Master-class will teach how to create a developing knitting cake for fine motor skills
I knitted this toy for my son to develop fine motor skills. I needed:
- multicolored thread,
- hook,
- knitting needles,
- foam rubber
- an egg from the kinder for sound.
To start, I knitted six rectangles of different colors. To do this, cast on 34 stitches on the knitting needles and knit in stockinette stitch for 36 rows, then close the knitting.Using a thread of a contrasting color, I tied the rectangles with single crochets. This is what happened.Now we decorate each square. Here I decided to sign my future toy. Using threads of different colors, I collected chains of air loops (VzP), then simply sewed them on.Heart:close 4 vzp into a ring; 3 double crochets, 3 double crochets in a ring – this is the first row. Knit 3 more rows of double crochets, and knit two stitches in the first and last stitches of the row. Fifth row: 5 double crochets in the third loop of the row, 2 single crochets, 5 double crochets in the eighth loop of the row. Finish knitting with a connecting stitch.I knitted the helicopter like this:cast on a chain of 7 stitches, knit two rows with single crochets, while knitting two stitches in the first and last loop. Third row: with a thread of a different color – two stitches in the first loop, five stitches in the next loops; change thread – columns to the end of the row, then dial a chain of twenty vzp. Fourth row: single crochet, starting from the eighth loop of the chain, knit to the other thread; change color, knit to the end, while knitting the last two loops with one. Change the thread to the main one; continue knitting, decreasing stitches at the beginning and end of the row, until six stitches remain. Break the thread. Knit the chassis and blades separately. On the next rectangle I have locatedvoluminous mouse. It consists of three parts: a head and two ears. I knitted the head in the round with double crochets. Close 5 loops in a circle, knit 12 dc in a circle. Next row – 1 dc, 2 dc in next stitch; so until the end of the row. Knit 3 more rows in this way and close the knitting. Embroider the nose in a different color, stuff it with stuffing and sew it to the rectangle, glue on the eyes. Now the head is ready.Ears: 5 vzp in a ring. 8 VzP rise, knit 19 stitches with 4 double crochets, connect. Sew to the head.And then I got a clearing.Ladybug: knit in the same way as the mouse's head, only with single crochets. Using black thread, divide it in half and embroider dots and a head. Sew to the rectangle. Butterfly: 5 vzp in a ring. 3 double crochets, 4 double crochets, 3 double crochets, single crochet – 2 times; 2 double crochets, 3 double crochets, 2 double crochets, single crochet – 2 times.Sew to the base, embroider the body and antennae with a thread of a contrasting color. The clearing is ready.On the next side of the cube I decided to knitrain and rainbow. I knitted the cloud in a circle in a column with different numbers of yarn overs, and knitted the drops separately. Rainbow – rows of single crochets of different colors. On the last side of the cube I wantedtie a basket with a cherry. To do this, cast on 5 double crochets, knit 2 double crochets in the 3rd loop, 1 double crochet in the next loop, 2 double crochets in the last loop, unfold the knitting. Next row — double crochets; at the same time in the first and last loop – two each. Knit three more rows of fillet mesh, cast on for the handle. Sew to the rectangle. Leaves: 7 ch, 2 single crochets from the 2nd loop, 2 single crochets in the next two loops, 1 single crochet, 3 single crochets in the next loop, 1 single crochet, 2 double crochets in the next two loops , 2 single crochets. One leaf is ready. Without closing the knitting, cast on 7 loops and knit in the same way as the first. Cherries: connect in a circle. Connect with leaves with a chain of VZP. This is the basket I got.Connect the rectangles together with connecting posts. Shape it with foam rubber, put a kinder egg filled with rice inside. The toy is ready.
