Can Beginners Crochet This Stingray Pattern?
Ralph the Ray is a small amigurumi project that comes to life with the use of basic stitches like single crochet and half double crochet. The straightforward instructions make it an ideal choice for beginners and those looking for a quick, rewarding experience.
You build this tiny toy by crocheting two identical panels in rows and sewing them together. This simple technique allows you to make a cute ragdoll-styled softie.
Tools & Materials You’ll Need
To complete this crochet keychain pattern, you will need a hook, a bit of yarn, and a few additional supplies. The sample seen in the photos was made with Bernat Handicrafter cotton worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook.
For stuffing, you can use polyester fiberfill or yarn scraps left from your last projects. Prepare also your favorite tapestry needle to sew your amigurumi and two safety eyes (if you don’t have any, you can embroider them instead).
To make your stingray plushie safely attached to your key, bag, or backpack, you will need a keychain ring.
Customize Ralph for Extra Charm
There are many ways to personalize this cute crochet animal. If the traditional grey-colored look seems too boring to you, go for some bold, intense shades that will make your keychain buddy really hard to miss. Would like to add some girly touch? Add eyelashes and a cute flower pin. Sounds like a lot of fun, right? Now it’s your turn!
