TULIP - EGG SITTERS

✿ ✿ ✿
Get spring inside your home and onto your breakfast table with this beautiful Egg Sitters!

They are a nice change compared to common egg warmers.

These here are in tulip form and sit on a nest of grass.
Your egg is hidden inside the bulb and kept warm until you’re ready to eat it. :)

Additional use: the Egg Sitters are not only a nice change on your breakfast table; they make for beautiful decorative items as well: on the table, the window sill, your shelfs…

The tulip’s stalk is variable in length. Especially when making a group of tulips you can get them to look slightly different pretty easily. You can also play with colors as much as you like. Whatever you like goes. :)

Bonus: this is a NO SEW pattern (aside from sewing remaining openings closed), since the leaves and petals are directly crocheted onto the tulip. So with every tulip you make they’ll always sit in the right place.
