Crochet Easter Rabbit Creme Egg Cover/Holder Pattern

Easter is rapidly approaching which means I really need to get a move on and get some more Easter gifts made! I have got a few completed so far but will be running out of time soon.

The first Easter crochet makes I’ve completed this year are some crochet Easter rabbit creme egg covers/holders, these are perfect for gifting little eggs with and can be made in any colours you like – great for personalising for its recipient. I used crochet feet for these but you can make them out of felt if you prefer.

Materials

50g DK wool in light or dark grey – you could also make multicoloured rabbits too!.
Small amount of pink DK wool to make the inner ear details.
Small amount of white wool to make the tail.
4mm crochet hook.
Small strip of card 1cm wide.

If you want to use felt for the feet instead of having crochet ones you will need some light or dark grey felt big enough to cut out 2 feet.

Take the band and wrap it around the easter egg, next either sew the tail and feet on while still wrapped or mark where you want them to be, remove the band and sew them on.
