Seagulls - Creme Egg Covers

If you have a passion for the seaside and adore coastal themes, these charming knitted Seagulls are perfect for you! Designed to 'hatch' a delightful chocolate egg, such as a classic Cadbury Creme Egg or a luxurious Lindt Lindor Egg, these little creations will bring joy to your Easter celebrations.

Both the Seagull patterns feature the same straightforward knitting technique, making them suitable for knitters of all skill levels. To create a realistic Herring Gull, simply use pale grey yarn, while slate grey yarn is ideal for crafting a Lesser Black-backed Gull. With just a few materials, including straight needles and leftover DK yarn, you can bring these adorable beach birds to life!

Each Seagull is worked flat using Stocking Stitch, ensuring a smooth finish and easy handling. The pattern calls for 4mm single-pointed needles for the main body of the Seagull, while a smaller 3.25mm single-pointed needle is needed for the beak, adding an extra touch of detail to your creation. Don’t forget to grab some tiny amounts of toy stuffing to give the head a lovely shape!

These delightful knitted Seagulls have a handy space for chocolate Easter eggs measuring 7cm, making them not only a fun decorative piece but also a sweet surprise for family and friends. Whether you're looking to enhance your Easter decor or gift a unique handmade item, these Seagulls are a fantastic project to showcase your knitting skills.
