Abbreviations:
ch – chain
R – round or row
sc – single crochet
Number x sc – the number tells you how many times you make a single crochet in each stitch
inc - make two single crochet in one stitch
dec - two stitches crochet together with a sc
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
BLO: back loops only
Note:
- The seahorse is crocheted in rows. Ch 1 and turn at the end of each row.
- Do not crochet the seahorse with invisible decrease. Crochet the regular decrease: Insert
your hook into the stitch and pull the yarn. Insert hook into next stitch and pull. Yarn over,
pull the yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
- It is important that your work is as tight as you can make it, because you don’t want to see
the stuffing through your work. If you see holes try working with a tighter tension or go
down a hook size.
- Yarn ends do not need to be sewn; you can hide them inside the seahorse

Once the tail has been crocheted, start stuffing and then stuff
continuously. Put in the safety eyes or embroider them after
completion.
sc, 2 x ch, sc in first ch, sc into the same stitch onto the body, see diagram:
then 2 x inc,
now crochet a point again - repeat this approximately 11-12 times. It
depends on with how many stitches you have crocheted the two parts of
the seahorse together.
After the last point, crochet 2 x sc and then start with the dorsal fin,
which is directly crocheted to the body. See picture for the position of
the dorsal fin.
Dorsal fin:
8 x ch, turn
R 01 dc into the 4th chain from hook, 2 x hdc, 2 x sc,
sl st in the next stitch on the body of the seahorse, ch, turn
R 02 BLO: skip the sl st, then 2 x sc, 2 x hdc, 2 x dc, ch, turn
R 03 BLO: 3 x ch, dc, 2 x hdc, 2 x sc, sl st into the next stitch on the body, ch, turn

R 04: BLO: skip first stitch, 2 x sc, 2 x hdc, 2 x dc, ch, turn
R 05: BLO: 3 x ch, dc, 2 x hdc, 2 x sc, sl st on the body
2 x sc, then make another point (sc, 2 x ch, sc in first ch, sc into the same stitch on the body),
then repeat: 2 x sc, crochet a point, 2 x sc
repeat this about 7 times, until you reach the back of the head, there we start with the
"crown":
The stitches, which are connected with +, are crocheted in one stitch:
crochet the crown 3 x, sl st, cut the yarn and sew it.
Now you only have to embroider the eye and your seahorse is finished ♥
