Tutorial to Crochet A No-Sew Kitty in A Watermelon Charm
Skill Level: Intermediate (level 2)
This is a fun crochet project where you make a watermelon pouch that hides a tiny cat inside. To make it, you will crochet two matching flat watermelon slices using green, yellow, and red yarn.
Then, you will crochet a small cat by starting with the ears, working down the body, adding soft stuffing, and stitching a face on it. Finally, you sew the bottom edges of the two watermelon slices together, attach a small button and a yarn loop at the top to close the pouch, and tuck the little kitty inside!
Skill level: Beginner to Intermediate. The reason is that the stitches used are very basic and easy, but changing the yarn colors frequently to make the watermelon stripes requires a bit of extra focus.
Materials needed:
5-ply milk cotton yarn (in dark green, light green, yellow, and red)
2.5 mm crochet hook
Fiberfill stuffing
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle (for sewing pieces together)
A small button
Fabric glue
Abbreviations used in the steps:
MR: Magic Ring
CH: Chain
SC: Single Crochet
INC: Increase (making two single crochets in the same stitch)
DEC: Decrease (turning two stitches into one)
SL ST: Slip Stitch
BLO: Back Loops Only
