Tips on Colors, Yarns & Where to Use Your Crochet Easter Eggs

When it comes to Easter, think in pastels and pops of spring-inspired color! Soft pinks, baby blues, lemon yellow, mint green, and lavender are all beautiful choices for traditional Easter eggs. You can also experiment with stripes, polka dots, or even embroidery details to make each egg unique. Self-striping or speckled yarns also add a whimsical twist with minimal effort.

Use lightweight cotton or acrylic yarns for best results. Cotton provides a clean, crisp finish, especially great for defined shapes, while acrylic gives a softer, fluffier look. You can stuff the eggs with fiberfill to give them a perfect rounded shape, or even add a small rattle insert to make them baby-friendly toys!

Crocheted Easter eggs are super versatile. Display them in baskets or bowls as table centerpieces, hang them on an Easter tree, or scatter them around the house for a crochet egg hunt!

They also make sweet gifts for kids, or thoughtful add-ons to springtime care packages. However you use them, they’re guaranteed to bring a handmade sparkle to your Easter celebration.
