Another sunflower egg, as a peace support sign.
This egg is 20 cm(8”) high up to the “neck”, and the crab shell width is 20 cm (8”) as well.
The crab is the exact same as the original FroggyBug crab.
This allows you to decide until the last step if it’s going to be stuffed and closed or hide an egg shell. The egg is knitted with same wool as the claws, but with thicker needles.
As most of FroggyBug family members, this one requires circular needles, double pointed needles, a crochet for the eyes, tapestry needle, I-cord (aka French knitting) , a bit of stuffing for the claws, and a lot of patience!

Warning: I would need 10 to 20 hours to make this creature. If you are a total beginner or in a rush to make a soft toy, maybe save my pattern for later!

Happy crafting!
