Basic Skills Necessary:

basic embroidery stitches - nothing too fancy

Pattern Description:

You (yes you!) can stitch up a lovely Easter egg just like this one. What do you need? Some felt. Preferably wool felt. It's dreamy to stitch on.

You'll need embroidery thread. Choose four colors you like - or use the ones I specify in the pattern. They're all from my medium and light thread bundles.

You'll need the pattern - of course. Download that here. It's full-sized, so no enlarging or reducing needed.

And finally, you'll need a bit of stuffing. A handful of cotton balls will do the trick.

You've never even held an embroidery needle before and think it looks pretty complicated? Fear not, my friend! This pattern uses only four easy stitches and the pattern links to videos teaching you every one of them: backstitch, running stitch, lazy daisy, and French knot.

You can totally make this!
