Description
Meet the Speckled Nest Eggs Set — a charming collection of three amigurumi eggs stitched with love and designed to bring a little handmade magic to your spring décor.
This is my very first amigurumi pattern and I designed every stitch of it to be completely beginner friendly. Three egg variations in one PDF — and extra amigurumi tips included inside for first timers. We are learning this together!
This pattern is Week 3 of the Stitch the Season: Spring Awakening CAL — launching Sunday May 3, 2026. Learn more about the CAL and visit the hub page for the full collection.
What is included — three egg variations:
- The Plain Egg — clean, classic, and beautiful in any colorway. Make a set of all plains in coordinating pastels for a simple, elegant look.
- The Speckled Egg — worked in the plain egg construction with French knot embroidery added after completion for a natural speckled effect. A beautiful robin’s egg look in blue or any color you love.
- The Striped Seed Stitch Egg — alternating color stripes worked in seed stitch create a beautifully textured, modern spring egg. Two colors, endless combinations.
