A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet egg pattern: a Leggy Fried Egg amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A flat white egg sits up with a puffy golden yellow yolk for a face, one raised eyebrow and a wobbly mouth for a puzzled look, and two long skinny legs ending in red boots. You need about 85 m of yarn: 55 m white, 15 m golden yellow, 10 m red and 5 m coral. Plan on roughly 3 hours. Put it on a kitchen shelf or give it to someone who needs a breakfast laugh. The 3D model shows how the legs sit, and the round-by-round pattern takes you through every piece.

How to crochet the Leggy Fried Egg

Beginner-friendly · 11 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 6 pieces in rounds: Egg white, Yolk, Leg with boot ×2, Cheek ×2 (71 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 4 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 12.7 × 9.9 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 28 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the back of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 4 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With white: ch 9.
  3. → This piece is not stuffed.
  4. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 18 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 2.8 cm long; 12 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Stuff moderately just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 2.4 cm at the widest, 9.8 cm long; 29 rounds.
  2. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 10 mm (on the yolk): in round 4, 7 st apart (count along round 4: about 3.7 st each side of the centre top line).
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the yolk), straight stitches through: (in round 5, 2 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 6, 3.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 6, 4.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the yolk), straight stitches through: (between rounds 4 and 5, 2 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 5 and 6, 4 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the yolk), straight stitches through: (between rounds 3 and 4, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 4, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 4, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Satin stitch (on the yolk): in white thread, a oval about 8 mm wide and 3.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 35° anticlockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 7, 7 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right .
