Hey there its time for the Tuesday tutorial and again I'm with a unique bellies pattern. It happens to be the most easiest and the simplest of all.
My next blog posts will be featuring a unisex slouchy beanie on which I'm working now and a cute finger less gloves that I'm already done with.
According to me crochet bellies are good for beginners in crocheting to get hold of things. Really.
SKILLS REQUIRED

Spike Stitch.
Single Crochet.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL

Your favourite coloured yarn. I used Galaxy green and a dull veridian green in this pattern.

Dbl st=Double Stitch.
Sn st=Single stitch.

How to make a spike?
Step1:
To make a spike stitch it is important to have atleast 3 rows of either single crochets or double crochets to work the spike.
We start from the 4th row.
1. Make 6 single crochet stitches.
2. Skip 1 stitch and put stitch marker in the next stitch.
3. The skipped stitch i.e. the 7th stitch is the center of the spike stitch.
4. Count over 2 stitches over right and 1 row down. i.e. under the 5th single crochet stitch just made.
5. With yarn over your hook, insert hook in the marked stitch (2 st's right and 1 row down). Wrap yarn over hook and pull through. You will have 3 loops on the hook.
6. Now count 1 stitch over right and 2 rows down, i.e. under 6th single crochet stitch.
7. With yarn over your hook, insert hook in the marked stitch (1 st right and 2 rows down). Wrap yarn over hook and pull through. You will have 5 loops on the hook.
8. The third spike is worked straight 3 rows down. Directly under the skipped stitch.
9. With yarn over your hook, insert hook in the stitch that is straight 3 rows down. Wrap yarn over hook and pull through. You will have 7 loops on the hook. That is 3 spikes done. Now 2 more are left.
10.We move to the left now. Count 1 stitch towards left from center of the spike and 2 down.
11. With yarn over your hook, insert hook in the marked stitch (1 st left and 2 rows down). Wrap yarn over hook and pull through. You will have 9 loops on the hook.
12. Count 2 to the left from center of the spike and 1 row down.
13. With yarn over your hook, insert hook in the marked stitch (2 st's left and 1 row down). Wrap yarn over hook and pull through. You will have 11 loops on the hook.
14. Yarn over and pull through all the loops.
15. Chain 1 to close the stitch.
16. Work your next single crochet into the first marked stitch of the row.
17. Make another one after 6 single crochets.
18. You can increase or decrease the number of spikes as per your wish.

I made spikes around the crocheted bellies. Don't they look cool?
