This Egg Cozy Collection includes 4 patterns:
-Sheep Cozy
-Hedgehog Cozy
-Bunny Rabbit Cozy
-Chicken Cozy
All cozies fit a large-sized chicken egg

This versatile sheep cozy can have many uses; it fits a large chicken egg, which is about the same size as a plastic re-fillable egg. Create a whimsical centrepiece, embellish an Easter basket, or leave on your co-worker’s desk as a secret surprise!

To give the textured appearance of the body, I recommend knitting 2 strands of yarn together. One worsted weight held with a lace/light fingering mohair or boucle yarn. Dig through your stash and see what unique combinations you can come up with for your flock!

Yarn: Approx. 25 yds of worsted weight yarn, held together with approx. 25 yds lace weight textured or boucle yarn for the sheep body and top of the head.
White sheep was knit with Red Heart super saver in aran colour for the body, held with Be Sweet Extra fine Boucle in Natural.
