Bunny Egg cozy. Free knitting pattern.

Bunny for keeping warm breakfast egg - free knitting pattern. Easter pattern. Egg cozy.
Designed by Tatyana Korobkova


The toy is knitted in the  round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.
The finished bunny is approximately 14 cm tall.

Abbreviations

K = knit
P = purl
Sts = stitches
Kfb = knit into front and back of stitch
K2tog = knit 2 together
CO =  cast on
RND = round

Materials needed
·         4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles size US 2½  (3mm).
White, pink and green colored  yarns for rabbit.  I used Gazzal Baby Cotton XL / 50% cotton, 50% akrylic; 50 gr – 105 mt./
·         Toy stuffing
·         Yarn needle
·         Stitch holder
·         2 beads for eyes
·         Plastic nose
·         Black yarn for mouth

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams.

Body and  head are one piece.
