  holding leaves in place, stretch and wrap a stocking piece around
  each egg; twist lightly and tie securely with a thread or string.
  
  Place eggs and onion skins in cold water in a large pan; gradually
  heat to boiling.  Reduce to low heat and simmer 30 minutes.  Remove
  eggs; let cool.

  pattern of clover or fern leaves.
