Hello there, it's Anna here, welcome to Little Crochet Farm. Today we'll share here the pattern
0:07
for the last crocheted ornament. I used 100% cotton yarn again and 1.75 mm crochet hook
0:16
like from the previous patterns. If you don't know, I shared here the mini elf, and this is
0:23

Alright, we start here with the magic ring and you will crochet 6 single crochet inside
0:53
the magic ring. We are working here now into the chubby body
1:00
If you like this type of patterns, there is a couple of chubby animals in this YouTube channel
1:07
Alright, so we make 6 single crochet inside the magic ring. There is a link in the description below with a complete tutorial showing you how to make
1:19
the magic ring if you don't know how to make it yet, if this video is fast for you, but
1:25
pretty much here you can see it. Now let's pull this tail and close the ring and start working in the second round
1:38
Alright so for the second round you will work 6 increases and you should have a total of
1:42
12 stitches at the end of the round. Here when I say increase means that you will crochet 2 single crochets inside the same
1:53
stitch alright here two single crochets very tight all right got it
2:13
Okay, moving on. Two single crochet and two single crochet, so all around this round
2:26
The complete written pattern is in the description below also. So check the links in the description can be very useful to you and if you don't want
2:34
to follow the video tutorial there is a written pattern there. I will just secure the beginning of the yarn. I like to do that in the first round. I secure
2:46
around the first round and moving on for our third round of this chubby reindeer. Okay? So here for
2:55
the third round you will crochet one single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should have
3:02
total of 18 stitches at the end of this round so one single crochet one increase
3:08
okay repeat all around it'll catch you up here all right moving on so here for
3:18
the next round round number four it will work two single crochet one increases so
3:25
here one single crochet two single crochet and then one increase which means
3:32
you will crochet two single crochet inside the same stitch okay one two and
3:39
this is the crease all right this is how it should be looking like by the end of
3:45
this round moving forward great so now for the round number five you will work
3:53
three single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of
3:58
30 stitches at the end of this round. So work all of your repetitions here, this
4:07
is my increase, great, so catch you up at the end of the round
4:17
All right, so for round number six you will work four single crochet, one increase
4:22
repeat six times and you should have a total of 36 stitches at the end of this
4:27
round. Alright, so here again work your repetitions. One, two, three, four, and now
4:46
my increase. One and two. Alright, so work all the way around and I'll catch you up
5:00
Great, this is how it should be looking like. Now moving on for round number seven
5:06
Here you will work five single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you
5:12
should have a total of 42 stitches at the end of this round
5:29
Alright, this is looking great. We will have just one more round with increases
5:35
Super good. So this is the first repetition. Work all the way around and I will catch you up
5:42
Great So now we go for round number eight and this is our last round with increases Okay so here you will work 6 single crochet 1 increase repeat 6 times and you should have
5:58
a total of 48 stitches at the end of the round. I suggest you to always count how many stitches
6:05
you have at the end of the round so you make sure that you have the total, the right amount
6:12
of stitches so you don't need to erase a lot in case you have the wrong number. So always
6:19
count. Okay, my increase here. Super good. And now this is the beginning of our chubby
6:31
reindeer we will go now give some height here for our ball okay so for round
6:41
number 9 to 16 you will work 48 single crochet so here just single crochet here
6:50
is the time that you relax just work your rounds with 48 single crochet and I
6:54
will catch you up here at the end of round 16 so we start decreasing
7:01
All right, so this is how it should be looking like you see
7:05
So this one is the last round with increases. You can see this is the increase these two
7:11
Stitches here. So one two three four five six seven eight rounds only with 48 single crochet
7:23
Great now let's move on For round number 17 where we'll start decreasing
7:29
So here you work six single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times, and you should have a total of 42 stitches at the end of this round
7:42
For the decrease here, I use the invisible decrease, which is basically when you take just the front loop of the stitch
7:51
I will show you here just how you make. Front loop for one stitch, front loop for the stitch next to it
8:00
Alright, you have three loops on your needle and you make your decrease
8:05
There is a link with the tutorial showing how to make this decrease in case you need
8:12
a video a little bit slower, alright? Now let's move on here for round number 18
8:20
you will work 5 single crochet, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times, and you should have a total of 36 stitches at the end of this round
8:32
Again, always remember to count how many stitches you have, so you make sure that you are on the right track
8:43
Ok, so I arrive here in my first decrease. Very good. that's it. So let's repeat all the way around and I will catch you up at the end
8:55
Alright, let's move on here for round number 19. Here you will work four single
9:04
crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and you should have a total of 30
9:08
stitches at the end of this round. One, two, three and four. Now my first degree is here
9:22
Okay, this is looking great. Now let's continue
9:33
all right so we arrive here at round number 20 here you will work 3 single
9:42
crochet 1 decrease repeat 6 times and you should have a total of 24 stitches at
9:48
the end of the round Alright, here my first decrease. Great
10:10
Now let's move on. You can see some shape, some round shape here, very nice
10:17
Now for the round 21, you will work 2 sc, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times and you should have
10:23
a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round
10:45
Okay, very nice! I will continue here and I will catch you up at the end. Super good
10:51
We will first stop here a little bit just to add some stuffing material
11:05
And continue working for our final round. Great! So here you can see the shape
11:13
I like to add a very good amount of stuffing material so my ornament is really tight and stiff
11:21
for round 22 you will work one single crochet one decrease repeat six times and
11:26
you should have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round and it is when we will start closing this crochet alright so repeat here all the way around and I catch you up for closing this Great
11:40
So let's cut this yarn. And now let's put this in the sewing needle. Great
11:53
Here you'll grab only the front loop of the stitch. Okay, here you can see front loop, front loop, okay, front loop
12:09
Alright, so you grab all the front loop of the stitches here in this round
12:21
And once you're done, you pull tight and you close this. Great, that's super nice
12:35
Now I will just secure this yarn here and prepare for fastening off
12:44
There is a tutorial also just dedicated to show you how I close all my crochet toys
12:51
okay but here also you can pretty much see but if you're curious take a look in the description
12:55
below there is some useful links to you there all right so this part it's done
13:05
now let's moving on for our next detail here we'll start working in the horns so with the
13:11
dark brown yarn you start with a magic ring but for this time you will work
13:17
five single crochet inside the magic ring, alright? And here for the horns we
13:26
will not do any increases or decreases, you will work five single crochet all
13:30
around. So I will go slow here so you can see how I am holding the detail, how I'm
13:38
working with this very small detail so you can pay attention in the position
13:42
how I'm holding it so it's easier to work with. Okay, so here we have our five single crochet
13:51
I will close this magic ring and we will work for the next rounds here for the round number two to
14:00
nine just five single crochet. But I will crochet this first stitch here, this first single crochet
14:08
just to close this circle and stop so I can secure this beginning of my yarn because this
14:15
detail is very small so as later you do that the more complicated it gets. So I prefer doing
14:24
making this at the beginning so here we'll just stop in the beginning of the second row
14:30
you saw I made just one stitch, I will secure this yarn and I will leave the camera recording here
14:39
so you can see it pretty clear how I am crocheting this little detail, all right
15:29
and you can see that it's curling to the outside so you can see the wrong side facing out
15:39
So you just organize these stitches and you can see how different it is now. So if you have a very
15:47
tight tension like I have, your stitches will curl to the outside. So just stop and make sure
15:55
to organize so it's easier for you to see better the stitches and know that everything is going
16:02
how it should. All right? So here now you will just continue working in continuous rounds here
16:08
until you have nine rounds. Okay? Very simple. Just work slow. Make sure you're not losing any
16:18
stitches because it's very small and maybe it's more tough to see the
16:24
stitches here. Okay I will catch you up once I finish all the rounds here
16:36
Super good! And this is how it should be looking like your first horn and what
16:42
you're gonna do here is I will cut this tail because we already secured this
16:46
yarn at the beginning of the detail and I will cut this yarn leaving a little bit
16:54
of tail for sewing later, alright? So this is the first one. What you're gonna do
17:01
here now is to make another one following the same instructions and two
17:06
more but instead of going until round six, round nine, you will go until round six
17:11
So this one should be a little bit smaller. Okay? Because what we are going to do here with these four details is we will sew it I will show you just now So you take the big one and the small one You gonna sew it the small one in the central part
17:30
of the big one, making like this. So here I will leave it showing to you how I sew
17:36
my details and you can see it here like find find what is the best way for you
17:48
where is you think it's more suitable where it looks symmetrical to you the
17:53
exact position I wrote in the written pattern you can find it in the
17:57
description below. Okay? So here, I'll put it here and I will leave it recording
18:09
here so you see how I saw this detail. But basically you take one stitch from the
18:14
bigger horn and one stitch from the small one that you were sewing on it. Okay
18:27
Thank you
18:57
Thank you
19:27
Okay, great, this is super good
19:42
I will cut this yarn fast enough, do the same with the next and let's move on now for the paws
19:51
Okay, here one more time we'll start with the magic ring. going to crochet six single crochet inside the magic ring okay I will move
20:01
this a little bit faster because we've been crocheting magic rings and single
20:07
crochet inside a couple of times by now in this pattern and for the second round
20:18
here you will work with increases so six increases okay at the end you should
20:24
have 12 single crochet so just reminding you when you crochet the increases means
20:32
two single crochet inside the stitch I will work a little bit faster here and I will secure the beginning of my yarn
20:54
Okay, that's great. And now for the next round, round number three, you will work with the back post single crochet
21:10
So here you will work 12 back post single crochet. If you've never done this stitch before, there is a complete tutorial in the links in the
21:21
description below. But basically you insert the needle from inside out and in again, and you crochet the single
21:30
crochet between the posts of the stitches. And this is how it should be looking like once you complete all the 12 of them
21:39
Now for round number four you will work just 12 single crochet. Okay
21:46
Very simple and easy. And I will catch up here at the end of round 4 because it's when we will work a color change
21:58
Great, so here I'm on my last stitch of round number 4 and we will change for the light
22:08
brown color. Okay? And then for round 5 to 7, you will work 12 single crochet
22:33
If you don't know how to make a color change, or if it's a bit complicated to you, take
22:38
a look at the links in the description below. I made a video showing you the four most used
22:44
ways to change colors in Amigurumi. Alright, this is how it should be looking like. Now
22:51
let's cut this yarn and leave a tail for sewing. That's great and you should make three more
23:05
So 4 in total
