Fun, quick, and easy little Easter Egg Bags. A great way to hang eggs, carry eggs, and fill eggs with treats, and goodies of all kinds (Jelly Beans are our favorite 😊).🐣 These cute Beggs are fun to make and decorate.
The always useful, quick and easy Holiday Dishcloth makes a nice gift.
This year we are skipping the plastic Easter eggs, and paper confetti, and making these super quick, and easy crochet eggs! We are filling them with 'Yarn Confetti', or jelly beans, to hide and gift to friends and family.
These cute and fun crochet Easter EGG BAGS work up so quick, that you can make them and fill an Easter basket in no time. Make eggs to hang, display, or hide these joyful little eggs filled with treats, like jelly beans or tiny toys like marbles, and make delightful little Easter treats.
Pick your favorite colors, work up some quick egg bases, then have fun decorating your many eggs. Make with or without lines and dots, or add fun bunny and chick faces.
Skip the sweat treats and be like Pooh, stuffed with fluff! We use 'yarn confetti' 🎉 for stuffing.
While I have been using yarn for stuffing for many years, I never thought to give it a name. The adorable name Yarn Confetti comes from this crafty YouTuber Nicole, of Off the Hook Crochet aka Yarn glitter.
Egg bags are affectionately dubbed 'Easter Beggs'

Here at Doily Designs, we have not seen this used anywhere else, and having used it quite a bit on edges lately, I have decided to give this stitch combo a name, and call it the Riffle Edge.
Riffle Edge seen below on the Easter Lotus Mandala 🐰 🐣
Riffle edge looks best with contrasting colors.
This stitch combo is so simple, and gives an interesting look and texture to an otherwise simple, plain edge. Americana Coaster Pattern seen below.
The Riffle Edge stitch combo works nicely on projects both large and small. Like on the Valentine's Day Heart Coaster seen below.
Lately, this has been a favorite edge to use on anything from blankets, doilies, coasters, and more.
This simple, but interesting combo gives a little something extra to the look and feel of a crochet edge.
Below is an example of the use of the Riffle Edge on the Lacy Layers of Love Valentines Heart Coasters.
Riffle Edge Graph Pattern
NOTE that this edge looks best when done with at least 2 contrasting colors.

Thank you for stopping by.
Best wishes, happy crocheting, and happy Riffling!
