Making The Crochet Angie the Angler Fish
Materials Needed:
- Worsted weight yarn in colors purple, light purple, white, black, yellow (optional separate color for the bow)
- Size G (4 mm) crochet hook
- Safety bead eyes
- Darning needle for sewing pieces together
- Pair of scissors
- Stuffing
Step by step Pattern
Small Fins (Make 2):
- With light purple yarn, make a slip knot and chain 4.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, single crochet in the next 3 chains.
- Turn, chain 1. Skip the chain and single crochet into the next 2 stitches.
- Still, in the last stitch, prepare to change to the main color (darker purple). Start an increase (2 single crochets in the same stitch) but introduce the new color to complete the stitches.
- Turn, chain 1 in the new color, and single crochet across (4 stitches), working around both ends to hide them.
- Chain 1, cut the yarn leaving a tail long enough for sewing, and pull through.
Tail Fin:
- With the light purple yarn, create a slip knot and chain 5.
- Skip the first chain, single crochet in the next 4 chains.
- Turn, chain 1, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, stopping one stitch early.
- Turn, chain 2. Skip the first chain and single crochet in the second chain and the next 3 stitches (4 stitches total).
- The last stitch of Row 4, switch back to the main color as finished in the small fins.
- Chain 1, cut both yarn colors leaving a tail for sewing, and pull through.
Teeth (Small and Large):
- Small Teeth (Make 5): Chain 3 with white yarn, skip the first chain, slip stitch in the second chain, single crochet in the third chain. Cut the yarn, pull through, and pinch to shape.
- Large Teeth (Make 7): Chain 4 with white yarn, follow a similar pattern as the small teeth but add a half double crochet in the last chain for larger teeth.
Fishing Rod (Lure):
- Begin with a magic loop in yellow yarn, single crochet 6 inside the loop.
- Rounds continue in specified increments, varying between single crochets, increases, color changes to mimic a bi-color pattern, and special stitches like the invisible decrease. Follow the pattern closely to shape the fishing rod correctly.
- Introduce a pipe cleaner for stability, and finish off with sewing it to the head.
Body and Head:
- Begin with a magic loop in the main color, progressing similarly to creating the mouth and fishing rod. Incorporate increases and strategic decrease stitches to shape the body and head.
- The pattern intricately details how to create the mouth, including sewing technique for the teeth and finishing touches like eyes and blushing cheeks to add character.
- The video tutorial likely provides close-up visuals for complex steps like color changes, perfect stripes, and sewing on parts.
Final Assembly:
- Sew all the pieces as directed, attach safety eyes, stitch the mouth inside, and apply the finishing touches like the lure and bow.
- Fill Angie with stuffing to give her shape, paying special attention to the head, the lower jaw, and finishing off by sewing the body closed.
