A great couple keeps your breakfast eggs nice and warm, so it’s no problem if things take a little longer in the bathroom.
Ideal for using up leftover yarn , the two are quick to make and are a fun eye-catcher not only on the breakfast table.
The egg cozies shown were crocheted with a size 3.5 hook using cotton yarn and single crochet stitches.

For beginners, Hoppel the Chubby Bunny is ideal. With its many colorful Easter eggs, it definitely helps pass the time until Easter.

You’ll receive a detailed 14-page pattern with plenty of photos to help you follow along. The PDF includes the pattern for the bunny, the basket, and the colorful Easter eggs.

You’ll also need:
  • Yarn for a 4 mm hook, 100 g/276 m. In this case, I used “Simply DK” by Paintbox Yarns in mandarin orange, 1 skein for the bunny
  • For the basket, I used yarn for hook size 8–9 (60 m/50 g) in apple green
  • You’ll also need leftover yarn in white, light blue, and black for the eyes, apricot for the tail and nose, and various other colors for the Easter eggs. (A great way to use up leftover yarn!)
  • Crochet hooks sizes 3.5 and 4.5
  • Weaving needle, darning needle, stuffing

These little, colorful bunnies are really super easy to crochet and perfect for using up leftover yarn. It’s truly a win-win situation. Warning: highly addictive!
I used Catania by Schachenmayr for the bunnies, but of course any other yarn will work too. The little bunnies might just turn out a bit bigger or smaller. Try it out for yourself to see how you like them best! You can find the pattern here!

Perfect for crafting beginners and even suitable for crafting with kids—these colorful egg cups are easy to make and quick to finish.



The egg cups are made from cardstock and measure about 11 cm in diameter. You need no more than one sheet of DIN A5 per cup, so they’re also very economical in terms of material use.
