December 31, 2017 handmadebase

Products and things that are made by ourselveswith your own hands, have become very popular in our time. This can be explained quite simply: such products are unique. Having created a toy, clothes or jewelry with your own hands, you will definitely not find its double. That is why mothers so often began to make toys with their own hands for their children. One of such handicraft technologies is Japanese amigurumi. In this article, we offer you a detailed master class on creating an amigurumi sheep using a crochet hook.In our work we use 2 types of yarn:Iris brand threads in beige and gray shades, as well as fleecy yarn to knit the body of the product and the hood for the sheep. You can use the remains of threads from previous works. Use mohair as fleecy yarn. Also note that by choosing a different yarn, your product will differ in the required number of loops. But in our descriptions we will devote time to this issue. For work you will need the following tools and materials:

yarn (which we already talked about in detail above);
crochet hook (number 1, 15) for the yarn "Iris" and hook number three for knitting the yarn "Lotus Grass Stretch";
scissors;
weighting agent;
filler (fluff, cotton or sintepon);
a marker or a pin to count ryadochkov.

How to tie the head of our lamb with amigurumi?

At the beginning, gray yarn will be usedcolors “Iris”. The head of the toy is a ball, which is crocheted. Having mastered the basics of knitting a ball using a hook, you will significantly improve your skill level in the amigurumi technique. The main thing is to understand the basic principles by which the ball is crocheted.Row No. 1.You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row #2. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: increase in all loops (as a result - twelve loops). Row #3. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet), and after it - one increase (as a result - eighteen loops). Row #4. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet), and after them - one increase (as a result - twenty-four loops). Row #5. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make three sc (single crochet), and after them - one increase (as a result - thirty loops). Row #6. We knit the following combination six times in a row: four sc (single crochet stitches), and after them – one increase (as a result – thirty-six loops).Row #7.We knit the following combination six times in a row: five sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - forty-two loops). Row #8. We knit the following combination six times in a row: six sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - forty-eight loops). Row #9. We knit the following combination six times in a row: seven sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - fifty-four loops). Row #10. We knit the following combination six times in a row: eight sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - sixty loops). As you can see, such a fabric is based on a hexagon. When knitting, you add 1 single crochet to all rows. Once the circle size suits you, you can make a couple more rows, and then start making decreases. Row #11. Knit sixty single crochets, that is, you need to make 1 sc in all loops of the previous row.And now you can start from the next rowmaking decreases. Row 12. Knit the following combination six times in a row: eight sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - fifty-four loops). Row 13. Knit the following combination six times in a row: seven sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - forty-eight loops). Row 14. Knit the following combination six times in a row: six sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - forty-two loops). Row 15. Knit the following combination six times in a row: five sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - thirty-six loops). Row #16. Continue knitting the following combination six times in a row: four sc (single crochet stitches), followed by one decrease (total: thirty loops). Row #17. Continue knitting the following combination six times in a row: three sc (single crochet stitches), followed by one decrease (total: twenty-four loops). Next, stuff the part you have already knitted with filler. This will make it a little easier for you to decrease. Row #18. Continue knitting the following combination six times in a row: two sc (single crochet stitches), followed by one decrease (total: eighteen loops). The head should be stuffed more tightly so that it has an elastic shape. Row #19. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: perform one SC (single crochet), and after it – one decrease (as a result – twelve loops). Then you need to make decreases until the hole is completely closed.How to knit ears for our amigurumi sheep? Row #1.You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row #2. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make an increase in all loops (as a result - twelve loops). Row #3. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet), and after it - one increase (as a result - eighteen loops). Row #4. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet), and after them - one increase (as a result - twenty-four loops).Row #5 – 6.You must knit further: twenty-four sc (single crochet stitches). Row #7. You must knit the indicated combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - eighteen loops). Row #8. You must knit further: eighteen sc (single crochet stitches). Row #9. You must knit further the indicated combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet stitch), and after it - one decrease (as a result - twelve loops). Row #10 - 11. You must knit further: twelve sc (single crochet stitches). The ears themselves should not be stuffed. Do not forget to leave a thread to attach them to the base of our sheep's head later. For a smoother edge of the ears, we recommend finishing their knitting with a connecting column. How to knit the hood of our amigurumi sheep? At the beginning, we will use white fleecy threads "Stretch Grass". The toy's head will need to be knitted. In this case, we will use hook number three.Row No. 1.You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row #2. You should knit the following combination six times in a row: make an increase in all loops (as a result, you will have twelve loops). Row #3. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet), and then one increase (as a result, you will have eighteen loops). As you already understood, we have started knitting the ball again. We continue to knit rows until the diameter of the hood becomes larger than the head of the toy. Then we knit a couple of rows with an equal number of loops. From time to time, we try on the hood to the sheep's head. Row #4 - 7. You should knit further: eighteen sc (single crochet). After that, we can leave the head of the product in the hood itself. We knit using decreases. Row #8. You should knit the following combination: make single crochet stitches (SC), and skip one loop every four stitches. If you use mohair in your work, then we advise you not to simply skip a loop, but to decrease.Row No. 9.We continue to decrease, so to speak, "by eye". Finish knitting by hiding the end of the thread under the hood itself. How to knit the body of our amigurumi sheep? We advise you to start knitting the body itself after you finish knitting the hood. This will make it easier for you to calculate the dimensions of the body. The knitting principle is similar to creating the head of the product. We remind you that if you use mohair or other yarn, you need to calculate the number of loops for the ball yourself. Row No. 1. You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row No. 2. You should knit the specified combination six times in a row: make an increase in all loops (as a result - twelve loops). Row No. 3. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make one SC (single crochet), and after it - one increase (as a result - eighteen loops). Row №4. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - twenty-four loops). Row №5. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make three sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - thirty loops). Row №6 - 10. You need to knit further: thirty sc (single crochet stitches). Row №11. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make three sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - twenty-four loops).Row #12.You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - eighteen loops). Row No. 12. You need to knit further: eighteen sc (single crochet stitches). Row No. 13. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet stitch), and after it - one decrease (as a result - twelve loops). Row No. 14. You need to knit further: twelve sc (single crochet stitches). Do not forget to leave a thread in order to attach the body to the base of our sheep's head later. Next, the body should be stuffed through the hole that you left. A prepared weight should be placed in the back of the sheep so that the double head does not outweigh it. How to knit the legs of our amigurumi sheep (we create 2 elements)? In the beginning, we will use beige yarn "Iris". Row №1. You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row №2. You should knit the following combination six times in a row: make an increase in all loops (as a result - twelve loops). Row №3. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet), and after it - one increase (as a result - eighteen loops).Row #4.You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - twenty-four loops). Row №5. You need to knit the following combination six times in a row: make three sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - thirty loops). Row №6. We knit the following combination six times in a row: four sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one increase (as a result - thirty-six loops). Row №7 - 11. You need to knit further: thirty-six sc (single crochet stitches). Row №12. We knit the following combination six times in a row: four sc (single crochet stitches), and after them - one decrease (as a result - thirty loops). Row №13. You must knit the indicated combination six times in a row: make three sc (columns without a yarn over), and after them - one decrease (as a result - twenty-four loops). Row №14. You must knit the indicated combination six times in a row: make two sc (columns without a yarn over), and after them - one decrease (as a result - eighteen loops). We recommend stuffing the wider part of the leg after this row, so that it is a little easier to knit further. Row №15 - 24. You must knit further: eighteen sc (columns without a yarn over).Using sc, you need to close the hole.How to knit the arms of our amigurumi sheep (we create 2 elements)? In the beginning, we will use the gray yarn "Iris". Row №1. You need to close six loops into an amigurumi ring. Row №2. You should knit the specified combination six times in a row: make an increase in all loops (as a result - twelve loops). Row №3. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make one sc (single crochet), and after it - one increase (as a result - eighteen loops). Row №4. You need to knit the specified combination six times in a row: make two sc (single crochet), and after them - one increase (as a result - twenty-four loops).Row #5.You must knit the following combination six times in a row: make three sc (single crochet stitches), and after them – one increase (as a result – thirty loops). Row #6 – 8. You must knit further: thirty sc (single crochet stitches). Row #9. We knit the following combination six times in a row: create a decrease, and after it – three sc (single crochet stitches). As a result – twenty-four loops. Row #10. You must knit further: twenty-four sc (single crochet stitches). Row #11. We knit the following combination six times in a row: create a decrease, and after it – two sc (single crochet stitches). As a result – eighteen loops. Row #12. Continue knitting: eighteen single crochet stitches. Row 13. Continue knitting the following combination six times in a row: make a decrease, then one single crochet stitch. The result is twelve stitches. Then move on to stuffing the lower arm. Row 14 – 20. Continue knitting: twelve single crochet stitches.We advise not to stuff the upper part of the paw, so thatthe arms do not stick out after sewing to the body. We connect all the parts of the toy into one whole. We attach the arms and legs to the base of the body. But before that, make the design of the toy's face. Sew on the eyes and embroider the nose. The eyes can be made from large beads. To embroider the nose, use floss threads of pink shades.If this toy is intended forvery small children, then it is better not to use small details. At the same time, you can embroider the eyes using the same floss threads. In the end, all the ends of the threads must be hidden under the hood. After shaping the muzzle, proceed to attaching the ears. And at the very end - sew on the arms and legs of our animal.Our amigurumi sheep is ready!
