Hi, Guys, and Welcome to Studio Knit.
In celebration of Spring, we are going to create Easter Egg Bunny Cozies. This is such
a fun, quick knit that can brighten up your plain old eggs all year round.
The materials you will need are yarn, 4 double pointed needles size 7US, a Stitch Marker,
Tapestry Needle, and Scissors.
This tutorial includes a free knitting pattern. I have included a link to it in the description
below. You will definitely want to get it for exact instructions row by row.
So, let us get started!
We will be knitting in the round. We are using 3 double pointed needles. There are 27 stitches.
So, that will be 90 stitches on each of the three needles. You just knit your first two
rows in your contrasting color. In this case, it is white. And those rows will be Knit-Knit-Purl,
Knit-Knit-Purl in order to get a nice, ribbed pattern to hold tightly to the egg. This is
the brim of the hat!
Next, we are going to switch to our main color. In my case it is yellow. And how we do this
is to knit together both color strands three times together to get started. So, knit once,
knit twice, knit three times. And then you can let go of your contrasting color and just
continue on with your main color. From here on out, it is a knit stitch. That will be
for rows three and four.
Wow. And now it is time to do decreases. I love this about quick knits. We?re already
getting down to the finish line. On row five, we?re going to knit two together and then
seven stitches. Then the same on the next two needles.
After that, there are two more rows of simply knit. If you refer to the pattern, you will
see the remaining decreases all the way until the final row. Just weave in your ends. Get
that top really tight and your hat is finished! You can leave it just like this, if you would
like to do a hat. It looks really cute. Or, continue on and let us make some bunny ears!
I am creating my bunny ears in my main color. Of course, you will not need to do that. This
is your egg, your bunny cozy, and you can do anything you want, colorwise, of course!
So, go ahead and finish off by making two bunny ears. You can refer to the pattern and
use two regular straight needles. I?m using the exact same double-pointed needles, again
Size 7 US. And, there are fourteen quick rows that you knit. You knit increases, as well
as decreases, and you bind off.
After you have completed both bunny ears, it is time to sew them on to the very top
of your hat. And we are done!
I hope you enjoyed learning how to make Easter Egg Bunny Cozies. I love my little Easter
Egg Bunny Family. I would love to see pictures, if you decide to give this a try yourself.
