Among the New Year characters, the snowman is the mostcheerful and good-natured. It is the easiest to make. A snowman is easy to make, taking 2-3 white balls of any material. A snowman knitted from threads is soft and warm, it does not look like its snowy prototype at all.
Simple in form snowmen
Knitting a snowman is easy:a cone-shaped body with a spherical head or a cylinder, which is pulled together with a scarf around the neck. You can knit it with knitting needles using the front surface. A knitted snowman can be dressed in a blouse, decorated with embroidery, beads, and felt snowflake appliqués. There are many master classes on making such New Year's decorations, diagrams, and descriptions on the Internet. If we talk about knitting techniques, then relief braids look beautiful in the middle of the surface. Diagrams and master classes describing knitting them with knitting needles can be easily found on specialized websites. You can knit the figure as a whole or the parts separately, and then sew them together.
Master Class
A simple model was chosen for the master class,the only detail is knitted from the bottom up: body, head, hat. In the neck area we decrease the number of loops. Our snowman will be knitted from white threads with braids in the front, and his hat will be striped, for it we will need at least 2 shades of yarn.If you knit a snowman on double pointed needles, thensubsequently it will not have to be sewn. Without a seam, the knitted character will be more attractive. But this is not a mandatory condition for knitting. We cast on 3 knitting needles 16 loops each, and on the front one, where we decided to knit braids - 18 loops.
We knit the facial smoothness everywhere, except for the snowman. We will knit a cloth on the front knitting needle according to the scheme. There are 2 types of braids and 2 directions of crossing.
The central spit consists of two braids of 4 loopseach, the crossing takes place in every fourth row. Lateral narrow braids - from 2 loops each, cross each other in the second row. They are separated from each other by purl loops.
You can choose any other knitting pattern by looking at the Internet pictures or master classes.
Having row 31 rows, we make the first decrease of loops on the front knitting needle: for each edge of the knitting needle there are 2 purl loops, we sew 2 together in 1.
In 32 rows on the remaining three spokes, we sew the last loops 2 to 1. Thus, the number of loops is reduced by another 6.
From the 33 rows we knit with the spokes around the circle with the smoothness on all the spokes.
Plotting 10 rows with a smooth surface, we begin to laythe slope of the future cap back. To do this, you need to continue to knit your face, and do not enlarge the back of your head. Therefore, we knot the face of the face completely, and the next knitting needle is not fully finished: we leave the last 2 loops not tied.
Turn the knitting by the wrong side and tie the row in the opposite direction to the opposite knitting needle, on which again we leave 2 unbonded loops and turn the knitting around with the face.
We continue to knit so, with each number reducing the number of knitting loops on the side spokes until they remain 2.
After that, take a contrasting thread and knit the cap in a circle, alternating the front and back loops, making strips of different widths.
After about 20 rows we begin to knit the neck of the cap. To make the knit itself shrink, go to the rubber band 2x2. It is necessary to tie 20 rows of rubber bands and close the product.
Assembling a snowman
Cut the circle for the bottom of any dense fabric. This circle is pinned to the snowman with sewing pins and we put it on the typewriter.
We turn out the resulting bag, stuff it with a holofayber. The connected snowman already looks pretty.
Now you need to make him face: eyes of beads, threads, buttons and nose-carrots, on this subject, too, there are master classes in a network of varying complexity. In our master class, we describe a new original way of creating a nose-carrot from an ordinary lace.
We take kapron cord, it stretches well, unlike cotton. Cut off one end of it with a stock so that you can make a knot for fixing it.
With the help of a needle, we stuff a little of the holofaiber into our carrots.
We take a loose fabric, fit linen or canvas for embroidery. We pass the free end of the lace through the needle-widened hole between the threads and make a knot-fastening.
Then we pass the nose from inside the head of a knitted snowman.
Now it's time for the eyes. Realistic eyes on wire loops that are easy to attach will come to the rescue.
Inside the head, we bend the eye loops through the tissue through which the nose is already passed. This shred of tissue is necessary, otherwise the eyes will fall through loose knitwear with knitting needles.
The snowman toy is ready!
