Crochet Crab Pattern

I hate to complain, but being in the summer heat and almost 9 months pregnant has left me a little

CRABBY. But this cute little crochet crab is cheering me right up! He measures about 8 inches across (from

big claw to big claw) and about 3 inches wide. This is a fun little amigurumi project to make to celebrate

summer!

Materials:- Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn in Scarlet Red and White

- Poly-fil

- Size H Crochet Hook- Small Safety Eyes

- Tapestry Needle

- Stitch Marker

Abbreviations:Magic Ring

SC = Single Crochet

SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease. I used theInvisible SC Decrease.

Body Pattern:Magic ring, chain 1 in ring and make 10 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds

Rd 2: 2 SC in each stitch around (20 SC)

Rd 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (30 SC)

Rd 4-8: SC in each stitch around (30 SC)

Rd 9: SC decrease in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around

Rd 10: SC in each stitch around

Rd 11: SC decrease in each stitch around until closed

Stuff before completely closing.

Big Claw:Magic ring, chain 1 in ring, make 4 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds

Rd 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (6 SC)Rd 3: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)

Rd 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2 stitches, repeat around (8 SC)

Rd 5: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)

Rd 6: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 3 stitches, repeat around (10 SC)

Do not fasten off.

Now you are going to connect the two claws. Begin to SC where you left off in big claw to begin attaching

them. SC all the way around both claws. You should have 18 Single crochets but don't worry if your stitch

count is off. It really doesn't matter :)

Rd 2: SC around (18 SC)

Rd 3: SC decrease in each stitch around

Start stuffing claw.

Rd 4-6: SC in each stitch around (9 SC)Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto body. Be sure to stuff with poly-fil and weave in loose ends as well.

I decided to add a little smile to my crab. I cut a small piece of black felt and hot-glued it on. You could also

stitch on a small mouth with black yarn. Or leave it plain!
