4 Ply Yarn Knitting Patterns
This pattern uses oddments of cheap 4 ply knitting yarn (I usually work it in cotton – such as Rowan Cotton 4ply) and uses 2.75 mm needles. My tension works out to 8 stitches and 10 rows per inch. The egg is knitted flat and then seamed using mattress stitch. You can stuff the finished egg with polyfil / wool / cotton wadding or it will fit around a polystyrene egg (see here for supplies within the UK). Row 11: Change to 4 ply wool for knitting colour for pattern band – work chosen pattern band over the next 12 rows (see charts below for pattern suggestions) or simply use a contrasting colour for middle 12 rows.
