You will need:

Worsted weight yarn in a variety of colors (you only need a small amount, I used scrap balls of Red Heart Super Saver, With Love, All Things You Worsted, Lion Brand DIYarn, etc.)
G crochet hook
Regular size plastic Easter eggs
Yarn needle
Scissors

Instructions

Both the rainbow and unicorn eggs use the same basic egg pattern. It is the same pattern that I used for the bunny, chick, and lamb. The only difference is that in order to have the stripes line up I chose to join each round where the others are all worked in a spiral. I change my color in the last stitch of the round before the color change. When working the last single crochet of the round, instead of pulling through a loop of the same color, pull through a loop of the new color.

Make Horn

Round 3-5: sc in each stitch (5 sc)

Stitch to top of egg cover, slightly towards the front rather than directly on top

Make 2 Ears

With white yarn

Ch 4, sc in second stitch, hdc in next, dc in next

Stitch the ears to the top of the cover, to either side and slightly behind the horn

Make 3 Flowers

I made 1 purple 5-petal flower and 2 pink 4-petal flowers.

In magic ring, [ch 3, slip stitch in mr] repeat for a total of 4 or 5 petals.

Stitch flowers in front of the horn.

You could stitch eyes on the front if you want; I chose to leave mine plain. If you do stitch eyes on, I would recommend using embroidery floss rather than yarn because they are so small.

Fill eggs with treats and put inside the covers with the pointy side up.
