About This Fried Egg Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a cute fried egg amigurumi composed of two parts: a flat egg white and a rounded, stuffed yolk. Both pieces start with a magic ring and are crocheted in a spiral for a smooth, seamless finish. The yolk is lightly stuffed to give a realistic, raised look before being sewn to the white.
The finished piece measures approximately 4 inches and is quick to make, perfect as a small gift or kitchen decoration. The pattern is written in US crochet terms and includes full round-by-round instructions.
Why You'll Love This Fried Egg Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a simple idea into a delightful little object that makes people smile. I enjoy how fast it is to make — you can finish one in about an hour or two and immediately see the result. The construction is straightforward but gives a polished look, especially when the yolk is stuffed just right. I also love that it uses basic stitches, so it is accessible yet satisfying to complete.
Switch Things Up
I love changing colors to give each fried egg a unique look; try pastel yolks or speckled yarn for quirky results.
You can make the egg larger or smaller by changing your yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn with a bigger hook makes a chunky friend.
I sometimes embroider a smile or tiny freckles on the yolk to turn it into a character with personality.
For a keychain, use thinner yarn, a smaller hook, and add a keyring before sewing the pieces together.
Consider making a matching set with a crocheted bacon strip or toast slice to create a breakfast collection.
If you want it to be more posable, add a small piece of wire inside the white edge to give slight shaping control.
I often sew the yolk slightly off-center for a more playful, handmade look instead of perfectly centered placement.
Add felt or small embroidered details to the white for decorative patterns or to personalize gifts with initials.
Try stuffing the yolk more or less to change the profile — a firmer stuffing makes a pronounced dome, while less stuffing keeps it flatter.
I recommend experimenting with different seam techniques; an invisible mattress stitch gives the neatest finish when attaching the yolk.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the magic ring and chaining instead can leave a hole in the center; use a proper magic ring to start tightly and close the center.
✗ Forgetting to crochet in a spiral causes visible seams and step joins; work continuously in spiral without slip stitching between rounds.
✗ Not stuffing the yolk before final sewing will make sewing difficult and may flatten the yolk; stuff the yolk gradually and secure before closing the seam.
✗ Miscounting increases during shaping leads to uneven edges on the egg white; count your stitches at the end of each round to confirm stitch totals.
