Easter Egg Hunt Cloth

Last year we had our first family Easter Egg Hunt at our house.  Everyone had so much fun and I'm really looking forward to another one this year.  That's where the idea for this cloth came from....two Easter eggs nestled in new spring grass.  There's still plenty of time to whip this one up for your own Easter celebration!  Have fun everyone!

Weave in ends and block, pushing down on stockinette stitches and leaving the purl stitches (so they "pop"). Lay flat to dry.
