Pattern description
This cheerful Easter egg bursts with pastel rainbow stripes and a sweet, smiling expression that captures the playful spirit of springtime celebration. Rendered in 16 DMC thread colors across 71 × 95 stitches, the design combines smooth color-block stitching with fine details in the eyes and mouth to create a character-like charm. The bright yet soft palette—mint green, buttercream yellow, dusty pink, and powder blue layered horizontally—makes this an approachable intermediate project that rewards careful color placement without demanding extensive specialty techniques.
