I filled it with a few dried beans. I'll do beads or bells in future eggs as I didn't think about washing it at the time. Crash is wrapped around it sleeping, so I guess she likes it. Mine like the ones with tails best.

Thanks everyone. I don't crochet but will be learning soon. I still can't find the link but here is the pattern:
Material: Red Heart; size 7 knitting needles, a tape§try needle,
one stitch marker and scissors.
1. Cast on 24 stitches.
2. Row 1: Knit ~ stitches; place marker; knit 12. (You've
reached the end of the row and will knit back and forth. ." .....•"..'.:,.\.~. ,
Turn.)
3. Rows 2-12: Knit all stitches. (Garter stitch.)
4. Lay your egg on top of the cozy. Decide if the cozy is long enough - bear in mind you
will knit 6 decrease rows and garter stitch is stretch. If it's too short,.knit a few more
plain rows .
. 5. Row 13: *kl, K2 tog; k6, k2 tog, kl * slip marker, repeat from *. (20 stitches remain; 10
on each side of marker.)
6. Row 14: Knit all stitches.
7. Row 15: *Slip marker, kl, K2 tog; k2, k2tog, kl, k2 tog* repeat from *. (14 stitches
remain; 7 on each side of marker.)
8. Row 16: Knit.
9. Row,17: *Slip marker, k2 tog all the way around, dropping second marker.
10. Row 18: Knit all stitches.
11. Break yarn leaving a long tail. Thread tapestry needle; insert point through stitch on
opposite side, and then through all stitches sliding them off the needle. Draw through
. stitches and pull top shut. Use yarn to sew side. seam.
Weave in ends, trim. Turn right side out.
I think I did about 16 rows instead of 12. Then I left a really long string and knitted it for the tail.

How do these hold up to a ferret who likes to do the occasional fabric nibble? Not a dedicated fabric eater (...I hope...!) but my Freya used to have jingle bells wrapped inside a toddler sock that I had to ditch because holes were starting to form in the sock. I've been trying to come up with an alternative for her as I had to pitch all of her "favorites" in one day, poor girly. Do you guys think these knitted eggs would hold up longer?
