Cadbury Creme Egg Cover Bunny – A Quick Easter Knitting Pattern That’s Almost Too Cute

If you love those tiny seasonal knitting projects that use up odd bits of yarn and make people smile, this Cadbury Creme Egg Cover Bunny pattern from CraftBits is a sweet little Easter make worth a look. It’s designed as a knitted cover to fit a 40g Cadbury Creme Egg, worked flat in one piece, then sewn up at the side, with separate ears, a fluffy tail, and an embroidered face added at the end.

What I like about this pattern is that it has that old-school “quick knit with purpose” feel. It is the sort of thing you could pop onto an Easter table, tuck into a gift basket, or use as a fun little chocolate cover for kids, grandkids, teachers, or neighbours. The finished size is only about 2¼ inches wide by 2¼ inches high, so it is definitely one of those satisfying small projects that doesn’t demand a huge time commitment.

The materials list is very approachable too. It uses DK yarn, 3.25 mm knitting needles, a white fluffy or eyelash yarn for the tail, plus a yarn needle and a little dark yarn for the face embroidery. That means it is ideal for stash knitting, especially if you have a basket of leftover yarn that keeps breeding when you’re not looking.

The construction looks simple enough for confident beginners who are comfortable with basic shaping. The main cover starts with 25 stitches, works a few rows in rib, then moves into stocking stitch before decreasing to shape the top. The ears are knitted separately, and the tail is gathered into a little puff before being sewn on.

What makes this one especially appealing is the versatility. You could keep the bunny plain and classic, or easily give it more personality with stitched whiskers, sleepy eyes, pastel yarns, or even a tiny bow. It has that “make one and then suddenly you’re making six” kind of energy.

This is a lovely little pattern for knitters who enjoy novelty Easter projects, miniature gift knits, or chocolate-themed covers that feel a bit more special than just handing over an egg on its own. It’s quick, cute, and practical in that charming seasonal way. CraftBits even describes it as perfect for gift toppers, Easter baskets, or making your seasonal chocolate feel a bit more special, which really sums up the appeal.

It feels like it’s too early to be thinking about back to school, but as I write this my daughter has just a couple of weeks of summer left! So let’s get in that school and fall knitting spirit by looking at some apple knitting projects.

If you have a 22 needle circular knitting machine, knitting an apple is one of the easiest things you can do. I have an apple pattern over at Our Daily Craft that will take you just a few minutes to knit and they’re a great addition to your fall decor.

Apple hats are a classic, and whether you want to knit a hat that looks like an apple or one with apples on it, we’ve got you covered. For hats that look like apples check out the rolled brim version from Emma Crochet Design 4 U, which uses worsted weight yarn and comes in sizes for kids of all ages; and the ribbed brim version from Hand Knit Hugs. This one also calls for worsted weight yarn and comes in four kids sizes. Both include a stem and leaf.

If you’d rather have apples on your hat, try the Red Apple Hat from Little Red Window. This one is sized from newborn to 2T and calls for four colors of worsted weight yarn.

How about apple socks? You’ll find Ariel Chang’s Apple Picnic Socks as a free download on Ravelry. These use three colors of sock yarn and come in three sizes. Stone Knits also a pair of stripey apple socks that show the inside of the apple. These also have three sizes but they use six colors total, with the main color being a self-striping yarn.

If you want a little apple accessory for the house, the apple potholder from Nifty Knitter Designs is cute and a great way to practice double knitting. It uses two colors and you’ll find the colors in the reverse on the other side. The pattern only uses about 50 yards of each color of worsted weight yarn, so it’s a great use for odd balls, too.

Once you’ve got your double knitting skills sorted you can also try the double knit apple scarf from Crow and Chai Shop. The Winter Apples scarf is shown in red and gold, but you can use whatever colors you like. There are apples, stars and random stitches in the design, which calls for DK weight yarn. There’s also a matching fingerless glove pattern.
