Tips

Despite my efforts, my crocheting skills remain rudimentary as I tend to forget elaborate stitch sequences.
For the scope of this article, I will define the yellow button as “marking button” which I advocate recognizing for beginners once they finish their first stitch.
As demonstrated, blue marking button must be activated after your last stitch is completed.

Every round begins with a chain stitch (ch) which serves to elevate the work to the appropriate height. This addresses the balance, tension, evenness, polish, and all finishing touches to the work.

The reasoning behind our preference for using the invisible decrease is that it helps in achieving a polished appearance for our crochet pieces. In this case, slip your hook to the first back loop of the next two stitches, pull through, wrap around both loops then complete the stitch by wrapping around once more.

Crochet 20 chain stitches for hand carrying.

Fold it in half for hand carrying.

R1

6sc into the magic ring.
Magic ring or mc: For making mc or magic circle, use your left hand’s index & thumb to hold the yarn and pull its end towards left as you pinch the yarn with your right hand’s thumb and finger. This method aids in making the most pivotal portion, the center of the circle, the size of an O.

We put the hand carrying with stem on the center of magic ring.
Use the index finger and thumb of your left hand to tighten the yarn end to secure the handle carrying with stem to the magic ring.

Hand carrying with stem on the center of magic ring.
We need to pay attention to the fact that we need to tie more knots on the back for better fixation.

In slip stitch (sl), you place the hook into the first yellow V shap stitch. Yarn overs and pull through two outer loops which are on the hook. Thus we have one loop which is called as slip stitch.
Completing the last slip stitch means round 1 has 6 stitches.
R2

In Round 2 (R2), we adhere to the scheme ((sc, inc) * 3), which translates to performing 1 single crochet (sc) followed by 1 increase (inc) three times. This results in 9 stitches for the round.

When you get to the last stitch, put the red yarn behind the dark green yarn before yarn over.

Yarn over with red yarn, the hook to bring out the two dark green loops on the hook, and the red yarn change is complete.

Completing the last slip stitch means round 2 has 9 stitches.
R3

In Round 3 , the pattern is constructed with front loops only (FLO) using the formula (sc, inc, sc) * 3 for a total of 12 stitches.
You will be working front loops only for the round.
Once there, do the following three times:
1 single crochet (sc) in the first stitch
1 increase (inc) in the next stitch which is 2 sc to a single front loop
1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch

Fiberfill

Put the fiberfill in to the hole of body of chili.
Because the holes in the chili are very small, it is difficult to put the fiberfill in. I used tweezers to take a small amount of fiberfill and slowly put it into the fabric.
Don’t be impatient.

The fiberfill is completed.
Conceal the yarn end

Leave 10 cm and cut yarn end.use hook to bring out the yarn end.

There are still six stitches for closing , and there are very conspicuous holes.
We use a yarn needle, close the gap by picking up one stitch every other stitch.

Then conceal the yarn end.

Chili crochet is completed.
