How to Crochet This Easy Christmas Egg Cosy

Holding 2 stands of Main Colour together, create a MC.

Round 1: Ch1. Working into centre of MC, HTr 6 times. Sl St to top of 1st HTr to join the round. (6)

Round 2: Ch1. Work 2 HTr into each stitch around. Sl St to top of 1st HTr to join the round. (12)

Round 3: Ch1. *HTr, work 2 HTr in next stitch*. Sl St to top of 1st HTr to join the round. (18)

Round 3-5: Ch1. HTr into each stitch around. Sl St to top of 1st HTr to join the round (18)

Change to Contrasting Colour.

Round 6: Ch1, in BLO, Dc into each stitch around. Sl St to top of 1st Dc to join the round. (18)


Round 7: Ch1, in BLO, Dc into each stitch around.


Fasten off with an invisible join and weave in the ends.

Do not weave in the starting yarn - you'll use that to secure your pom-pom.

How to add a fringe to a scarf

Adding the pom-pom

  • Using the contrasting colour, make a 35mm pom-pom.
  • With your darning needle, thread the tail of your pom-pom through the centre of the top of your mini-beanie.
  • Tie a knot with the starting yarn and the tails of you pom-pom tightly, 3 times.
  • Trim the strands and make your breakfast more festive by popping the Festive Egg Cosy on top of your boiled eggs!
