Introducing the “Eggy Uncle Sam” crochet pattern: a unique and patriotic military twist to your Amigurumi creations! Celebrate Independence Day in style by transforming the iconic Uncle Sam into a charming egg character. Add a touch of Americana to your decor or create a playful gift for the occasion on the 4th of July.

If you would prefer UK terminology, please get in touch and I can translate it for you.

ABOUT THE PATTERN

The pattern starts from the top of the head and works down, incorporating the arms and feet as you crochet. The hat and hair are then crocheted as one piece. There is some sewing required for attaching the eyes, jacket, bow tie and hat and a little simple embroidery for the mouth, eyebrows, stripes and stars. I’ve provided options for either safety eyes or crocheted eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Uncle Sam reaches a height of approximately 15cm. I’d love to see your completed projects; feel free to share them by tagging me on Instagram @dreamweave.creations or visiting my Facebook page, DreamWeave Creations.

SKILL LEVEL

I have assigned an intermediate skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, there is some assembly required in sewing components together. Additionally, the hair is created using loop stitch and the rim of the hat is finished with crab stitch.

MATERIALS NEEDED

DK Yarn (red, white, blue, skin colour, grey and a small amount of black or brown)
2.5mm crochet hook
10mm Safety eyes or a small amount of black yarn if crocheting the eyes
Toy stuffing
Scissors
Pins
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours.
