Magic Ring:
- Create a magic ring to start. This ring is a great way to start crochet projects that will be closed tightly without a hole in the center.
- How to do a Magic Ring:
  - Make a loop with your yarn and hold the working yarn under the loop.
  - Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull the loop through.
  - Continue your single crochet stitches into the loop (see Round 1).
Round 1:
- Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
- Pull the yarn tail tightly to close the ring.
- Stitch count: 6 stitches.

Round 2:
- Work 2 sc into each stitch around. This is an increase round.
- Stitch count: 12 stitches.
- Tip: Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round to keep track of where each round starts.
Round 3:
- Work 1 sc, then inc (2 sc in the same stitch). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 18 stitches.
- (Repeat (1 sc, inc) until you finish the round.)
Round 4:
- Work 2 sc, then inc (2 sc in the same stitch). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 24 stitches.
- (Repeat (2 sc, inc) until you finish the round.)
Round 5:
- Work 3 sc, then inc (2 sc in the same stitch). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 30 stitches.
- (Repeat (3 sc, inc) until you finish the round.)
Round 6:
- Work 4 sc, then inc (2 sc in the same stitch). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 36 stitches.
- (Repeat (4 sc, inc) until you finish the round.)

Rounds 7–12:
- Work 1 sc in each stitch around. This is a plain round with no increases or decreases.
- Stitch count: Remains 36 stitches.
- Work 6 rounds like this to form the height of the egg.
- Tip: If you’d like a taller egg, continue working more rounds. For a shorter egg, reduce the number of rounds here.

Now, we’ll start to taper the egg into its top shape by decreasing the number of stitches in each round.

Round 13:
- Work 4 sc, then dec (sc two stitches together). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 30 stitches.
- (Repeat (4 sc, dec) until you finish the round.)
Round 14:
- Work 3 sc, then dec (sc two stitches together). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 24 stitches.
- (Repeat (3 sc, dec) until you finish the round.)
Round 15:
- Work 2 sc, then dec (sc two stitches together). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 18 stitches.
- (Repeat (2 sc, dec) until you finish the round.)
Round 16:
- Work 1 sc, then dec (sc two stitches together). Repeat this pattern all around the round.
- Stitch count: 12 stitches.
- (Repeat (1 sc, dec) until you finish the round.)
Round 17:
- Work dec (sc two stitches together) in each stitch around.
- Stitch count: 6 stitches.
- At this point, the top of the egg should start to close in. We’ll finish it off in the next step.

Stuff the Egg:
- Use fiberfill to stuff the egg. Make sure the egg is evenly stuffed to maintain its shape, but not overfilled.
- Tip: Use a crochet hook or pencil to help push the fiberfill into all the corners.
Close the Top:
- Using the yarn tail, weave through the last 6 remaining stitches.
- Pull the yarn tightly to close the hole at the top.
- Tip: Tie a knot and weave in the ends securely so they don’t come undone.
Secure and Weave in Ends: Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail. Use a yarn needle to weave in the remaining yarn tail, hiding it inside the egg.

Smaller Egg: Stop increasing after Round 3 (18 stitches) and reduce the height to 3–4 rounds.
Larger Egg: Add an additional increase round (e.g., (5 sc, inc) for 42 stitches), and extend the body height by 2–3 rounds.
