0:48
so you make a magic ring and you crochet six single crochet in the magic ring okay
1:00
if you don't know how to make the magic ring there is a link in the description
1:04
below here this video which will take you to a complete tutorial more slow
1:11
showing you more in detail how I make this magic ring. Alright? Here I go at
1:18
once and a little bit faster for the sake of the tutorial. So let's pull it
1:24
tight and close this magic ring and now for the second round you will make one
1:29
increase and two single crochet. One increase here in this first stitch. When I
1:37
say one increase that means you will crochet two single crochet inside the
1:43
same stitch alright and now you make one single crochet in the next stitch one
1:51
single crochet in the next stitch and then again one increase here two single
1:58
crochets inside the same stitch that's the increase one single crochet one
2:05
single crochet so here we have the beginning done all right I will show you
2:14
here I like to secure very nice my yarn my beginning of the yarn and I just hide
2:29
a little bit this tail inside just to make sure that it's secure and nice and
2:39
is not nothing will unravel or this hole for the magic ring will remain very tight okay that looks
2:49
super good now we will make the length of the yarn so for the round three to eleven you will
2:57
just crochet eight single crochet okay so here it's super fast and super easy you'll just crochet
3:05
eight single crochet all around until you complete the 11th round. I will catch you up once I'm done here
3:18
Alright, so this is the arm. Okay, and you make another one. So here you finish off and that's it
3:27
the arms and put it on the side for now. So again, now we'll start with the magic ring
3:33
Now we will start the Grinch. So here we will work from the legs to the head
3:39
So for the first round you will crochet again six single crochet inside the magic ring
3:45
Since you know how to make this already I will move forward a little bit
3:55
Great This is looking nice Now for the second round you will make six increases So that means you will crochet two single crochet inside every in each stitch of this round
4:16
So you'll have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round, okay
4:20
all right this is looking very nice I will make again I will secure this yarn again I
4:33
always do that in every beginning of my toys great what we are going to work here now is with a back
4:41
post single crochet so you will make 12 back post single crochet I like to make
4:48
my not my feet but the feet of my crochet toys like this alright if you
4:55
don't know how to make the back post single crochet and if this video is very
4:59
fast for you to see there is a link in the description below and this is how it
5:05
should be looking like once you finish the 12 stitches. Now we will work two
5:12
rounds only with 12 single crochet so for round four and five just 12 single
5:18
crochet. Okay work your rounds and come back and meet me here. This is how it
5:25
should be looking like once you finish your round. So you make another one
5:29
following this same instructions but the second leg you don't fasten off. So here
5:35
is the first leg. I'll insert my hook in any stitch of this leg and I will pull
5:41
the loop through. Alright? This is how I will connect these legs. And then you will
5:48
start crocheting together. So you'll work 12 single crochet from one leg and 12
5:55
single crochet from another leg so for round six you'll have total 24 single
6:02
crochet all right that's it just make one single crochet inside every stitch of
6:08
these two legs that's great I will show you here very fast just to remind you
6:22
that the stitch that we insert, the loop, is a stitch that you need to work. Otherwise
6:27
it will be only 11 stitches. That's not what we want. This is how it should be looking like
6:34
Very nice. I will start adding here my stitch marker. I just choose a piece of different color
6:44
yarn. And for round 7 you will work one single crochet, one increase, and you will repeat 12
6:50
times. Okay, so here you work one single crochet, one increase, repeat 12 times and
7:00
you should have 36 stitches at the end of the round. I always suggest you to
7:06
count how many stitches you have at the end of the round just to make sure you
7:11
are on the right track. Great, this is looking very nice. Now here you will work
7:19
round 8 to 10 just 36 single crochet. So for the next three rounds you'll work
7:27
only 36 single crochet. Very simple. So work your rounds here, stop the video and
7:37
I will catch you up at the end of the round. Alright this is looking good. We
7:43
can see already some little stomach here. And for round number 11, now moving
7:50
forward, we will work start working some decreases. So here you will work one
7:55
single crochet, one decrease, repeat 12 times, and you should have 24 stitches at
8:02
the end of the round So here I using the invisible decrease which means you will grab only the front loop of the stitches Ok If you don know how to make the invisible decrease there is a link in the description below
8:17
but here you can see. You see? Just the front loop of the two next stitches and you continue with a single crochet
8:23
And this is how it should be looking like once you finish all the decreases
8:30
I suggest you always count how many stitches you have. So now you will work round 12 and 13, 24 single crochet. Okay
8:41
So again here you will work two rounds only with the single crochet
8:50
all right so once your rounds are finished this is how it should be looking like and now let's
9:04
move on for round number 14 you will work two single crochet one decrease repeat six times
9:11
and you should have 18 stitches at the end of this round. Right? So two single
9:18
crochet, one decrease, you repeat all over until the end of the round and it will
9:27
catch you up at the end. Okay, this is how it should be looking like. So now for
9:34
round number 15 and 16 you'll work just 18 single crochet no increase no
9:42
decreases just single crochet all right work your rounds here stop the video and
9:48
I will catch you up at the end of this round All right, this is great
10:01
So here you add a little bit of stuffing material before you continue to the next round
10:09
So this will be a little bit more firm for you to work with. I rather like that
10:14
For the next round, we will start connecting the arms. So here for round number 17, you will start working 4 scs. Okay
10:32
And then you will work 4 scs connecting the arms. Alright? So you have 8 scs in the arms, right
10:43
So it's 4 in one side and 4 in another side. See
10:48
you will crochet like this grabbing two stitches so you will have four single
10:54
crochet here to work with alright let's crochet here together so you know what
11:01
I'm talking about so I insert my hook in the arms first and then in one stitch
11:09
from the body and I make one single crochet here. Alright, so now for the next
11:24
I grab the two stitches here from the arm, one stitch here from the body, okay
11:37
and I make the single crochet. So we have two single crochets here. So now for the
11:48
third all right and again a single crochet and the last one here one stitch from the body and you have one single crochet so four single crochet this is how it should be looking like
12:24
and now you continue following up the pattern for the seventh round that you will crochet on the other side
12:32
great so this is how it should be looking like the arms are already
12:36
there. So no sewing for this pattern which is adorable, I always like no sewing pattern
12:44
Here you'll make the round number 18, just 18 single crochet. Okay? So very simple
12:52
very easy, just 18 single crochet and I will catch you up at the end of this round
12:57
Great! So here we are, now for round number 19 you will make 18 increases. So that means you
13:14
will crochet two single crochet inside each stitch here. At the end of this round you should have 36
13:22
stitches. Always count how many stitches you have at the end of the round just to
13:29
make sure you are on the track, okay? So this is how it should be looking like
13:37
We already start the head, so for round number 20 you will work five single
13:45
crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of 42
13:50
stitches at the end of this round. Okay so here we work five single crochet
14:06
Just make sure that you're grabbing the stitches nice because the stitch from
14:12
the previous row might be very close together because there are many of them
14:20
and here it's my increase okay repeat all the way around and I will catch you up
14:31
at the end of this round all right so this is how we should be looking like now
14:38
will work a couple of rounds only with 42 single crochet. So for round 21 to 25
14:46
you will work just 42 single crochet which means you will grow here five
14:52
rounds. Okay, I will catch you up at the end of the round number 25. Great, this is
15:04
how it should be looking like. Now we will do decreases here. So for round 26 you will work
15:11
5 single crochet and then you will start working 1 single crochet, 1 decrease, you repeat 12 times
15:18
and you will have 1 single crochet left at the end of this round. You work 1 single crochet and
15:24
you should have 30 stitches here at the end of the round. Alright? Okay, so here I work my 5 single
15:34
crochet. Now I'll start with the repetition. So one single crochet, one
15:39
decrease and I will repeat this all the way and I will have one stitch here at
15:46
the end. Great! Alright! So this is how it should be looking like. This is very nice
15:53
Now for round 27 to 29 you will work just 30 single crochet. So here you will grow
16:00
three rounds only with 30 stitches 30 single crochet stop the video here work
16:09
