Progress

We'll start braiding the girl with her hair.Let's prepare orange rubber bands, since the girl will be red-haired. You can choose any hair color. We place the machine so that the open sides of the columns face away from us. We put one elastic band on the 1st column of the top row and pull it on the 2nd column. Next, we put the elastic band on the 2nd column and pull it on the 3rd. And so on. We put on eight rubber bands in total.If you want to make your hair longer, you canextend the row to the end of the machine. We put another elastic band on the last column, stretch it and put it on the same column three more times, that is, we wrap it with an elastic band. Now you need to turn the machine with the open part towards you. We remove the layer in this way: we place the hook under the elastic band, which we put on four times, and find the lowest elastic band. We grab it with a hook, remove it from the column and put it on the next column. We do the same with the remaining columns.One curl is ready.It needs to be removed from the machine, since we will need it now. We take the hook and carefully, holding the rubber bands, remove the weaving from each column in turn. We need four such curls, so we’ll make three more in exactly the same way. If you want your hair to be thicker, then weave six such curls.We leave the hair on the hook and remove it for a while.Next we weave the head and part of the T-shirt. We take two green rubber bands and put them on from the 1st to the 2nd column. Next, take two flesh-colored elastic bands and throw them from the 2nd to the 3rd column. Again we throw two flesh-colored elastic bands from the 3rd to the 4th column. Now we put one flesh-colored elastic band on the 4th column and twist it four turns.We turn the machine again with open sides facingourselves and, in the same way as we braided curls, we braid our hands. Carefully remove all the rubber bands from the machine using a hook. We need two handles, so we make one more.Handles, like curls, are left on a hook orpencil and put it away for a while. Then we will put them on the machine. Now we need to make the hem of the skirt. We turn the machine with the open sides of the columns away from us. Take one blue and one yellow elastic band and throw them from the 1st to the 2nd column. In the same way, we throw a blue and yellow elastic band from the 2nd to the 3rd column, from the 3rd to the 4th. We put one blue elastic band on the 4th column and twist it four times. We unfold the machine and remove the bottom layer, as in previous cases.We also transfer this detail to the hook. We are weaving another one exactly the same.All the necessary individual parts are ready, nowwe weave directly to the girl herself. We turn the machine with the open sides facing us. We put two orange rubber bands from the 1st column of the left row to the 1st column of the central one. We put two more orange rubber bands on the 1st column of the central row and drag them to the 1st column of the right row. Next, we put two orange rubber bands from the 2nd column of the left row to the 1st column of the left row, from the 2nd column of the central row to the 1st column of the central row and from the 2nd column of the right row to the 1st column of the same row. Next, we put two beige elastic bands from the 3rd column of the central row to the 2nd column of the central row. In the same way, we put on two beige rubber bands on the left and right columns. We put two beige elastic bands from the 4th column of the middle row to the 3rd column of the left row, and from the 4th column of the middle row to the 3rd column of the right row.Now we need to put the curls on our head.Carefully remove one curl from the hook and, stretching the elastic bands, put them on the 1st column of the left row. We also throw another curl here. We throw the remaining two on the 1st column of the right row. Now let's make the eyes. We put a blue elastic band on the 2nd column of the right row and wind it three more times. We do the same with the second column of the left row.We put a beige elastic band in a triangle on the 3rd column of the middle row and the second two columns of the left and right rows.Next, crochet all the blue loops from the 2ndright column. We do the same with the second column of the left row. We put one beige elastic band in a triangle on all three columns of each row.To make the neck, we put on two beige elastic bands from the 5th column of the middle row to the 4th column of the same row.Let's move on to the T-shirt.We put two green elastic bands on the 5th column of the middle row and stretch them to the 5th column of the right row. In the same way, we put on two green rubber bands from the 5th column of the middle row to the 5th column of the left row. And two more green rubber bands from the 5th column of the middle row to the 6th column of the same row.Now let's put on the handles. We wove them together at the beginning.Next we will make the skirt.It consists of rubber bands in blue and yellow colors. We put blue and yellow elastic on the 6th and 7th column of the middle row. We’ll put another pair of these rubber bands on the 7th and 8th columns of the middle row, as well as the 8th and 9th. In the same way, we will put one yellow and one blue elastic band three times on the columns of the left and right rows.Let's do the legs.We throw two beige rubber bands three times on the left and right rows. We put one blue or black elastic band on the last columns of the left and right rows and twist it three turns.Throw a blue elastic band over that columnon the left, where the leg begins. We stretch it, pass it behind the ninth column of the middle row and put the 2nd end of this elastic band on the 9th column of the right row. We put another blue elastic band in a triangle on the 8th columns of all rows.Fold another blue elastic band in half andWe put it in a triangle on the seventh columns of all rows. Now we put a green elastic band on the sixth columns of all rows using a triangle. All we have to do is put on the hem that we wove earlier on the 8th columns of the left and right rows.We put the girl on and now we can remove the loops.We start shooting from the last column of the left row. We shoot exactly the same as all previous times. That is, we grab the bottom layer with a hook and pull it out. Next, we throw these rubber bands onto the column in front. So we weave up to the column with a handle. From this column, we transfer the bottom layer not to the column in front of the same row, but to the column in front of the middle row. We remove the left row of the machine in the same way. Let's move on to the center row. Let's just remove the first rubber bands. The rest are exactly the same as the previous ones. We weave the neck. Find the 4th column of the middle row. We wind the hook and find a pair of rubber bands located above all. We move them to the 3rd column of the left row. And here we grab the next two rubber bands and move them to the 3rd column of the right row. We transfer the remaining rubber bands on the 4th column of the middle row to the 3rd column of the same row. And we go further according to the algorithm we already know. That is, we insert the hook into the 3rd column of the middle row, hook the two lower elastic bands and throw them onto the 2nd column of the same row, and so on until the end. The center row is finished. We return to the third column of the left row. We wind the hook and weave it in the same way. From the 1st column of the left row we throw the two lower rubber bands onto the 1st column of the central row. We do the same with the right row. Weaving is completed. All that remains is to remove the girl from the machine. To do this, carefully remove all the rubber bands from the 1st column of the middle row onto the hook. We take an orange elastic band, hook it with the tip of the hook and transfer all the elastic bands from the hook to this one elastic band. We put the second end on the hook. There are two loops on the hook. We pass the first through the second, creating a knot. We tighten it. And now, using a hook, remove all the rubber bands from all the columns. We remove them carefully, helping with the hook so as not to tear the elastic bands, because they are under strong tension. We hold the girl herself by the loop that was tightened at the end. This is such a funny red-haired girl!
