Is this pattern sutible for a 4.0mm hook and non bulky yarn

After three days of failure, I was finally able to complete one of these little guys as my first ever crochet project! Perfect for beginners tbh, my slow pace was mostly because I had to spend a lot of time figuring out what the stitches actually were.

I'm excited, and I'm going to have a great time making more of these little guys for my friends.

I've made about ten of these little guys already! Friends keep telling me to make something different but I refuse! They're too cute!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 😁

I made this with velvet yarn and it's so stinking cute!!! I also tucked all of my tails in while I stitched the top and bottom together. SO fast! Loved it

I’ve been crocheting for a week and managed to make this cute stingray in mint green. The hardest part for me is R1 and R2. I find it so fiddly, I’ve undone my yarn so many times, incredibly frustrating. Thank you for this video tutorial, the end result is very cute

[lucasyoungers]

I made this with standard weight yarn and a 4mm hook. It turned out super well! I might use a 3.5 or 3 mm hook for standard weight yarn for anyone else who tries this, but even with the slightly-too big hook I love how it turned out. Thank you so much for the wonderful pattern!

[coolcatkitten]

This was in fact actually a quick and super mega-easy pattern, though I would consider myself an intermediate crocheter, I would say this was very beginner-friendly! I love it!

[wspgaiily]

Only crocheted once. Will do this now. Will give update. See you guys in 2 weeks 😂 for that’s how long it will take me to follow along this video to my crotcheting skills

[jjgrammy]

I’m glad I found this tutorial! Using regular cotton yarn with a 3.0 hook size. Thank you for sharing this with us!❤

[claire-fmqn]

Made my second ever plush with this tutorial and fell in LOVE his name is Marvin and I love him dearly, thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial!!!

[gigipanini]

This pattern is so cute! I was searching the internet for a stingray pattern, and I found this!! It’s so perfect and adorable, I think i just found my new crochet hyper fixation.

[annamm]

I did a few arugummi pieces which didn’t turned out quite good, but I continued to try but it was hard to keep motivation. This was the first piece which came out nearly perfect and it made me so happy, to keep going. The start was maybe a bit difficult and if it doesn’t look good, just continue !!

[clicksandcrochets]

Finally! Someone who crochets like me! I loop my yarn from the front instead of from behind too lol! Every video I’ve ever watched loops from behind

[elooo]

This video is so easy and clear and i LOVE IT. Im using it for the third time to make a baby stingray for my baby cousin who might be born today! HE WAS BORN YESTERDAY ❤❤

[Gigi_dragoncatz]
