I personally really like strawberries, so I think it would be cute to use strawberries as an element for easter eggs. This pattern is slightly more difficult than the normal easter egg pattern. If you are a beginner and want to start with something simple but equally fun. Please go check out my Small Easter Egg Crochet Pattern and Striped Easter Egg Crochet Pattern. So let’s get started~

Project Level:

Easy – Medium

Yarn – Size 2 sport
3 mm (US C/2) crochet hook
Stitch marker (optional)
Tapestry needle
Scissor
Fiberfill stuffing

I have used the Lamia Cotton Mini Yarn. On Amazon, it is listed as light worsted DK weight yarn, but in reality, it is more like sport weight yarn. When working with it, the yarn splits. I wouldn’t recommend it if you cannot stand strands getting separated easily. I am using these yarns only because they have a really pretty pastel color.
