this is looking very nice to me so let's move on for the round number 33 so here
1:39
will work 18 single crochet okay super easy awesome look at him you can see him now we'll stop here to add a little bit of
1:58
stuffing material before we continue to the next round I like to add a lot
2:05
because I like my toys very firm. So for round here number 34 you will work one
2:12
single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and you should have 12 stitches at
2:18
the end. We're almost done here
2:31
Decrease That's great, repeat all the way around and I will catch you up for the last round
2:43
This is great. Now, let's move on for the last round, round number 35 and you will work 12 sc here
2:57
Okay, so let me fast work this 12 single crochet here so we can finish off and continue this
3:09
beautiful happy Grinch. Alright, so let's cut this yarn, pull this tail through and add on the sewing needle
3:23
So here to fasten off, what I do is I grab only the front loop of the stitches. Okay
3:30
Front loop here, front loop here, front loop all around. Great
3:42
And then once you're done, you pull it tight. But just let me adjust here, put everything inside
3:50
Pull it tight. Great, very nice. And now I insert the needle in the first stitches, just to make sure it's very nice and secure
4:03
There is a full tutorial on how I close my crochet toys in the link in the description
4:08
If you want, you can check that out. Great here what I did is I add a little bit of leftovers here and then I pull I open the yarn I unfortunately forgot to shoot that Okay so let give some face to this
4:27
Grinch. I use pins to find the best position for the eyes, but the exact position that I am
4:39
embroidering these eyes, it's in the link in the description below. Okay, so in the case that you're
4:45
using safety eyes, you can check there which round and how many stitches apart I do that
4:54
But here we'll show you how I embroider the eyes. I like better to embroider than to use the safety
5:01
eyes. Okay, so here how I do is I make a lot of straight lines
5:08
catching the size of one stitch. Okay, so this is what I do
5:28
Now I move on for the second eye. good as many straight lines you make more round it will be just go slow and
5:47
nice to shape up the eyes so I will do the other one and I will come back here
5:54
with you okay so now with this leftover yarn I will use to make the mouth of
6:03
this Grinch. I want to make this Grinch very happy. Here you can embroider any
6:12
mouth that you want. This is the expression you will give it to him. I want
6:17
to make him very sympathetic. Okay, also the position of the mouth, the exact
6:26
position, how many rounds I'm taking is in the description below in the written
6:31
pattern. So if you want to know exactly which number, which round number I am working, you can
6:38
find it there. Alright, this is looking very nice
7:09
Really goes low in the embroidering. I think this is very important
7:15
I'm just securing this smile so it doesn't move around. This is looking very nice
7:35
Okay, so here what I'm going to do is I cut a piece of yellow yarn and I'll make a line
7:41
around here, this part of the eyes, okay? Because the Grinch have this yellow big eyes
7:48
So I want to make this little detail on him. So there is a small knot in the beginning
7:58
Okay, so this is just what I want. It's very simple what you do here
8:07
all right this is great this is super great and on the other side
8:26
super good once you done just remember to secure this yarn okay I will show you here first how i do how i secure my yarn i make a knot at the edge of this piece of yarn
9:09
Alright, and then I cut this tail and now with the help of sewing needle I pull this
9:25
inside of the head. And that's it. Great, look at him, so happy
9:33
Alright, now I will embroider the eyebrows. on the eyebrows again is the same with the mouth you can give some expression on him so you can make
9:46
like a v-shape or you can make like I will make some straight lines because I want to make him
9:52
very much friendly and then with the same yarn I will make the nose here's super good this eyebrow
10:08
is looking very nice to me. Oh, look at him. You see, it goes changing his face
10:17
All the positions I'm embroidering this is in the written pattern below
10:22
but you can go with where you feel like, where it's more symmetrical to you
10:32
Super cute. I will do a fast nose here again I will just do a couple of straight lines all
10:53
right this looking very nice and once you're done again just make sure to
11:01
to secure the yarn all right aha look at this well if you want to stop here you
11:11
can but I think is missing some Christmas detail on him so now I grab my white
11:16
yarn and I will start here with a slip knot and chain four. Okay, so here you
11:33
skip the first chain and you start working single crochet inside of the
11:42
chain. So for the round, for the rows 1 and 2 you will crochet 3 single crochet
11:48
So you arrive here at the end, chain 1, turn and work 3 single crochet
12:12
Here we will stop to make a color change and we will work with the red color
12:22
Chain one, turn and make three single crochet here for the round three and four
12:34
it's very annoying when it's small let me start again okay so here one I will
12:58
crochet above this no no not two three chain one turn and you work again three single crochet here on the
13:30
last stitch you will make again a color change so you'll change to white back to the white and
13:39
this is how we're gonna do so further you're going to repeat for the row the row one two four
13:46
fourteen times that's just it you work two rounds in one color and two rounds on the other color
13:52
okay so I will work all those rounds and I will catch you up here once the length
14:00
of my scarf it's done alright so here we have this is the wrong side and this is
14:11
the right side I will fasten off this very fast see this is the right side and
14:19
And here's the color changes here on the wrong side. Okay, so yes, later we're going to wrap around his neck
14:31
Okay, so I'll fasten off this and I will leave a tail for sewing
14:36
And I come back here. Okay, so all the tails are properly fastened off and hidden
14:49
Now what we're going to do is to wrap around his neck
15:00
Very nice. Just make sure that the wrong side is facing him, so we cannot see the color changes
15:08
So you just make sure to find the best way to wrap him up
15:17
You can put it up. You can leave it down. I'm gonna leave it down
15:22
So I'm gonna wrap him like this. Yeah, this side is better. Great
15:36
very nice so here I will take pins to help me out a little bit so pins here on
15:43
this side and on this other side just to make sure that it's nice and well
15:50
positioned great this looks super good alright so here I'll just secure a
15:59
little bit with this leftover yarn. You don't need to sew it very firm, okay? Just
16:07
make a nice stitch here, grabbing the red part, no need to be too many of them. Just
16:19
make it here in the beginning, it's a bit stiff, okay? So I will make one stitch here
16:28
and one stitch on the back side. Okay, let's remove this pin. Okay, I'll make on
16:44
the other side and I will come back here once I'm done with this
16:51
Okay, that's it! This is looking very nice. I really hope you enjoy this pattern. If you
