Amigurum crochet toys: sheep's patterns, dolls, owls and master classes of knitting techniques

A new trend in knitting has become miniature amigurumi crochet toys, whose patterns are based on circular knitting. All kinds of little animals, little people and even food and furniture can be connected with the help of ordinary yarn and hook. As a decor, beads, felt and other materials are used, in other words - everything that the creator's imagination will suffice for.

Today I would like to tell you and show you how to create beautiful and original amigurumi toys.

Sheep

On the eve of the New Year, the first toy is a sheep crocheted amigurumi.

Materials for work:

• hook №1
• hook №2,5
• yarn for knitting
• yarn boucle
• eye beads

Work progress:

Head

We begin knitting the sheep from the head. To do this, we make the standard ring with the crochet №1 and bind the 8 RLS to the center of the ring. In the new row, increase the size of the workpiece by tying 2 RLS in each loop. The next 2 rows are knit, following the pattern of knitting the circle in a spiral with no extra weight.

After that we need to change the number of the hook and attach the yarn to the boucle. Will make a sheep's head. Extend the workpiece by tying in 1 loop 2 RLS.We should have 32 RLS at this stage of work and you can already fill the workpiece with filler( cotton wool or holofayber).

Then we continue to knit in a spiral 2 more rows without any increase. Next, we begin to reduce the number of columns in 3 RLS, then after 2 RLS, and then all the remaining ones. Now we stretch the thread through the loops and finish knitting the head.

Ears

Begin to tie the ears of the lamb with 10 EI, using the hook number 1.We continue knitting in a straight line, with the first 2 stitches made without a crochet, and the next 7 with a crochet. Reaching the end of the series, knitting is turned and we begin to do the RLS strapping. At the corners, make 2 RLS in one loop. The second eye is similar.

Body

The body of the lamb will be knit from the yarn of the boucle hook by the number 2, 5.To do this, make a ring and knit 8 RLS in the center. Continue knitting in a spiral with an increase in the number of loops. At the same time in the second row should be 16 RLS, and in the third - 24.

The next two rows we knit without increases and begin to fill the toy with cotton wool or holofayberom. Further, we reduce the body of the lamb first through 3 sticks, then - through 2, and in the last row of the trunk all the bunches are tied together.

Paws

The knitting of the foot begins with 8 RLS tied in the center of the amigurumi ring. Further knitting continues in a spiral without addition and reduction of columns for 6 rows. We finish the manufacture of the foot - with cotton wool. Under the same scheme, we make 3 more legs.

Assembly of the toy

All the details are stitched together.

On the muzzle we embroider a nose and a muzzle, we sew eyes with beads.

Having finished with the knitting of a lamb, I will continue to share with you the lessons of how to knit crochet amigurumi toys for beginners.

Doll

Miniature doll-keychain knits quite simply and quickly.

For amigurumi crochet patterns, the following circling knitting patterns are useful:

Materials for work:

• hook # 3
• yarn of different colors
• eye beads
• filler

Height of the finished pupa is 10cm.

Job description:

Head

First we make an ordinary amigurumi ring and we sew it to the center of 24 RV.Next, we knit 3 rows without spiral increments. Starting with the 4th row, we reduce the number of columns to 18, i.e., 6 times we make the decrease. In the 5th row, we repeat again 6 times the decrease, so that 12 loops result. The workpiece is put aside.

Hat

In the amigurumi ring, we sew 6 RLS and start expanding the workpiece, tying in the next row 2 bb in each loop. In the third row we knit 2 RLS in each 2 loop of the row. We continue to make increments according to the scheme of knitting the circle, tying 2 RLS in each 3 loop, then 4, etc. In the fifth row, we must have 30 RLS.The same number of bars are knitted in 6 and 7 rows. Starting with the 8th row, we tie the head to the hat. To do this, every 4 loop hats knit together with each 3 eyelets of the head. Again, we make increases first after every 4 loops, then through 5 loops. We finish knitting with 42 RVs in a row.

Lips

We embroider on the workpiece two red strips between 2 RLS.The ends of the red yarn are fixed on the inside of the knitting.

Feet

Make an amigurumi ring, into which we tie 6 RLS.In the new series we make 2 RLS in each loop of the row. Then we make a decrease by tying 2 RLS together through every 3 loops. It should be 9 RLS.We repeat the decrease in the 4th row after every 2 loops. Next, three rows of knit in a spiral with no deductions( 6 sc).

We put the knitting and begin to make the second leg in the same way.

Now combine the legs, tying in the 9th row 12 RLS.In the 10th row we make an increase in the knitting pattern of the circle, increasing the number of RLS to 18. This completes the knitting of the legs. We leave a piece of thread to connect with the dress.

Dress

In the center of the ring amigurumi we sew 12 RLS.In the first row, we again knit 12 RLS without any increase. The second row should contain 6 increments, i.e. through each loop we knit 2 sc in 1 loop. In the new row we attach the legs, making 6 more increments. In each 3 loop we make 2 RLS.4 and 5 rows are knitted unchanged, saving 24 RLS.

Hands

We begin knitting the first knob with an amigurumi ring, into which we then make 6 RLS.The next 5 rows are knitted in a spiral without any additional increases. The second knit is knitted similarly. Do not forget to leave a piece of string for sewing handles to the body of the doll.

Hair

First we make blanks - cut off 38 strips of yarn of yellow color about 20 cm long, then fold in half. Now we begin to attach the hair to the head: to the first circular row of the head we tie 16 strips, to the next - 12, and to the third - 10 strips. Then the length of the hair can be aligned with scissors.

Assembling the pupa

We connect all the details of the pupa and sew eye-beads. As a decoration you can make a small flower on the hat. Then sew the string for the key fob.

Pupa is ready:
