Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your dragon egg amigurumi:

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and secure it. This will be the starting point of your egg.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring. (6 sts)
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around by working 2 sc in each st. (12 sts)
4. Round 3: Work [1 sc in the next st, 1 inc in the next st] around. (18 sts)
5. Round 4: Work [1 sc in the next 2 sts, 1 inc in the next st] around. (24 sts)
6. Round 5: Work [1 sc in the next 3 sts, 1 inc in the next st] around. (30 sts)
7. Rounds 6-10: Work 1 sc in each stitch around. (30 sts)
8. Round 11: Work [1 sc in the next 3 sts, 1 decrease (dec) over the next 2 sts] around. (24 sts)
9. Round 12: Work [1 sc in the next 2 sts, 1 dec over the next 2 sts] around. (18 sts)
10. Round 13: Work [1 sc in the next st, 1 dec over the next 2 sts] around. (12 sts)
11. Round 14: Decrease over each 2 sts around until you have 6 sts left. (6 sts)
12. Finish the Egg: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Before closing, stuff the egg firmly with fiberfill to give it a nice shape.
13. Create the Scales: Using the gold yarn, attach it with a slip stitch to the middle of the egg. Chain 3, skip 1 st, and slip stitch in the next st. Repeat this around the egg to create a scalloped edge.
14. Add Embellishments: With deep purple yarn, embroider swirls and dots randomly on the egg surface to mimic dragon scales. This adds a mystical touch to your creation.
