Here, you will grab the back loop only of one stitch of the finished bottom part of the egg and the back loop of the top part of the shell which is the one you are currently working with.
• 8blsc crocheting together the top shell with the bottom.
NOTE: pay attention here that the back loop of the stitch from the bottom part of the shell is facing you (making it look like is the “front loop“. But is just because of the position of the shell. The back loop should be facing inside the shell.
• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.
• Now, you have two options. Either add little buttons to be the opening and closing of the egg or, like I did, crochet the buttons by doing 7sc inside a magic ring, and joining with an sl.
• Sew the buttons on round 9 of the bottom of the shell leaving 6 stitches between them.
• Attach two pieces of yarn to close the shell in round 16 of the top shell.
LAMB ASSEMBLY
- Embroider the eyes in round 9 of the lam leaving 3 stitches between them.
- Sew the ears 3 rounds above the eye.
- Sew the little paws in round 7 of the body, leaving 8 stitches between them.
