Easter egg

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
A small motif like the easter egg suits size 10 or 20 cotton thread and a steel hook, giving the delicate, heirloom look filet is known for. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
The easter egg is a natural fit for a handmade gift: try it on a tree-skirt panel, or a seasonal throw. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The easter egg is an easy win when you are making something for the whole family or marking Christmas. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.3 by 5.3 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
