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.

09:41Repeat this sequence to the end of this round.

10:00One double crochet.
10:01One double crochet.
10:06Now there have 36 stitches in this round.
10:07Please count your stitches to make sure.
10:13As before, make a slip stitch at the marker.
10:14Insert the hook into the chain space.
10:15The last group.
10:16The last group.
10:17The last group.

10:19One double crochet increase.
10:22One double crochet increase.
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.
13:35Next, 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.
17:52Make a single crochet into the second chain from hook.
17:55Make a half double crochet into the first chain.

18:50Repeat this sequence to the end of this round.
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.
20:39Now your eggshell is complete.
20:46You can place the chick inside to check how it fits.
