DIY: Amigurumi Tangerine

Hello people! This is my first post in 2012, I hope you had a nice celebration, made (or not) some New Year Resolutions to yourself and are happy to start a new year, new opportunity to try something new and improve yourself! ~~

I decided to make a new DIY tutorial since I made a cute Amigurumi tangerine today. >w< The thought about making a tangerine went from the hate my boyfriend has against tangerines. XD So I decided to troll him a bit and make one. ＼(o￣∇￣o)/

EDIT: I gave him this tangerine yesterday and he was so surprised! He kept giggling about the fact that I made it because he hates them…hahaha. XD

Tangerine

Use a so called ‘snail crochet’, meaning that you shouldn’t connect rounds with slip stitches.

Abbreviations:
sc – single crochet
st – stitch
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet
dc – double crochet

Make a magic ring and crochet 6 scs.
Round 1: Make 2scs in each st. [12sts]
Round 2: Make 2scs in every second st. [18sts]
Round 3: Work with sc in each st. [18sts]
Round 4: Make 2scs in every third st. [24sts]
Round 5: Work with sc in each st. [24sts]
Round 6: Make 2scs in every fourth st. [30sts]
Round 7: Work with sc in each st. [30sts]
Round 8: Make 2scs in every fifth st. [36sts]
Round 9: Work with sc in each st. [36sts]
Round 10: Make 2scs in every sixth st. [42sts]
Round 11: Work with sc in each st. [42sts]
Round 12: Make 2scs in every sixth (again) st. [48sts]
Round 13-15: Work with sc in each st. [48sts]
Round 16-28: Do everything backwards.
Don’t forget to stuff it. But don’t stuff too hard!! Because you want to make a little fold like this:

Fasten off when there’s 6sts left.
