SLEEVE

DID YOU KNOW...?

The origins of the Easter Bunny are a bit of a mystery but some say it

is a symbol from a pagan tradition to celebrate a godess of fertility

• Eostre – who was often associated with rabbits. Our egg-delivering
  equivalent likely comes from Germany, and their tradition of an
  egg-laying hare called ‘Osterhase’ who layed eggs in handmade nests.

Use a stretchy cast off for the

neckband, Elizabeth Zimmerman’s

technique is included in the pattern
