Eggcited? Please welcome The Egghead Family - Shelly, Shellburn, Dippie & Eggie. These have so many different
variations, short legs, long legs or no legs. Or you could just knit it as an egg shape. Worked flat on 2 needles

11 page written pattern with photo’s for your reference.

I do allow the finished products from my patterns for charity or by hobby sellers please ensure designer details are also included.

The Eggheads measure 6.5” & 7.5” from base to top of head

Gauge isn’t important just needs to be compact so that stuffing doesn’t show through.

I used James Brett shade 8469 for the head, body can be any colour combination, and any yarn can be used.

Materials needed:
Needles UK No 10 (3.25mm) US 3 No 8 (4mm) US 6
Tapestry/Darning needle for sewing up
Toy stuffing
Gauge 7sts x 9 rows = 1”
