updated family picture :D

patterns/explanations under the cut!

hello hello! I thought some people would be interested in making their own lil huevitos so I put together a guide for how I made them :)

for all these, stitch count and rows might depend on what yarn you’re using and hook size! I made these using various scrap yarn that I already had, which was mostly worsted weight yarn. I used a smaller hook (size 3.5mm) to make most of the accessories but feel free to use whatever sizes work for you and the yarn that you have! some of the accessories have patterns that I used, but for others I made things up as I went along so I've tried to explain what I did as best I can :)

for all the eggs:

I used this pattern to make the base egg, I used pillow stuffing for them but you can use whatever kind of filling you’d like

for the legs, I made a short icord (start by leaving a long tail for sewing onto the egg, then I did 6 rows for mine and didn’t fasten off) and then I made the feet by doing three picots (once the legs are the length you want, take the three loops off your hook and put a stitch marker (or a safety pin/anything like that) in the first two loops, just to make sure you don’t lose them. reinsert your hook into the last loop, chain 2, and turn. then slip stitch back into the base of the icord, completing your first picot. slip the next stitch off your stitch marker and back onto the hook and slip stitch again, chain 2, and slip stitch back into the base icord. repeat for the last loop, and then fasten off & weave in)

you can sew the legs on the bottom of the eggs now, or wait until you’ve added the accessories first! I did accessories first and then the legs, but either order will work :)

Tilin: for tilin’s bow, I made a long icord and tied it into a bow (youtube tutorial I followed)

Ramon: I used this pattern for the mustache

Dapper: I used the top hat section from this pattern

Jaunaflippa: for her glasses, I crocheted three slim rectangles to make the frames (just a ch10 with one row of single crochet) and attached them together to make the glasses shape. for the lenses, I crocheted two little squares (ch4, three rows of sc) and then sewed them onto the frames. it probably won’t hold the glasses structure on its own, since the yarn won’t be very stiff, so I recommend sewing it onto the egg in three places - each arm of the glasses, and then the middle bridge in the front.

Trump: I used this pattern for the hat but I stopped after row 7. I made the magic ring while holding three colors (red, orange, and blue) and then made the first row, switching colors every 2 single crochets and carrying the others along. I added in the green when I did the first increase of row 2, and then continued the pattern, changing colors and carrying along as I went. I kind of just winged this one, and just tried to keep the sections of colors as even as I could. if you’re using thicker yarn here, you might not need as many rows, because carrying the colors along will take up more space and make the hat bigger. once it gets about as big as you want it you can fasten off with the color you left off working with, and then I finished with one row of single crochet in the black yarn. to make the propeller, i made a short icord in gray, and then sewed it to the top of the hat with black yarn.

Leo: I kind of took the shape of this cat hat design and played around with it to make the backwards hat. for round 6 of the pattern, I adjusted it by only doing the first chain section and shortening it - I think I ended up only chaining 10 so that the gap wouldn’t be too big. and then I didn’t repeat it the second time, just did a sc in each remaining stitch instead. i did one more row of sc all around, and then fastened off. reattach the yarn at the back of the hat, somewhere opposite the gap you made with the chains section, and then build up a brim for the hat with a few double crochets.

Bobby: for the overalls, I used a hook a size bigger than whichever one I used to make the base egg (in my case, I used a 4.5mm hook for the egg, so I used a 5.5mm here). then, I used the same pattern for the egg, stopping after R9. this makes the bottom part of the overalls, and now we’re going to make the bib. I just continued along here, as if starting the next row, and did 1 half double crochet, 10 double crochets, and then 1 hdc. stop here, chain 1, and turn your work. slip stitch into the hdc, and then make 10 dc, and slip stitch into the last stitch. this made a high enough bib for me, so I stopped here, but you can continue building up in this fashion if you’d like! with the yarn still attached, I fitted the overalls onto the egg, so I can make the suspenders. for this, I chained from the corner of the bib I left off on. I think mine ended up being about 15 chains, but you just want to make enough that you can reach the suspender to the back of the overalls and attach it there (I criss-crossed them in the back, but if you put the suspenders straight back, the chains will be shorter). attach the chain where you want it with a slip stitch, and then fasten off. to make the other suspender, attach your yarn at the other corner of the bib, and chain the same amount and attach at the back like the first one, and fasten off. weave in your ends, and to make the suspenders more secure, you can sew them onto the egg where you’d like them to lay (I sewed the ‘tops’ of them on, like where the shoulders would sit so they didn’t slide off). for the blue pocket at the front, I crocheted a smaller rectangle (about ch8, 2 rows of single crochet) and sewed it onto the front bib of the overalls.

Chayanne: for the floatie, I held my yarn double and used a bigger hook (5.5mm) and made an icord long enough to fit around the egg. once i made it long enough, I fastened off the end, and sewed the two ends together to complete the tube. it should still have enough stretch to let you fit it over the egg, but tight enough that it’ll stay in place on its own.

for the wings (make 2) -

chain 5, turn, sc in the second from the hook, sc in next 3 (4 sc)

ch 1, turn, do two decreases (2 sc)

ch 1, turn, decrease (1 sc)

fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing

for the tail & beak (make 2, one yellow & one orange) -

sc 4 in a magic ring

sc 4 around

fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing

for the duck head -

sc 6 in a magic ring (6 sc)

increase in each around (12 sc)

*increase in next stitch, 2 sc* repeat around (18 sc)

sc in each around (18 sc)

add a bit of filling in now, to help keep the shape (I used some yarn scraps, but anything works)

*sc, decrease* repeat around (12 sc)

decrease all around (6 sc)

fasten off and leave a long tail for closing and sewing, thread through the back loops of the last 6 sc and pull closed

to assemble together, I sewed the wings onto the floatie first, so I could place them evenly next to each other on either side. then I could easily find the middle to sew the tail onto one end, and the head onto the other. you can sew the beak onto the head last, or you can do that first before attaching the head onto the body.

Tallulah: for the hat, I again started out with this sunhat pattern, but I stopped after round 5. then I made a bit of ribbing, to make it look more like a beanie. so make one round of double crochets (24 dc), and then make one round of alternating front post/back post double crochet, which will make the ribbing affect. fasten off and weave in ends.

for the hair, I used this page as a guide, and just played around with a few techniques until I found something I thought looked nice! I went the route of making a small ‘wig cap’ (a small circle I made following the same first few rows of the egg pattern) and I attached a few chains of different lengths and stitch heights to make some curls. once I was happy with the way the hair looked, I sewed it into the hat using the little ‘wig cap’ I’d made, and then fit the hat onto the egg.

Gegg: for the slime spots, I just used a few different green colors and made a few circles of various sizes, then sewed them on where I thought looked good. the stick is just another icord, about 6 rows long, and then I made the glasses the same way I wrote earlier for Juannaflippa, just adding on the two small black squares for eyes (chain 3 and about 2 rows of 2 sc)

RIcharlyson: I’ll be honest, the Richas shirt was kind of a struggle LMAO I couldn’t find a pattern that would fit the right size for the egg, so I ended up really just winging things and hoping for the best. I used this pattern as a rough guide, but the shirt it makes is way bigger than you need for the lil egg so you have to scale things down quite a bit. I unfortunately didn’t take coherent notes while doing this, so I don’t remember my numbers exactly </3

the details on the front of the shirt were then sewed on afterwards with some of the scrap green yarn

for his leg & prosthetic, I followed the same process as explained earlier when making the feet but halfway through (after row 3 of the icord) I switched from black yarn to silver and finished it out the same way I made the rest

Pomme: for the beret, I used this pattern, and then for the red and blue blush marks, I crocheted two small rectangles (basically just a chain 2 and 1 row of sc) and then sewed them on

I hope these are helpful! if you have any questions or if anything isn’t clear, just let me know and I’ll do my best to help :) happy crocheting friends!
