This is the follow on to Egg Cosy Part 1.
Extras
If
you want to continue to add the extras to make a more advanced Egg Cosy here
are the instructions. First of all I found it easier to check placement if I
had a model to place the Egg Cosy upon. It isn’t strictly necessary but useful.
Here is a picture of what I used but normal Hard Boiled Eggs are fine.
Bird
(Owl) Pattern
This pattern is designed to be used with the Bell
Shaped Cosy. I have used 3mm Double Ended Needles although ordinary needles are
fine.
Tip
Before you start if you leave a reasonable long tail
when casting on it will help with the attachment – I found out this the hard
way!
