FREE Crochet Gradient Egg Pattern – Easter Decorations
Table of Contents
With Easter almost here, I wanted to share another egg pattern I made with some leftover Loops and Threads yarn I had from making Christmas ornaments with. This crochet gradient egg is a fun pattern because you can make one side with one colour and the other side with another. Then finishing it off with a nice contrasting colour for the colour.
You can add it to your décor collection and also make my Easter eggs and tulip basket patterns for your Easter celebrations!
