Inspiration
Easter is just around the corner, and you know what that means – time to spruce up your home with some new festive decor. But before you rush to the store and spend a fortune on pre-made decorations, consider adding a personal touch to your Easter display with some handmade items like these Jumbo Easter Eggs. And don’t worry about breaking the bank – you can create beautiful Easter eggs using yarn you already have at home.
It’s a versatile pattern that can be adapted to any type of yarn. I’ve made the eggs using different brands and different weights of yarn to see what works up the best. For me, I like Yarnspirations Caron One Pound and Loops & Threads Charisma when making this pattern. I hope you’ll take this pattern and make it your own!
Get ready to add a charming and unique touch to your Easter collection with this fun and easy DIY project.

What you will need for the Jumbo Easter Egg crochet pattern
- Yarn of choice. Approximately 60-120 yards but varies based on yarn weight used; I have used Worsted #4, Bulky #5 & Super Bulky #6 yarns

- Ribbon or Rope/Jute
- Poly-fil
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
Pattern Notes
* Beginner pattern.
** Written in US crochet terms.
* Finished size = Varies depending on yarn weight used.
** Gauge: Not essential for this pattern.
* Ch at the beginning of Rnd does not count as a st, always place 1st st of each Rnd in same st as beginning chain unless stated otherwise.
** I have tried different types of yarn and found that medium #4 and bulky #5 yarn worked the best, but I encourage you to experiment with different materials to get different sizes and textures.
* Egg is worked in the Rnd from the bottom up.
** Be careful not to overstuff the egg, otherwise it will not sit flat.

Finish off leaving a 12″ tail. Weave the tail in and out of the stitches on Rnd 18, then cinch closed and secure.
Adding Ribbon or Jute
Wrap ribbon/jute around Rnd 12 (the dc Rnd) of the egg to measure how much you will need. Be sure to leave plenty of length for the tails on the bow before cutting.
Weave the ribbon/jute through the dc stitches on Rnd 12. Locate the seam where the Rnds meet and turn away from you.
With the front of egg facing you, thread a large yarn needle with ribbon/jute, insert the needle between two sts. Choose two sts that are slightly to the left of center and weave in and out going under and over every 3 stitches.
Once back around to the front tie a beautiful bow.
