Hold the egg with the narrow side facing you. Join the yarn to the loop ridge formed earlier and work a dc increase in each stitch. Fasten the yarn, cut it, and hide the tail.

Fold in half and crochet 6 sc through both layers. Leave a long tail for sewing and cut the yarn. Fold the ears in half and make one stitch so the ear takes a petal shape.

Flowers

Use YarnArt Jeans yarn (50 g/160 m), hook size 2.5.

Make 6 MR with the center color, then switch to the petal color.

Sl st, 3 ch, puff stitch with 3 yarn overs in the same stitch, ch, sl st in the same stitch, and repeat 6 times. Fasten the yarn and leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembly and Finishing

Sew the ears to the top of the egg.
