Hello there, it's Anna here, welcome to Little Crochet Farm
0:04
Today I'll show you how to crochet this little koala bear. It's a very easy pattern to follow
0:10
Here I make several colors and I play with the ears of this one
0:15
so you can have and explore your creativity. I use a 2mm crochet hook for this pattern and a cotton yarn
0:24
All the information you'll need to know is in the description below
0:28
together with the written pattern, alright? Now let's start crocheting this toy
0:33
Super good. We will start here with a magic ring or a magic circle
0:46
and we'll start crocheting this toy from the head to the bottom, all right
0:51
So inside the magic ring you will work six single crochet. If you don't know how to make the magic ring
0:58
or if this video is too fast for you, check in the description below or in the top right corner
1:03
of this video. I will leave a link to a complete tutorial
1:07
in a slow-mo showing you how to work a magic ring. All right, but here you can see it pretty much how it's done
1:16
One, two, three, four, five, six single crochet. So I pull this tight and close the magic ring
1:25
And I will move on for round number two. For the second round here you will work six increases
1:33
which means that you will crochet two single crochet inside one stitch
1:38
At the end of this round you should have 12 stitches, okay
1:43
So you see here two single crochet, next stitch I add again two single crochet and so on
1:51
until you complete all in the six stitches. Once you're done here, what I like to do is to take embroidery needle and just double secure the beginning of this thread here in the first round, so we make sure that this will not unravel and that this little hole will remain very nice, closed and tight
2:15
Like this, all right. Now I'll add here my stitch marker. I like to mark the last stitch of my rounds. So it's this one
2:25
one and in my case I just use a different color, a piece of yarn of different color
2:31
Okay, so for now for round number three you will work one single crochet, one increase
2:40
repeat six times and you should have a total of 18 stitches here
2:44
Alright, so this is the increase here and you'll repeat all the way until the end
2:49
Once you repeat, this is how it should be looking like and you can move on for round number four
2:56
where you'll work two single crochet, one increase. Repeat six times and you should have 24 stitches
3:02
Alright, so this is my increase here. Let me show you this, so here you can see one single crochet here
3:12
two, and the increase. Okay, repeat all the way until the end and I will catch you up here
3:18
for round number five. Super good here, you will work again, you continue this pattern of increasing six
3:26
times so you will work three single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and you
3:31
should have 30 stitches at the end of this round. I always suggest you to count how
3:36
many stitches you have at the end of each round. All right, so let me double check
3:41
here one two three and one increase Repeat this all the way until the end And this is how it should be looking like super nice Now we stop with increases here to give the height or the size of the head here
3:58
Okay, so for round 6 to 11, you will work just 30 single crochet
4:04
So he is very easy, you can stop the video here, and I will catch you up once we are done with all this
4:11
Very nice, so this is how you should be looking like. Now let me show you here one thing
4:16
think this is the last round with increases you see this one here it's one increase so you have
4:24
here one round round number six right seven eight nine ten and round number eleven here okay so now
4:37
let's move on for round number 12 you will work here a bit different so this is you will work one
4:43
single crochet follow me by one In my case I use here invisible decrease for Amigurumi, so you just grab the front loop of the next two stitches
4:54
and you will again work one decrease. So you have one decrease following up by another decrease, okay
5:02
This is the repetition you're going to work until the end of this round. So one single crochet
5:09
one decrease and another decrease here. If you don't know how to make the invisible
5:16
decrease and you cannot catch by this video if it's too fast for you check in the
5:21
description below there is a link with a complete tutorial for this once you repeat all
5:27
the way until the end this is how it should be looking like all right so we are done with
5:31
the decreases for now and for round number 13 you will work 18 back loop slip stitch okay
5:40
so you grab only the back loop of the stitch this one over here and you make
5:46
a slip stitch. Once again, if you need further help here, you can always leave me a comment in the
5:53
comment box below or you can check also the description of this video. Every stitch I use to
5:59
crochet this toy, there is one tutorial dedicated for it, okay? You see this line, this is what we want
6:05
This is the effect we are searching for. This line over here that you can see it. All right
6:11
and it's on this line that we will work our next round. We want our slip stitch. We want our slip
6:16
stitch here to be facing inside of the toy. Okay, but first let's quick stop here and add a little bit of stuffing material
6:28
Alright, once you add your stuffing material, we will move on here for the next round
6:33
as I told you in this remaining front loop here. So for round number 14, you will work in the front loop of the stitch
6:42
You will work two single crochet, one increase, repeat, six times and you should have at the end of this round for 24 stitches okay so here it's my
6:55
first stitch maybe the first one is a bit harder for you to grab but once you're done the rest
7:00
is easier second stitch and now the increase okay so all of this round you will work in the front
7:10
loop this line that I showed you okay so work all the way into the end as
7:16
Add your stitch marker here. I didn't, I forgot, but you can add it here
7:22
That will catch you up at the end. Okay, this is what we are looking for. You see here, this is the slip stitch that we work
7:31
So the round is inside of the toy and we have a nice and sharp division between the body and the head
7:39
Okay now we are not working increases anymore We will work just 24 single crochet here So for round 15 to 18 you will work 24 single crochet okay
7:52
So work your single crochet here and I will catch up once you finish round number 18
8:01
Great, so we have here the size of our koala and now we'll work here on the back loop of the stitch, okay
8:09
So for round number 19, you will work two single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times, and you should have 18 stitches
8:18
In this case, we will work the invisible decrease grabbing the back loop, okay
8:24
This is a special invisible decrease here. So you can hold, you see this loop, there is small here, you can hold it, and this will help you to bring your yarn to the front and finish your invisible decrees
8:39
So let us repeat here one more time. So one single crochet, another single crochet
8:45
and invisible decrease grabbing the back loop. Okay? So let us hold this little loop here
8:57
so it's easy for us to bring this yarn inside and finish the decrease, okay
9:03
And this will cause once again this line here. Super good, so this is the result
9:08
So this is the result. We work on the back loop because we want this to be sharp turning to the inside
9:16
So once again we stop here and we add stuffing material. Once you're done, let's move on for our last round here
9:26
So for round number 20, you will work one single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times
9:32
and you should have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round
9:36
Here we are again working normally with invisible decrees. And I will catch you up here at the end of this round so we can fasten off this toy
9:47
Super good. Now we have our 12 single crochet here. Cut your yarn
9:58
And let us fasten this off. Add this thread in the sewing needle
10:04
And here for closing this toy, you grab just the front loop of the stitch, okay
10:11
Just the front loop. Super good
10:22
Once you finish taking the front loop, you pull it tight, so it's closed nicely
10:28
Super good, and now we will double secure the ending of the thread
10:33
like we did with the beginning. Okay, so we just insert your... needle in the last round here of the stitch
10:42
Super good here. And this is the body of our koala bear
10:47
That's great. Now let's move on here. We'll start again with the magic ring and we will start working here the paws of the koala bear. Okay
10:58
So for here you will repeat round one and two from the beginning of this video
11:04
which means that you will work six single crochet. single crochet inside the magic ring, following up by six increases
11:12
Okay, so fast forward here because you already know how it's done
11:16
And I will catch you up here for round number three. Once again, I just want to show you here that you should secure the beginning of your thread
11:26
Alright, and let's add here a stitch marker. Super good. Now let work here a couple of rounds with the 12 single crochet shape okay So you just work here round 3 to 5 just 12 single crochet
11:46
I will catch you up at the end of round 5. Super good, we have it here this tiny little leg
11:55
and now we will fold this leg like this. Alright, so you have 12 stages
12:02
and now when you fold it you have six on the one side and six on the other side
12:07
That means you will crochet together, six single crochet. Okay? The first one is a bit tricky to take it because the stitch one and the last stitches beside each other
12:21
But once you finish with this first single crochet here, the rest is very easy
12:28
You will see it here. See, second stitch. second stitch much faster, much easier
12:38
Great, third, now the fourth stitch here. Fifth, and our last one here again, one beside another
12:52
Super good. And that's it, you have our tiny fall. Now I can cut this yarn, you leave a little bit of ten
13:01
for sewing later. And like this detail, you make two of it, okay
13:08
I magically have my one here. Tadda! Super good. Again, we'll start here with the magic ring
13:15
We are working now the arms of our koala bear. So you work six single crochet inside the magic ring, okay
13:24
And you know how it's done, so I will move a bit fast
13:28
And I will catch you up here for you. the next rounds
13:37
Super good. Securing this yarn and moving on. Now we will work here the sides of the arm
13:45
Okay, so for round 2 to 4, you will work 6 single crochet
13:50
The first round here I will work with you because it's a bit small, the detail and I want to show you
13:59
if your stitches also are tight like mine, your detail will be curling to the outside
14:09
leaving the wrong side facing out. So you see this? This is the wrong side here
14:15
and the tension is pulling this to the wrong direction. So just work this and make the right side to be facing out
14:25
Okay, look how it changed completely, right? Super good. Work now here your rounds and I will catch you up here at the end of round number five
14:40
Super good. Once you finish this with a round number five, let's just hide this thread here inside of the arm
14:50
Super good. And now the same thing that we did with the legs or with the back paws we will do here with the arms. Okay
14:58
So you have six single crocheted, right? You fold in half and you will work three single crochet on each side
15:06
Okay, so you make here three single crochet. Okay
15:18
Super good. Once again here, let's cut this thread. and great, now you work another one
15:30
