Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! In this tutorial, we will continue working on our crocheted sloth. We are currently at the end of round six, with 30 stitches around. In the upcoming rounds, we will be increasing the number of stitches and shaping the sloth's body. Let's dive in!

Round 6: Increasing Stitches

To start round seven, we'll need to do four single crochets into each stitch. Begin by single crocheting into the first stitch, then move on to the second, third, and fourth stitches. Repeat this process until you have completed four single crochets in every stitch around. By the end of round seven, you should have 36 stitches around.

Round 7: Four Single Crochets

In round eight, we will continue with a simple pattern of single crochets. Working one single crochet into each stitch around, maintain the same number of stitches from the previous round. After completing round eight, you should still have 36 stitches.

Round 8: Single Crochets

Moving on to round nine, it's time for another increase. Start by doing five single crochets, one in each stitch. Then, in the next stitch, perform an increase by working two single crochets. Repeat this pattern six times around, and you should have 42 stitches by the end of round nine.

Round 9: Another Increase

Round ten is all about single crochets. Work one single crochet into each stitch around, making sure to maintain the same number of stitches. By the end of round ten, you should still have 42 stitches.

Round 10: Single Crochets

For round eleven, we'll repeat a pattern similar to the one we used in round nine. Start by doing six single crochets, one in each stitch. Then, in the next stitch, perform an increase. Repeat this pattern six times around, and you should have 48 stitches by the end of round eleven.

Round 11: Repetitive Increase Pattern

In round twelve, we'll go back to the simple pattern of single crochets. Work one single crochet into each stitch around, maintaining the same number of stitches. By the end of round twelve, you should still have 48 stitches.

Round 12: Single Crochets

Continuing with the increase pattern, round thirteen requires us to do seven single crochets, one in each stitch. Then, in the next stitch, perform an increase by working two single crochets. Repeat this pattern six times around, and you should have 54 stitches by the end of round thirteen.

Round 13: Increasing Stitches Again

For rounds fourteen and fifteen, we'll go back to single crochets. Simply work one single crochet into each stitch around, maintaining the same number of stitches. By the end of round fifteen, you should still have 60 stitches.

Rounds 14 and 15: Single Crochets

Round sixteen and seventeen are once again focused on single crochets. Work one single crochet into each stitch around, making sure to maintain the same number of stitches. By the end of round seventeen, you should still have 60 stitches.

Round 16 and 17: Single Crochets

Entering round eighteen, we will continue increasing. Start by doing eight single crochets, one in each stitch. Then, in the next stitch, perform an increase. Repeat this pattern six times around, and you should have 66 stitches by the end of round eighteen.

Round 18: Continuing the Increase

For rounds nineteen and twenty, we'll go back to the familiar pattern of single crochets. Work one single crochet into each stitch around, maintaining the same number of stitches. By the end of round twenty, you should still have 66 stitches.

Rounds 19 and 20: Single Crochets

In conclusion, we have covered the various rounds and techniques required to build the body of our crocheted sloth. Make sure to count your stitches regularly to ensure accuracy. In the next tutorial, we will continue with round 21 and further shape the sloth's body. Stay tuned!
