Next, we make the fin and sew on a smile!

Surfboard Assembly:
Now we will crochet both pieces together. You can crochet the pieces together in a color ofyour choice,but I crocheted the surfboard together matching the Main Color and Contrast Color when needed. The example photos show otherwise just so you can see the yarn easier!
Place both surfboard pieces together, making sure the face is facing out and the stitches line up (Pic 1-2). Insert your crochet hook under BOTH stitches from the front and back surfboard (Pic 3). Pull yarn of your color choice through both of the stitches (Pic 4-6).

5. 6.
Single crochet around the entirety of the surfboard (Pic 7-9). Change colors to match the surfboard if you’d like (Pic 10). Be sure to stuff the surfboard before fully crocheting closed (Pic 11). Once you crochet around the entire thing, finish off and weave in the ends.

Done! If you made this surfboard I would LOVE to see! You can show me by “trying” it on Pinterest.
I made the surfboard! These are seriously adorable, I plan to use my summer amigurumi as props for our end of summer tea party! Thanks for these great patterns! In row 1 where you ch 4 has the stitch count in parenthesis as (4), at the end of the row there are only 3 sc.
Oh my gosh how cute! LOL I love him with all of the other surfboards. Yay you’re making so many of the summer patterns and I LOVE that!! The tea party sounds adorable, I’m hoping that you’ll have tons of fun! I hope you’re including some fruit punch though 😋
Thank you so much for letting me know about the 4 needing to be a 3!
Yes they’re all so cute & my daughters love them and fight over them when I’m done! It’s bitter sweet really 😂
& you’re very welcome! You have done an awesome job designing these patterns!
Haha oh my gosh that’s so cute! I think that means you did a pretty good job making the toys if they’re fighting over it 😍
I watched your Youtube video of making the Pineapple and that was SO fun to watch! You crochet so fast, I don’t think I can ever make something in one sitting 😱 Oh and you can do french knots!! For some reason I can’t do them 🙁 If you want to do more tutorials, I would love to see one on french knots!
Thanks so much again Grace for sharing your makes. They’re so wonderful! I hope you and your lovely daughters are doing well 😍
Thank you so much! I was planning on doing a video on my favorite way to make ami faces! I’m currently working on the penguins, but it’s a rainy day here so there isn’t very good lighting. 😒
But it means so much to me that you checked out my YouTube channel! ❤

Oh I would really love to see that! The faces look so great and you do it so effortlessly! It takes me a few tries before I get the perfect smile 😂 Yay that’s awesome you’re working on the penguins! So excited to see them 🤩 They have a lot of little accessories but it’s worth it in the end for sure. Keep up all of the awesome amigurumis and videos! I love to find new crocheters to watch so thanks for sharing your channel 🥰
