— Tooth :
Info :
NOTES: The tooth is worked in continuous rounds from the top down - do not join after each round. You will make two 'cups' which will be joined to create the top bumps. Then, you will crochet around them and continuously until you split for the roots which are also crocheted in continuous rounds. Use size 4.00mm hook for the tooth

Info :
Give or take a few stitches to be sure your hook is positioned in the stitch just before what's about to become the gap between the roots.
