Ditto
You are going to start at the bottom by making 3 circles and then attaching them together
Little circle x1
1. 6sc in mr (6)
2. Inc in each st (12)
3. Inc, sc, repeat around (18)
4. Inc, 2sc, repeat around (24)
5. Inc, 3sc, repeat around (30)
6. Sc in each st (30)
Slst and tie off, leaving a short tail
Big circle x2
1. 7sc in mr (7)
2. Inc in each st (14)
3. Inc, sc, repeat around (21)
4. Inc, 2sc, repeat around (28)
5. Inc, 3sc, repeat around (35)
6. Sc in each st (35)
Slst, tie off and leave a short tail. Repeat these steps to make a second circle but do NOT tie the 2nd circle off, instead you are going to continue to round 7 where you will link the 3 circles together
Line up your 3 circles with the 2 bigger ones on the outside and the smaller one on the inside
For round 7 you are going to crochet around the outside of all 3 circles (see red arrows in photo), leaving 4 unworked stitches between each circle that you will sew closed later (see stitch markers in photo)
Body
Continuing on from 3rd circle
7. 15sc, 11sc in middle circle, 31sc in last circle, 11sc in middle circle, 16sc in first circle (84)
8-11. 84sc (84)
Before continuing on you want to take a bit of spare yarn and quickly sew up the 4 unworked stitches between each circle, see photo
12. Dec, 10sc, repeat around (77)
13. 34sc, dec, 5sc, dec, 34sc (75)
14. Dec, 13sc, repeat around (70)
15. 26sc, dec, 5sc, dec, 5sc, dec, 28sc (67)
16. 4sc, dec, 23sc, dec, 7sc, Dec, 23sc, dec, 2sc (63)
17. Dec, 7sc, repeat around (56)
In the next round the stitches in brackets are to be repeated 5 times
18. (Dec, 9sc)x5, sc (51)
19. 25sc, dec, 24sc (50)
20. Dec, 8sc, repeat around (45)
21-24. Sc in each st (45)
25. Dec, 7sc, repeat around (40)
26. Sc in each st (40)
Stuff Ditto's body
In the next round you will be splitting the top into 2 parts by making a chain though the middle which will form the 2 bumps on dittos head
27. 15sc, ch10, skip 15st, 10sc (35)
Now you will be working on the bigger bump so you will only be working on one side of the chain and ignoring the 15 stitches you skipped in the last round, which you will work into later
28. 15sc, 10sc in chain, 10sc (35)
29. Dec, 5sc, repeat around (30)
30. Sc in each st (30)
30. Dec, 4sc, repeat around (25)
31. Dec, 3sc, repeat around (20)
32. Dec, 2sc, repeat around (15)
33. Dec, sc, repeat around (10)
34. 3dec, slst, leave the remaining stitches unworked (4)
Tie off, close up and don't forget to weave in the tail
Start stuffing the big bump
Next you will be making the smaller bump on Dittos head by going back to the unworked stitches from round 27. Tie a slip knot on your hook then insert it into the first unworked stitch, this is where you'll start the next round
Small Bump
1. Slst, 14sc, 10sc in unworked side of the chain (25)
2. Dec, 3sc, repeat around (20)
3. Sc in each st (20)
Add some more stuffing
4. Dec, 2sc, repeat around (15)
5. Dec, sc, repeat around (10)
6. 3dec, slst, leave the remaining stitches unworked (4)
Tie off, finish stuffing and close up. Don't forget to weave in your tail
Arms
For the arms you are going to make one slightly bigger than the other
Arm 1
1. 5sc in mr (5)
2. Inc in each st (10)
3. Inc, sc, repeat around (15)
4. Inc, 14sc (16)
5-7. Sc in each st (16)
Slst and tie off, leaving a tail long enough for sewing
Arm 2
1. 6sc in mr (6)
2. Inc in each st (12)
3. Inc, sc, repeat around (18)
4-7. Sc in each st (18)
Slst and tie off, leaving a tail long enough for sewing
Now you just have to sew the arms onto the sides of Ditto's body, I try to sew it right in the curve of his body. See photo for reference
Last but not least you have to make Ditto's smile. Take some black yarn and sew a horizontal line roughly one round below his eyes, then shape it into a slight smile
You should now have a finished Ditto!
