Cut the yarn leaving a length that’s long enough to use for the seam, thread the end through the stitches and pull up to gather the stitches together.



TO MAKE UP

This was the easiest way I found it to sew up:

Wrap the egg around the stuffing then sew up the seam - matching the shaping - working mattress seam - you can add a little more stuffing as you near the end of the seaming if it needs it.

Mould the completed egg with your hands to create that perfect egg shape.

Decorate your eggs at will - I simply embroidered on a few straight stitches radiating around some French knots and or some lazy daisy-ish flowers @dotpebbles_knits 'my stories'

- but really anything goes... they look lovely plain too!
