Here is what I did to make my egg.
Notes:
-
This pattern is worked completely in the round;
do not join after any round.
-
Round 6-9, and 12 you don’t need to be super
precise, just increase twice on each of those rounds. Try to stagger them a bit though.
-
The spots are pretty customizable. I’ve included a few ideas, but there are many
more options.
Materials:
-
Red Heart Super Saver in two colors, sample in
Aran and Guava
-
Size F crochet hook
-
Tapestry needle
-
Polyfill or other stuffing
