If you'd like an idea of what I'm working on now drop by my blog: www.littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk Please note that this listing is not for a finished item and does not include an egg cup. This is a little pattern for a knitted egg cosy. It is supplied by email in PDF format so you will need Adobe Reader to open the file. I knit it in cotton simply so that it can be easily washed and use 4ply/sport weight/5ply. It's quite good for using up small amounts of yarn that you might not have another use for. This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitting skills and is knitted flat on 2 needles and seamed. Finished size: approx 12cm (5 inches) from base to ear tip and it will fit over a large egg (organic of course) or a chocolate one if you prefer.

It is knitted straight on 2 needles and has one seam running underneath. You will need Adobe reader to open the pattern file as it is supplied via email as a PDF attachment. You'll need approx 12m (14yds) for the main colour, a small amount for the face and feet, a small amount of black yarn for the eyes and nose and some stuffing of your choice. You can use any yarn oddments and just need to match your needle size accordingly, for example I'd use 3.75mm needles with Aran weight, 3.25 / 3mm for DK weight and 2.75 / 2.25 mm for 4 ply (use a thinner needle size than recommended on the ball band in order to give a good finish after firmly stuffing. A portion of the profits from the sale of this pattern will be donated to the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
