Hello there, it's Anna here and welcome to Little Crochet Farm
0:04
Today I will show you how to make this beautiful little seahorse, which is the second pattern
0:10
from the Sea Creatures series. If you haven't checked it yet, I just uploaded a jellyfish
0:15
last week. If you are more into written pattern, there is a link in the description below this
0:20
video that will take you to the straight pattern and there you can see all the detailed information
0:25
but for now I tell you that I use a 2 mm crochet hook and cotling yarn that is suitable for this
0:31
needle size. If you have any questions leave them in the comment box below, I will be happy to answer
0:36
you. Now let's jump on to the pattern! Alright, so we'll start here with the magic ring
0:54
If you don't know how to make the magic ring, there is links in the description of this
0:58
video that will take you to the complete tutorial, but here you can see pretty much how it's done
1:05
And for the first round you will crochet 6 sc inside the magic ring
1:11
For all the stitches, all the techniques I use for this pattern, there is a full tutorial
1:17
dedicated to whatever stitch or pattern. Ok, so here I pull it tight, so I close this magic ring and we start the second round
1:29
Here you will make 6 increases. inside of each stitch you will make two single crochet all right that means that
1:39
you are increasing one stitch in inside of every stitch okay and at the end of
1:49
this round you should have 12 stitches I will go slow in this beginning
2:02
Okay, super good
2:20
And now I always secure the beginning of my yarn just to make sure that the first round
2:28
is very close and tight and that it will not be easy to unravel or some holes see-through
2:35
holes okay. All right, this is super good
2:49
I will add here my stitch marker. In my case I used just a piece of a different color yarn
3:00
And we'll move on for the third round. So here you will crochet one single crochet and one increase
3:06
Okay, so one single crochet inside the first stitch and two single crochets inside the
3:14
stitch next to it. Okay? repeated this all the way around and I will catch you up here, alright? Good. So
3:24
this is how it's supposed to be looking like and we'll move on for the fourth
3:30
round. So here you will crochet two single crochet, one increase, repeat six
3:36
times and you should have a total of 24 stitches at the end of this round. So one
3:42
single crochet here, another one on the next stitch, and on the next one, one
3:48
increase. Okay, so you repeat this all the way around, that it's six repetitions
3:56
and I will catch you up at the end. So this is how it should be looking like
4:05
and we'll move on for the next round. Here we will continue increasing
4:11
so for this round you'll make 3 sc, 1 increase. 1, 2, and 3, and 1 increase
4:24
And then you repeat this all the way to the end. 3 sc, 1 increase, 3 sc, 1 increase
4:32
and that will catch you up at the end. Great! Now let's continue
4:41
For the round number 6 you will make 4 single crochet and 1 increase You repeat 6 times and you should have 36 stitches at the end of this round I always suggest you to count how many stitches you have
4:56
at the end of each round, just to make sure that you are on track and if you have some
5:02
mistakes and you need to unravel, you don't need to unravel too much because you discover your
5:06
mistake early. Alright so here we have the stitches and the increase. Great! So this
5:17
is how we should be looking. And we will move on for round number seven. Here you
5:24
will work five single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should
5:29
have a total of 42 stitches at the end. So again the same thing, make your single
5:35
crochets, make your increase and the repetitions all the way until the end of
5:41
the round. That's super good, we can see some shape here, very nice. I always add
5:49
my stitch marker on the last stitch of the round and here from row from round 8
5:56
to 14 you will work just single crochet. So you make 42 single crochets and you
6:02
count until you have the round number 14 done. You can stop your video here and I
6:09
will catch you up at the end of round 14, which is here. Great! So we have here the
6:17
shape of the head of our seahorse and I will start the decreases. We can start
6:23
making the body, alright? So for round number 15 you will crochet five
6:29
single crochet, one decrease and you repeat that for six times you should
6:33
have a total of 36 stitches at the end of this round. For amigurumi I always use
6:41
the invisible decrease, I will show you how it's done and if you need further
6:46
assistance in that, take a look in the links in the description below. But here
6:51
you can see, you just grab the front loop of the two stitches and you single
6:57
crochet and now you have one decrease here. This is the decrease. Alright, repeat
7:03
all the way around and I will catch you up for the next round. This is super good
7:11
Now for round number 16 you will make four single crochet, one decrease, repeat
7:16
six times and you should have a total of 30 stitches at the end of this round
7:21
okay so here the same thing make your single crochets and then you make one
7:28
decrease invisible decrease yes all right super good repeat this all the way around one two three four one
7:45
decrease. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 decrease. Great and moving on for round number 17, here you
7:55
will make 3 single crochet, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times and you should have a
8:00
total of 24 stitches at the end of this round. Great! So here we have one, two, three and the decrease, okay? Good! So now moving on
8:25
you will work here for round number 18, two single crochet, one decrease and you should
8:31
have a total of 18 stages after you're repeating six times. Okay, super good
8:49
So this is the head of our seahorse. And now for round number 19 you will work a thin back loop slip stitch
9:04
So you will grab only the back loop of the stitch and you work a slip stitch here
9:12
Just make sure for you not to make the slip stitch very tight because the slip stitch
9:18
is very easy for us to not to measure the good size for it
9:24
And they will catch you up at the end. So you see this line here, this is what we are searching for
9:31
I will stop here real fast just to start adding stuffing material
9:42
And we will move on for the next round. This is looking very nice
9:49
Okay, do you see this remaining stitch? Like you have here the slip stitch you just work on it
10:00
And this is the remaining front loop of the round, the previous round
10:06
Okay, you will work on this line, on this remaining front loop
10:13
So you will work on the front loop, two single crochet, one increase and you repeat six times
10:19
you should have a total of 24 stitches here. I choose to work in this remaining front loop to make the neck and the neck very marked
10:31
from body to head. I don't know if you can understand me pretty well, but this will give a nice cut between
10:38
the head and the body. And this slip stitch round, the round number 19, will be facing inside of the toy
10:47
You will see this much better when once we are finished with this round
10:52
So continue here and I will catch you up at the end
10:59
Alright so you see this is very nice marked here. And now you are working again normal with the single crochet and like with the 2 loops
11:09
taking normally the stitches. And you'll make 3 single crochet, 1 increase, you repeat 6 times like you would do normally
11:20
At the end of this round, you should have 30 stages. Okay, I will catch you up at the end
11:43
So, one, two, three, and increase here. Good! All right, now we can see a better shape here now, that's very nice
11:58
Now for round number 22, you will work 4 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times, and you
12:04
should have a total of 36 stitches at the end. This is the last round with increases, so our body will work from here up
12:17
increases anymore. Alright
12:28
Continue here, all the way around and I will catch you up here
12:33
You see, this is the inside. I didn't mention before. Great! Now for round 23 to 27, you will work 36 single crochet. Alright
12:46
Simple, easy, play your movie, stop this video and I will catch you up at the end of round 27
13:00
Great! Add my stitch marker here and now I will start decreasing. Here it will be a little bit different
13:07
You will work six single crochet and then you will make two single crochet, one decrease
13:12
repeat six times and you will have six more stitches remaining and you'll finish the round
13:19
like this. We are searching for some belly shape here, you will understand it a bit later
13:25
you will see the shape. All right, so here first you make, I will go slowly in the first
13:33
rows because we will repeat this kind of rows a couple of more times
13:37
Then once you understand I will move a little bit fast so this tutorial is not long
13:45
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Okay? So, 6 single crochet and now we start the repetition
13:52
So 1, 2 single crochet and the decrease. Great
14:03
You repeated this 6 times. Alright? have 6 stitches left here and you just make single crochet here
14:15
Okay so now for the next round 29 and 30 you will make 30 single crochet That it okay 2 rows here just with 30 single crochet I will catch you up after round 30 Okay do you see this straight and here is a little bit
14:37
round? This is what we are searching for. So now for round number 31, you will make six single
14:46
crochet, 1 sc, 1 decrease, repeat this for 6 times and you will have left 6 sc. So again
14:54
it is the same thing, here you work 6 sc
15:32
Okay, you make 6 times, you have here's the decrease and 6 single crochet here and I will
15:47
catch you up. Great, we can see even more clear here now the shape that we are searching for
15:54
Now for round 32 and 33 you will work 24 sc
16:05
Stop your video here, finish this round and I will catch you up. Great
16:13
Now let's move on for the next round and you will work 2 sc, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times
16:21
and you should have 18 stitches at the end of this round. So now we are back on working even the decreases
16:29
So, one, two, and one decrease here. Great. Alright
16:45
Alright, now for the round 35 you will work one single crochet, one decrease, repeat six
16:57
times and you should have 12 stitches at the end of this round
17:05
Okay, so this is how it should be looking like now
17:19
And here we will start, we will work a couple of rounds here without increases and decreases
17:26
So for rounds 36 to round 40, you will work 12 single crochet
17:32
So, just 12 single crochet, go all the way up to round 40 and I will catch you up at the end of round 40
17:43
Okay, here we are. Now, I forgot to mention, go adding stuffing materials before you get super narrow
17:52
You need to go adding stuffing material as you go. ok so for round number 41 you will make 2 single crochet 1 decrease and you repeat this
18:05
for 3 times ok? you should have 9 stitches at the end of this round here
18:12
Alright, so here we have our 9 stitches
18:24
Add a little bit stuffing material as you go because now we will work from round 42 to 55
18:32
9 single crochet. Okay, remember to go adding as you go stuffing material so it's not very hard for you once
18:39
you finish all the repetitions here. Good, look at this! Very nice shape, very long tail
18:49
And now we are almost done. Here we will make one single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and we will have
18:56
six stitches left. Okay? I will move fast forward here, it's just three repetitions
