Instructions:
Making the Top Portion of the Ray:
- Start with a slip knot and chain four.
- Single crochet in the first chain stitch, increase stitch in the next chain stitch. Single crochet in the last chain stitch—four stitches total.

- Chain one, turn, and single crochet across all 18 stitches.
- Fasten off, leaving a short yarn tail.
Making the Bottom Portion of the Ray:
Repeat steps 1-10 of the top portion.
Joining the Two Pieces:
- Align the top and bottom pieces. Using a single crochet stitch, start joining from the end of row 10 of one piece to the corresponding part of the other.
- Continue single crocheting around the edges but leave the last 10 stitches unworked.
- Weave in ends, add stuffing, and then continue to crochet the border around to close.
- Sew on the safety eyes and a smile with the embroidery floss.
Crocheting the Tail:
- Attach yarn to the middle back of the ray with a slip stitch and chain nine.
- Work back along those nine with eight slip stitches.
- Join the tail more securely with a final slip stitch into the body. Fasten off and weave in the end.
Adding the Spots:
- Thread white yarn on your yarn needle.
- Stitch little spots over the top body, starting and ending the thread inside the plush to hide the ends.
After these steps, clean up any remaining fuzz and your stingray plush is ready to charm its way into your heart!
