Crocheting the Egg Base

• Round 3: Alternate between one single crochet followed by two single crochets in the same stitch.
• Round 4: Insert one single crochet into each stitch; no increases.
• Round 5–8: Continue alternating single crochets with increases every few stitches (refer to the tutorial for specific placement).
• Round 9–11: Crochet single stitches all the way around to maintain the shape.
• Round 12: Begin decreasing by single crocheting two stitches together.

• Round 14: Perform another set of decreases; repeat up to the end of the round.

Tip: Ensure the egg is stuffed firmly with fiberfill before closing at the final step. Use a tapestry needle to sew the opening neatly.

3. Make five double crochets, pull tight to secure, and slip stitch into the second chain of the round.
4. Leave a long tail for sewing and attach the beak to the egg just below where the eyes will be embroidered.

 Embroidering the Eyes

1. Grab black yarn and thread it through a tapestry needle.
2. Count two rows above the beak and embroider symmetrical dots for eyes. This step is simple but requires attention to spacing.

Adding the Crest

1. Wrap yellow yarn around two fingers about 7–8 times.
2. Use scissors to trim and create small strands.
3. Attach the crest to the top of the egg using a tapestry needle.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Patience During Decreases: Some rounds will feel tight, especially after stuffing the egg. Take your time and avoid rushing to prevent missed stitches.
• Firm Stuffing: Ensure the egg is tightly stuffed to maintain its round and smooth shape.
• Consistency in Eye Placement: Symmetry is key in making the chick look cute and proportional.

Crochet Tip

When trimming the crest, err on the side of caution—it’s easier to trim shorter strands later than reattach. Use sharp scissors for clean cuts.
