How to Make a Cute Sunny-Side Up Egg
Are you a beginner looking for a fun and easy crochet project? In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a cute little sunny-side up egg using just two colors of yarn - white and yellow. With a simple pattern and basic crochet techniques, you'll have a super adorable egg in no time. So let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, gather the following materials:
- Two colors of yarn (white and yellow)
- 100% acrylic yarn
- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Needles
Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to creating the egg yolk.
Making the Egg Yolk
To start, we will create the egg yolk using the yellow yarn.
Starting the First Round
Begin by making a circle with six single crochet stitches. You can use a magic ring or any method you prefer, as long as you end up with six single crochet stitches in the first round.
Making Increases
In the next round, we will make increases by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the same stitch. Repeat this pattern for each stitch in the round. This will create a total of twelve stitches.
Continuing the Rounds
Continue crocheting in the same pattern of increases for the next few rounds. This will gradually increase the size of the egg yolk.
Shaping the Egg Yolk
As you crochet, you will notice the egg yolk taking shape. It's important to close each round with a slip stitch to maintain the circular shape. Keep repeating the pattern of increases until the desired size is achieved.
Securing the Yarn
Once you have reached the desired size for the egg yolk, secure the yellow yarn by running it up and down through the middle of the work. This will ensure that the yarn is firmly in place.
Now that the egg yolk is complete, let's move on to making the egg white.
Making the Egg White
To create the egg white, switch to the white yarn.
Starting the First Round
Begin the first round of the egg white by making a single crochet stitch in the same place as the slip stitch. This will help maintain the continuity between the egg yolk and the egg white.
Making Increases
Similar to the egg yolk, make increases by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the same stitch. Repeat this pattern for each stitch in the round to gradually increase the size of the egg white.
Shaping the Egg White
The egg white doesn't have to be perfectly symmetrical. We want it to resemble the freeform shape of a real egg. Continue making increases and single crochet stitches until you are satisfied with the size and shape of the egg white.
Sewing the Pieces Together
Once both the egg yolk and egg white are complete, it's time to sew them together. Take care to sew the pieces together evenly and ensure that no yellow yarn is visible from the back.
Finishing Touches
To complete the project, secure any loose yarn ends by running them up and down through the work. Trim off any excess yarn. Your cute sunny-side up egg is now finished!
