    Tapestry Egg
    With this tapestry egg we use 1 yarn to crochet
    over, so not more than 2 colours will be used in
    these rows. In the pattern is indicated which
    yarn to use to crochet with and which one to
    crochet over.
    Do not try to pull your yarn too tight because
    then your egg will become too small.
