Size of the finished eggs
I made the Easter egg in 3 sizes. The big Easter egg is about 8,5 cm (3,3 inches), the medium is about 7 cm (2,75 inches), the small is about 5,5 cm (2,2 inches), if you use similar weight yarn. In case you use a thicker yarn, your eggs will be bigger, if you use thiner yarn, your eggs will be smaller.
