The shape of athe detail will depend on the tention of

the fishing line. At the end of each round, tighten the
fishing line a little so that you get the shape of an egg
and not a flat circle.

After you finish the top and the bottom of the egg, cut the
fishing line, leave a short end.
Gently burn the end of the fishing line and quickly press
it to the crocheting. Melted fishing line will stick to the
yarn. Crochet few more sc to close the line and complete
with a slst, cut the yarn, leave a tail for sewing. Sew the
top and the bottom of an egg.
