Crocheting Yoshi's Egg - Step by Step Tutorial

Now let's dive into the tutorial and crochet Yoshi's egg together. Follow the instructions below:

1. Starting the Egg: Begin with a magic ring and crochet six single crochet stitches inside the ring.
2. Increasing the Stitches: Make six increases to have a total of 12 stitches.
3. Crocheting the White Part of the Egg: Work one round of one single crochet in each stitch, without any increases.
4. Adding More Stitches for the Egg: Crochet two single crochet stitches followed by one increase, repeated six times, to have a total of 24 stitches.
5. Crocheting the Decreases for the Egg: Make four single crochet stitches followed by one decrease, repeated six times, resulting in 30 stitches. Then, make three single crochet stitches followed by one decrease, again repeated six times, to have a total of 24 stitches.
6. Stuffing and Closing the Egg: Start stuffing the egg after the second decrease round. Proceed with one single crochet stitch followed by one decrease, repeated six times, resulting in 12 stitches. Finally, make six decreases and secure the thread to close the circle.

Crafting Dots for the Egg

In this section, we'll focus on creating the dots for Yoshi's egg. We'll make two different types of dots - Dots A and Dots B.

1. Making Dots A: Using an 8mm crochet hook, start with a magic ring and crochet six single crochet stitches inside it. Make six increases and continue with one single crochet stitch followed by one increase, repeated six times, to have a total of 24 stitches.
2. Making Dots B: Repeat the same process for Dots B, but with slight variations. Crochet six single crochet stitches in a magic ring, make six increases, and then work one single crochet stitch followed by one increase, repeated six times, resulting in 18 stitches.

After completing the dots, cut the thread and finish them off invisibly for a clean and seamless finish.

Sewing the Dots to the Egg

It's time to attach the dots to the egg! Use the curved darning needle and sew the dots to the white part of the egg. For a blending effect, sew only the contours of the dots to the egg. Watch the tutorial video for a visual demonstration of this step.
