Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Crochet Basket Tray Base

The base for both the duck and egg designs starts with a circular basket tray.

Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring

1. Create a magic ring and chain 1 (this chain does not count as a stitch).
2. Work 10 half double crochets into the ring.

2: Expand the Circle

3. Tighten the magic ring and slip stitch into the first half double crochet.
4. Chain 1, then make 2 half double crochets in each stitch around. On the last stitch, work one single half double crochet because the chain at the start counts as the first stitch. Slip stitch into the first half double crochet to close the round.

3: Gradual Increases

5. Chain 1, make 1 half double crochet in the first stitch, and 2 half double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat the pattern: 1 stitch, then 2 stitches (increase). Continue until the end of the row.

4: Add More Rows

6. Chain 1 and increase by adding one extra single crochet before making an increase on each new row. For example:
   • Row 4: Work 1, 1, 2 (two single crochets before increasing).
   • Row 5: Work 1, 1, 1, 2 (three single crochets before increasing).
   • Continue expanding the circle until the size matches your desired tray diameter.
     Save

5: Border and Slip Stitches

7. Start the border stitches by skipping the chain 1, working only in the back loops of each stitch. Crochet slip stitches around the edge to stabilize the border further.
8. Fasten off the yarn.

(Note: For the egg tray, use white yarn, while for the duck tray, use blue yarn.)

Part 2: Making the Egg Yolk

Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring

1. Crochet a magic ring and chain 1 (this chain does not count as a stitch).
2. Work 6 single crochets into the ring.

2: Build and Increase

3. Tighten the ring and skip slip stitching or chaining. Go directly to the next stitch and work an increase in each stitch (2 single crochets per stitch).
4. Place a stitch marker (optional) at the last stitch of the round for tracking.

3: Alternate Single Crochets and Increases

5. Work 1 single crochet in the next stitch, followed by an increase (2 single crochets in the next stitch). Repeat: 1 single crochet, 1 increase.

4: Increase Row Spacing

6. For the next row, alternate 1 increase with 2 single crochets. (Example: 1 increase, 1 single crochet, 1 single crochet.)
7. Finish the final rows by crocheting only single crochets in each stitch to create a smooth yolk shape.

5: Finish

8. Slip stitch to the first stitch, fasten off, and attach the yolk to the white tray base using a needle.
