Is The Easter Egg Square Suitable For Beginners?
If you’re an intermediate crocheter looking for a new challenge, this pattern offers a fun and rewarding project for you. The square is worked with a combination of post stitches, picots, decreases, and clusters to create a beautiful lacy piece with floral and egg motifs.
What Yarn Is Used For This Square Pattern?
The Easter Egg Squares are crocheted using cotton thread and a 1.75 mm hook. A great choice is Aunt Lydia’s Classic Crochet Size 10 thread, perfect for creating intricate lace projects. For the best visual effect, be sure to use at least two contrasting colors. You will need 60-70 yards in the main shade to work the square’s body and 15-25 yards of yarn for the edging.
What Are The Finished Measurements Of The Square?
The finished piece measures about 6 1/2 inches and is worked in 20 rounds. You can use them to construct beautiful lace throws, pillow covers, and wall decorations. They will also work great as a spring table setting, for example, as doilies or coasters.
By using thicker yarn and a larger hook, the square dimensions will obviously increase, so if you want, you can experiment with their size too.
