Mini Watermelon on Plate by the Crafty Potato

This is my first design without any help so let's hope this doesn't suck!

White yarn (plate)

dark pink, black, and lime green yarn (watermelon)

3.75 mm crochet hook

scissors

In green ch 13 plus 1, skip a stch and sc in each ch st at the end and tie off

In pink st to add the new color, sc across turn around

Dec, sc until 2 stch away from the end and dec turn around

Dec until 2 stch away from the end dec turn around

Sc in each sc turn around

Dec 4 times turn around

Dec 2 times turn around

St and tie off

to make the seeds i did something really complicated because i dont have a crochet needle but if you have one it should be a lot easier.

Row 1: magic circle (4 st)

Row 2: 2 sc in each st, st in first sc (8 st)

Row 3: 2 sc in each sc, st in first sc (16 st)

Row 4: 2 sc in each sc, st in first sc (24 st)

Row 5: 2 sc in each sc, st in first sc

Row 6: sc in each sc, st in first sc

now to add a bit of flare to the plate:

In black ch 2 on the edge of the plate, skip 2 stch and sc repeat all around the plate st and tie off.
