Dear friends!
I suggest you go to the wonderful world of magic in loops. Do not be afraid
to experiment – make your own adjustments. Good is the student who surpasses
his teacher. Let smooth loops and the results of your crocheted magic bring joy and
inspire you to create new masterpieces.

PLEASANT CROCHETING!

MATERIALS AND TOOLS:


 Main plush yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby:
 1-1,5 skein of white color for body – of № 80301
 1 skein of pink color for wings – of № 80319
 some coral color for beak and legs – of № 80332
 some powdery color for flower – of № 80353
 Semi-cotton or acrylic yarn to match the main one for sewing details (I sew with
plush yarn)
 Strong black yarn for eye embroidery – at your discretion (I used Alize Forever
№ 60 acrylic)
 Polyester filler – holofiber
 Crochet hook:
 size № 3,5-4,5 mm – for Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn – depending on
preference (I used size 4 mm)
 Needle for sewing details
 Scissors
 Markers to mark important places

IMPORTANT:
1. For crocheting a toy, you can use any plush yarn and a suitable crochet hook.
2. The hook is selected individually. The crocheted fabric must be dense enough,
otherwise the filler will show through the fabric.
3. The toy is crocheted IN A SPIRAL. The rows are not connected to each other,
if this is not indicated in the description.
4. Use a marker or contrasting thread to identify the beginning of the row.
5. Stitches are crocheted in both loops of stitches of previous row, unless
otherwise specified.
6. If necessary, crochet a shift stitch, if such is indicated in the pattern – depends
on the individual crocheting density.

When using Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn


and hook size 4 mm (tight crocheting),
the toy comes out about
23 cm (9,05 in) in size

BEAK:
 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in coral color, with a crochet hook size № 4.
 Marker is in the center of the side of the beak. If necessary, crochet a shifting stitch to
be in the center. Shifting stitch is individual and depends on yarn and crocheting density.
 Combinations, highlighted in blue, should be located relatively on the center of the front
part of the beak.

1. Make 4 ch. Start crocheting in the second ch from the hook – 3 sc, continue crocheting on the
second side of chain – 3 sc (6)
2. 6 sc (6)
3. inc, 1 sc, inc, 3 sc (8)
4. 8 sc (8)
5. 2 sc, 3 sc into 1, 5 sc (10)
6. 10 sc (10)
7. 2 sc, 3 sc into 1, 7 sc (12)
8. 3 sc, 3 sc into 1, 4 sc, 3 slst – on this finish crocheting this row (do not crochet 1 loop from
the row ) (14)
 When crocheting the last slst, change coral color thread to the white color thread.
 Put holofiber into the beak.
 Next move on to crochet the head.
~5~

HEAD+NECK+BODY:
 Crochet the head around the beak with Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn in white color, with a
crochet hook size № 4.
 Stuff the legs with filler as you crochet. Distribute the filler well. The lower part of the head
and body has a flat shape – keep this in mind when filling! If you fill neck poorly, it may fall.
 Optional – you can use a wire frame.
 Combinations, highlighted in blue, should be located relatively on the center of the front
part of the head.
 All SLST should be located relatively on the center of the bottom part of the head.

IMPORTANT!!!
 The last loop of each row should be located in the center of the lower part of
the head!!! The marker passes next to this loop. There is 5 slst in the lower part of
the head: the 3rd loop from this combination is the center of the lower part of the head
(yellow marker in the photo for orientation – will not be used when crocheting), on the
4th loop from this combination we set a marker (purple marker – the main).
 If necessary, crochet a shifting stitch. Shifting stitch is crochet with sc
BEFORE COMBINATION with SLST. If you see that as a result of crocheting
a row, the marker will shift, then at the end of the end of this row, before
crocheting SLST, you need to crochet SC, and then crochet the SLST
according to the scheme.
 Shifting stitch is individual and depends on yarn and crocheting density..

For example:
3rd row: 2 slst, inc, 6 sc, 7 hdc, 6 sc, inc, 1 shifting stitch with SC, 3 slst (26)

1. 2 slst, inc, 2 sc, 1 hdc, 5 hdc into 1, 1 hdc, 2 sc, inc, 3 slst (20)

slst (22)

3 stitch together with slst (18)
11. 1 slst, 2 sc, dec, 1 sc, 5 hdc, 1 sc, dec, 2 sc, – remove marker (move it 1 stitch forward), crochet 3
stitch together with slst (14)
~7~

12. 1 slst, 3 sc, 5 hdc, 3 sc, – remove marker (move it 1 stitch forward), crochet 3 stitch together
with slst (12)
13. 1 slst, 2 sc, 5 hdc, 2 sc, 2 slst (12)

14. 1 slst, 2 sc, 5 hdc, 2 sc, 1 slst, back loop only – 1 slst (I advise you to put markers on the back
loops so as not to lose them) (12)

15. 1 slst, 2 sc, 5 hdc, 2 sc, 2 slst (12)


16. 1 slst, 3 sc, 3 hdc, 3 sc, 2 slst (12)
17. 1 slst, 4 sc, 1 hdc, 4 sc, 1 slst, 1 slst, grabbing the back loop of the stitch, left in the 14th row (as
shown in the photo) (12), remove the marker, crochet another 5-6 sc, to reach the center
of the back of the neck, set the marker.
~8~

 The MARKER now runs down the center of the BACK OF THE NECK, moving
to the CENTER OF THE BACK. If necessary, crochet a shifting stitch to be in the
center. Shifting stitch is individual and depends on yarn and crocheting density.

 Combinations, highlighted in red, should be located relatively on the center of the


inner part of the neck – from the side of the head.

certain combinations. Wings are tied along them at the end of the crocheting of the body.

the absence of the required number/ color of markers, navigate visually along the canvas
or use thread segments as a marker.
