Yarn Easter Egg Cozy (Free Crochet Easter Pattern)
Nothing quite says Easter like pastel colored eggs, bunnies, spring itself, and of course, the real reason, Christ’s sacrifice on the cross to save mankind. While I take Easter seriously for what it truly means, I enjoy the festivities and other icons associated with Easter, too.
When I realized it had been some time since I last designed any crochet patterns, much less Easter crochet patterns, Easter itself inspired me. Wanting a quick project anyone could do in less than an hour, I came up with these cute yarn egg cozies. They’re ideal for inserting candies, small plastic toys, or perhaps even an egg.
This cozy really doesn’t take much time at all, and they are so cute. Tuck them in a basket, hide them around the house, and everyone will enjoy them! Happy crocheting! Happy Easter!
