Crochet Watermelon Introduction

Materials

You know what? This yarn is my favorite yarn for making most of my amigurumi toys. And this time is not an exception, I use this 4-ply yarn and buy it online easily on ETSY in this Canada-based shop, or this shop. I use these colors: cyan, white, red, and brown. Try with your favorite colors if you like. I’m also using hook size 2.3 mm and Hamanaka is one of my favorite brands, find and buy Hamanaka hook on ETSY.

Try with other sport weight yarns that you have been familiar with. I recommend using Yarnart Jeans as an alternate, buy online at the cheapest price here. Besides, you will need some extra kinds of stuff as follows:

  • Scissors, pins, needles, stuffings.
  • Pair of safety eyes: size 10 mm.

  1. Hello, thank you for this fun pattern! The edge around the face is just beautiful and was wondering how you are turning each row. Do you ch 1, turn or turn, ch 1 or no chain?

    1. Hi Ziaria, thanks for asking!
      Don’t turn each row, just cut the yarn and join again into the first stitch of the previous row to make the next row, ch 1 to start every row.
      Ask me if you still have any questions 🙂

  2. Thank you so much! I found your video on YouTube and it showed me what to do. Apparently, I am more of a visual learner and I cannot thank you enough for providing both the written and visual pattern. Your patterns are wonderful!!!
