Good Egg Crochet Pattern

0 Comment Crochet

U.S. crochet terms:
Magic ring (MR)
Single Crochet (SC)
Increase (INC)
Invisible decrease (INVDEC)

A number in parenthesis at the end of a row is the number of stitches that row should have when completed.

This project is crocheted from the top down. It is amigurumi, so no joining or chaining at the end of each row.

Materials used:

  • 3.5mm hook
  • Worsted weight acrylic yarn
  • 9mm safety eyes
  • Black embroidery floss
  • Embroidery needle
  • Scissors
  • Fiberfill for stuffing
Optional:
  • Pink fiber and a felting needle for rosey cheeks. Alternatively you could glue on pink felt circles or use pink makeup. Whatever you are most comfortable with.
  • Tiny hats! I find them locally at Joann’s and at garage sales and thrift shops. I’ve also seen some fun results searching on etsy. At the bottom of this page I included a photo of an egg without a hat.
NOTES:

The eyes are placed between rows 7 and 8 with 2 empty spaces between the eyes. The mouth is embroidered one row below the eyes with black embroidery floss. Stuff with fiberfill as you go. I do a light stuffing, only using enough for the egg to hold it’s shape.

For the rainbow flag I started with red on row 11:

1-10 eggshell color
11- red
12- orange
13- yellow
14- green
15- blue
16- purple
17-21 eggshell color
For the trans flag I started on row 12:
1-11 eggshell color
12- baby blue
13- soft pink
14- white
15- soft pink
16- baby blue
17-21 eggshell color
For any other flags or designs, line it up so the last row of the flag is on row 16. Anything after row 16 curves under the egg.

Food

I’m collecting food and drinks here that are safe for me to consume. I’m currently on a gluten-free, corn-free, rice-free diet. Because of my corn allergy I cannot eat most dairy (it’s usually all corn-fed) so it is important I only eat grass-fed dairy. It will say “grass-fed” on the label. “Pasture raised” does NOT mean grass-fed. This includes anything made from milk, like cream cheese and yogurt. So far I have not found a corn-free cheese or cream cheese. The grass-fed cheeses all have “vegetable enzymes” made from corn.

Corn is also a hard to identify ingredient that is in almost all packaged, canned, and jarred foods. Here is a link to a list of common ingredients that are made from corn:

This is my current allergy card:

[Updated 9-16-2018] I haven’t tried many of these yet, but I plan to come back and make notes as I try them.

Safe items I have found and which store in my area I found them at:

Several stores carry Bragg

Natural Grocers

Natural Grocers

Natural Grocers. And A FAVORITE!

IM

This pesto is SO GOOD

Trader Joe’s

Haven’t seen this at many Safeways. I think my Fred Meyer carries it, and I saw it at my WinCo

These Oat Thins are soooo good

These Preserves are also at New Seasons.

5 stars, love this hummus

These buckwheat crackers are plain and a good alternative to rice cakes. I like them with nutbutter and preserves.

If you like a dry cider (not very sweet), Jefferson Dry is perfect.

This is the only toothpaste that is confirmed to be corn-free. I also have neem bark (it’s a twig from a neem tree) that I use to brush my teeth and I prefer it to anything else.

Lara Bars can be found at most grocery stores.

The only popsicles (or frozen treat) I’ve found so far. Very good!

Finally found a common potato chip without corn oil or corn ingredients!
