Crochet Easter Rabbit Creme Egg Cover/Holder Pattern

I recently made some crochet Easter Rabbit creme egg covers/holders for some Easter gifts and after I had made a few in different colours had a thought – why not also make a hanging decoration version too, you could fill a wooden tree stand with these little crochet Easter rabbit egg covers/holders all in different colours – it would look great as an Easter decoration or as a display for an Easter party. I need to make a few more to fill a tree with them but I’m hoping I might have enough time before easter to give it a try.

You could also decide not to add the feet on these if you like, but having them means you could always stand them too.

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.

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.
