• After making a brown one and a lighter colored one, you will crochet the 2 sides of the crochet stingray pattern together with the brown yarn. You will start at the bottom of the eye socket area where you made the shell stitch, and then work your way down and around the sting ray. The tail will be added once this part is done, so don’t worry that we haven't made one yet.
• You want to make 1 sc per row that you made and when you get to the curved bits at the bottom of the fins, you can add 2-3 stitches in the curved corners. This part is all dependent on tension, so if you have a tighter tension you may need more stitches etc. Just make sure the edge doesn't curl or look wavy.

Crochet Stingray Tail:

• Using the brown yarn, attach yarn to the 2nd stitch at the bottom of the stingray and ch x22.
• Then skip a stitch and sc x10, hdc x10, and dc x1. Then sl st to the 3rd stitch at the bottom of the crochet stingray to secure the tail to body. Then fasten off and weave in any ends.

Crochet Syrup:

• Round 1: Make a mr and the nsc x6 into it.
• Round 2: Sc inc in every stitch (12).
• Round 3: Sc inc, sc and then repeat for the rest of the round (18).
• Round 4: This is the round we make the drips so if you want you can follow my steps exactly, or you can have fun and do a little freestyling.
• Ch x4, then in 2nd ch from the hook make a hdc. Hdc x2, make a sl st in the next available stitch in the circle. Sl st again.
• Ch x3, then in 2nd ch from the hook make a hdc. Hdc 1 more time in the next ch. Then make a sl st in the next available stitch in the circle. Sl st 2 more times.
• Ch x2, then in the 2nd stitch make a hdc. Then make a sl st in the next available stitch in the circle. Then sl st 1 more time in the next stitch.

Crochet Butter:

• Row 1: With the yellow yarn, ch x5 and then turn.
• Row 2: In the second ch from the hook make a sc. Sc for the rest of the ch length. Then ch x1 and turn (4).
• Row 3-5: Sc in every stitch (5). Then ch x1. After the 5th row fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Finishing:

• Sew the syrup and butter to the top of the crochet stingray pattern wherever you would like to put it.
• If you are making a phone bag, I suggest taking some of the topaz brown yarn that you used for the top side of the sea pancake pattern to make a running stitch on the sides of the sting rays body to separate the wings from the body. Just make sure that the pocket you create is big enough for a phone (so make the running stitch on the outer edges of where the eye sockets are downwards.
• Add safety eyes to the eye sockets.
• Add a strap - you can optionally buy this or make it. If making it, attach any yarn to the top part of the stingray near its eye and ch x150 (more or less) and then join to the other side.
• Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
• Thank you so much for following along with my crochet stingray pattern! I hope you had as much fun making your sea pancake as I did designing it.
