I made up this pattern and offer it free on my blog at:

It is knit in the round, from the bottom up and stuffed with fibre fill.

You can add different colours or stipes etc. wherever you choose.

If you want to weave in the ends, turn the egg inside out (keeping the egg on the needles) just before you want to stuff the egg. Weave in ends. Turn egg right side out again and continue with the stuffing and knitting to finish it.
