Hello there, it's Anna here. Welcome to Little Crochet Farm. Today I will show you how to make
0:05
this whale no sewing toy. So if you don't like sewing, this is a great pattern for you
0:13
And I mean, you need to sew the eyes if you're following this pattern, but if you
0:17
want to use safety eyes, then there is no sewing at all. Okay, the written pattern is in the
0:24
description below with all information that you may need. For now I tell you that I use
0:29
a 2 mm crochet hook and cotton yarn for this pattern. Now let's jump on to the pattern
0:43
Alright, so here we'll start with a magic ring and we are starting crocheting the fins, okay
0:51
so for this one you will make four single crochet inside the magic ring
0:59
all right so we have four here close tight your magic circle and move on for
1:23
the next round. Here you will make one increase and one single crochet. You repeat this two times and
1:30
you will have six stitches at the end. Here when I say one increase means that you will crochet two
1:36
single crochet inside one stitch. As you can see here I just did two single crochet inside one stitch
1:45
Alright and then you continue. If you are a beginner or if you have any questions leave them
1:51
in the comment box below and check also the description just under this video because there
1:58
is tutorials there of every stitch and technique i use to do the toys all right okay so we finish
2:06
here the second round organize your stitches a little bit because it might be curling outside
2:13
and for the third round you will make six single crochet so no increases no
2:22
decreases just the six single crochet I will go slow here at the beginning
2:43
all right almost done and okay now for the fourth round you will make six
2:57
increases so you should have 12 single crochet here at the end of this round
3:04
okay so you can stop your video here and continue when you finish the fourth round
3:10
all right so here I have with my 12 stitches and now you will make two rounds only with 12
3:21
single crochet so for round 5 and 6 you should make 12 single crochet okay once again you can
3:29
stop the video here and catch me up when you finish your round number six great now we will do a round with the creases so for the seventh round you will crochet one single crochet and one
3:44
decrease you repeat this four times and you should have eight stitches at the
3:49
end of this round okay super good so here we have you see this is the shape we are searching for I will
4:06
hide this tail inside of my fin okay and now here for the round 8 you will crochet 8 single crochet okay super easy
4:40
all right and now here you see you fold the thin and you will crochet four single crochet
4:53
you will crochet two stitches here together one from one side and one from the other side here
5:00
you just pay attention the first one it's a little bit tricky because it's one stitch beside another
5:06
so it might be a little bit hard to grab it this first two and then you should go
5:12
smooth then it's much easier you can see so here is my second my third so you
5:22
understood here right you have eight stitches at the end of the round you
5:27
fold the the fin together and then you you crochet together with one side to
5:34
another that will lead you to four stitches this is important because we
5:38
will be doing this a couple of times here for the next things alright so here
5:45
you finished off completely so you just close and you finish and you cut the
5:49
yarn at the end I'll just hide this tail
6:04
Super good! So one of the fins is fine, and you should make another one following the same pattern
6:13
Alright, for the other fins, you will follow the round 1 to 5th
6:21
and on the 6th round, you will make a little bit different
6:26
You will start making 6 decreases. This is the front fins, so it's a little bit smaller than the other one
6:35
So you follow the pattern from the beginning of this video, from round 1 to 5
6:41
and you continue here in round 6, making the decreases. I will go fast forward here
6:50
And this is what you should have once you reach all the decreases. Well, once I move my hands, it's out of the frame
6:58
okay here again I'm just hiding the tail inside the beginning of the tail
7:07
and you see this is much smaller so now you have six single crochets here right
7:18
after the decreases so you will crochet together making three single crochet
7:23
here connecting one side to another like you just did it with a bigger fin
7:33
and that's it small and fast the second one so again you finish this off
7:43
completely like the first one if you have any questions leave them in the
7:52
comment box below I will be happy to help you finish your little whale well
8:03
Alright, so again for this one you finish off, you cut the yarn and you should make another
8:16
one following the same pattern. Alright, so now you should have 4 fins done
8:23
2 will become the tail and this 2 here is the front one, front fins
8:29
We will now move on and start the body. here once again you start with the magic ring and here this time you make six
8:40
single crochet inside the magic ring Close tight, very nice, and move on for the second round
9:06
Here for the second round you'll make 6 increases, so you should have 12 stitches at the end
9:11
of this round. So now what we start here is we will increase six stitches in each row
9:20
All right? Each round. Never mind. And we will increase this all the way until seven repetitions
9:27
But here I will show you very slow the beginning and then we will move a little bit faster
9:33
because it's a lot of repetitions. So just remember when I say here one
9:45
increase means that you will crochet two single crochet inside one stitch
9:52
Super good. Now I'll just first show you here how I start my crochet toys
10:03
At the beginning of the tail, I make sure to double check that this magic ring will not open
10:11
And of course the toy will not unravel, but it's very hard to unravel this anyway
10:16
But this is what I do at the beginning of every toy I make. just double securities
10:25
That's it, this is enough. Now we move on for the third round
10:31
I will add my stitch marker here, in my case I just add a piece of yarn, a different color
10:37
yarn, and for the third round you will crochet one single crochet, one increase, repeat for
10:43
six times and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round alright so one single crochet and here one increase You make this all the way around stop the video here and I will catch you up at the end
11:01
Okay, so this is how it should be looking like at the end of your third round
11:06
Add your stitch marker here at the end of the round at the last stitch, and for the fourth
11:11
round you will make two single crochet one increase repeat six times and you
11:15
should have 24 stitches at the end of this round so here let's go it again one
11:21
two single crochet and here you'll make one increase all right repeat this all
11:30
the way until the end and I will catch you up here stop the video and I will
11:35
continue making this repetition. Good, so this is the end of the round, let me add
11:44
here my stitch marker and move on for the next. So for round number five you
11:51
will crochet three single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should
11:56
have a total of 30 stitches at the end of the round. Okay? So one two three and
12:04
and here my increase. Once again you repeat this all the way until the end and I will
12:10
catch you up here. Great! Add the stitch marker at your last stitch and continue for round
12:22
number 6 you will make 4 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times and you should have
12:28
36 stitches at the end of this round. 4 and my increase here
12:44
Alright, so you repeat this 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1 increase all the way until the end
12:53
Add your stitch marker at your last stitch the round and start the round number seven. Here you will crochet five single
13:04
crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of 42
13:09
stitches at the end of this round. Okay, so you see here it's basically it's
13:16
always the same the repetitions and that will catch you up at the end of this
13:22
round. Good! This is how it should be looking like. Now this is what's gonna
13:28
happen. You will crochet 6 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times and you have a
13:34
total of 48 stitches, all the way until the end, and then you'll move on for the
13:39
last round with increases, which is round number 9, 7 single crochet, 1 increase
13:46
repeat six times and you should have a total of 54 stitches at the end it's a
13:52
lot of repetition so I just jump one round here and I will catch you up once
13:57
I finish this round number nine all right this is how it should be looking
14:03
like now you will make just single crochet so from round 10 to 17 you will
14:11
crochet 54 single crochet stop your video here and make all of these rounds
14:17
with no increases and decreases just a single crochet and I will catch you up
14:22
