Let’s Start the Free Easy Crochet Plushie Pattern
The sun is crocheted from two identical pieces, which are then crocheted together. Crochet in rounds, always placing the stitch marker on the first stitch of the round.
R1: Into the magic ring, 8 single crochets, then pull the yarn tail to close the ring (8)
R2: inc in each st around (16)
R3: [sc, inc] x 8 (24)
R4: [2 sc, inc] x 8 (32)
R5: sc, [inc, 3 sc] x 7, inc, 2 sc (40)
R6: [4 sc, inc] x 8 (48)
R7: 2 sc, [inc, 5 sc] x 7, inc, 3 sc (56)
Fasten off and cut the yarn. Crochet the second piece, place both pieces with the wrong sides facing each other and crochet them together in a round with 56 single crochet stitches. When you have about 8-10 stitches left to finish, lightly stuff the sun with filling.
Next, without cutting the yarn, crochet the sun rays.
* Skip 1 stitch, then work the following into the next stitch: 1 hdc, 1 dc, chain 3, sl st into the third chain from the hook, 1 dc, and 1 hdc. Skip 1 stitch, then make 1 sl st. Repeat from * 13 more times.
There should be 14 sun rays. Fasten off and cut the yarn. Weave in the end inside.
