EGG COZY – FLOWER GNOME

Gnomes just in the winter or around Christmas? Of course not! The flower gnomes love the spring and the summer. Used as decoration they bring colors into your home, as egg cozies they keep your boiled eggs warm and cozy.
You can decorate them with crocheted leaves and flowers or use other items instead (flower-buttons, fake flowers etc.).

Great for using up some scrap yarn as well.
