Pink, white and green yarn, in dk/light worsted/worsted weight (I use DK) and brown if choosing to add seeds.
3.5mm hook.

Base plate
1: ch14, sc in the 2nd chain from hook and each across (13)
2-3: ch1, turn, sc across, end off leaving a very long tail for sewing.

If you want seeds on your watermelon stitch them on now.

Flatten out the watermelon cone slightly so the shape resembles a slice and lightly stuff it. Then sew the base onto the watermelon. That's it, your slide is done!
