Full Etsy listing description
Yolk and Roll is a colourful egg cosy knitting pattern for Small, Medium and Large eggs, with a custom-fit formula for breakfast outliers. The seven-page A4 PDF uses UK knitting terms and guides a beginner through a garter hem, flat stocking-stitch body, two exact crown decreases, gathering and a tidy side seam. Stitch counts, row totals, egg limits, finished dimensions and yarn estimates are included for every size, alongside a worked circumference-and-height calculation. Knit each cosy in washable DK yarn on 4 mm needles, then personalise it with a contrast hem, two-row stripes or a small duplicate-stitch motif. Native diagrams explain the crown logic, while fitting, washing, food-contact and hot-egg safety guidance keep the project practical. Product illustrations show the intended styling; physical test-knitting remains outstanding. A quick scrap-yarn PDF pattern for cheerful breakfasts and small handmade gifts.

A little practical help

What do I need for Moss & Meadow?

Be comfortable with casting on, knitting and purling. The pattern uses Aran cotton, is knitted flat and suggests starting with 5 mm needles. Read the gauge and measuring instructions before choosing one of the three written sizes.

Can the plant-pot cosy stay on when I water?

Remove the cosy before watering. It is a decorative sleeve, not a waterproof container. Follow the care guidance for your yarn and the finished project.
