How to weave a funny suvenka from rubber? A lesson on weaving toys made from rubber with detailed recommendations, a description of the stages of work and photos
Undoubtedly, any bird is beautiful in its own way -to their own, but our hearts were won by these wisest winged owls! Today they are depicted almost everywhere. On clothes, on mobile phone cases, on furniture, on bed linen, anywhere! Therefore, today we will weave an owlet from rubber bands, which will decorate our interior.
Materials and tools
- Erasers of blue, white, purple, orange, black;
- Hook;
- Filler.
Stages of work
We will weave the owl according to one principle, onlyeach row will differ in the number of elastic bands knitted through one loop. All the details, except for the paws and ears, we will knit using a lumigurumi ring. So, let's make a lumigurumi ring. To do this, we will wind a blue elastic band onto the hook three times. That is, we will throw it on, and then throw it on two more times.Then we hook another elastic band andwe will transfer all the loops from the hook to it. We will put the other side of the elastic band on the hook. There are two loops on the hook now, we pass the first through the second. Next, we insert the hook into the ring of three loops. It was formed when we wound the elastic band three times on the hook. We insert the hook into it and pull another elastic band through it. We put the second side on the hook. There are three loops on it. We pass the first through two. And again we insert the hook into the same ring. Thus, we need to weave a total of six elastic bands. As a result, along the edges we will get a kind of chain of loops. There will be five of them plus one on the hook. We put a clip on the loop that is on the hook. It will show us when the row is finished. We change this clip at the end of each row. It is important not to forget to do this.This is the lumigurumi ring.Next we will weave by analogy. We weave the next row according to the scheme: 2-2-2. That is, we will weave two elastic bands in each loop. But not at the same time, but in turn, inserting the hook into one loop twice. We will get eleven loops plus one on the hook. A total of twelve loops.It's better to recount the loops every time, so thatcorrect mistakes in time. We knit the third row according to the pattern: 1-2-1-2. That is, we knit one elastic band into the first loop, two into the second, one into the third, two into the fourth, and so on. As a result, we get eighteen loops.Fourth row: 1-1-1-1-2. That is, we knit one elastic band into four loops, and two into the fifth. Another four loops, one each, two into the fifth, and so on. In total, we get twenty-one loops.Don't forget that the last loop is on the hook. Fifth row: 1-1-1-1-1-2. As a result, we get twenty-four loops.Sixth row: 1-1-1-2As a result, we get thirty loops. From the seventh to the ninth rows, we knit according to the pattern: 1-1-1. One elastic band in each loop.Tenth row: 1-1-1-2.As a result, we get thirty-seven loops. Eleventh row: 1-1-1. As a result, we have thirty-seven loops. In the twelfth row, we need to decrease the weaving. To do this, we will grab not one, but two loops at once. We weave according to the pattern: 1-1-1-1-decrease. That is, we weave one elastic band in the first four loops, grab the fifth and sixth loops together and weave one elastic band through them.As a result, we get thirty-one loops.Row thirteen: 1-1-1. One elastic band in each loop. Row fourteen: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-decrease. Total: twenty-eight loops. Row fifteen: 1-1-1. Total: twenty-eight loops. Row sixteen: 1-1-1-1-1-decrease. Total: twenty-four loops. Row seventeen: 1-1-1. Total: twenty-four loops. Row eighteen: 1-1-1-1-1-decrease. Total: twenty-one loops. Row nineteen: 1-1-decrease-1-1-decrease. Total: sixteen loops. Stuff the owl with filler. Then weave only decreases until the hole is closed. When the ball is woven, we pass the elastic through the loop on the hook and make a knot. We hide it in the weaving.Next, we will make the eyes. For them, we will need white and black rubber bands. We collect a lumigurumi ring from seven rubber bands. One rubber band is the initial ring and six loops.We knit the second row according to the pattern: 2-2-2.That is, two elastic bands in each loop. As a result, we get twelve loops. Third row: 1-2-1-2. We knit the last elastic band a little differently. We throw it on the hook and pass it through all the elastic bands on the hook at once and only then we throw the second side onto the hook. We pass the first loop under the second and get a knot. Now we need to make black stripes on the eyes. We insert the hook inside the weaving somewhere on the edge. As if piercing it. We put a black elastic band on the tip of the hook and pull it to the other side of the weaving. We leave the black loop on the hook and insert the hook under two loops.Now we put a white elastic band on the hook andwe pass it under the loops on the hook. We put the second side on the hook. We pass the first loop through the second and make a knot. Exactly the same on the second side. Only we do not throw the black elastic band anymore, but we hook the second end of the same elastic band.Let's make the second eye.All the protruding knots are simply knitted into loops from the inside of the eye. We will immediately make ears, a beak and paws for the owl. For the ears, we will use the same color as for the owl. We wind two blue rubber bands three times on the hook. Then we will take two rubber bands again and transfer all the loops from the hook to them.Repeat one more time. Fasten the loops with a clip or you can make a temporary loop. You need two of these parts.For the paws we will use orange rubber bandscolors. We wind one rubber band on the hook three times. We take two rubber bands and transfer the rubber bands from the hook to them. We move the weaving a little further onto the hook and repeat two more times.Now we remove all the loops on two rubber bands in the usual way. Now we take two rubber bands again. We remove the very first loop from the hook and hold it with our fingers. We wind two rubber bands on the hook three times.We return the first loop, which we held with our fingers, to the hook.Again, remove all the loops from the hook onto two elastic bands.And once again, holding the loop with your finger, we wind two rubber bands three times on the hook and return the first loop. We transfer all the rubber bands from the hook to two loops. We also either fix the last loops with a clip or a temporary loop. We make the second paw in the same way.Sew on the ears. Remove the clip from the ears.Determine the place. Insert the hook under any four loops and hook the two protruding loops on the eye. Pull them through all the loops on the hook. Hook the second two loops from the eye. Now hook the blue elastic band and transfer all the loops from the hook to it. Pass one part of it under the other and tighten the knot. Hide the knot in the weaving. Also attach the second ear opposite the first. Attach the eyes.We apply both eyes and determine how they will be directed. Our owl will have black stripes on the eyes located horizontally, but you can also make them diagonally, pointing towards each other. So, we have determined the place. We pass the hook through two loops on the eye and grab two loops from the owl. We take a blue elastic band and pass it through all the loops on the hook, there are four of them. And make a knot. We do the same on the other side of the eye.We hide the loops in the weaving.Do not insert the hook too deep, so as not to catch the filler. Attach the second eye in exactly the same way. Now let's make an edging for the eyes. Take a purple elastic band and insert the hook only under the back wall of the eye loop. Next, insert the hook under one loop on the owl itself. It is advisable to look for a loop as close as possible to the eye itself or even slightly under it. So, there are two loops on the hook, one white, the other blue. Put the purple elastic band on the hook and pass it through all the loops on the hook. Put the second side on the hook. Pass the first loop under the second. So weave the eyes in a circle. Insert the hook into the next loop and grab one loop from the owl. Transfer to the purple elastic band. We tighten the last loop into a knot and hide it in the owl. We weave the second eye in the same way. We attach the beak right away. We wind two orange rubber bands three times on the hook and pass them through two more rubber bands. We put the other side on the hook. We remove the weaving from the hook. We insert the hook between the eyes. You can even insert it under four loops. We hook one side of the beak and pass it through all the rubber bands on the hook. We put the other side of the beak on the hook. We fasten it with a blue rubber band. We tighten the knot and hide it in the body of the owl.We will weave the wings. We will make a lumigurumi ring from blue rubber bands. Second row: according to the scheme 2-2-2. Third row: we will change the rubber bands to purple ones and weave according to the scheme 1-2-1-2.Let's attach the paws.We apply the paws to determine the place. Then we insert the hook through two loops on the owl and hook two loops on the leg. We pass the orange rubber bands through the blue ones and insert the hook under two rubber bands on the owl. We grab the second two rubber bands of the leg with the hook and pull them under the blue ones. We transfer all the loops to the blue rubber band and tighten the knot. We hide it inside the weaving.We attach the second leg.Well, now we have to attach the wings. We determine the place. Approximately where the top of the eye is. The wings will be under the ears. We will attach them using the elastic band that we tightened at the end into a knot on the wings. We insert the hook through four loops on the owl and grab this knot on the wing. We pass it through the loops on the hook, pull it out. We lower it from the hook. We insert the hook into the two loops on the wing closest to this loop. We put the loop that we lowered from the hook back on the hook. And we pull it through all the loops on the hook. We tighten it. We move this loop apart and push the wing through it.We also attach the second wing. That's it! This is how funny the owl turns out!
