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.

@@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.

I made this with velvet yarn and it's so stinking cute!!! I also tucked all of my tails in while I stitched the top and bottom together. SO fast! Loved it

Same!

[@ljayne3852]

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

[@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!

[@Gigi_dragoncatz]

Thank you so much! I started rocheting 4 days ago, learning all the stitches, etc. This is one of the first amigurumi tutorials that Icould atctually do, its very easy. I will tell you the results when im done!

[@Gigi_dragoncatz]

It turned out great!

[@cshauna9110]

Thank you for this pattern!! I made mine with size 4 yarn for my project and it came out perfect! I love that your directions are on the screen and you take time explaining. Thanks!

[@AxolotlBuilds913]

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

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.

[@jjgrammy4794]

I’m glad I found this tutorial! Using regular cotton yarn with a 3.0 hook size. Thank you for sharing this with us!❤

[@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 ♡)

[@elizabethpomerantz2245]

This was great, thank you! I watched it through, and then crocheted along with you, pausing frequently. My first amigurumi!

[@hishers4535]

Congrats!

[@HeatherBaca-qf4gu]

I always buy your patterns on etsy. I had no idea you had a youtube. I love this pattern it was so quick and easy

[@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

[@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

[@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

AWSOME VIDEO. I've been trying for most of the summer to learn crochet and tried this pattern before quitting. But to my surprise I managed to finish it and I love it!! Wonderful instructions :))

[@theresascrochetshop]

Yaaaay! I'm so happy to hear it! Congratulations on finishing! And thanks for your comment. :)

[@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 (:

[@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.

[@linspiratie2215]

😮😮 omg finally smth without the magic ring!!!! (Im realy bad at the magical ring) thanks!!!❤

[@C2L2F]

Omg! 😊😊 I started crocheting a couple months ago and I love it so much! 🩵 I saw this tutorial, and immediately clicked it 🥰 I love rays! (I’ve see some in the ocean before😮😁) I crocheted this very easily 😅 it was really fun and I love how it turned out 😍 (ofc it’s not as good as yours😉lol) I have only crocheted chains and tiny lil washcloths! This was an amazing step up from that😅 (I had been getting bored of chains and washcloths.) I named my sting ray Ray lol 😆🩵 Tysm for the *AMAZING* tutorial! Star rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@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 ♡

[@amerynthe]

Fell in love with your Ruby the Ray pattern and did a trial run with a mini first - my tiny one is called Ray - Ray Parker Jr (those of you who know Ghostbusters will know who that is). I'm going to make a rainbow family to go in the tummy of Ruby the Ray for my great-niece - who isn't even born yet! So thrilled to see your easy tutorials as I am a novice!

[@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

[@stacieface7427]

The yarn under through me but the text and your verbal instructions made it so easy. Super chuffed with myself. Thank you 😊

[@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.
