Materials for your free crochet Easter Egg bunting pattern:

Oddments of 4-ply cotton yarn (approximately 10g per motif which leaves enough for embroidering contrast spots on a different motif)

2.5mm hook
Wool needle

I used Scheepjes Catona Cotton minis, 100% cotton/10g/25m, in the following shades: Moonrock (254); Bluebell (173); Old Rose (408); Lime Juice (392); Old Lace (130); Lemon (280)

Size of each free Easter Egg bunting pattern motif:

Each motif measures approximately 10cm long x 8cm at widest point.

Tension:

Is not critical for this project.

Note: You can make your motifs in a single colour, or use a contrast colour for the border. You could use any weight of yarn to make these larger or smaller but use a slightly smaller hook than recommended on the ball band for a tighter stitch.

How to crochet your free Easter Egg bunting motif (make as many as desired)

Using chosen colour, ch7.

Row 1 (RS): 2sc (UK dc) in second ch from hook, 1sc (UK dc) in each of next 4 ch, 2sc (UK dc) in last ch, turn. [8 sts]

Row 2: Ch1 (does not count as a st here and throughout), 2sc (UK dc) in first st, 1sc (UK dc) in each st to last st, 2sc (UK dc) in last st, turn. [10 sts]

Rows 3-6: Rep row 2 a further 4 times. [18 sts]

Rows 7-14: Ch1, 1sc (UK dc) in each st to end, turn.

Row 15: Ch1, sc2tog (UK dc2tog) over first 2 sts, 1sc (UK dc) in each st to last 2 sts, sc2tog (UK dc2tog) over last 2 sts, turn. [16 sts]

Row 16: Ch1, 1sc (UK dc) in every st to end, turn.

Rows 17-24: Rep last 2 rows a further 4 times. [8 sts]

Turn work but do not ch1 at beginning of next row.

Row 25: 1ss in first dc, 1sc (UK dc) in next st, 1hdc (UK htr) in each of next 4 sts, 1sc (UK dc) in next st, 1ss in last st.

Keeping RS of motif facing you, ch1 (does not count as a st), now work a sc (UK dc) border all around motif, working 1sc (UK dc) into each row-end along the sides and 1sc (UK dc) into each stitch along top and bottom, ss into first sc (UK dc) to join. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

To finish your Easter Egg motif:

Using a contrast colour, work small French knots over the RS of motif (or you can use beads or small circles of felt if preferred. Weave in all ends on WS. If your motif is curling at the ends, spray with water or spray starch on both sides. Pin out flat and leave to dry completely (the spray starch will also help to stiffen your motif).

Joining your Easter Egg motifs:

Using any colour make 25ch, take first motif with RS facing and work 3 or 4 sc (UK dc) into the central stitches across the top of motif, * 20ch, take next motif and work 3 or 4 sc (UK dc) into the central stitches across the top of motif; rep from * until all motifs are joined, then work a further 26ch, turn.

Work back along the chains and stitches just made, 1sc (UK dc) in second ch from hook, 1sc (UK dc) in each ch or st to end. Fasten off.

With RS facing, take a contrast colour and join with ss in the first st of joining strip. Work 1ss in each st to end. Fasten off and weave in ends.
