Go beyond the granny square

While working on the crocheted Easter egg, I thought that it could easily be worked to make an egg cozy. You’ve probably heard of a tea cozy. Think of an egg cozy as the same thing - except for an egg. It could help protect hard boiled eggs or could be used to decorate plastic eggs.

The pattern is basically the same as the Easter egg but we don’t close it up all the way. Do one round of decreasing the stitches.

Add some fun fur and some googly eyes for a cute little monster. You could even use pipe cleaner for antenna and felt for eyes. I did use Caron yarn that is a little thicker than baby yarn. So just keep an eye on your size to know when to stop adding stitches.
