About this pattern

Six small decorated Easter eggs in two rows of three, all the same size and each painted its own way. Top row: a white egg with pale pink ends and a deep pink heart, a blue egg with eight white dots, and an egg in level stripes of pink, yellow, blue and violet. Bottom row: a violet egg with a white zigzag between two white bands, a green egg with a white four-petal flower with a yellow middle, and a pink and white checked egg. Every egg stands point up inside a dark brown outline and is 16 by 21 stitches, so any one can be stitched alone as an Easter ornament, a card or a gift tag.

56 stitches wide by 46 high: 1,536 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Baby Blue 3755 and 5 more).
