00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,859
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02,859 --> 00:00:05,950
- Hi, it's Twinkie, let's
crochet a cute watermelon.

3
00:00:05,950 --> 00:00:07,679
One of my favorite childhood memories

4
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:09,710
is during the summertime
when my Mom would make

5
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:13,849
these elaborate fruit salads
inside of a watermelon basket,

6
00:00:13,849 --> 00:00:15,810
and while we're not
going to get that fancy,

7
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:18,100
we will be making this
really cute watermelon slice

8
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,390
for any fruit salad.

9
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:20,500
For the watermelon slice,

10
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,760
we'll be covering some
basic crochet techniques.

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,539
We'll work the magic
circle, a slip stitch,

12
00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:26,820
a single crochet stitch,

13
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:28,559
and I'll also show you an easy tip

14
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:31,760
for making your crocheted
semi-circles extra round.

15
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,649
For this delicious watermelon slice

16
00:00:33,649 --> 00:00:37,350
you will need about 40 yards
of a red worsted weight yarn,

17
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:40,109
about 20 yards of a green
worsted weight yarn,

18
00:00:40,109 --> 00:00:42,619
about 20 yards of a white
worsted weight yarn,

19
00:00:42,619 --> 00:00:45,329
and about five yards of a
black worsted weight yarn.

20
00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:47,210
These are all Lion Brand Vanna's Choice

21
00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:50,810
and I'm using scarlet,
fern, white, and black.

22
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:53,539
You also need some polyester stuffing,

23
00:00:53,539 --> 00:00:55,500
a small pair of scissors,

24
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:59,409
an H hook, a tapestry
needle, a stitch marker

25
00:00:59,409 --> 00:01:02,320
or small piece of scrap
yarn in a contrasting color,

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,239
some straight pins, and don't forget

27
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:05,739
to print out your PDF pattern.
