a large hook for a quick and satisfying result. The crochet covers are easy to put on and off, they’re reusable, pack flat for storage and are no dye. I really wasn’t up for dying Easter eggs this year!..

This one pattern fits all. I mean, I used it for everything I could find at home, small, medium and large brown eggs from the mixed weight and sizes egg box from my fridge and some children’s polystyrene eggs.

There’s only 2 rounds and 4 short rows. There’s no color changing after each row, only one yarn end to weave in and no single crochet stitches to slow you down.

We’re going to create an opening or a slit a the back of the Easter egg cover to fit the eggs through. Later you’ll simply turn your eggs over so that they sit on the slit to hide it away. At the same time, the slits/ openings stabilise your eggs for your Easter displays and prevent them from rolling off.

You only need to know how to make a slip knot, a chain, a single crochet (just one) and a double crochet for this tutorial, so it’s perfect for a beginner looking for an easy Easter project.
