Basket of Easter Eggs Tea Cosy

The Basket of Easter Eggs Tea Cosy is the kind of Easter present you can make to give without the callorie content of Chocolate eggs.

The Easter basket has five painted eggs inside, with assorted designs and colours. And there are four dark purple crocus flowers in and around the basket too.

For the knitter there are lots of interesting elements in this project. There are mock cables around the bottom edge and rim of the basket. The basket itself is actually woven knitting. Then the grassy lining in the basket is knitted in loopy stitch. The eggs have color change, intarsia and applique work on them, but you could knit plain eggs or use colour changing yarn to give your eggs stripes without the hassle of changing yarns.

The 7 page knitting pattern contains lots of photos to help and guide you.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!
