To make a bigger egg, use the same pattern but a thicker yarn with the matching hook.
Version 1(V1) of this design uses slate & yellow, and version 2(V2) of this design uses lime and light pink.

Easter Egg Pattern

Start with slate (v1) / lime (v2) and a 3.5mm crochet hook and make a magic ring.

Round 1: 6sc into the magic ring, pull the tail to close the magic ring shut = 6
Round 2: inc x 6 = 12
Round 3: inc, sc x 6 = 18
Round 4: inc, sc in next 2sts x 6 = 24
Round 5: inc, sc in next 3sts x 6 = 30

Change colour to citrine (v1) / light pink (v2)

Rounds 6 & 7: sc in each stitch = 30

Change colour to slate (v1) / lime (v2)

Rounds 8 & 9: sc in each stitch = 30

Change colour to citrine (v1) / light pink (v2)

Round 10: sc in each stitch = 30

Change colour to slate (v1) / lime (v2)

Rounds 11 & 12: sc in each stitch = 30

Change colour to citrine (v1) / light pink (v2)

Round 13: *dec, sc in next 8sts* x 3 = 27
Round 14: *dec, sc in next 7sts* x 3 = 24

Change colour to slate (v1) / lime (v2)

Round 15: dec, sc in next 6sts x 3 = 21

Start stuffing the egg with toy stuffing. Continue to stuff as you work up the rounds.

Round 16: *dec, sc in next 5sts* x 3 = 18
Round 17: *dec, sc in next 4sts* x 3 = 15
Round 18: *dec, sc in next 3sts* x 3, fasten off and leave a long tail= 12

Finish stuffing the egg firmly with toy stuffing, then use the tail to close off the hole.

Now you have the option to create a loop so you can hang your egg, or to simply weave in the ends. If you chose to add a loop, then use your finger to hold down the tail and form a loop right before you use the tapestry needle to weave it in.
