Sewing details
We start with the eyes- we will sew them at the height of row 12. First, mark the center just above the nose using pins, then measure 4 single crochet stitches from the center on each side, as shown in the picture.
Sewing the eyes starts from the top of the egg. First, sew one eye, then the other, and finish again at the top of the head. Remember to insert the yarn into the magic ring and bring it out at the same spot- this way, after tying the ends, you can easily hide them inside the egg.
Embroider the outlines around the eyes using white yarn. First mark their placement with pins. To prevent the yarn from slipping under the eyes, it’s a good idea to glue them with fast drying gel adhesive. Start again from the top of the head.
Embroider the eyelids using the same yarn as the egg. Start from the top, first stitching one eyelid, then moving on to the other. Finish again at the top of the head.
Embroider the eyelashes and eyebrows using black yarn. First, mark their size with pins, then embroider the eyelashes on one eye, followed by the other.
Do not finish off yet- move on to embroidering the eyebrows. First, mark their size, then stitch them using the same yarn. Finish at the top of the egg, tie a knot, and hide it inside.
Sew the feet so that they slightly overlap the egg and face outward. After attaching the paws, sew the tail on the opposite side.
Now it’s time for the ears. First, fold one ear in half and sew it then repeat the same with the other. Next, place both ears togetger and sew them to each other. Attach the finished ears to the top of the egg, either in the center or slightly to the side, depending on your preference.
Finally, embroider the smile. First, mark the position and size of the mouth with pins. I stitched my egg’s smile two rows below the nose, with a width of 6 single crochet stitches. In the row below, I mark two points to create a nice curve.
