Easter Bunny Egg Cozy (Free Pattern)
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS THAT SUPPORT HANDY LITTLE ME CONTENT AND FREE PATTERNS.This Easter bunny egg cozy makes your kids hop with excitement to breakfast!
The pattern is easy and fast to make up – so you can make more than one if you want to before Easter.
The egg warmer is super soft with big, squishy, floppy bunny ears.
Easter Bunnies
This little bunny will fit over your egg and egg cup comfortably and look super cute while doing it!
Every Easter time, the bunnies come out and want to play, making great gifts for children, family, and friends.
If you want to make more bunnies, then you will fall in love with another free pattern I have for a floppy ear bunny – Easter Bunny Pattern (Floppy Ears + Cuddly!).
A Novelty Egg Cosy
I don’t know if any of you have a collection of egg cups stashed away, but we seem to have a box full.
But I don’t have any egg cozies to go with them; this is where the pattern comes in handy.
Not only are they (a little bit?) practical, but they look cute, and if you do a special Easter breakfast for the kids, then they will fit right in!
Easter Bunny And Eggs
My friend always makes an Easter breakfast for her kids, with Cadbury’s egg nests, creme eggs (plenty of chocolate on the menu!), and handmade Easter-themed decorations.
This fluffy bunny egg cozy will fit right in, made in traditional colors or your own color choices.
Surrounded by novelty egg cups, chocolate eggs, painted eggs, and more, this holiday will be an explosion of color in your home!
Making The Bunny Egg Cosy
The cozy is made in three pieces: the head (main piece), which fits over the egg, and two Easter bunny ears.
All the pieces are knit flat and then seamed and stitched into place.
The yarn I used was Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky in milky and pink.
This is a great yarn to work with and can be used for many baby and kids projects.
The texture is soft and squishy so that it would be awesome for hats, blankets, and toys.
A Fluffy Bunny Tail?
You could add a small fluffy pom tail to the back of the bunny’s body if you wish.
I was going to and then forgot…
I do think a fluffy tail would look awesome, though!
You could create a small pom from the same yarn and stitch it into place on the back piece.
