– Pattern : Egg cozy

Hat
Start off with a MR
R1: 5sc into the ring (5)
R2: inc x 5 (10)
R3: (sc, inc) x5 (15)
R4: (2sc, inc) x5 (20)
R5: (sc, inc, 2sc) x5 (25)
R6: (inc, 4sc) x5 (30)
R7-12 (6rnds): 30 sc (30)

Border
(opinional) Make a border using crab stitches/reverse single crochet (link to video showing the technique if you’re not familiar with crab stitch/reverse single crochet) or just a ‘wavy’ border (2ch+1sc in every st all the way around)

Ears (make 2)
Make a Magic ring/loop (or ch4 and put together to a ring with a sl st)
R1: 6 sc into the ring (6)
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3-5 (3rnds): 12 sc (12)
R6: (dec, 4sc) x2 (10)
R7-11 (5rnds): 10 sc (10)

Flatten ear, crochet or sew together end. Leave a tail for attaching ear to hat later. Fold ear again before attaching to hat. Use a black pen to draw a “face” on your boiled egg (make sure it’s dry)
