Frequently asked questions
What size egg does this fit?
The pattern is sized for a medium egg. If your eggs run larger or smaller, you can add or remove a round in the body section, which the notes say to adjust as needed.
How are the leaves attached?
The leaves are worked separately by chaining and crocheting back along the chain (Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 alternate), then arranged and joined at the top of the pineapple body.
How does the egg stay in place?
A mint-green drawstring is chained to the length you want and woven through the last round, so you can cinch the open ch-5 mesh top around the egg.
