Here’s what you’ll need:
- For each egg, several yards of #6/super bulky yarn. For extra squish, I used a chenille style yarn in that weight. Yarn shown in the eggs in the pictures is Honey Bunny by Hobbii in Candy Floss, Lilac, Lemon Curd, and Pink color ways.
- US 10 6.0 mm straight knitting needles
- Poly Fill/Fiber Fill (if you don’t have this on hand, you can use yarn scraps, fabric scraps, or even cotton balls!)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Sizing:
- 2.5 inches wide
- 3.5 inches tall
