As a continuation from my previous tutorial on how to crochet an oval, this time it’s a simple extension into making an ovoid shape! It is making the flat 2D oval into a 3D oval which can be stuffed and sewn onto amigurumis!

How to crochet an ovoid - foundation chain and crochet around

The pattern is as follows: 

Round 1: Ch4, sc2, 3sc1, go around chain, sc1, 2sc1 – 8st

Round 2: Sc3, 2sc1, sc3, 2sc1 – 10st

Round 3: Sc10 – 10st

Round 4: Repeat round 3 – 10st

The first 2 rounds are actually the same as the oval tutorial, so to see those steps in further detail (they are summarized below), check out the oval tutorial here.

To see the whole process in video form which might be easier for some, please check out the video at the bottom of this tutorial.

Start with a shorter chain of 4. To make a flatter and longer ovoid shape, start off with a longer chain. Continue to sc2 down row and then 3sc1 at the bend, as in step 3. 

After going around chain, continue to sc1, 2sc1 with total 8st in round.

Round 2: Sc3, 2sc1, sc3, 2sc1 – 10st

Step 6 is after going around the bend and crocheting into the other side of the foundation chain. It is basically going to continue in rounds around the base foundation chain. 

Continuing into round 3, it’s just single crochet all around in step 7. Then step 8 is repeating the same process. Depending on how elongated you want the oval to go, continue into subsequent rounds with single crochet all around. 

This is the very method I used to make Bugs Bunny’s fat cheeks! I stuffed it full so it appears very full! How his cheeks turned out in different angles, lol.
