Mouse amigurumi

So, when the basic moments of crochet have been mastered, you can go directly to creating simple amigurumi toys. Let's start with a little mouse.

Materials for work:

• cotton knitting yarn( 50 g - 100 m)
• hook №3
• filler( holofaiber)

Work progress:

We knit the mouse from the end, ie from the back of the trunk.

Recruit 4 child PP and close knitting in the ring. In the next series, we continue to knit in a spiral.

1 row: in the received ring we sew 8 st.without a crochet( RLS)

2 series: we sew 2 RLS in each loop to the end of the circular row. The total should be 16 SSN

3 series: we continue the extension of the mouse body and repeat the repeat to the end of the series - 1 sc, 2 sc. It turns out 24 SSN

4 series: increase the number of RLS to 32, tying up to the end of the series rapport - 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc.

5 row: again doing the addition, tying in each 4 loops of 2 RLS.The total should be 40 sc.

The next 6 rows we knit without any increase.

We begin to form the muzzle of the mouse, for this we begin the 12th row with decrements.

12 series: every 7 loops we make a reduction. In the end, we should get 35 SSN

13 series: we knit similarly to the previous row

14 series: again we do decrements, but now every 6 loops. The total should remain 30 SSN

15 row: we knit without changes

16 row: we reduce the number of RLSs every 5 loops. The result is 25 RVSD

17 series: reduce the number of RLSs every 4 loops. There are 20 RLS

18 series: continue to cut the loops and do this every 3 loops. It turned out 15 SCN

At this stage the mouse can already be stuffed with a holofiber.

19 series: again reduce the number of columns and continue to make adjustments until we close the hole in the workpiece.

To complete the muzzle, knitting is tightened and the padding is distributed inside the trunk of the mouse.

Now we turn to the knitting of the ears. To do this, again, dial 4 VP and close the ring.

In the first row, make 6 RLS in the received ring. In the second row we expand the workpiece, tying 2 RLS in each loop to get 12 RLS.In the last third row, 16 RLS should be obtained by tying 2 RLS in each 2 stitches. The thread from knitting is cut off and with it we sew the ears to the body of the mouse.

Sew our eyes and nose to the finished toy.

Our mouse is ready.
