Easter Egg Pattern

Note: This pattern has only been tested by me. I'm not a pattern designer. I've made these easter eggs with scraps of DK yarn [or fingering yarn held together] and a plastic egg that measures 6cm tall. You could also fill the eggs with polyfill stuffing.

Cast on 9 stitches using a pinhole cast on. Divide stitches onto 3 dpns.
