Well, if the Easter Bunny didn’t leave something adorable behind! These baby bunnies will keep your hard- or soft-boiled eggs warm and also serve as a great hiding spot for those yummy Easter Creme eggs! The kids will love playing finger puppets with them too! A small amount of yarn and a small amount of time will keep you from scrambling for Easter decorations. Get cracking!
Your kit includes:
- One 50g skein of Camp Color
- One ball of Lang Lace Mohair Silk or Rowan Kidsilk Haze - colour matched (see below for colour pairings).
- A print copy of the Easter Bunny Egg Cosy pattern
You'll also need:
- 3.0 mm needles for knitting small circumferences in the round. Gauge isn't critical for this project, so smaller or larger needles will also work.
- (Optional) a crochet hook in a similar size for making a bow to go around our bunny ears; and
- A tapestry needle for weaving in ends and embroidering the face.
