• Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• Yarn needle for weaving ends
• Pattern Steps

Abbreviation:

• SC = Single Crochet
• DEC = Decrease
• INC = Increase):

Start Body:

• Create a slip knot and chain 15.
• Work 13 SC starting from the first chain away from the hook.
• Put 4 SC into the last stitch to curve around.

Working in the Round:

• Continue to the other side of the chain and do 12 SC.
• Place 4 SC into the last stitch, then follow around to the first SC of the round.

Shaping the Body:

• Place a marker and work 13 SC.
• At the wider end (will be the front of the stingray), do a small increase by placing 2 SC into several stitches.
• Work SC all around back to the marker.

Making the Fins:

• Continue adding rounds of SC with occasional evenly spaced increases to keep the body flat.
• Begin making the fins by chaining out from the side of the body and working back towards the body with SC.
• Incorporate a “Pico decrease” technique to smoothly join fins to the body without gaps.

Finishing the Body:

After fins are created, continue increasing on the body rounds to ensure the fins position correctly, then carry on with SC until reaching the desired length.

• Follow the video’s instructions for exact placement and number of increases.

Adding Safety Eyes:

• Place safety eyes between rows (as mentioned in the video, above where you initially worked in the round).

Decreasing for Tail:

• Start decreasing at the end opposite the fins to shape into the tail.
• Use various rounds of decreasing, with regular SC in between to taper the body into the tail shape.
• Continue these steps, gradually decreasing the number of stitches between decreases until only six stitches remain.

Finishing Tail:

• Work a number of rounds with all SC to lengthen the tail.
• Once desired tail length is reached, close the tail and fasten off.

Stuff and Finish:

• Stuff the stingray with polyester fiberfill before the tail decreases get too small.
• Be sure not to overstuff, especially towards the end of the tail if you wish to curve it.
• Close the tail end neatly and weave in all ends.
