Introduction to the October Call 2021

Welcome to the fifth part of the October Call 2021, a crochet tutorial series hosted by Veronica, the crochet designer and craft teacher behind Gog Newton. In this video, Veronica will show you how to crochet the wings for our secret amigurumi project. If you prefer written instructions, a PDF pattern is available in the description.

Materials Needed for the Secret Amigurumi Project

Before we start making the wings, let's gather all the materials we'll need for the secret amigurumi project. You'll need:

1. Yarn in the desired colors
2. Crochet hooks in the appropriate size
3. Stuffing
4. Scissors
5. Yarn needle

Make sure you have all these materials ready before proceeding to the next step.

Making the Small Triangles for the Wings

To create the wings, we'll start by making three small triangles. Each triangle will be crocheted separately and then joined together. Follow these steps to make the triangles:

1. Begin with a magic circle and make three single crochets.
2. Increase three times in the next row to have a total of six single crochets.
3. Continue to increase in the third row, adding one single crochet and one increase three times to have a total of nine stitches.
4. Crochet two single crochets and one increase in the fourth row to have a total of 12 stitches.
5. In the fifth row, crochet five single crochets and one increase, repeating this pattern twice to end with 14 stitches.

Repeat these steps to create two additional triangles. Make sure to weave in the ends of the first two triangles while keeping the yarn attached to the third one.

Crocheting the Triangles Together

Now that we have three small triangles, it's time to crochet them together. Follow these instructions to join the triangles and form the wings:

1. Start with the triangle still attached to the yarn and crochet seven single crochets.
2. Move to the second triangle and crochet seven single crochets.
3. Jump back to the first triangle and crochet seven single crochets.
4. Crochet seven more single crochets around the first triangle to have a total of 14 stitches.
5. Move to the middle triangle and crochet seven single crochets.
6. Jump to the last triangle and crochet seven single crochets.

You should now have attached the small triangles together, resulting in a total of 42 stitches.

Shaping the Wings

To shape the wings, we will continue crocheting in rows. Follow these steps to shape the wings:

1. Decrease in the beginning of the seventh row, followed by 38 single crochets and another decrease at the end.
2. Crochet 40 single crochets in the next row.
3. Decrease in the beginning of the ninth row, followed by 34 single crochets and another decrease at the end.
4. Crochet 34 single crochets in the next row.
5. Decrease in the beginning of the eleventh row, followed by 32 single crochets and another decrease at the end.
6. Crochet 32 single crochets in the next row.
7. Crochet 34 single crochets in the next row.
8. Decrease in the beginning of the thirteenth row, followed by 30 single crochets and another decrease at the end.
9. Crochet 30 single crochets in the next row.
10. Crochet 32 single crochets in the next row.
11. Decrease in the beginning of the fifteenth row, followed by 28 single crochets and another decrease at the end.
12. Crochet 28 single crochets in the next row.
13. Crochet 30 single crochets in the next row.
14. Decrease in the beginning of the seventeenth row, followed by 26 single crochets and another decrease at the end. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
