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 and Lilac colorways.
• US 10 6.0 mm straight knitting needles
• Ribbon (I used narrow matching satin ribbon)
  
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors                                                    
  

 

Sizing:

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

Here's how to make it!

1. Begin with the hat part,
2. Cast on 3 stitches.
