Knitted toys everyone likes it - both adults and children. If you have ever held a hook in your hands, then you can create a toy yourself. From the remnants of yarn, cute and funny pillows, animal figurines, cartoon characters and even Christmas decorations. We will tell you how to make crochet knitted toys with diagrams and a description of the procedure. Try it, you will surely succeed.

Schema selection

There are a lot of patterns for knitting toys. During the search, I want to immediately take on the complex, beautiful toy with many details. The temptation is understandable, but try to resist it. Start with an easier product. You can start knitting complex things when you master the basics of knitting, you can knit tight enough, you understand the tricks of decreasing and adding loops. Try to start small. So the lesson will not have time to get bored and interest in it will not disappear. Read the description. By the order of knitting and assembly, the complexity will be clear. Here we will give the simplest patterns on how to crochet a toy.

Choice of yarn and hook

For knitting toys choose non-elastic yarn. Perfect option - plain or mercerized cotton. It has an affordable price, as well as a wide variety of colors. You can choose other yarn. Just make sure the thread doesn't stretch. The elastic thread will also stretch in the product. The loops in the finished toy will stretch, and you will get ugly holes.

Threads come in different thicknesses. Usually the label indicates how many meters of thread are in 50 or 100 grams of yarn. The longer the length, the thinner the thread. Toys knitted from thin thread, are more elegant, but such knitting will take more time. Too thick thread is also better not to take. Each loop will stand out sharply. To get started, buy yarn with parameters of 150 m / 50 g.

For the first knitting lessons, it is better to take smooth threads. You can experiment with different textures later.

The hook must match the yarn. Usually the package contains information about the size of the needles and the hook that corresponds to it. The specified hook will provide knitting of medium density. Since for the toy it will be necessary to knit very tightly, take a hook 1-2 sizes smaller than indicated on the label. For example, for the thickness indicated above, use a hook from 1.5 to 2 mm.

Prepare the fittings

Prepare all kinds of eyes, ears, jewelry, etc. in advance. Many of them are attached during mating. For example, safety eyes and a spout are inserted before stuffing the head with filler. Then you just won't be able to insert them well. And it’s better to string bead eyes on working thread at the beginning.

How to knit an amigurumi ring

An amigurumi ring is the beginning of every knitted toy. This is the name of the ancient Japanese art of making knitted toys. It is knitted instead of the traditional chain air loops closed in a ring. The finished product is neater, because it is tightly tightened, and there will be no hole in the center of the toy.

Rules for knitting amigurumi toys

Knit emoticon

The easiest crochet amigurumi toys- smiley or kolobok. It has a minimum of details, and it fits in a couple of hours.

It knits simply:

Knitting a kolobok emoticon takes place on the basis of a ball. It can be made larger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the number of rows with additions. For example, in the description above, you can continue adding: to every seventh VP, to every eighth VP, and so on. So the ball will be with a large diameter.

Start knitting a ball:

In the future, when knitting toys, if a ball diagram is required, we will refer to this description.

New Year decoration

New Year decoration on the Christmas tree can also be crocheted. If you decide to make balls, then use the description in the previous paragraph. Don't forget to attach hook or ribbon for hanging. Experiment with different colors. Balloons, crocheted, can be both plain and with patterns. The simplest pattern - stripes. To do this, you need to periodically change the color of the thread. Crochet the desired shade, and gently stretch the unused ones along the wrong side.

knitted christmas toys there may be other forms. The easiest way is to tie two identical flat figures, sew them together, and fill the space between them with a padding polyester. For example, skates are easily and simply knitted according to this pattern:

Crocheted jewelry will perfectly decorate the house, bring warmth and comfort.

Knitted bear crochet

Knitting a Bear is a little more difficult. But on the basis of this scheme, you can make almost any toy: bunny, tiger, even piglet. You just need to change the patterns of the ears and tail.

So, a knitted bear consists of:

• ears;
• heads;
• torso;
• front paws;
• hind legs.

Knit the head of the bear according to the description of the ball:

• dial six loops into the amigurumi ring;
• knit two stitches in each loop;
• column, three times two columns in one loop, finish the row with single crochets.

Bear body:

Front foot:

Back foot:

Dial chain of five loops and tie it three rows of single crochets to make an oval. The circuit is shown in the figure:

It turned out the sole of the bear. It can be tied in a different color, then the bound animal will turn out to be shod.

Then knit according to the description:

Now collect all the details, embroider the mouth and nose. Crocheted bear is ready.

Crochet toys for beginners

Knitted crafts with knitting needles are not only interesting, but also very fast. At the same time, there are a number of products that will seem easy even for beginners.

You will need:

• yarn - black and orange fleecy thin in 4 layers;
• gray organza ribbon;
• stuffing material;
• hairpins - 3 pieces;
• Polish for hair;
• black beads - 3 pieces;
• felt-tip pen;
• black threads;
• black leather scraps.

Description of work

1. Orange thread - cast on 6 loops.
2. Row 1: knit stitch, knit 2 out of 1 - repeat 6 times = 12 stitches in total.
3. 2nd row: (P2 out of one, P1) - repeat 6 times = 18 loops.
4. 3 row: knit facial.
5. 4 row: knit purl.
6. 5-6 rows: continue from black yarn, 2 p.
7. From 7 to 10 rows - knit with an orange thread, 4 p.
8. From 11 to 20 rows - knit with black thread in 10 p.
9. From 21 to 24 row: continue knitting with orange thread in 4 p. Continue with black thread faces 1 p.
10. 26 row: (knit purl 2 together) 9 times = 9 facial loops, 1 p.
11. Next, you should cut the thread, pass it through the loop, pull it off, fasten it.

Assembly

First you need to make a head by pulling the loop. The bottom seam should be sewn, while stuffing the product with cotton. Next, wings are made from organza. They are simply cut out of the tape and painted with varnish.

Attach the wings to the body. Make a mustache out of leather and attach it to your head. Sew beads in place of the mouth and eyes. A soft toy must be equipped with paws. You can make them from studs.

For the paws of a bumblebee, knitted, waxed cord can be used instead of studs. This is worth doing if you are going to give a toy to a child. When making toys for beginners, you can not do a mustache at all.

The easiest option: a square rabbit

We knit a rabbit! For this you will need:

• yarn,
• cotton wool,
• pompom for ponytail.

The first step is to knit a rectangle stockinette stitch or garter stitch. Threads can be taken any.

How to tie a rectangle? Cast on 28 stitches and knit in garter stitch. After the square is ready, you should sew it in the center with a thread with a needle.

The second stage - in order to make a toy, we do not tear off the thread, but we sew it so that we get a triangle.

You should get the head of the toy.

Then you need to sew up the back of the toy and fill it with cotton. We sew with a secret stitch.

Don't forget to tie the pom-pom as it will act as a ponytail.

On the muzzle, you can make embroidery, sew on beads, or you can just leave everything as it is.

Knitting rattles for beginners

If you are going to knit your first toy, it can be a simple rattle. Multiple items can be made at once different color. What are the advantages of a knitted toy? The baby will not get hurt while playing with it, there are no small parts that the child could swallow.

So, we knit a rattle with our own hands. It is better to take such a type of yarn as "Baby". It is soft and the villi do not fall out, since it is very difficult to tear the thread from the warp.

Products are textured, which allows the baby to use the toy for the development of motor skills. A knitted rattle can also be used if the child's gums itch. Toys do not shed, they are allowed to be washed in a conventional washing machine.

We knit a rattle: what do you need?

• Yarn "Krokha";
• beads;
• knitting needles - 3 mm;
• scissors;
• a needle with a large eye;
• felt-tip pen - you need to get the rod out of it and wash the product with soap;
• kinder surprise container

Description of work

1. First we knit a cover for the container. We will put beads in it so that the rattle makes sounds. Knitting is done with knitting needles, but you can also use a hook.
2. Knitting a cover is very simple. Just make a square with sides slightly longer than the length of the container. The easiest way is to make 15 loops and knit 15 rows.
3. Then we take a strong thread and sew the product around the perimeter. Next, we put the container into the resulting case. We tighten. Sew up the resulting hole. The rattle ball is ready.
4. It remains only to put the knitted part of the toy on a stick, which can be a felt-tip pen.

knitted sheep

To make a lamb out of yarn, we knit the body and head with knitting needles, making an expansion at the beginning and a narrowing of the canvas at the end. We sew the head on one edge, and the legs can be knitted with toe knitting needles, or made from braids from the same yarn, or take a thick cord for this. The hair on the fur coat and on the head of the lamb is knitted in long loops.

Knitting toys is quite an exciting and positive activity. And many, having knitted their first knitted toy, then cannot just stop. In this section you will find crocheted toys, these can be both small toys - amigurumi, and pretty big toys(bears, hares, dolls).

Knitted toys are usually soft: separate parts are knitted, stuffed with filler and sewn together.

Learning the Basics

Toys are most convenient to crochet. There is even a whole direction of knitting - amigurumi. These are funny small knitted toys (animals, dolls, cartoon characters) with stuffing inside, sometimes with moving limbs (paws).

It will be quite difficult for a beginner needlewoman to knit such a toy right away, but there are several simple schemes for mastering this direction.

For example, you can knit such a bunny:

For knitting you need:

• hook number 1 or 1.5;
• cotton thread (for example, "Begonia" or "Almina") cream, white, orange and green shades.

It is important that the rows are obtained without extra holes and stretch marks, so the knitting will look more accurate, so we knit tightly. In order to understand where a new row begins, it can be marked with a small safety pin.

We knit separately all the details - ears, tail, head, torso, legs, front paws, carrots.

Designations:

vp - air loop;

s / bn - single crochet;

ss - connecting column.

pr - increase;

kill - reduction.

1. First we knit the ears. You should get 21 rows. We make 6 single crochets in the second loop from the hook. In the 2nd row we make 6 increases, i.e. 2 s / bn in one loop. 3 and 4 rows are knitted with increments (1 s / bn, inc and 2 s / bn pr, respectively). 5-7 rows - 24 s / bn in a circle. In the 8th row we decrease - we knit 2 s / bn together, then 6 s / bn and so on in a circle. 9-11 rows - 21 s / bn in a circle. In the 12th row we decrease again - dec, 5 s / bn. 13-15 rows - 18 s / bn in a circle. From the 16th row, we begin to decrease through the row - dec, 4 s / bn and in a circle; 18 - dec, 3 s / bn; 20 - dec, 2 s / bn. Rows 17, 19, 21 knit s / bn just in a circle.

1. Then we knit the tail - 4 rows. In the 1st row - 6 s / bn in the second loop, 2nd row - 6 inc, 3-4 rows of s / bn in a circle.

2 row - inc, 3 s / bn, 3 inc, 3 s / bn, 2 inc;
