Monsters egg cozy crochet pattern
I can't tell you how many hours I have spend searching for a way to dye or decorate our Easter eggs without all the harmful crap you can find in a bag of "non toxic" egg dye. My previous attempts to make cute Easter eggs were made with empty egg shells due to the glue used. This year I finally got a clue to use my love for amigurumi and decided to "dress up" my eggs with cute monsters cozies, or hats.
I came up with this idea as soon as I saw the colors of the cotton yarn I got from FlyingTiger. I mean look at them! They are the perfect colors for Easter and spring!
Since they are quite thin I used a double strain to crochet the monster egg cozies. This is really the perfect amigurumi crochet pattern for beginners! You just need to know how to increase and do the magic circle. No need to stuff, count for the eye placement or embroider anything! I bet you can totally impress your guests and family this Easter with them!
