How to tie a horse amigurumi crochet with his hands with a step-by-step description and photo.
The birthplace of the amigurumi knitting technique is Japan.And today it has won the hearts of craftswomen all over the world. Most often, amigurumi is used to make animal toys or dolls. In this master class, we offer you to learn how to knit such an animal as a horse using the amigurumi technique. The product turns out bright and cheerful. It can be a great gift not only for children, but also for those adults who really love original things.To create such a horse you need to stock up on the following materials:
- bright yarn of the brand "Iris" (several shades);
- crochet hook (number one and a half);
- thread of a mulina to embroider a toy face;
- 2 small beads (to create a pony eye);
- weighting agent;
- Synthetic or cotton wool as a filler;
- A small clump of wool to hold the mane;
- a thin needle for holding felting.
Let's get to work on making the head.Horses First, use light pink yarn. 1st row: knit six loops in the shape of an amigurumi circle. 2nd row: increase in all loops six times (total: twelve loops). 3rd row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create one column without a yarn over, then increase (total: eighteen loops). 4th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create two columns without a yarn over, then increase (total: twenty-four loops). 5th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create three columns without a yarn over, then increase (total: thirty loops).6th row:6 times you should create such a combination of loops: create four columns without a yarn over, then make an increase (you get thirty-six loops in total). 7th and 8th rows: make columns without a yarn over in all loops (you get thirty-six loops). 9th row: 6 times you should create such a combination of loops: make a decrease, and after it - create four columns without a yarn over (you get thirty loops in total). 10th row: make columns without a yarn over in all loops (you get thirty loops). Next, we move on to knitting the part of the muzzle that has a striped appearance. Therefore, you need to change the yarn to white. Then you will knit all the rows with threads of different shades.11th – 13th row:we perform columns without a yarn over in all the loops (we get - thirty loops). 14th row: 6 times you should create this combination of loops: we make a decrease, and after it - create three columns without a yarn over (we get - twenty-four loops in total). 15th - 19th rows: we perform columns without a yarn over in all the loops (we get - twenty-four loops). Then you need to stuff the head with filler (cotton wool, synthetic padding).20th row:6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make a decrease, and after it - create two columns without a yarn over (you end up with eighteen loops). 21st row: 6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make a decrease, and after it - create one column without a yarn over (you end up with twelve loops). After that, if necessary, add more filler. 22nd row: make decreases in a circle (you end up with six loops). At the end, be sure to leave a thread of sufficient length to attach to the body later.Let's get to work on making the body.Horses Here you also need to use the principle of knitting each row with a new shade. 1st row: knit six loops in the form of an amigurumi circle. 2nd row: increase in all loops six times (you get a total of twelve loops). 3rd row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create one column without a yarn over, then increase (you get a total of eighteen loops). 4th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create two columns without a yarn over, then increase (you get a total of twenty-four loops). 5th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create three columns without a yarn over, then increase (you get a total of thirty loops). 6th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: create four columns without a yarn over, then make an increase (the result is thirty-six loops).7th row:6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make an increase, and after it - five sc (columns without a yarn over) (you end up with forty-two loops). 8th row: 6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make an increase, and after it - six sc (columns without a yarn over) (you end up with forty-eight loops). 9th - 17th row: make columns without a yarn over in all loops (you end up with forty-eight loops). 18th row: 6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make a decrease, and after it - create six columns without a yarn over (you end up with forty-two loops). 19th row: 6 times you should create the following combination of loops: make a decrease, and after it - create five columns without a yarn over (this results in thirty-six loops). 20th row: create the following combination of loops 6 times: make a decrease, and after it - create four columns without a yarn over (this results in thirty loops).21st row:The following combination of loops should be created 6 times: make a decrease, and after it - create three columns without a yarn over (the result is twenty-four loops). Then you need to stuff the body with filler (cotton wool, synthetic padding). Try to weigh down the body of the toy with either standard pebbles or granules. We also advise you to do this because the horse has a rather large head, which can tip the product to one side. 22nd row: the following combination of loops should be created 6 times: make a decrease, and after it - create two columns without a yarn over (the result is eighteen loops). 23rd row: the following combination of loops should be created 6 times: make a decrease, and after it - create one column without a yarn over (the result is twelve loops).Fill with more synthetic padding.Row 24: make decreases in a circle (you end up with six loops). At the end, be sure to leave a thread of sufficient length to attach to the head later. Let's start making the horse's legs (4 parts). Here you need to use a red thread first. Row 1: knit six loops in the shape of an amigurumi circle. Row 2: increase six times in all loops (you end up with twelve loops).3rd row:6 times you should create such a combination of loops: create one column without a yarn over, then make an increase (you get eighteen loops in total). Change the shade of yarn. 4th - 11th rows: make columns without making a yarn over in all loops (you get eighteen loops).At the end, be sure to leave a threadlong enough to attach to the body later. Let's get to work on making the horse's ears. Use pink yarn. 1st row: knit six loops in the form of an amigurumi circle. 2nd row: create the following combination of loops: create one column without a yarn over, then make an increase - repeat this way until the end of the row (you end up with nine loops). 3rd - 6th row: create a column without a yarn over in all loops (you end up with nine loops). 7th row: create the following combination of loops: decrease and sc (you end up with six loops). At the end, be sure to leave a thread of sufficient length to attach to the head later. We will not stuff the ears themselves. Rather, on the contrary, we will even iron them. How to knit a horse's neck? Cast on nineteen air loops. Then close into a loop and you will have a chain of eighteen loops.1st – 3rd rows:you should knit sc in all loops (we get eighteen loops). 4th row: before completing the row you need to knit this combination - three sc + increase (we get twenty-two loops). 5th - 7th row: you should knit sc in all loops (we get twenty-two loops).After which we can begin to assemble the product.We also put a little weight in the legs. Before attaching the legs of the toy, put them in the most comfortable position. Next, attach the ears of the horse. We embroider the nostrils and smile. We attach the beady eyes. From a red tuft of wool, you need to felt the mane for the horse. Then you need to felt the tail of the toy. That's it! Our amigurumi horse is ready!
