Tall and Pointy Egg Cosy (R2)

This egg cosy consists of a stocking-stitch cone and an i-cord decoration. The i-cord is only attached at the ends so you can have hours of fun arranging the loops.

A printable version of this pattern is available.

You will need:

double knit yarn in black and white
4 x double ended knitting needles (3.25mm)
tapestry needle
scissors

Pattern:

Cast on 36 stitches in black, join into the round.

(A list of abbreviations is available.)

Round 1: p –
Round 2: k –
Round 3: p –
Rounds 4 to 14: k –
Rounds 15 to 44: k2tog, k –

Thread yarn through remaining 6 sts and pull tight.

To make the loop decoration, cast on 5sts in white and i-cord for around 30cm. Thread yarn through remaining sts and pull tight.

Making Up:

Sew one end of the i-cord to the bottom edge of the egg cosy. Wrap the i-cord around the knitting in a loose spiral and sew the other end to the peak of the cone.

Sew in any remaining loose ends.

Notes:

Decrease Rows

In the above pattern the decrease rows are all shown to be the same (k2tog, k –). This is a bit of a cheat because it's not how the cosy in the photo was knitted.

For a more even finish the k2tog decrease was done at a different place in every round.
