SPECIAL NOTES: These egg cozy crochet patterns I designed are a super cute way to decorate the breakfast table, or make them to show off Easter eggs. They work up so quickly and you only need a small amount of yarn that you can easily make a whole lot of them. They also make great little gifts or to make for school fetes Gauge is not so important as all eggs differ in size, and if a little tight at first, a little stretching by hand, will ease the tension on the completed cup Underside of completed Egg egg-cup WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED: Double Knit (DK) Yarn : Egg Base : Main Colour (MC) e.g. Lime Green or Olive Green, or White Egg Cups: B Colour, e.g. Red, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Bread Slice: Beige or Cream and Brown - Size 4mm ( US F-G / UK 8) Crochet Hook - Yarn Needle & Scissors Abbreviations – American terminology bl Work in back loops only ch chain hdc half double crochet join slip stitch (ss) to joint MC Main Colour sc single crochet ss slip stitch sts stitches Magic Ring – see: http://youtu.be/yFKOAOjDxt8 Base (Egg White or Leaf of Flower) - With MC - Do not turn work at the end of row Make a 8hdc Magic ring worked as follows: ch1, hdc8, ss to join = 8hdc Step 1 ch1, work 2hdc into base of ch, and 2hdc in each st, join by ss to top ch before 1st hdc = 16hdc Step 2 ch1, hdc into base of ch, hdc into next st, ch2, [hdc into next 2 sts, ch2] repeat to end, ss join in top ch stitch just before first hdc = 16hdc = 16 hdc Step 3 ss to and into ch space, [ch3, dc, ch2, 2dc]all into same ch space, [2dc, ch2, 2dc]all in next ch space]repeat to end, join in top ch of the 3ch = 32hdc Step 4 ss to and into ch space, ch3, 6dc into same ch space, [7dc into next ch space]repeat to end, join to top of 3ch (if doing the flower leaf version, this is where you join by dropping MC yarn in last pull thru of ss and continue pull thru with a contrasting colour yarn) = 56dc Step 5 ch1, ss all round & join.
