Easter Egg Pockets
At Home
A little pocket of spring, made to last.
Bright, reusable, and just the right size for a chocolate or two — these hanging easter egg pockets bring a touch of handmade charm to your easter celebrations. Designed as part of the At Home collection, each egg works beautifully on its own or as part of a set, hung from a branch or tucked along a windowsill.
Each egg features a neat button fastening and an optional flower embellishment, and because gauge isn’t critical, they’re a wonderful stash-busting project — try them in whatever yarn you have to hand and see what colour combinations you can create. A bigger yarn will simply mean a bigger egg (and even more room for chocolates).
Flat, washable, and easy to store, these eggs can be brought out year after year — a gentle, plastic-free way to mark the season and make it feel special.

Make it Your Own
- Colour your season: Make a matching set in coordinating pastels, or go bold with contrasting colours — each egg has its own personality.
- Gifting made easy: Fill with chocolates, tuck in a small gift, or use them to set up a memorable easter egg hunt with hidden clues.
- Stash-friendly: Gauge isn’t critical, so these work beautifully with whatever cotton DK you have to hand — bigger yarn simply makes bigger eggs.
- Add the flower: The optional flower embellishment adds a beautiful finishing touch — keep it or leave it off depending on your style.
