Knit Little Snowman Holiday Ornaments

I am not ready to admit how soon it will be holiday time and snow time, but if you’re already in that spirit allow me to share with you these adorable cozy snowman ornaments, which would also be great for decorating gift bags.

Donna has all the details over at Felt Magnet. They’re a great little scrap project, worked in the round from the bottom up, so you stuff it as you go and finish off the top to close it up. Details like a scarf, face details, eyes and nose are added when the knitting is done. I love the little rosy cheeks!

I could see sitting by the fire one afternoon and knitting a bunch of these. They’d make cute teacher gifts as well, maybe using a favorite color or a school color for the hat and scarf?

I love a good pattern with a bit of whimsy, and luckily for me that’s easy to find when it comes to Easter knitting patterns. Read on for fun patterns with a theme of bunnies, chicks and eggs, perfect to knit for Easter and beyond.

There’s something about the combination of babies and Easter (and knit things, of course) that is just extra cute, so I couldn’t help sharing this bunny ear hat for babies from Catherine Anfield. It’s actually a set that includes a matching romper, but I’m focused on that sweet hat with the droopy bunny ears. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn, sized to fit a newborn and available on Ravelry.

For bigger kids and adults, Amanda Berry has this cute bunny ears headband, which is a free pattern on Ravelry. They call for bulky weight yarn and are worked in garter stitch, so they’re a great project for beginners.

Whether your egg hunt involves real eggs or the candy variety, you might want to knit up something to keep them warm. WarmandKnittedS on Etsy has a cute set of egg warmers with an Easter twist including a little hat, a chick, a bunny, an owl, a carrot and a sheep. The patterns call for sport weight yarn.

The patterns from Wild Welsh Knitting say they are specifically for creme eggs, but they would probably cozy real eggs just fine, too. This set includes a rabbit, hen, chick and piggy all worked in DK weight yarn. These knit up super fast for a fun little addition to your egg hunt or as a fundraiser.

How about eggs that look like bunnies? Amy Gunderson has this cute pattern (with knit and crochet versions) for an egg shaped rabbit that looks like it’s wearing a little ear hat made with a contrasting color. The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, but try different weights to get different sizes of eggs. You can find the pattern, called Egg-cited, on Ravelry.
