A knitting pattern, - Hot cross bun - Make them as a singing aid at your school, nursery or childminding setting to aid singing nursery rhymes / add to child’s toy kitchen to encourage role playing. / perfect Easter display.

Very simple pattern, worked flat with clear instruction. Available in English only

Made with DK yarn ( I have used Stylecraft Special DK Yarn but you can use any spare yarn you have) and worked on 3.25 mm needles, you will need to know how to make a crochet chain to make the cross icing on the top.

Each bun measure 25cm circumference & 8 cm high, if you use different yarn to the pattern the buns may come out slightly bigger or smaller, It doesn’t matter all sizes are great.
