Tiny Tooth Free Crochet Pattern

Teeny tiny toof is teeny

This tiny tooth is a quick and easy project and requires little in the way of time or materials. Knowledge of the magic loop/adjustable ring method (search on Google) for starting crochet in the round, and experience of crocheting in the round would be helpful as it’s a tiny bit fiddly due to the size of the project.


The photos are of the slightly larger tooth (pattern at bottom of page). A tinier toof pattern follows.

Materials:

White or cream yarn and appropriate size crochet hook

Fiberfill for stuffing

Stitch marker (a hair grip/bobby pin works very well!)

Yarn needle

Scissors

Eyes: safety eyes/black yarn/embroidery floss/small buttons (I used 6mm safety eyes)

Red yarn or embroidery floss for the mouth

Abbreviations

St – stitch

Dc – double crochet. In this pattern, this is British double crochet, equivalent to American single crochet.

Sl st – slip stitch

Pattern:

Using the magic loop make a ring of 4 dc (4 st)

Round 1: 2dc in each st (8 st)

Round 2: *1dc in first st, 2 dc in following st, repeat from * around (12 st)

Round 3 – 9: dc in each st (12)

Round 10: divide for the two roots with a slip stitch and dc around those 6 st (6 st)

Round 11: dc in each st (6 st)

Round 12: decrease by putting the crochet hook through one half of three alternating st and create a slip stitch, repeat with any other stitches to close the end of the root.

The great divide... 

Add the safety eyes and then stuff with Fiberfill. Using the crochet hook, pull some of the Fiberfill to the end of the root to plump  it out. Due to the construction, the top of the tooth has a dip in it, like a molar:

Top of the molar

Repeat rounds 10 – 12 on the other side of the tooth to complete the second root. Using the crochet hook, pull some Fiberfill downwards to fill the root out.

Weave in the ends and embroider a mouth.

Done!

For a ever so slightly larger tooth, begin with a circle of 6 stitches, then
Round 2: 2 dc in each st in each st
Round 3: *2 dc in next st, dc in following st, repeat from * around
Round 4: *2 dc in next st, dc in following 2 st, repeat from * around
Rounds 5 - 11: dc in each st
Round 12: divide for root and dc in each st 
Round 13: dc in each st of the root
Round 14: dc in each st of the root
Round 15: decrease across sets of 2 or 3 st
Round 16: close end of root
Stuff, add eyes and make another root. Embroider mouth.

*ehn!* Tiny Toof gets comfy on the pillow.
