Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a cute eggshell for a crocheted duck. The eggshell consists of a top and bottom part that can be attached to the duck. This is part two of the tutorial, where we will focus on making the eggshells. If you haven't seen part one, where I show you how to crochet the duck itself, make sure to check it out in the description below. Let's get started!

Making the Top Eggshell

To begin, we will make the top part of the eggshell. Starting with a loop on your crochet hook, chain two. For the first round, we want to have six single crochet stitches. Insert your hook into the first stitch and crochet six single crochets. Once you reach the end, pull the tail to close the loop.

For the second round, we will increase to twelve stitches. This means we will have two stitches in each stitch around. Insert your hook into the first stitch and crochet two single crochets in that stitch. Repeat this pattern for all the stitches in the round.

Moving on to the third round, our pattern will be two single crochets followed by one single crochet all around. This will give us a total of 18 single crochet stitches. Continue following this pattern for the entire round.

For the fourth round, chain two and then do a slip stitch into the previous chain. In the next three stitches, do a slip stitch. Repeat this pattern around. By now, you should start to see the points forming, with a total of six points by the end of the pattern.

Continue working on the eggshell using the same pattern for subsequent rounds, adjusting the stitch count as needed. Once you have finished crocheting the top eggshell, you can cut off the tail. To attach the top eggshell to the duck, sew it down around the circle, making sure to have one point in the middle of the eye section for placement.

Making the Bottom Eggshell

Now let's move on to making the bottom part of the eggshell. Begin by creating a loop on your crochet hook and chain two. For the first round, crochet six single crochet stitches. This will be the base of the bottom eggshell.

For the second round, we want to have 12 single crochets. This means we will increase by crocheting two single crochets in each stitch around. Repeat this pattern for all the stitches.

Continue increasing the stitch count in each round, following the pattern provided, until you have completed the desired number of rounds. For the last round, crochet one single crochet in each stitch without any increases.

Once you have finished crocheting the bottom eggshell, you can choose whether to sew it onto the duck or leave it detachable for added fun. If you prefer to sew it, use the long tail to sew the bottom eggshell around the edges, leaving the points free. If you want the duck to be able to come in and out of the bottom eggshell, you can hide the ends and cut the tail shorter.
