Dive into the joy of Easter with a knitted egg cozy that’s as fun to make as it is to display. This cozy, the third in a series, brings a playful twist to your Easter decor with its eye-catching criss cross cable motif. I’ve designed it specifically for those who love the idea of adding a handmade touch to their celebrations, without getting tangled up in complexity.

This pattern introduces elongated stitches in a contrasting color to make a criss cross cable motif. It’s beginner-friendly, ensuring that even those new to knitting can join in on the fun and finish with a cozy they’re proud of.

Sized to fit a 3.5” (9 cm) tall plastic egg, this cozy is all about bringing the spirit of Easter into your home in a unique way. You’ll slip the egg inside the knitting and then knit the last 3 rounds with the egg inside.
It’s a straightforward project with a twist – literally.

If you’re looking to add to your collection or start a new Easter tradition, this could be just the project you need. It’s not just a pattern; it’s an invitation to make something that brings a bit of joy and a pop of color to your Easter celebrations. Ready to cast on?
