Crocheting allows you to create knitted toys, bear cubs with their own hands easily knits together with children.
Knitting toys from yarn is alwaysfascinating and interesting. Therefore, if your child has nothing to do, then offer him to knit a toy together. As a result, you will not only get a new beautiful toy, but also have fun with your child. During this process, the child will not only master the basics of crocheting, but also, perhaps, will become interested in this pleasant activity. At the first stages of your joint creative process, often consult with your child about the choice of the color of threads for knitting a toy, what size he would like to knit a toy. I offer a step-by-step master class on knitting an unusual toy - a teddy bear in a cap and with raspberries in his paws. I would like to note that the child can choose the fruit or berry himself. If the child is small, then the mother will knit the chosen berry or fruit herself. If the child is able to hold a hook with a thread in his hands, then you can control the child during the knitting process.
Now let's talk about the materials needed forwork. First of all, you need knitting threads of different colors. To knit the teddy bear, I took brown yarn (50% acrylic, 50% wool). The cap and raspberry are knitted with 100% polyester yarn. This yarn is intended for hand knitting. The threads themselves are twisted into a chain, to which a lurex thread is added. Craftswomen mainly use this yarn for decorating things, knitting accessories and toys. The cap is knitted with blue yarn with lurex thread, and the raspberry is made of the same yarn, but pink. You can stuff the toy parts with synthetic padding, holofiber or thin foam rubber. What you will need for work:
Traditionally, the knitting process begins with the head.toys. As they say, if you get the head, then all the other parts will work. We can say that the head is a complex part, as it is knitted unevenly. In this case, you need to knit the bear's nose correctly. The head is knitted exclusively from brown acrylic yarn. Make 3 loops with a hook, close them between themselves (row No. 1). Then knit these loops (row No. 2). Knit 1 loop, and from the next one you need to pull out two loops, then knit 1 loop and so on (row No. 3).
Knit all the loops, pulling out 2 loops from each of them (row No. 4).
We form the bear's nose as follows:visually divide the part into two parts horizontally. The upper part of the part should expand, but the lower part should not. Therefore, knit all the loops of the upper part, pulling out 2 loops from each of them (row No. 5).
The next two rows are knitted in regular stitch.Next, all the loops of the upper part are knitted, pulling 2 loops out of each of them (row #8). The next row is knitted with a regular knitting pattern (row #9). Then 1 loop is knitted, and from the next one you need to pull out two loops, then 1 loop is knitted, and so on (row #10). The next row is knitted with a regular knitting pattern (row #11).
We finish expanding the part and move on tonarrowing, but only at the top. You need to reduce 3 loops in random places (row #12). Knit a row with a reduction in every 4th loop (row #13). Now you need to reduce in every 4th loop, both at the top and at the bottom of the piece. Put thin foam rubber inside the workpiece, as much as it will fit, then add it as it reduces (row #14). The next row is knitted with regular knitting (row #15).
Next, decrease in every 4th loop, as inboth the top and bottom of the piece (row #16). The next row is knitted with regular knitting (row #17). In the final rows, you will need to reduce all the loops and tighten the piece. Cut the thread and crochet it inside. The bear's head is knitted!
After that we leave the brown yarn and hook,We will need all this to make the body for the bear. It is knitted from the head in the form of an extension. Make 3 loops with a hook, close them together (row №1). Then tie these loops (row №2). Knit all the loops, pulling out 2 loops from each of them (row №3).
The next row is knitted with a regular knitting (row No. 4). Then knit all the loops, pulling out 2 loops from each of them (row No. 5).
The next 9 rows are knitted in regular stitch(rows #6 - 14). Then decrease in every 5th loop (row #15). In every 4th loop, decrease the loops (row #16). Put thin foam rubber inside the workpiece, as much as it will fit, then add it as it decreases. In every 3rd loop, decrease the loops (row #17).
The next row is knitted with a regular knitting pattern (row№18). In every 2nd loops are decreased (row №19). In the final rows you will need to reduce all the loops and tighten the part. Cut the thread and tie it with a hook inside. The body of the bear is crocheted!
We will knit the upper paws using two colors.yarn: brown and light brown. Make 3 loops with a hook from brown yarn, close them together (row №1). Then tie these loops (row №2). Knit all the loops, pulling out 2 loops from each of them (row №3).
In this row knit 4 loops of light brownyarn, and finish knitting the remaining loops of the row with brown yarn (row No. 4). In the next row, knit 5 loops with light brown yarn, and finish knitting the remaining loops of the row with brown yarn (rows No. 5 and No. 6).
The next 8 rows are knitted with brown yarn without adding loops (rows No. 7 - 14).
We put thin foam rubber inside the blank, as much as we needwill enter, then as it decreases, it needs to be added. Decreases in every 2nd loop (row #15). In the final rows, you will need to decrease all the loops and tighten the piece. Cut the thread and crochet it inside. The bear's paw is crocheted!
Another paw is knitted using the same principle.
The lower legs are knitted a little differently than the upper ones,but also include two colors of yarn. Make 4 loops with a hook from light brown yarn, close them between themselves (row №1). Then tie these loops (row №2). Knit all the loops with pulling out from each 2nd 2 loops (rows №3 and №4).
The next six rows are knitted with brown yarn without adding stitches (rows 5 - 10).
We put thin foam rubber inside the blank, as much as we needwill enter, then as it decreases, it needs to be added. Decreases in every 4th loop (row #11). The next row is knitted with regular knitting (row #12). Decreases in every 3rd loop (row #13). In the final rows, you will need to decrease all the loops and tighten the piece. Cut the thread and crochet it inside. The lower paw for the bear is knitted!
The second lower leg is knitted using the same principle.
As for the tail, the bear cub has onesmall and round. And the tail is knitted like this: make 3 loops, close, knit 6 rows, and in the 7th row all loops are reduced. Fill the tail with a small piece of foam rubber.
Since there will be a cap on the bear's head,you will need to knit only one eye. It is knitted from light brown yarn, 6 loops are crocheted, knit 3 rows with a strip, and then tie the eye with brown yarn. Cut the thread and hide the remainder.
Let's knit the most interesting thing -cap and raspberry. For the cap, take blue yarn with lurex thread. Make 4 loops with a hook, close (row No. 1). Then tie these loops (row No. 2). Knit all the loops with pulling out 2 loops from each 2nd (row No. 3). The next 5 rows are knitted with regular knitting (rows No. 4 - 8).
Select the visor area and knit 4 rows. After that, you need to knit both the cap base and the visor in one row so that the detail becomes one.
To knit raspberries, take pink yarn with lurex thread. Make three loops with a hook, close (row №1). Then tie these loops (row №2).
Knit all loops, pulling out every 2nd one2 loops (row #3). The next 5 rows are knitted with a regular knit (rows #4 - 8). Place the foam rubber inside the raspberry. In the final rows, you will need to reduce all the loops and tighten the part. Cut the thread and tie it with a hook inside.
The leaves and the branch are knitted like this:make 4 loops with a green acrylic crochet thread, knit in the opposite direction. This will make one leaf. Knit two more such leaves and a branch in the form of a chain of 8 loops.
The raspberries and leaves with a sprig are ready! They can be glued together.
Using the glue, connect the head and body, then glue the paws. The glue dries quickly enough, so you don't have to wait long.
Glue the tail. The child can also help glue the parts, it's not difficult.
Glue the eyes of the bear from black beads.Attach a cap to the head and glue an ear on the other side. I glued the cap on the right side and the ear on the left side. Tie a bow of satin ribbon on the neck. The bow can be any color, that is, whatever ribbon you have available, or whatever color ribbon your child has chosen.
Place raspberries in the bear's upper paws.Knit a nose of 5 loops from black yarn and attach it to the toy. Make a mouth from red thread. The thread can be glued or crocheted inside. The size of the toy is 17 cm.
The funny and soft teddy bear is ready! That's it, the child's toy collection will be replenished with another wonderful character.
