Drawn Patterns

The egg cosy patterns for this leaflet are drafted by the reader from the directions given. Since we’re not used to drawing our own patterns these days, I’ve included links to two patterns that have diagrams as well for anyone who would like to us them.

A pattern for a three piece felt egg cosy can be found in The Australian Women’s Weekly, July 28th 1934. This pattern can also be used as a guide to make the lined felt cosies in the leaflet.
