February 2021 Pattern of the Month Crochet

 

At My House

February 2021 Pattern of the Month Crochet 


 

3 Color Ferret Toy @2009 by Michelle Thomas 


Note; In this project you will be crocheting in the loops of both sides of the foundation chain I have referred to all loops as chains, but remember there will be 8 loops that have stitches in the first round.  Do not join rounds, this is an amigurumi project.  Amigurumi is very forgiving, so if you project has more or less stitches when finished it will not matter, and my ferrets have never once complained if I have to increase or decrease to make one side fit to the next side.

Make 3 sides in 3 different colors.  Ferrets like contrast, (I put white, a dark color and a medium color for contrast) but these can be made from your scrap yarn for any pet.  Use a size G or H hook (larger hook for a larger toy), or experiment with 2 strands or by adding more of the oval shapes to make any shape or size toy.

Rnd 1: Chain 5, 2 sc in 2nd chain from hook, 1 sc in next 2 chains, 5 sc in last chain (I usually put 3 in one side and 2 in the other side of the end chain this will put you on the opposite side of the foundation chain) 1 sc in each of next 2 chains 3 sc in last chain,  (do not join) total 14 sc.

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, 2 sc in each of the next 3 sc, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sc, 2 sc in next st, total of 20 sc.

Rnd 3:  1 sc in next st *2 sc in next 1 sc in next* repeat from * to * one time.  1 sc in each of next 4 sts, 2 *sc in next, 1 sc in next repeat from * to * twice.   1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, 2 sc in next sl st in next stitch and cut yarn leave about 16 to 20 inches or leave loop in work for joining later total of 26 sts.

Joining notes:  Make 3 different colors and join with sl st to one long side of the next piece. By using the long tail or by leaving the yarn attached you can join with less yarn ends to tie off later and determine which of your color choices you want to use to join. 

Joining:  Insert hook into loop of first oval, hold 2 oval pieces wrong sides together, chain 1 insert hook into the back loop of each of the 2 different color oval, sl st, repeat for half of the stitches.  This joins 2 sides in half of the stitches.   With hook still in work, you can now attach the 3rd piece to the 2nd piece in the same method.   Add a small amount of stuffing and close the remaining side in the same manner.

Add a small amount of stuffing when piece is almost closed. 

I usually don't work in the ends but once I have attached 2 oval together I let the ends hang out for tassels on each end of the toy.  I simply tie the lose yarn ends together add bells or other bits of ribbon, and crochet thread is great for attaching bells.  

Embellishments: My ferrets seem to like bells and bits of yarn as a tassel for the ends of these toys.  I have used crochet thread to tie the bells on to the ends of the toys.
