Hello there, it's Anna here and welcome to Little Crochet Farm. Today I will show you how to make
0:07
Romeo. This is my version of this beautiful Romeo. If you follow me here you already saw the Juliet
0:14
that I uploaded last week. I use for this pattern cotton yarn and 2 mm crochet hook
0:22
All the information you may need for this pattern you have in the written in the description below
0:27
the written pattern will take you to my website and there you have all the
0:33
information that you may need. So I will start it here today showing you how to
0:38
make this beautiful little toy we will crochet from the legs to the head and I
0:45
hope you learned something new today. Alright? So let's start! Great, for this pattern we'll start with the magic ring here and we are crocheting now
1:04
the arms. We will crochet the arms and we'll settle on the side and we will crochet together later
1:11
on because this pattern we will not sew the pieces, okay? So here you'll work 6 single crochet in the magic ring
1:22
If you don't know how to make the magic ring, there is a link in the description of this
1:26
video that will take you to a complete YouTube tutorial showing you how it's done
1:33
But here I work very slow and I try to show you in more details that I can
1:40
Alright, so here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. you close the magic ring and you will start here for round number two, okay
1:52
So for round number two you will work six single crochet again, okay? So here I will
2:01
just work here. 1 single crochet, 2 single crochet, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Our last one here
2:23
Okay, and you see the stitches are curling to the outside of the arms
2:30
This is not what we want. But first I will just secure the beginning of my yarn here
2:36
I like to do this every time I'm starting a crochet toy, just to make it double secure
2:43
that this magic ring will remain very closed and tight. Alright, I do this all the time, you will see
2:51
Alright, so now let's organize these stitches because it's curling to the outside
2:56
The stitches are very small and the tension is very tight. That's why it happens and the detail is very little, right
3:04
So you see here now we have a little hand. Okay? Good
3:10
Now that we organize these stitches we will move on for the next round
3:14
And here for the next round I will start the first stitch and then I will change the color
3:19
of the yarn from my light blue, okay, to my light blue
3:27
Here, if you don't know how to make the color changes, here I'm doing the most basic way to change colors
3:33
There is a link in the description below that there is a complete YouTube tutorial showing you the four most used ways to change colors in crochet toys
3:44
I advise you to check that out. But here I'm just doing the simplest way, okay
3:50
And here for round 3 to 6 you will crochet just single crochet
3:54
So you'll continue working 6 single crochets per round. And I crocheting here above the tails of the yarn that I working so I can just cut it the thread at the end But you can just make a simple knot because it will be inside of the toy Alright once you finish round number six this is how it should be looking like
4:17
I will hide this yarn here inside of the arm. You don't need to add stuffing material in the arm
4:24
because it's very little and we will make one more color change here to your contrast color
4:30
in my case I'm using I'm working with the dark blue okay so now for round number seven you will
4:37
work one half double crochet and one half double crochet increase okay first you chain one all
4:45
right turn your working side to the opposite direction you were working before and you start
4:53
working only in the back loop here of the stitch, all right? so you work only in the back loop
5:03
so i made one half double crochet and now i will increase one so i'll work two half double crochet
5:11
inside this stitch okay and you will repeat this three times one half double crochet one
5:17
increase half double crochet all the way until the end and only working in the back loop of the
5:27
yarn. Remember to turn your work, okay? So now here I'll just make a simple knot to secure this thread
5:35
here. Oops, I almost lost my stitch. So let me cut this and we'll make here just a simple knot
5:47
to secure this tail before we continue. We have just one more round, one more row to go
5:56
All right, this is a very nice detail. That's why you turn your work
6:01
you're working clockwise and then you change your working direction so these stitches will be facing
6:07
outside okay super good now what's gonna happen here is you see these stitches this here are let
6:21
me show you here better is the front loop the remaining front loop that you haven't worked on
6:26
it this is one this is two another one here another one here four one here one here six
6:33
right? so we'll work on those stitches now. so you have six stitches from the main arm and you will
6:40
work three stitches here taking one stitch from one side and one from another and this will close
6:47
the arm, okay? so here is one stitch, here is another one, the second stitch
6:55
just the remaining front loop, okay? and the third stitch is this one here in the corner
7:06
you see? this one here. good. and that's it. now your arm is done. look at this. I like it very much
7:17
this detail. it looks super cute. I'm gonna cut this yarn and we will complete fasten off
7:23
Here you don't need to leave a tail for sewing it because we will not sew this detail, okay
7:31
We will crochet together with the body later on. So here I'll just show it to you how you hide
7:38
this remaining tail. It's a very simple way. All right, let me just organize these stitches. One
7:52
one, two, three. You see you will work in these three stitches later on. But we will
7:59
get there soon. Okay, now you can cut this yarn and you make another one following the
8:09
same instructions Okay So this is one arm and this is the second arm Super good We leave this on the side for now and now we start working the legs okay So here you start again with the magic ring and you will work six single crochet
8:31
inside the magic ring. So one more time, we'll go through this magic ring and the six single crochet
8:39
okay? So once again, if you need extra help, there is links in the description of this video that
8:45
take you to complete tutorials showing you the techniques that I use for
8:50
it for me completed this pattern one two three four five six okay let's close this
8:56
and if you need any help if you have any question please leave them in the
8:59
comment box below I'm learning how to shoot better video patterns for you so
9:04
it's always good to hear in which part you have some difficulties what is not
9:10
clear for you so I can be more specific for the next time okay for the second
9:15
round you'll work two single crochet one increase repeat two times and you'll have
9:19
eight stitches at the end of this round okay so for the leg we will work with
9:25
eight single crochet one here and one increase here when I say one increase it
9:34
means that you will crochet two single crochet on the same stitch okay in the
9:41
same stitch. Alright, so here again I will double secure this beginning of the
9:46
yarn. You already know how I work with this. So you're just inserting the sewing
9:53
needle and double secure the beginning of the thread. Okay, so we have here the
10:00
starting of our little leg and we'll work again here with the color change
10:07
all right so in the first stitch here I'm making another color change and I
10:14
will work with the brown this will be the beginning of the pants of our little
10:18
Romeo okay so now for round number three to seven you will work eight single
10:25
crochet right so once again I'm working here on the top of my threads but if you
10:32
want you can just make a simple knot here you don't worry to work on this way
10:37
the detail can be very little and it can be a little bit confusing and I'm I work
10:44
like this because I'm used to it there is no reason I could have done just a
10:49
simple knot okay so let me just cut this right here we don't need this anymore
10:55
and I will continue working here until the round number seven and I will catch
11:00
up with you here so we can continue super good so this is the leg once it's
11:05
finished and I will hide this here inside and for the legs you should add a little bit of stuffing
11:12
material okay for the arms we didn't need but for here now for the legs we will need a little bit
11:21
super good this is looking very nice now what's gonna happen here is you will make one leg
11:27
following the same instructions and you will finish off you cut the yarn and finish off the
11:32
leg you see completely the other one you will not finish off you will continue working with this
11:39
leg and this thread okay so here you're going to make two chains all right now you take one
11:49
stitch of the finished leg and you insert this loop of your needle inside this finished
11:57
leg inside one of the stitches, any stitches can be, it's fine. And now here you work 20 single
12:05
crochet all around the leg, which means here one single crochet from the first chain plus one single
12:13
crochet from the other chain. And now here you work the eight single crochet you have for this leg
12:22
right so it like eight from one leg eight from another leg and four from the chains and two from one side and two from the other side I will show you here Okay so you finish 8 stitches from one leg now you make 1 sc here on the other side
12:41
of the chain and another sc here on the other side of the chain. Alright? So you had 2 chains
12:48
you make 2 sc on one side, 2 sc on the other side. This is 4 sc plus 8 sc from one
12:57
leg and 8 from the other leg. Once you're done you'll have 20 single crochet, okay
13:04
Now for round number 9 you will work 4 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 4 times
13:10
and you should have a total of 24 stitches here at the end of this round, okay
13:18
So here let's work our first increase, Here is one and another one. Now you continue working here all the way around. One, two, three
13:31
four and this is the increase. Okay, work all the way around and I will catch you up for next round
13:38
Super good! So this is how it should be looking like. Now we will work just one round with 24
13:44
single crochet. I forgot to mention here that I add my stitch marker. Here for my stitch marker I
13:50
use just a different color piece of yarn because I don't like to work much with
13:56
the plastic markers. I think it stretch a bit the stitch. Okay, so now here I am on
14:05
the last stitch of the round 10. I will do a color change again with my contrast
14:11
color, the black of the black, the dark blue. And for round number 11 you will
14:18
work only in the back loop of the stitch. Again, we'll work on the back loop. Okay
14:23
So here you make back loop slip stitch all around this round and I will catch
14:30
you up once you're done here for round number 12. Okay? Super good. Here, now how
14:39
smart I am. I'm just gonna make a simple knot. I'm telling you that you can just
14:43
make a simple knot and hide inside the toy, right? Okay, so here it's super good
14:48
We don't need to crochet above any tail here. Great, so now for round number 12
14:54
you'll work back loop again but single crochet this time. So back loop single
14:59
crochet. Just grab the back loop here. Alright, this will create a very nice line
15:06
like very nice division between the legs between the pants and the shirt okay if
15:14
you don't know how what is back loop front loop of the stitch even though I
15:17
think you can see it pretty well here there is a link in the description below
15:22
okay so this is the effect that we want you see the two lines here very nice
15:26
sharp division this is what we want so for now now for round number 13 you will
15:32
work just single crochet. Okay? Just single crochet here and that will catch you up once
15:40
you're done. So we move on for round number 14. Very easy round here we have
15:49
Alright, super good. Now let's move on for the next round, round 14. You will start with the
15:54
decreases. So here you will work two single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and you
16:00
should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round. Alright? So here for crochet toys
16:06
we work with invisible decrease which is very simple here. You only grab the front loop of the
16:13
next two stitches and you make a single crochet. That's it. Alright? One and two and one decrease
16:22
here. I'll repeat all the way until the end and this is how it should be looking like. Now for
16:28
round number 15 you just work with 18 single crochet. And here let me tell you one thing
16:34
if you don't know at all, if you have never done invisible decrease, there is a link in
16:39
