Knit a Basket Full of Eggs

Now that we’ve covered Easter bunnies and chicks, why not knit up some eggs, too?

Little Red Window has a cute collection of Easter egg knitting patterns. Some of them are solid, some have little bands of Fair Isle. You could knit them in pastels like she did or whatever little bits of yarn you have lying around.

They call for Aran weight yarn but you can use whatever you have on hand, just choose a knitting needle size one or two smaller than you’d normally use for that kind of yarn so the stitches are tight and your stuffing won’t poke through. And be aware your eggs will be a different size from hers (which are about three inches tall).

You can grab the pattern, which has five different pattern designs as well as solid eggs, for $4 on Ravelry.

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
