Manta Ray

Manta Rays are gentle giants, the

biggest of the rays. They sweep through

oceans scooping up plankton and little

fish, before pulling up to the Manta

wash, where little fishes provide a spring

clean for a free meal. Mantas are clever

and very curious, even popping out of

the water to take a look at our world. If

you love Finding Nemo, you might also

know they make excellent teachers.

You will need:

¤<25g of Dark Blue, and < 25g of White DK Weight Yarn ( I used RYC Bamboo soft(blue) and

Sirdar Baby Bamboo(Ivory))

¤2 10mm Safety Eyes

¤A Scrap of Pink Felt

The Manta Ray is worked entirely in single crochet.

Body

Chain 10 + 1 for turning.

Row 1- 4: 4 rows using a turning chain (10 stitches in each row).

For the next 21 rows, increase each row by 2 stitches. These extra

stitches are put into the first and last stitch. Put 2 stitches in the first stitch

and 2 in the last.

Row 5: Crochet 2 single stitches in the first chain, then 1 single stitch in

each of the next 9 chain stitches, 2 single crochets in the 10 th . Chain 1

as a turning chain.

Row 6: Crochet 2 single stitches in the first chain, then 1 single stitch in

the next 10 chain stitches then 2 single crochet in the 12 th . Chain 1 as a

turning chain.

Row 7 - 25(Continue with this for the next 18 rows) Cast off

¤A Scrap of Pink Felt

¤Pipe Cleaners

Tail

Fold the Manta ray body in half . Mark the centre point (Use a little bit

of yarn pulled through).

Crochet into the back edge of the manta ray 4 stitches on each side

of the centre point

1- 4: Crochet 4 rows of 8 single stitches ( using a turning chain to keep

the same number of stitches on each row.)

5 -11: For the next 7 rows do not use a turning chain so that each row

reduces by one.

With just one loop on hook, chain 22. This makes the long part of the

tail.

Side 2: Repeat the instructions for the body and tail in the dark colour.

Now you should have the 2 parts of the manta ray, one light and dark.

Crochet into any ragged edges (1 row of single crochet around the

edge), around the tail, the wings and mouth, to give a smooth edge.

This also thickens the tail and makes it one crochet stitch wide.

Eyes: Secure safety eyes. I sewed on outlines with some of ivory yarn.

Mouth: Sew a piece of pink felt on to each mouth part of the manta

ray. You may need to cut a hole for the backs of the eyes.

Making it bendy: Sew pipe cleaner in a T shape on the edges of the

wing and the tail.

Now stuff and sew the edges together: I like using a thread in the

lighter colour and just making small stitches into the dark fabric; this

means you canÔt see the stitches at all.

Leave the mouth open to give a happy expression.

If you want to add mouth flaps, or so called devil horns, you can simply

crochet them into the sides of the mouth. Despite not being totally

realistic, I decided to remove mine, as I thought the ray looked so

much cuter without. You decide!

Mouth Flaps: Crochet 7 rows of 2 stitches, with a turning chain, at one

side of the mouth in blue, then stitch around to neaten edges. Repeat

this for the other side.

Hope it goes

swimmingly!
