The master class will teach you how to make crafts with your own hands to decorate your home - crocheted kittens
Our kitten will be knitted very easily, but it will look very unusual and interesting. The kitten will not have paws. This is a primitive toy. And it is more intended for the interior.To create kittens we need:
- hook;
- yarn;
- sintepon;
- needle;
- Threads for embroidery.
We'll start from the bottom and gradually get to the top.the ears themselves, which, by the way, will not be knitted separately here, as is usually done, but together with the head and body of the cat. We will knit two kittens. One of them is with a pink thread, and the second one will be knitted with an orange one. Any other thread is also possible, this is up to the knitter or crocheter. Let's make an initial ring of threads (amigurumi ring). In it we will make the first 6 columns. We will knit the kitten without yarns, with regular columns. The yarns will be only in the ears. That is, at the very end of our knitting of the toy. After the 6 columns of the first row are ready, we make 6 increases in another row. And we already have twelve columns in a row. Now we make three more rows with such increases, that is, there will be exactly six of them in each. In total, there will be thirty. That's it, we do not need more columns for the kitten. Therefore, we will not make any more increases. And now we make four rows. Knitting is done in a circle. It is not necessary to connect the end and the beginning of the row.Done.Now we will make 6 decreases in the three rows that follow. We will knit two rows without changes. And after this we will make increases in each loop. Here we have smoothly moved on to knitting the kitten's head.We continue with seven rows. The kitten's head should be slightly larger than its body.Now let's form his ears.To do this, first fill it with padding polyester and then fold both sides together. The hook should be on the side in the very corner. Knit a half double crochet, in the other loop - a double crochet, in the next (third) - a half double crochet. At the same time, knit both sides of the head. One ear of the kitten is already ready. Now count three loops from the other end. And knit them with single crochets. And in them, repeat the knitting for the ear.Here is the kitten's body with head and ears connected.Now we will knit the tail.In the magic initial ring we make the usual six columns. Then in the second row we make six increases. And we knit fifteen rows. We stuff it tightly with padding polyester.And we sew the tail on the back and bring it forward,so that it lies as kittens usually do when they sit. We take embroidery threads. And we “draw” a muzzle with them. We embroider a nose in the form of an inverted triangle and eyes.Now we knit the second kitten of a different color.It is knitted in the same way as the first one. And to make them look more interesting, we will also make scarves for them. In this case, one kitten is pink, one is orange. And we will knit an orange scarf for the pink one, and a pink one for the orange one. We make an air chain of forty loops. And we make only one row of double crochets.We tie a scarf for each kitten. Here are the paired kittens we got! Using this principle, you can knit kittens in love for Valentine's Day, choosing the appropriate colors.
