Here's what you'll need:

• For each egg, several yards of #6/super bulky yarn.  For extra squish, I used a chenille style yarn in that weight.  Yarn shown in the eggs in the pictures is Honey Bunny by Hobbii in Candy Floss, Lilac, Lemon Curd, and Pink color ways.
• US 10 6.0 mm straight knitting needles
• Poly Fill/Fiber Fill (if you don't have this on hand, you can use yarn scraps, fabric scraps, or even cotton balls!)
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors                                                     

Sizing:

• 2.5 inches wide
• 3.5 inches tall
• 7.5 inch circumference
