Techniques Used
The following are the crochet stitches and abbreviations for how to read the crochet instructions for candy corn plushie beginners:
- MR (Magic Ring): Create a loop, insert the hook, pull up a loop, and secure with a chain to form the adjustable base ring for working stitches.
- SC (Single Crochet): Insert the hook into a stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
- INC (Increase): Work two single crochets into the same stitch to increase the stitch count.
- DEC (Decrease): Insert the hook into the next two stitches, yarn over, pull through both stitches, yarn over, and pull through the remaining loops.
- BBL (Bobble): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, and repeat until you have multiple loops; yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
Using US terminology, the video guides you step-by-step, starting with a magic ring for the legs, joining them to form the body, and adding bubble stitches for texture. It also shows how to add facial details, secure stuffing, and attach the keychain.
