Those are based on stripy crochet egg covers I made years ago, but are much easier and faster to make.

MATERIALS

• crochet cotton thread (for 2 mm hook)
• thin satin ribbon
• hard boiled eggs or some polystyrene eggs in size of real egg

EQUIPMENT

• 2 mm crochet hook

METHOD

Please note that names of the stitches vary, this is UK pattern, click through for UK to US crochet stitches conversion chart.

stitches used: chain (ch), treble / triple crochet (tr), slip stitch (ss)

FOUNDATION CHAIN

• Start with 5 – 6 ch, close the chain with ss to create a circle.

ROUND 1 (FOUNDATION ROUND)

• Work 3 ch as first tr and then work about 11 tr into the middle of the circle.
• Close the round with ss.

ROUND 2 

• Move to the second round, start with 3 ch as first tr and then work 1 tr into each stitch of the previous round, working extra tr into every third stitch, close with ss.

ROUND 3 +

• Again start with 3 ch as first tr and then work tr into each stitch of the previous row, do not add any more extra stitches.
• Continue like this until the case is long enough to cover the egg, finish with ss.

RIBBON

• Once the case is done thread the ribbon in between the stitches.
• Pull ends together, make a bow and voilà, the egg cover is ready (!)
