Needlework: Easter Bunny Cozy

Each adorable "cozy" would make a cute table decoration at each placesetting at Easter dinner. The "cozy" fits over a large plastic candy filled Easter egg. Rather than make pompoms, I purchased them from A.C. Moore along with the cellophane bags. I made French knot eyes and embroidered a pink nose on each bunny.  This is a free pattern from Lion Brand .  They offer many other free patterns on this site.
