Our children are already tired of toy rabbits,bears, dogs. Do you want to diversify their leisure time? Then find out how to knit a toy hedgehog. The toy can be made in two ways: knitting or crocheting. Each craftswoman chooses her own pattern. As a rule, knitted hedgehogs on knitting needles come in two types: the figurine stands on legs or lies with its needles up. The average length of our hedgehog will be about 20 cm.
Materials and attributes for knitting
- For the execution of the head and trunk, the Pekhorki hank is a series of "Children's Caprice" (50% merino wool, 50% fiber, 225 m, 50 g);
- For imitation of needles, the yarn-grass made of polyester Alize Decofur of Turkish production of brown melange of shade 1365 (100 g, 110 m) is ideally suited;
- Black thread for embroidery;
- Special filler for soft toys;
- Needles number 2;
- Hook;
- Needle for stitching related parts.
Operating procedure
Let's consider a more understandable version of the description of knitting with stockinette stitch on two knitting needles, which even a beginner can do. Next you need to assemble each knitted element:
- The head of the toy in the form of a square 6x6 cm from the thread "Pecherki" (20 loops).
- Rectangle for the torso of the same yarn 5x7 (18 p.)
- Needles from yarn-grass - a square size of 8x8 (20 p.).
Then follows the stage of assembling the parts separately:
- Head - two corners of the square are bent and stitched togetherknitted item. For the ears of the muzzle, unused other corners of the knitted blank are used. Stretch the needle to the middle of the side with the needle and secure it, retreating approximately 1.5-2 cm from the top edge of the muzzle.
- Torso - form paws from a rectangle. Then sew small small circles with a dashed seam. For this purpose, coins can be used to form convexity.
After this stage, fasten the head together andbody of the toy - sew the parts to each other using a needle. The knitted block with needles is sewn first on the head. At the same time, do not forget to leave the corners and sew the seam obliquely. At the beginning and end of the seam, fasten the thread and pull the ears a little, giving them a natural shape. Be sure to leave a small hole in order to stuff the belly of the forest character.
Interesting ideas for the design of a knitted animal
After fastening all the parts you need blackembroider the nose and eyes with thread. You can get creative by crocheting a nose or attaching pretty beads instead. Please note that there are special toy eyes on sale if you don’t want to make them yourself.
To decorate the figure, you can crochet additional details and then fasten them to the head of the toy:
- a small apple;
- a flower in the form of a camomile;
- green leaves or mushrooms.
Pay attention to the nuances
Of course, you can replace the padding polyester with ordinary cotton wool.But in this case, you will not get the required volume of the toy and the effect of even the highest quality knitting will be a little blurred. Dents and uneven terrain are possible. When making a toy as a gift or for your child, you should not skimp on materials - and then your favorite hedgehog will last much longer.
