✏️ Things To Note:
- Yarn Choices: I used Red Heart yarns, but you can use whatever worsted weight yarn you have on hand. Otherwise, the sizing may be off.
- Gauge: There is no gauge for this pattern, but it's a good idea to have at least one creme or truffle egg nearby while you work. This way, you can ensure the egg cover isn’t too tight or too loose. If the egg is too tight, go up a hook size; if it’s too loose, go down a hook size.
- Finished Size: The finished egg cover measures slightly less than 3 inches without ears included.
