Crocheted Easter Egg - Amigurumi Style

I have many friends that celebrate Easter holiday. Every year I am invited to a house full of adults and kids, and all of us celebrate this holiday the Czech way. There is always a lot of food, a lot of games, and an egg decorating contest. All of us participate in this fun activity - and of course, we let the kids win.
Over the years I decorated eggs with crochet designs. But I never made a "stuffed crocheted egg amigurumi." I was going to design my own "Easter Egg," but my schedule is overloaded, and it would take me a long time. I needed to save time for my videotaping, editing, and uploading. I decided to google a pattern for a crocheted egg. I came across Kristi's website where she allowed people to use her "egg" pattern for their projects, including any free class or e-course or as part of a free pattern. She allows anyone to sell finished items made with her pattern as well, provided we all give her credit.
I contacted Kristi and told her about my video of "her egg." She was very gracious. You know, sometimes it takes a long time to finish just one project. I know, I have been in those shoes many times. So, I was delighted I could use "her egg pattern," because she saved me a lot of time. And so, YES, I will gladly give her credit and would like YOU to visit her WEBSITE (see a couple of links to her different stores in FAQ page) or her ETSY STORE - perhaps you will find there a toy pattern you would like to make.

I found her "egg" pattern clear and easy to follow - you can click HERE to see for yourself. And lastly, see links below if you are interested in crocheting along my very detailed video (sometimes it is too detailed, but I can't help myself - there is always a beginner crocheter on my mind.)

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
