I also think that egg cozies can be useful all year round, because a shared breakfast with friends or family is always a good reason for a beautifully set table. Here I’d like to introduce you to egg cozies from my shop:

Egg Cozy “Butterfly Flight”
These egg cozies bring color to the table and are perfect for using up leftover yarn. Even though three less commonly used stitches are used—treble crochet, stitches worked deeper down, and puff stitches—this crochet project is also suitable for beginners, because everything is explained in detail with pictures and words.
--> Get the pattern here: Egg Cozy “Butterfly Flight”



Octopus Eddie
Eddie is a slightly different kind of egg cozy, because the eggs are not stored individually here; it’s more of an egg basket, so to speak. Eddie has room in his tentacles for up to eight eggs. It is crocheted with Schachenmayr Catania or another cotton yarn for the same hook size. Only standard stitches are used, so Eddie is also a good beginner project.
