A perfect little cover for a creme egg and they look like a crochet rabbit – these cute little covers fit nicely over a chocolate creme egg.
Crochet Creme Egg Bunny Covers. ?
Perfect for any little person to hunt for on Easter Sunday.
I designed them using some inspiration from the local Local Hospice. Every year they run a campaign called Charlie Chick. I volunteered to make some chicks for them, if they had a crochet pattern, as I’m not a knitter, but they didn’t have one, so I played with some crochet instead!
This pattern is free right here, right now!

I also have created a Printable PDF of this pattern (which is the same as listed below but in a nice printer friendly format).
It will only cost a small fee of ?1.20 on the PDF as it takes a lot of work to create these patterns.
The PRINTABLE PDF is AVAILABLE FOR ?1.20 (GBP) on Ravelry and Etsy.

At this point – it’s easier to sew the eyes on too.
