Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to crocheting a colorful lobster using milk cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook. It covers the entire process from creating the head and body to assembling the detailed shell segments, claws, whiskers, and legs, offering options for both multi-colored and single-color designs.
Hi friends, welcome to my channel. Today I'm gonna show you how to crochet these lobsters.
For these two I used single color and for these two I used rainbow color combination and pastel
color combination. Obviously they both are the same pattern, I just used different color combinations.
You can use your own color combos and make yours. So now let's get started. I'm gonna use this brand
milk cotton with 2.5 mm crochet hook for the whole project. To start I'm gonna use this
coral color. You can use red, orange or any color you want. So first we're gonna make a magic ring.
After making magic ring, make 6 single crochet into that magic ring. I'm gonna mark the first
stitch with stitch marker. After making 6 single crochet, pull the yarn through to close it.
Now we're finished round 1. We're gonna start round 2. So I'm gonna remove the stitch marker
and make 1 single crochet at the first stitch and mark the first stitch with stitch marker.
So in round 2 we're gonna make 6 increase. So I'm gonna make another 1 single crochet at the
same stitch. So this is 1 increase. Physically increase means making 2 stitches in 1.
So I'm gonna make another increase at the next stitch. Now we've got 2 increase. We're gonna
repeat like this until the end. Now we're finished round 2. We're gonna start round 3. So I'm gonna
remove the stitch marker and make 1 single crochet at the first stitch. Mark the first stitch with
stitch marker. So in round 3 we're gonna make 1 single crochet and 1 increase 6 times. I've made
1 single crochet. So I'm gonna make increase at the next stitch. So this is 1 single crochet and
1 increase 1 time. We're gonna repeat like this 5 more times. So at the next stitch make 1
single crochet and increase at the next stitch. Now we've got 2 sets. We're gonna repeat like this
until the end. And now we're finished round 3. We're gonna start round 4. So I'm gonna remove
the stitch marker and make 1 single crochet at the first stitch. Mark the first stitch with stitch
marker. So in round 4 we're gonna make 18 single crochet. I'm making 1 single crochet in each stitch
of the round. Now I finished round 4. We're gonna start round 5. So I'm gonna remove the stitch
marker and make 1 single crochet at the first stitch. Mark the first stitch with stitch marker.
So in round 5 we're gonna make 2 sc and 1 inc 6 times.
So I'm gonna make 2 sc first.
So after making 2 sc we're gonna make inc at the next stitch.
So this is 2 sc and 1 inc 1 time.
We're gonna repeat like this 5 more times.
Now we've got 2 sets.
We're gonna repeat like this until the end.
Now we've finished round 5. We're gonna start round 6.
So I'm gonna remove the stitch marker and make 1 sc at the first stitch.
Mark the first stitch with stitch marker.
So from round 6 to round 12 we're gonna make 24 sc in each round
by making 1 sc in each stitch of each round.
So now I'm at the last stitch of round 12.
So before making the last stitch I'm gonna stop for a while
and attach the eyes.
So we're gonna attach the eyes between round 5 and round 6
with 6 stitches apart.
I'm gonna use this 4mm safety eyes.
We're gonna attach the other eye too.
So now we've finished attaching both eyes.
Make sure the eyes are in the middle.
Now let's continue.
So there is 1 stitch left in round 12.
So at the last stitch of round 12 I'm gonna change color.
So if you're using single color you don't need to do that.
Just continue crocheting normally.
But here I wanna change color.
So I'm gonna pick up the orange color and pull through the yarn.
And that completes round 12.
Now we're gonna start round 13.
So I'm gonna remove the stitch marker and make 1 sc at the first stitch.
Bring along the yarn tails on the hook.
Mark the first stitch with stitch marker.
So in round 13 we're gonna make 1 sc and 1 decrease 8 times.
I've made 1 sc so I'm gonna make decrease at the next 2 stitches.
So to make decrease we're gonna insert the hook into front loop only of next 2 stitches.
Like this.
And then pull through the yarn.
We're gonna bring along the yarn tail on the hook.
Pull the yarn through both loops.
And pull through another 2 loops.
So this is 1 sc and 1 decrease 1 time.

I'm gonna leave the yarn tails here and cut the coral yarn.
And then we're gonna continue.
So at the next stitch I'm gonna make 1 sc.
And then make decrease at the next 2 stitches.

So now I'm at the last stitch.
It is the decrease.
So here we're gonna switch the color to yellow.
