00:00Now let's learn how to crochet this yellow chick's eggshell.

00:04The eggshell can be separated from the chick.

00:08Here's the general process.

00:10Start with a magic ring.

00:11Make five rounds of double crochet stitches.

00:14Finish with one round of picot edging.

00:18To ensure the eggshell fits the chick perfectly,

00:21we recommend checking the size periodically while crocheting.

00:25Adjust your hook size or tension

00:27if needed during the process.

00:30Take the white yarn.

00:31Start with a magic ring.

00:33Wrap the yarn around your left hand.

00:35Make a ring on your middle finger.

00:41Insert your hook into the ring

00:43and make one chain stitch to secure.

00:47For the eggshell, we'll be using double crochet stitches.

00:52So you'll need to make two additional chain stitches

00:54as your turning chain.

00:56Total three chains.

00:58These three chain stitches count as your first double crochet.

01:03Now let's learn the double crochet technique.

01:06Yarn over the hook.

01:09Insert the hook into the ring.

01:13Yarn over again and pull through the loop.

01:18Now there are three loops on the hook.

01:20Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops.

01:32Let's take a look.

01:34Here's the completed double crochet I just made.

01:38This is the three chain turning chain.

01:42The turning chain also counts toward the total stitch count.

01:47Therefore, place a stitch marker on the third chain

01:50to mark our first double crochet.

01:51Let's take a look.

02:05Let's take a look.

02:06This is the three chain turning chain.

02:10Here's the completed double crochet I just made.

02:13Now that we've completed two double crochet stitches,

02:17we need to work 10 more double crochet stitches.

02:22Yarn over the hook.

02:24Insert the hook into the ring.

02:27Yarn over again and pull through the loop.

02:30Yarn over and pull through the first two loops.

02:33Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops.

02:36Continue using this method to work the remaining stitches.

03:06Remove the hook and verify if 12 stitches have been completed.

03:26Next, pull the yarn tail to tighten the loop.

03:43Then, make a slip stitch at the marked stitch.

03:50Special attention should be paid to the slip stitch placement.

03:56Insert the hook into the chain space.

04:02Catching both the front half loop of the chain and its back loop.

04:07There are two strands.

04:17Yarn over and pull through all loops.

04:23Lift the hook to tighten the slip stitch.

04:25This completes the first round of the eggshell.

04:29Now we've moved on to round two.

04:31The pattern for this round is to make 12 sets of double crochet increases

04:35on the 12 double crochets from round one.

04:38First, make three chain stitches as your starting chain.

04:43Place a stitch marker on the third chain stitch.

04:46Then, make another double crochet in the same stitch where you made your starting chain.

05:03This counts as making two double crochets in one stitch, completing your first double crochet increase.

05:23Next, locate the next stitch here.

05:30Make a double crochet.

05:40Make a double crochet.

05:40Then, make another double crochet in the same stitch.

05:42Then make another double crochet in the same stitch.

06:00This completes your second set of double crochet increases.

06:06Continue this pattern of making two double crochets in each remaining stitch around until

06:10you complete the round.

06:121

06:172

06:221

06:282

06:321

06:362

06:401

07:041

07:082

07:10Once you finish this round, you should have 24 stitches.

07:16Three chain stitches can be counted as one double crochet.

07:21Each original stitch from round one should now have two double crochets made into it.

07:28Each post, vertical strand, represents one stitch.

07:38Then make a slip stitch in the third chain.

07:42Remove stitch marker.

07:46Insert the hook into the chain space, catching both the front half loop of the chain and its

07:57back loop.

07:58There are two strands.

08:01There are two strands.

08:08This is the half front loop.

08:12This is the back loop.

08:15Yarn over and pull through all loops.

08:18Lift the hook to tighten the slip stitch.

08:21Now we have finished round two.

08:23Next is round three.

08:25In this round, we need to make one double crochet, one double crochet increase twelve times.

08:32And there will be 36 stitches in this round.

08:35First, make three chain stitches and mark the third chain.

08:38Count these three chain stitches as the first double crochet of the round.

08:49So next stitch is double crochet increase.

08:52Yarn over.

08:53Insert hook into the next stitch.

08:58Yarn over and pull through.

09:02Yarn over and pull through the first two loops.

09:07Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops.

09:12Make a double crochet in the same hole.

09:15That is the double crochet increase.

09:19So, let's repeat the sequence of one double crochet, one double crochet increase until the end.

09:26A total of 12 times.

09:28One double crochet first.

09:34Next, one double crochet increase.

09:35One double crochet.

10:13As before, make a slip stitch at the marker.

10:14Insert the hook into the chain space.

10:15The last group.

10:29Now there have 36 stitches in this round.

10:34Please count your stitches to make sure.

10:37chance to make them.

10:38On the top part As before, make a slip stitch at the marker.

10:41Insert the hook into the chain space.

10:44Catching both the front half loop of the chain and its back loop.

10:48There are two strands.

10:59Yarn over and pull through all loops.

11:03Lift the hook to tighten the slip stitch.

11:05Now the third round is completed.

11:11After completing round three, you can check the size against the chick.

11:19If the size is appropriate, it should look something like this.

11:24Now we'll proceed to round four.

11:26The pattern for round four is five double crochets, one double crochet increase.

11:32Repeat this sequence six times in total.

11:36First, make three chain stitches and mark the third chain.

11:44Count these three chain stitches as the first double crochet of the round.

11:49So next stitch is double crochet.

11:51Next, double crochet.

12:00Next is also double crochet.

12:05Next, double crochet again.

12:07So now we make five double crochet.

12:14One, two, three, fourth, five.

12:17Next, we need to make a double crochet increase.

12:20So let's repeat the sequence of five double crochet, one double crochet increase until the end.

12:36A total of six times.

12:38Next, one, two, three, four, five.

12:53Next, we need to make a double crochet increase.

12:56Repeat this sequence to the end of this round.

13:03One, two, three, four, five.

13:33Next, we need to make a double crochet increase.

13:49As before, make a slip stitch at the marker place.

13:56Next, we need to make a double crochet.

14:00Insert the hook into the chain space.

14:06Catching both the front half loop of the chain and its back loop.

14:13There are two strands.

14:17Yarn over and pull through all loops.

14:20Pull tight.

14:20Now we have finished round four, and there have 42 stitches in this round.

14:28Check the size again.

14:35Next is round five.

14:37Round five, we make 42 double crochets without increasing or decreasing.

14:42First, make three chain stitches and mark the third chain.

14:55Count these three chain stitches as the first double crochet of the round.

14:59Next stitch is double crochet.

15:00And then we make double crochet until the end.

15:07And then we make double crochet until the end.

15:30Make a slip stitch at the marker place.

15:41Insert the hook into the chain space.

15:43Catching both the front half loop of the chain and its back loop.

15:51Lift the hook to tighten the slip stitch.

15:54Now we have finished round five.

15:55After finishing this round, let's compare it with the chick to check the size.

16:04If your eggshell piece turns out too big, try tightening your tension or using a smaller hook size.

16:12If it's too small, loosen your tension or switch to a larger hook.

16:18Now let's make the last round, round six.

16:21We need to create this picot edging for a total of 14 repeats in this row.

16:32Begin by chaining three.

16:34One.

16:36Two.

16:37Three.

16:40Make a single crochet into the second chain from hook.

16:43Locate the first chain closest to the base.

16:52And make a half double crochet into it.

16:55Yarn over.

16:56Insert hook into the half loop of the first chain.

17:00Yarn over and pull up a loop.

17:01Now we have three loops on hook.

17:04Yarn over and draw through all three loops.

17:06After that, we need to skip the next two stitches.

17:15One.

17:16Two.

17:18Make a loose slip stitch into the third stitch.

17:24Maintain relaxed tension.

17:29Do not tighten.

17:31This completes one picot edging.

17:34You can see we skyped two stitches, made a slip stitch in the third hole.

17:40Repeat this pattern 14 times total.

17:46Three chain stitches.

19:02Repeat this sequence to the end of this round.

19:14After completing the last set of stitches, join the first stitch using a tapestry needle.

19:36Leave a tail of about 10 cm and cut the yarn.

19:45Thread the tail onto the tapestry needle, insert the needle into the first stitch, then bring

20:01it back through the top V of the half double crochet.

20:10Turn the work inside out.

20:15Leave in the remaining tail within the fabric.

20:31Don't trim any excess.
