How to crochet a biconvex (3D pointed oval)

So I came up with 4 different ways to come up with a flat pointed oval shape or an elliptoid shape. Here I will be covering the 1st of those 4 methods. It’s great for creating all kinds of Amigurumi attachments like long ears or leaves.

How to crochet a pointed oval - foundation chain and rotate

The pattern is as follows: Row 1: Ch9 Row 2: Sc2, hdc1, dc2, hdc1, sc2, go around chain Row 3: Sc2, hdc1, dc2, hdc1, sc2

Check out the full video tutorial at the bottom of this blog post for easier reference if it helps.

Step 1) Creating the basic foundation chain

This is mostly basic when you start off with a slip knot and make a whole foundation chain. In this example, I made ch9, which I have named as the first row.

Row 1: Ch9

If you are unsure of how to make basic crochet stitches like slip knot or foundation chain, you can check out my free 30-page ebook on how to do this.

Step 2) Crochet along the foundation chain

What you choose to crochet along the foundation chain is up to you, based on what the patterns says or whichever shape you would like to conjure up.

In this case, I’m starting with a single crochet of 2 (sc2) to start off with, in row 2.

Step 3) Complete until the end of the row

To complete this first row along the foundation chain, I have named it row 2. To create a taller effect in the middle and narrower effect at the ends, I have used single crochet at ends and half double and double crochet in middle.

Row 2: Sc2, hdc1, dc2, hdc1, sc2, go around chain

Step 4) Rotate the whole row!

So you see the part where I mentioned to go around the chain - it refers to the arrows in the pictures above.

In the top 2 images, the foundation chain part is at the bottom, while in 3rd image, it’s on the left and in the last picture, the foundation chain part has gone to the top.

Step 5) Continue crocheting on the other side of the foundation chain

As I mentioned earlier, the foundation chain part is now facing upwards and you can continue to crochet on the other half of the foundation chain.

In this case, as we continue crocheting on the other side of the row, I have named it row 3.

Row 3: Sc2, hdc1, dc2, hdc1, sc2

It’s essentially the same as row 2, to create a symmetrical side, identical to the original row on the foundation chain.

The final piece! It consists of the foundation chain, the first row crocheted on and then the subsequent row crocheted on the other side!

You can see how this method can be used to make leaves or ears. I have done this for my Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh and also my past rabbits like Peter Rabbit.

My latest Looney Tunes collection showcasing this method can be seen in Bugs Bunny and Wile Coyote! Their patterns will be available very soon!

Psst if you hang around, there will be an upcoming pattern for you to utilize all these new techniques! Do share or pin this tutorial if you found it useful so others can see it too!

Tierney Gearon born 1963 in Atlanta, GA, is an acclaimed Los Angeles based contemporary photographer, who gained both critical and commercial recognition for her powerful and intense color photographs. She was thrust into the spotlight in 2001 when her work was featured as one of the main photographers in the famed "I Am A Camera" exhibition at Saatchi Gallery in London.

Her "Shape Series" depicts  children and animals inside colorful plexiglas shapes in various outdoor settings. The images suggest that though the subjects are in a recognizable physical location, they may exist in an alternate dimension distinguished by the space within the transparent colored walls. The project presents a fantasy-like narrative that we imagine could involve portals into space. 

Tierney Gearon has been exhibited at many prominent galleries and museums including, The Parrish Art Museum, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and Phillips de Pury & Company in London.
