Check Out These Gorgeous Brioche Knit Easter Eggs

Brioche is a knitting technique that scares a lot of people because it looks super fancy, and the truth is it certainly can be complicated.

Once you get the hang of it, it’s not so bad, but it’s a great idea to start with a small project to gain some confidence.

As wee projects go, you can’t get much cuter than these Easter brioche eggs from Katrin Schubert. Worked with around 50 yards of yarn, they’re great for using up your lovely little bits and will make a fantastic addition to your spring decor.

I haven’t knit any brioche in a while but I might just give it a shot to stitch up a few of these beauties.

What do you think? Have you tried brioche knitting before? I’d love to hear about it!

Easter Bunny Knitting Patterns

Hop into the Easter spirit with these adorable Easter bunny knitting patterns! Whether you’re looking for a stuffed animal or a decorative piece, you’ll find plenty of patterns to choose from. From classic bunnies to unique designs, there’s something here for everyone.

This free knitting pattern falls in the category of cute but maybe not essential, as well as a nice way to use some yarn left over from another project.

The Briggs St. Fruit Hammock from Mycah Knits is beginner friendly because it’s a big rectangle worked in stockinette stitch on larger needles than the yarn would usually call for (size 11 US/8 mm for DK weight/weight 3 yarn) to provide more air flow around the fruit.

The idea behind a fruit hammock like this is both that it saves you counter space since it’s meant to be mounted under a cabinet and that air flow around the fruit helps prevent moisture from getting trapped below the fruit, which should keep it fresh longer. They’re also just cute and keep your fruits or veg accessible so hopefully you will eat more of them.

This pattern also includes I-cord handles, which is how you hang the hammock, and you’ll need to be able to pick up stitches for them, but that’s the only beyond beginner skill required in this project.

It only uses about 25 grams of yarn, so this is a perfect project for using a little something left over from another project. It would also be cute with stripes, so you can use odd balls from several projects. Or make the I-cord with a contrasting color to add a bit more fun if you like.

The designer does recommend using acrylic yarn for this project because it shouldn’t stretch out of shape with use and is easy to wash should your aspirations for eating fruit outstrip your reality. But they also provide tips for testing the stretch in a yarn you want to use and adjusting the pattern to account for that.

I don’t have a space in my place for this but it is super cute and a fun way to add knitting to the home, which I’m always a fan of.

You can grab the free pattern on Ravelry.
