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

Step 1: What You Need:

White yarn (plate)

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

3.75 mm crochet hook

scissors

Step 2: The Watermelon

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.
