Easter Rabbit Egg Cozy Knitting Pattern Tutorial

Easter will soon be here, I still have so many treasures to make for my little ones, I thought I would share this Easter rabbit egg cozy knitting pattern with you. He knits up so quickly:) I have knitted this one in a bamboo yarn, so soft, but any leftover yarn will be perfect for this small project. You could even add a little nose and eyes with fleece and a felting needle, I just decided to leave this one plain:) He took about half an hour to make this morning while I was busy preparing lunch. When I had a moment, I would quickly pick up my knitting and add a few more rows. I have been looking for an easy crochet pattern for slippers, if anyone knows of one, won't you please point me in that direction, thank you so much.
What Easter projects are you busy with at the moment?
Enjoy!

Materials:

DK or any left over yarn
4mm circular needles
Wool needle for sewing up

Cast on 9 stitches on circular needles. I have used the Magic Loop Method of knitting.

Knit into the front and back of each stitch in next round increasing your stitches to 18.
Knit 1 round
Knit into front and back of each stitch in next round increasing your stitches to 36.
Knit garter stitch for 12 rounds.
Knit 4 rounds of purl stitch and then cast off :)

Sew in all ends. Sew around the opening where you began knitting, just thread through the stitches and pull tight.

Ears:
Cast on 5 stitches.
Knit 8 rows in garter stitch.
Knit the first 2 stitches together on each row until there is 1 stitch left.
Cast off.

  1. This is too cute!! I definitely want to try it. I have a hard time finding egg cups though. :) We used to have a set of pottery ones growing up. Maybe those would end up broken, though!

  8. I am lately obsessed with egg cozies, sadly we dont have egg cups! (though we do use some old shot glasses sometimes)
    I am deep into easter knitting making whole bunnies, bunny cozies and hopefully some felted egg critters. And this week we start our easter crafting with felted eggs!
