Introduction

Hello friends and welcome to my channel! In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to crochet a cute character from the popular children's show, Bluey. Today, we will be making Bingo, the lovable little sister of Bluey. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of crocheting Bingo from start to finish. So, grab your yarn and crochet hook, and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Dark and light brown color yarn
• Beige, white, and black yarn
• Thinner black yarn for embroidering
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• 8mm safety eyes
• Darning needle
• Bobby pins
• Stitch marker
• Toy stuffing
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun (optional)

Now that we have everything we need, let's dive into the crocheting process!

Crocheting the Eye Patches

We'll start by crocheting the eye patches of Bingo. To do this, we'll be using white color yarn and the safety eyes. Here's how to crochet the eye patches:

1. Make a magic ring and crochet six single crochet stitches into it.
2. Increase in each of the six single crochet stitches from the previous round.
3. Crochet a slip stitch in the first two stitches, then crochet a single crochet in the next two stitches.
4. Crochet a single crochet plus one half double crochet in the next two stitches, followed by an increase in each of the next two stitches.
5. Crochet one half double crochet plus one single crochet in the next stitch, then crochet a single crochet in the next two stitches.
6. Make a slip stitch, finish with a slip stitch, and leave a long tail for sewing.

Once the eye patches are crocheted, pin the safety eyes in the lower part of each eye patch. You can also use a hot glue gun to secure the safety eyes in place.

Crocheting the Head and Body

Next, we'll crochet the head and body of Bingo. The head and body will be crocheted as one piece using light brown and dark brown color yarn. Here's how to do it:

1. Start with the light brown color yarn and chain 14 stitches.
2. In the second round, make an increase in the second stitch away from the hook, then crochet a single crochet in the next 11 stitches.
3. In the next stitch, crochet three single crochet stitches.
4. Crochet a single crochet in the next 11 stitches, finishing with a single crochet in the last stitch.
5. For the third round, crochet three single crochet stitches in the first stitch, followed by two single crochet stitches in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round, ending with two single crochet stitches in the last stitch. You should have a total of 36 stitches.
6. From the fourth round to the sixteenth round, crochet a single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.
7. At this point, stuff the head and body a little and then change to dark brown color yarn.
8. Crochet six rounds without any increases or decreases, making a single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.
9. Starting from the twenty-second round, we'll begin making decreases. Crochet a single crochet in the first five stitches, followed by a decrease. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round, ending with a single crochet. You should now have 36 stitches.
10. Stuff the head and body a little more.
11. Crochet two rounds without any decreases, making a single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.
12. In the twenty-sixth round, crochet a single crochet in the first four stitches, followed by a decrease. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round, ending with a single crochet. You should now have 30 stitches.
13. Insert the safety eyes between rounds 20 and 21, securing them in place. You can also use a hot glue gun for extra security.
14. For the twenty-seventh round, crochet a single crochet in the first three stitches, followed by a decrease. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round.
15. Continue decreasing by crocheting a single crochet in the first two stitches, followed by a decrease. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round, ending with a single crochet. You should now have 18 stitches.
16. Crochet a single crochet in the first stitch, followed by a decrease. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round, ending with a single crochet. You should now have 12 stitches.
17. Stuff the head and body a little more.
18. For the last round, make two decreases, then make a slip stitch. Leave a long tail for sewing.
19. Use a darning needle to tighten the remaining stitches.

Now that we have the head and body crocheted, let's move on to the next part.

Crocheting the Snout

The next part we'll be crocheting is the snout of Bingo. We'll be using beige and light brown color yarn for this. Here's how to crochet the snout:

5. Crochet two rounds without any increases, making a single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.
6. Change to light brown color yarn and crochet one more round with single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.
7. Now we'll crochet in rows instead of rounds. Crochet a single crochet in the first three stitches, then chain one and turn.
8. For the next row, crochet an increase in the first stitch, followed by a single crochet in the next stitch. Make a single crochet in the last stitch and chain one. Turn.
