Duplicate Stitched Eggs

You can really go to town decorating your eggs with some simple duplicate stitching. It's really fun after the work of knitting the eggs to just relax and have fun jazzing them up.
To do the duplicate stitch on a stuffed object, just bring the needle out the bottom of a stitch (leaving a tail) and sew like you normally would.

When you're done with a section, just stick the needle through the egg to the next place you want to sew.

For a full how-to on the duplicate stitch, check out this tutorial.

Thanks so much for a great pattern.
could anyone suggest a pattern for doing the eggs as one piece? I am having great difficulty picking up the stitches in the middle to do the second half.
Thanks in advance,as I have two children that would love these eggs.
Yes you can do provisional cast on, it'll be very nice.
