Break yarn and slip stitch to fasten off. Turn inside out.
NOTE:
- Number of increase rounds can be adjusted to suit size of egg by trying fitting while in progress.
- Round 19 is to allow for cosy to fit over lip of egg cup, this may need to be moved up or down
depending on egg cup
- Outside is 4 sc wider than inside to ensure that it does not cause the inside to pucker up when
they are joined together
To make-up:
Note: While sewing on parts they can be secured by a couple of knots as they will be hidden
between body parts
Sew Comb on to top of Outside of body, front to back, bending over point
Sew on top beak curving down, approx 6 rows down from comb
Sew on bottom beak curving up close to top beak
Sew two beads on for eyes
Sew legs on about one round above bottom of body making sure the toes are level
Put a little stuffing inside point of head to prevent it squashing flat
Place Inside body in the outside of body and adjust stuffing so the edges can meet when a little
pressure is applied to the inside part.
Crochet edge of outside to the edge of inside, note that the outside has 4 more sc than the inside
so you need to sc2 from outside to 1sc on the inside, 4 times evenly around the edge.
Add any embroidery once the egg cosy has been made up being careful that you do not stitch
through both layers of the body. Secure and hide the ends of the yarn by tying a knot at the end
of the yarn and pulling it through a gap in the crochet of the top layer so it is hidden between the
outside and inside layers.
