Garden Birds - Mini Easter Egg Nests

Bring a touch of springtime cheer to your home with our delightful knitted garden birds nestled in their cozy nests, each designed to hold special mini foiled chocolate Easter eggs! These charming creations are perfect for enhancing your Easter celebrations—use them as eye-catching decorations for your Easter tree, hide them in the garden for an exciting Easter egg hunt, or gift them as delightful teatime chocolate favors.

This easy-to-follow knitting pattern features a collection of beloved garden birds—the Blue Tit, Robin, Song Thrush, and Blackbird—along with their snug nests, all quickly knitted in one seamless piece using odds-and-ends of DK yarn. To bring your feathered friends to life, you'll need straight needles along with tiny amounts of toy stuffing to fill them out. With the following techniques involved, you’ll enjoy a relaxing and satisfying crafting experience:

• * Stocking Stitch
• * Garter Stitch
• * Worked Flat
• * 3.25mm Single-pointed Needles

Each nest has a convenient diameter of 7cm, providing the perfect snug fit for mini eggs, while the lovely birds measure approximately 5cm tall. These knitted treasures will not only brighten your festive décor but also make wonderful, handmade gifts that are sure to delight family and friends with their cuteness!

Please Note: The nests are too small to accommodate a Creme Egg cover.
