Step 2: Wrap the yarn around your hand

  • Cut a 10 inch strand of yarn and place it between your middle and ring fingers.

  • Pull the yarn from the back of your hand to your palm and hold both ends with your thumb.

  • Wrap the same colour of yarn (colour A) around your hand 50 times. Cut the yarn from the ball (you'll do this after every colour).
    After you've wrapped the yarn around a few times you don't have to hold the ends with your thumb anymore.

  • Choose a second colour of yarn (colour B) to be the egg's stripes. Wrap this colour, beside the first, 25 times. Try not to overlap the colours.

  • Wrap colour A another 50 times.
    At this point you may want to push the yarn further down your hand to make room for more yarn.

  • Wrap colour B 25 more times, and then colour A for a final 50 times. There should be 200 wraps total.

Step 3: Tie the yarn and cut the loops

  • Slide one end of the 10 inch strand back to the front of your hand and loosely tie it around the yarn bundle.
