Do not cut your thread, we will now continue working on the first root
Tooth roots (4x)
Before starting with the first root, sc 3. This will make sure you’ll start in the middle (when looking from front view). The next 4 roots are made in groups of 12 stitches. Repeat the following 4 times:
-
- 1. 12sc
-
- 2. Slip stitch
-
- 3. Finish first root
Round 18: 12sc, slip stitch in first sc (12)

Round 23: 8sc, dec (9)
Round 24: 7sc, dec (8)
Round 25: 6sc, dec (7)
Round 26: 5sc, dec (6)
Round 27: 4sc, dec (5)
-
- 1. Gap
-
- 2. Close gap (dec around)
-
- 3. Closed bottom
Bottom
Stuff the tooth firmly. Rejoin and decrease around till you have a small gap left. Use a needle to go through all the remaining loops, this will close the gap.
Face
Cut two small rounds of black felt and two smaller rounds of white felt. Glue the white round on the black one and glue it on the tooth. Cut a short piece of black yarn and glue it below the eyes. If you are giving the tooth to a child, better use safety eyes and sew the mouth with a needle.

20 December 2019 at 11:11 pmHello! I love this little tooth! I got to round 7-17 and noticed the top of the tooth wasn’t rounding into a bowl shape. Am I supposed to be crocheting into the back loops for rounds 3-7 in addition to it being noted on round 2? I’m trying to trouble shoot this issue. Thanks!

18 June 2019 at 7:29 pmI don’t know if you’ll see this but for rnds 7 through 17 what exactly do I do? Repeat 48 sc for 10 more rounds?

17 May 2019 at 3:26 amI LOVE how cute this is! I work in the dental field and it’s a medical anomaly to come across any tooth with 4 roots. I was going to make this for my office but I feel like my dentist would laugh at me if I gave her a tooth with four roots lol. Is there a way to finagle this pattern to make the root in the back centered and not include a 4th root?

8 November 2017 at 2:43 pmHow do you finish off the roots? Do you tie off and start with a new root? I really love this pattern but I’m not very experienced with crochet so I’m struggling lol. Thank you!
Wilma
8 November 2017 at 2:45 pmYep that’s right, you have to attach yarn again when you start another root!

19 August 2017 at 11:46 amHello, I would like to prepare one as a gift, do you have any videos for these while you made them? I somehow find it easier to follow a video, and unfortunately I couldn’t find a clear one out there!! If you have, could you please inform me I would be so thankful.
On the other hand, they really look nice ❤

20 April 2016 at 5:17 pmRound 18-27….? Should all those be SC instead of CH or V? Thanks.

8 April 2016 at 2:12 pmI really do not understand hoe to start the roots. Your pattern says to ch 3. Not sc? Thenwhere does the slip stitch go?
admin
8 April 2016 at 4:17 pmYes, you’re totally right. sc 3, I have changed the mistake. Thanks for letting me know!
