How to crochet a Loch Ness Monster - No Sewing required!

Описание: Hello, it's Thursday and we are back with the Loch Ness Monster crochet pattern! This pattern requires no sewing, no pins, no needles. This Nessie came about thanks to you all voting on the first ever Knot My Idea poll, so thank you to everyone who took the time! I will be launching the next poll in a couple of weeks, so don't forget to subscribe so you see it when it comes up!

To watch me design this no-sew plesiosaur, check out my previous video:

Stitch Glossary:
ch: “Chain” - yarn over, pull through only loop.
sc: “Single crochet” - Insert hook, yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook.
inc: “Increase” - Complete two single crochets into the same stitch, one after the other.
dec: “Decrease over two stitches”- Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull up loop. Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull up loop. Yarn over a third time, and pull through all three loops on hook.
inc3: "increase 3" - my lame way of saying "put 3 single crochet into the same stitch"
dec3: "decrease 3" - decrease over 3 stitches.
nostril: modified decrease - Insert your hook into your first stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, there should be two loops on your hook. CH3 through just the loop closest to the hook. Insert your hook through the second stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. There should be three loops on your hook. Yarn over, and pull through all three loops on your hook.
