Ketupat Plush Toy / Decoration (Tunisian Stitch)

 This decorative Ketupat is crochet with 5 ply yarn and 4 mm hook using the Tunisian stitches. The lines of the Tunisian stitch makes it look more like a real Ketupat that was weaved with leaves. The one I made was as big as my palm and if you wish to make a smaller one, use 3 ply yarn and smaller hook. 





Here is the tutorial video :



We start by crocheting the lighter colour yarn for box 1. Chain 7, 2nd chain from hook, we yarn over and leave yarn on hook and do the same to all the 7 chain. The last one on the hook we yarn over and put thru 1 yarn, then put thru 2, and 2 and 2 until the end of the line. 

On row 2, we put hook thru the vertical line from row 1, yarn over and leave yarn on hook. Continue until the end of the row. The last one, we yarn over and put thru 1, then put thru 2, and 2 and 2 until you have completed the whole row.

Continue in the same manner for 5 rows, all in. After the 5th row, we put hook thru the vertical line on the row below it and do a slip stitch this time. Continue to put hook thru the next vertical line and do a slip stitch. Do the same for the whole row. 

Cut the yarn and start making box 2 with a darker colour yarn. Make a knot and joined the knot to a corner of the 1st box. Chain 6 and continue the Tunisian stitch. When we reach the end of each row, make one stitch to box 1 to join them together. Do the same on each row. At the end do slip stitches and join to box 1 and start a new box on top of box 1. 




For the top corner loop that we make for hanging (optional), we make 18 rows of Tunisian stitches. As for the 2 tail, we do 7 rows of Tunisian stitches and then chain 4, slip stitch on the 2nd stitch from hook, follow by a single crochet on the 3rd stitch and a half double crochet on the 4th stitch. Joined to the 3rd vertical line on previous row. Do a chain 4 again and a slip stitch on the 2nd stitch from hook, a single crochet on the 3rd stitch and a half double crochet on the 4th stitch. 

Sew it up and don't forget to add filling before completely sewing it all together. Hope my video had helped you make lovely ketupats. Don't forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel and follow me on Facebook, Shopee, Instagram and Tiktok. Thank you.
