Crochet Plush Stingray Tutorial - NO SEW | Free Amigurumi Pattern

[@MINNOW_ON_PAWS]

Is this pattern sutible for a 4.0mm hook and non bulky yarn

[@theresascrochetshop]

Yes! If you make this pattern as written with medium weight yarn and a 4mm hook, it will be 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 3.5 inches (9 cm) long.

@@theresascrochetshop Ty so much :)

[@JosepiLikesCats]

​@@theresascrochetshopplease could you slow down next time I want to make this but to fast sorry

[@theresascrochetshop]

@@JosepiLikesCats Aww I'm sorry it was too fast! perhaps slowing the playback speed would help, but I can understand I do speed through it! Thanks for the feedback.

[@JosepiLikesCats]

Np I have never even picked up crotchet equipment ever but I ordered it and today I will try and make it

[@lucasyoungers]

I made this with standard weight yarn and a 4mm hook. It turned out super well! I might use a 3.5 or 3 mm hook for standard weight yarn for anyone else who tries this, but even with the slightly-too big hook I love how it turned out. Thank you so much for the wonderful pattern!

I’ve been crocheting for a week and managed to make this cute stingray in mint green. The hardest part for me is R1 and R2. I find it so fiddly, I’ve undone my yarn so many times, incredibly frustrating. Thank you for this video tutorial, the end result is very cute

[@DOMINIKPAULSEN]

Do not give up this hobby is so much fun, for the parts you have difficulty with, go slow, it is normal at first to get annoyed but it's so worth while when you finish the project, good luck and welcome to the AMAZING WORLD OF CROCHET

[@catsarecool7]

I agree the beginning is difficult

I did a few arugummi pieces which didn’t turned out quite good, but I continued to try but it was hard to keep motivation. This was the first piece which came out nearly perfect and it made me so happy, to keep going. The start was maybe a bit difficult and if it doesn’t look good, just continue !!

[@coolcatkitten]

This was in fact actually a quick and super mega-easy pattern, though I would consider myself an intermediate crocheter, I would say this was very beginner-friendly! I love it!

[@theresascrochetshop]

Aww yay! I'm so thrilled to hear it! Thank you!

[@wspgaiily]

Only crocheted once. Will do this now. Will give update. See you guys in 2 weeks 😂 for that’s how long it will take me to follow along this video to my crotcheting skills

[@jjgrammy4794]

As a beginner, stitch markers are my friend 😅

[@SophieLee._.]

This might be quite a long time ago, but just curious: how did your stingray came out? Would it change a lot to use such a light weight yarn? (I'm planning to make one myself soon ♡)

[@AxolotlBuilds913]

Wow. I always try to find good tutorials for plushies, and none of them make sense! This one is perfectly clear. Definitely recommend. ❤

[@clicksandcrochets2929]

Finally! Someone who crochets like me! I loop my yarn from the front instead of from behind too lol! Every video I’ve ever watched loops from behind

[@sassak]

same! I've recently taught myself the "normal" way in case it impacts some more unique stitches, but I still hold my yarn tension the way I always have. my chains are still the under version instead of yarn over.

[@Gigi_dragoncatz]

It turned out great!

[@LumaLena23]

I did this pattern with super chunky plush yarn as a present for my friend who loves stingrays!! Love it!! Definitely going to pass this on to the crochet club I’m in :)

[@lglenn1816]

What size crochet hook did you use with the super chunky yarn? I bought Hobby Lobby’s Eternal Bliss and it is impossible to get the 8 mm hook into it to crochet. TIA

[@gigipanini6635]

This pattern is so cute! I was searching the internet for a stingray pattern, and I found this!! It’s so perfect and adorable, I think i just found my new crochet hyper fixation.

[@el0oo0o0]

This video is so easy and clear and i LOVE IT. Im using it for the third time to make a baby stingray for my baby cousin who might be born today! HE WAS BORN YESTERDAY ❤❤

[@BloxyCraftWasTaken]

I hope you embroidered the eyes because its a baby

[@forestk8762]

I got really cute results sewing the spots on the ray little as Xs by making a small line (like the spots in the video), then taking the white yarn back under and overlapping it.

[@angelburnett-ashwin3851]

Amazing turorial. Great speed. Love how it turned out and relatively easy to work up. Thank you ❤

[@Cearry-yt6]

Bro this pattern is so beginner friendly this is my first amigurumi and that was so easy for me love it❤️❤️❤️

[@renitanewman6701]

Loved this! I used regular 4 worsted acrylic yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, and it worked up perfectly. I love the soft ones but that's a more expensive yarn. I'd share a pic of my finished project but KZbin doesn't allow.

[@theresascrochetshop]

Yay! That's awesome! Thank you!

[@personalemail2167]

About how wide in inches did yours turn out with a 4.5 hook? I want to make it into a car mirror hanger but not sure if 4.5 hook will make it too big.

[@theresascrochetshop]

@@personalemail2167 With a 5mm hook, it's 5 inches wide; so with a 4.5 hook, it would be a little smaller than that.

[@biflower9247]

So I just started to learn crocheting (about 5 days ago) and I am almost done with my ray. I made my ray a big bigger (eyeballed the rows) and used felt yarn. To crochet both sides together i had to switch from an 8 mm hook to a smaller version (i used 3 mm cause thats the obly other one I have but 5mm should be enough). But your video was soooo helpful, thanks to you I can proudly say that I can crochet the basics (:

[@bethanymerchant2378]

I love this design! I used a different type and size yarn and hook because it's all I had and it's so teeny, fits in the palm of my hand! I finished it and then had an idea, it worked! if you do the exact same steps as you do to make the tail on each corner of the head but only chain 3 it becomes a Manta Ray! Now I've got ideas on how to change a few parts of the pattern on the wings and or nose I think I could make it look like a southern ray, a cownose ray, and a spotted eagle ray hehe I love the original design as a cute sort of unspecified species of ray and Im going to be making a ton more in pretty colors but I think I'm also going to test my alterations with the colors the rays are in real life. Thank you for this tutorial it was super simple to follow! 🥰

[@SophieLee._.]

Gosh that's smart! Did u get any of those done? It would be so cool to make a bunch of rays with different features! I would loveee to make all of them if I ever could ♡

[@SoozeeQ]

Adorable! These are the best looking rays I've seen so far.

[@theresascrochetshop]

Aww so happy you like them. Thank you!

[@celinadenyse7331]

Just made this and it turned out so cute! I used yarn that was kinda between super bulky and jumbo, thicker then 6 but not as thick as 7, yarn bee in aqua marbled, 10mm hook and 15mm eyes. Final size was 12"x9" not including tail length. Its the perfect size for kids and incredibly adorable! Thanks for sharing this pattern

[@tazlizard]

I have crocheted for 45 years and have never heard of anyone turning after a chain row. Other than that your pattern is easy peasy to follow and turned out as cute as can be!!

I was a little skeptical if I should do the stingray because it looked hard but I did it! So I’m making one for my aunt 😂

[@RebeccaSchmitz-o9p]

Could you tell me how to make a bigger one? Should I just do a few more stitches per row, but not more increases? I tried it on my own but it didn't work out. I think it's really cute ❤

[@theresascrochetshop]

That's a good question! I have a pattern for a bigger ray here: www.theresascrochetshop.com/products/raymond-ray-amigurumi-crochet-pattern But the basic concept to make a bigger ray would be to continue the pattern after R7, with an increase at the beginning and the end of each row until you are happy with the size. :) Let me know if you have other questions!

[@temperate_star]

Some notes after making one of these: you can add the tail during the closure process if you finish one side, chain 9 and slip stitch back and then continue the closure. You can also slip stitch across the 6 stitches at the top to begin the head in the 7th stitch instead of cutting and refastening your yarn. These 2 steps lead to less hassle and more stream lined process!

[@carla-andreasoto1749]

Can you help me figure out how to make it bigger? Thanks ~

[@oceanchildasmr]

What I do to make it bigger is get chunkier yarn usually (paired with a bigger needle too). When working with my chunkiest yarn and I still want it bigger, I either double the number of each row and/or use a double or triple crochet per row instead of a single crochet. I tried the double rowing for this pattern and it worked out nicely but still not as big as I want it to be so I might increase stitch size per row as well. ☺️ Hope this helps!
