Crochet Ostara 'Eggs'

Vegan eggs for ostara which can be charmed in the spring equinox
- ☽ ✧ - Δ - ✧ ☾ -

Crochet with cotton or acrylic yarn (not wool) easter eggs for ostara. These are perfect for us vegans & the ostara festivities, which can be charmed instead of real eggs being charmed & even filled with lavender or even catnip for a favorite feline in the spring equinox. These were used in the ostara decorations including the pagan tree (see link end of post). A little tip with the crochet - count end of each round to keep shape & adjust stitches accordingly. From Chapter 'crochet'
