Ostara walks through the fields, butterflies and song birds behind her, grasses springing up from her footsteps and flowers blooming at her touch. She is a gentle goddess, known for bringing the spring to the North and her bunnies love to hide eggs, which we paint for her in all the colors of the rainbow. Celebrate the spring by making some scrappy eggs for hiding and hunting. Add some beans and give them a shake, fill a basket with them or hang them in a garland to honor the new life all around us.

Ostara's Eggs is a perfect pattern for stash diving! Requiring only 6g or about 30 yards of fingering weight yarn, a basket full of eggs is a wonderful way to use up all that left over fingering weight yarn. This is a great opportunity to use up those scraps from knitting socks or a great way to work up those minies! Striped eggs are always a cute option for using every last little bit and ends can be simply tucked inside. I made my eggs with scraps left after making my epic Rainbow Find Your Fade Shawl by Andrea Mowery.
