Instructions for Bobble Stitch:

Yarn over, pull through the first two loops.
Repeat this process 3 times in the same stitch until 4 loops remain on the hook.
Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook to complete the bobble.

Switch back to light yellow yarn, tie off the dark yellow yarn, and secure the ends.

Closing the Hole:

Cut the yarn, leaving a 5-inch tail.
Thread the tail onto a yarn needle.
Insert the needle through the outside loops of each remaining stitch around the opening.
Pull the yarn tightly to close the hole. Stitch a few extra passes if the hole isn't fully closed.
Weave the yarn tail into the body and trim.

Wings

Locate positioning for wings: Place them one row below the safety eyes and 3 stitches outward on each side.

Right Wing:

Attach light yellow yarn.
Ch 1.
Work 2 hdc into the next stitch.
Slip stitch into the following stitch. Cut yarn and secure the end with a knot.

Left Wing:

Repeat the same process for the other side. Position the first stitch one stitch apart from the eyes.

Tuck and weave all ends carefully into the chick to hide them.

Using dark yellow yarn, embroider a small “V” shape below the safety eyes for the mouth.
Weave the ends into the body to finish.

Sunny Side Up Egg Hat

Yolk (Dark Yellow Yarn):
Round 1:

Option 1: Hot glue the egg securely in place.
Option 2: Sew the egg onto the chick’s head using the yarn tails and a yarn needle.

Conclusion

Your adorable crochet chick with its sunny-side-up egg hat is now complete! This charming design combines minimal sewing techniques with adorable details, making it a delightful project for yourself or as a gift.

Pattern Correction

Double-check to ensure safety eyes are positioned symmetrically for balance. Additionally, when making the yolk, ensure all stitches are pulled tightly to avoid gaps in the fabric. If the chick’s base feels too loose, add a final stitch or additional stuffing for firmness before closing.

Tips

Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds if working in continuous rounds becomes confusing.
For the bobble stitch, tighten the yarn firmly to make the bobble more prominent.
When sewing or gluing the egg, ensure proper alignment so it sits flat on the chick’s head.
