Funny
egg cozies, not just for Easter! BIGGI & Co. are welcome “guests” at parties, during Carnival, or really anytime... an
ideal way to use up leftover yarn.
Quick and easy to knit in one evening in front of the TV, they make a last-minute little gift for any occasion.
Basic knitting skills are enough.
We knit in the round with a set of double-pointed needles. If you do not want to make a double long-tail cast-on, you can alternatively knit 4 rounds in garter stitch so the egg cozy does not roll up. Decorations are possible as desired and with your own creativity.
Material:
Basically, any yarn can be used with a slightly smaller needle size than indicated on the label.
1 egg cozy: approx. 10 g – 15 g yarn (leftovers) + leftover yarn for decorating;
here: set of double-pointed needles 4.0 and crochet hook approx. 3.0 for “knotting in hair”;
yarn needle for weaving in ends, sewing needle and buttons if needed, measuring tape, scissors.
Recommendation: safety eyes if the egg cozies are used as amigurumi for small children.
