I have the sea creatures that I made. It's four patterns and they are no sewing
0:07
My favorite is the turtle. The turtle is beautiful, no sewing at all. Okay, so here now I add the pieces that I need to sew, the ears I'm starting with, and I use the help of pins. I think those pins with this colorful head, they are the best because you can really attach it on the place that you want
0:30
and it's not moving while you're sewing. This is very important also
0:39
Alright, now for here, for sewing, I will go also slow to show you
0:45
nicely how it's done, but basically you grab one stitch from the hand
0:51
so here I'm going up, so I'm taking round by round here, not stitch by stitch
0:56
and you take one stitch from the ear, like inside like this. So one stitch from the round
1:12
and here one stitch from the detail. Super good, right? So here you can see pretty much how it's done
1:26
I know some of you struggle with the sewing and different parts asks for different types of sewing
1:36
All right, so once you're done, this is how it should be looking like your ears, okay? Go slowly
1:43
with sewing and if you make mistake, just unravel, okay? Now you'll find this, you see, middle, this
1:51
central stitches. So here you'll find the six central stitches. I'm gonna touch my
2:01
red yarn here. So I mark the stitch that I'm gonna start and finish. Okay? If you
2:12
if you watch the Chubby Chubbing Box, I did this the same, so you know how to do
2:20
this already. So this string for now I'm not gonna fasten, I will just use a pin
2:26
here so it doesn't move and my stitch stays on the same place and later when
2:31
I'm done I will organize that. So chain one and for the first round you will
2:39
now you start working rolls, okay? So here you grab the front loop that is
2:45
remaining and you work six single crochet so here is one I will go slow
2:51
here also. Here is two, here it's three, four, five and I'll remove your marker and six
3:19
okay so here we are working in rounds right so you chain one turn your work and for the second
3:30
round you will work six single crochet again here I'll go fast forward just work your six single
3:39
crochet very nice you chain one and you turn for the third round you'll work two single crochet one
3:48
decrease, two single crochet. So you'll have five stitches here at the end. Here
3:54
you can do the normal decrease as you are used to it. Yeah, working with
4:01
Merino wool you can miss some ply sometimes. Alright, so here I'm finishing
4:10
in 1 and 2. And now let's move on for our next round. For here you will work 1
4:25
single crochet, 1 decrease, 2 single crochet and we are working in rows, right
4:31
I'm still talking rounds. Okay. So this round is finished, now let's work our next one
4:51
So you chain one, turn, and here for the next round, round number five, you'll work one single
4:59
crochet, one decrease, one single crochet. So here at the end you'll have only three
5:05
stitches left. Alright, now we'll go for our last round, our last row, three single crochet. Okay
5:27
So here you just work three single crochet Super good You see this is what we want Here I will cut the yarn again leave a tail for sewing And now we will start organizing these strings that is left Okay so you do as you do normally
5:51
here. You insert the needle in, insert the yarn in the embroidery needle or
5:59
tapestry needle and just hide the beginning of this yarn. Okay now we will
6:09
add the snout here and you will work I will just fasten this up you will work
6:19
again you'll sew the snout okay and you will work the same way I know I say you
6:26
will work some three times, but you will work the same way you did for the years, okay
6:31
One stitch from the fox and one stitch from the snout. Okay, so this you'll do until almost the end because you will stop a little bit to
6:49
add stuffing material. Alright, so here I'll move fast forward. Okay, so this is how
7:09
it should be looking like. So you sew all the way here and then you leave it open
7:13
to add the stuffy material in the snout. Alright, so now let's move on and sew this red part of the
7:21
fox on top of the snout. Okay, so here you'll do the same. This sewing is actually easier than the pieces
7:31
so you always grab one stitch from the fox and here you'll grab one round right so here one stitch
7:48
and you continue doing that all the way around once you finish this side you just move your
7:56
move your needle one side to another, so you finish the other side
8:11
All right, super good, now I will sew this other side. Okay, this is very nice, now what you do is
8:20
you grab a piece of beige yarn, because I'm working with two colors with my fox, right
8:26
So the same color you work the snout and the body. You will now embroider a couple of lines inside
8:34
the ear of this toy, so you have a nice deep detail for the ears
8:41
So here I insert my yarn here, you take the middle part of the ear like this, and you
8:54
make a triangle here. And this is your limit from one side to another, you will stay inside this triangle
9:07
Go slow here. Now you will start in making more lines inside this triangle until you are satisfied with
9:19
the amount of yarn, with the amount of lines. Look at this, for me this is nice
9:27
Now you'll grab a little bit of the brown yarn and you will make a detail on the snout
9:37
So here what we're going to do is to embroider a couple of straight lines between the snout
9:50
and like the beige part and the red part. See like this
9:58
So you work a couple of times here. Okay, super good look at this
10:31
so cute. I will secure this yarn and we will move on to some final details here
10:43
Okay, so now what we're gonna do here is you will start working in this round over here
10:52
so here is between the second and the third round. All right, so you insert the needle somewhere here
11:01
And you grab one stitch. You see this is actually between the rounds, it's not one stitch stitch, but it's one stitch
11:15
Now I will start working a couple of color changes here and that will make this nice detail of its neck Alright for this fox deathing ring once again I will secure this beginning of my yarn later But what you going
11:32
to do here is, let me just secure this first, you'll work with single crochet all the way around. So
11:40
So for this round, you should make here 30 single crochet, okay
11:45
This is very simple. You work around the rounds. In between the rounds, this is you grabbing the posts, you see
11:55
And you work one single crochet inside each of these. And because it's between these two rounds, you should have 30 stitches
12:03
so you see here you can see here better the stitch you work all the way around
12:12
once you're done what you're going to do now is and here i change my working direction
12:20
because i think this is best better for me to hold the toy so what you're doing here now is
12:29
you're working increases. Okay, so you work one single crochet and one increase and then you just
12:36
repeat all the way until the end. One single crochet, one increase. You'll have a bunch of
12:42
stitches here. So here I'm on the last round and I will change to this other yellow color. I want
12:53
to add some colors for this teething ring. So here for the third round you'll work again two single
12:59
crochet, one increase, repeat 13 times and you have 53 stitches. Here you don't need to count
13:08
What we are working here is some hyperbolic shape, so we want this to be more floppy
13:16
you know. So in order for this to happen you need to make a lot of increases. So work this
13:22
and you should have this, it should be looking like this now. And again you will
13:30
work two single crochet, one increase and repeat 17 times. Two single crochets
13:35
gonna left at the end, but if you don't want you don't need to count. Just work
13:39
two single crochet, one increase all the way until the end. I forgot to add my
13:45
stitch marker here. It's important to add the stitch mark. So once again I will
13:50
make a color change here, I will change to this beautiful green. So for the fifth
13:56
round you will work two single crochet, one increase and repeat 23 times. You
14:02
should have 93 stitches here, I suggest you not to count because as I told you
14:07
we are searching for hyperbolic shape, so we just want to be very floppy
14:14
my increase here, just watch out because the stitch can overlap and maybe you don't see much
14:23
the stitches are one above each other, one above other, okay, so this, for this round
14:34
you will work again, always, for all the rounds you are working, two single crochet, one increase
14:40
okay so you work all the way until the end and you'll have have a very nice
14:47
floppy shape here super good you see this is what we are searching for this is what we want
14:55
here I already cut my yarn you don't need to cut it very big because you're not sewing here
15:01
so we'll just fasten this off and be smarter than me and start around on the back not in the front
15:09
as I need okay that's super good very nice now I'm just organizing this here
15:26
this is super good okay what we are working now is the handler of the
15:34
this thing ring, that wooden ring, right? So here you can work with any color you want. I chose the
15:41
beige. So you chain 21. I will fast forward this. And if your this thing ring is larger than mine
15:52
you can just, you can go to the website, the written patterns in the description below
15:58
where I show you how to increase this in case your wooden ring is larger or bigger than mine
16:06
So you'll work here only single crochet, and you'll work 20 single crochet for round 1 to 6
16:16
So here I just want to show you how is the first round, first row, you're working in rows
16:21
how the first row look like. You are at the last stitch here
16:26
So let's just make our single crochet. You chain 1, turn and this is what you will work all the way until the end
16:38
So work here 6 more rounds. Alright, so this is how it should be looking like
16:56
Very nice. You cut this with some leftover like a good amount because this is the one you gonna sew it in the wooden ring all right This is very nice Now here I add into my needle and let start sewing these together
17:19
Okay, this is my wooden ring, and again if you need to make it bigger or larger
17:25
you can check the the written pattern but here if it's longer you want you just add more chains
17:33
if it's fatter you add more rows okay this is basically how what you should be doing
17:41
so here this is how i like to hold because i like to sew it already in the position that i
17:46
want it to stay but of course you can sew it the way that you want it can slide no problem
17:52
So this here will just show you how I make. So here the first one I take just these first stitches
18:02
here and then from now I start grabbing two by two here just to make sure that they are
18:24
combine nice together, like this. So this is the first one, and if you count you
18:31
should make this 20 times, okay? If you did with 21 chain
18:41
Alright, this is super good
18:55
So this is how it's done. I will leave you off here and I will catch you up once I'm finished
19:02
Okay, super good. Now what we're going to do is I will embroider these eyes before
19:08
you always remember to make a simple knot in the beginning of the yarns that you're
19:12
introducing to the toy. Here if you're using safety eyes you can check the link
19:19
in the description below and follow the pattern there I tell you the exact
19:23
position which round I embroidered this but I like to embroider my eyes and this
19:30
one I will embroider with the sleeping eyes. So, I will leave it off here showing you how it's done
19:52
And this is very simple. that I like. I'll hide this here
20:07
You see, very simple. I now move to the other side. Good! Super simple and very nice. Great! I will embroider the other one, I come back here
20:25
Great! So now you take the wooden ring, you bring this tail to the middle, you see, and
20:35
here you find the best position for your toy. Central, central, and I will show you here
20:42
how I hold these two together. So I make sure that it's very tight on my hands, because here
20:49
is very important for you to sew in all the stitches and hold it on it where it's supposed
20:56
to be and to stay, because once you move, the head needs to be very well fixed in the wooden ring here
21:06
So here I will show you how I hold. You see, this is the central position. All right, we already
21:12
introduce the yarn and on the head. So now you hold it here and you go sewing
21:22
all the way around the stitch from the head with the stitch from the handler
21:32
So I already grabbed the one from the head now I need to grab one from the
21:37
handler and you continue doing this a couple of times until it's very well tight
21:57
Okay this is looking super good but still you see a little bit. Let's do it more
22:06
You go sewing and checking if it's on the same position, going and checking
22:12
So this is how it should be looking like once it's done
22:17
Very beautiful. I hope you enjoyed this pattern and I will see you next week
22:22
