Fun
egg cozies, not just for Easter! And an
ideal way to use up leftover yarn.
Knitted quickly and easily 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 rounds with a set of double-pointed needles. Decorations are possible as desired and with your own creativity.
Materials:
Basically, any yarn can be used with a needle size slightly smaller than indicated on the ball band.
1 egg cozy: approx. 10 g – 15 g yarn/leftover yarn + small amounts of leftover yarn for decorating;
here: size 4.0 mm set of double-pointed needles and approx. 3.0 mm crochet hook 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 toddlers.
