Benjamin Bunny Easter Egg Sweet Pot
What is Being Made
The Benjamin Bunny Easter Egg Sweet Pot is a beginner-friendly knitted decorative container designed by Andrew Lucas. This charming project creates a small pot suitable for holding Easter eggs or sweets, featuring a three-dimensional bunny rabbit form constructed entirely through knitting techniques.
Knitting Techniques Used
This project employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for beginners. The construction relies on casting on to create the initial stitches, followed by systematic increases and decreases to shape the three-dimensional form. The bunny is built by strategically changing yarn colors to define different body sections, then binding off using the traditional method of threading the final stitches together and pulling tight to gather and close the opening.
The pattern demonstrates color work through yarn changes rather than complex stranding or intarsia techniques, making it accessible for newer knitters. Shaping is achieved through distributed increases across rows and paired decreases (knit two together) to taper sections smoothly.
Stitches Used
- Knit stitch (k) – the fundamental stitch forming the fabric
- Purl stitch (p) – used in combination with knit stitches
- Stocking stitch (st st) – alternating rows of knit and purl creating a smooth, flat fabric
- Garter stitch (gs) – created by knitting every row for textured sections
- Knit two together (k2tog) – a right-leaning decrease used to shape the form
- Purl two together (p2tog) – a left-leaning decrease worked from the purl side
- Make one (m1) – an increase created by knitting into the back of the loop between two stitches
- Slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (skpo) – an alternative decrease technique
Materials Required
This project requires 3.25mm knitting needles and double knitting wool in multiple colors: blue, brown, dark brown, green, beige, and black. Only small amounts of each color are needed, making this an excellent project for using yarn scraps and oddments. A small amount of stuffing is included to add dimension and structure to the finished bunny form.
