This master class contains crochet lessons and descriptive patterns for creating a crocheted toy for children – “Chanterelles”
In this master class I want to tell you howYou can knit a cute and cute little fox for your child using a crochet hook. Those who like to knit with knitting needles can also knit such a toy, but of course it will look a little different, and it is better to knit toys with crochet than with knitting needles. Knitting needles are great for knitting sweaters, hats and children's shoes, such as booties. A knitted fox is suitable for simply playing with a child; the toy can also be knitted as a gift. Or provide it to a school or kindergarten for an exhibition of handmade crafts. The chanterelle is pleasant to the touch and soft due to the use of appropriate yarn and filling material. I use artificial yarn or acrylic mixed with wool for knitting. Due to the dense filling, the toy holds its shape perfectly and can sit on its own, meaning it does not need to be supported.
To knit a chanterelle you will need the following materials and tools:
- yarn of red color;
- yarn of white color;
- yarn of pink color;
- yarn of lilac color;
- black yarn;
- yarn of red color;
- eyes -2 pcs .;
- satin ribbon green in white peas (width 1 cm);
- satin ribbon of light green color (width 0.5 cm);
- glue;
- sewing needle;
- sewing thread of green color;
- hook number 3;
- filler for toys or foam rubber.
When all materials are ready for work andtools you can start knitting toys. We will knit the fox from the head, or rather from the nose. To work, you will need red yarn and a No. 3 hook. You need to make a chain of 4 loops and combine it into a circle. From rows 2 to 4 we crochet around. In the 5th row you need to add one loop in any random place and tie it around again. In the 7th row you also need to add 1 loop, and the 8th and 9th rows are tied without adding loops.
In the 10th row, you need to knit 1 loop from each loop of the row and tie it around again. Thus, the nose will gradually expand.
Now we move on to one-way expansion, andMore precisely, we will expand only in the upper part of the nose. The nose must be visually divided into two parts: upper and lower; for convenience, you can attach a small hairpin to see which part is which. Therefore, in the 12th row we make an increase in loops in each upper loop, and the lower loops are knitted without increases, the 13th row is knitted without adding loops. In the 14th row you need to add loops, as in the 12th row, and then knit a row without adding loops. In the 16th row, two loops are knitted from each loop of the upper part and tied again.
In the 17th row you need to knit two loops fromevery second loop, and 18, 19, 20, 21 rows are tied without adding loops. Next, we move on to decreasing the loops, so in the 22nd row you need to remove 1 loop in every 4th loop and simply tie it again in a circle. In the 24th row we make the same reduction as in the 22nd row, and the 25th row is tied without shortening the loops.
Fill your head with foam rubber or otherfiller and continue knitting. In the 26th row, you need to remove 1 loop in every third loop and simply tie it again in a circle. In the 28th row, you need to remove 1 loop in every third loop, and the 29th row is tied without cutting the loops. In the 30th row, you need to remove 1 loop in every second loop and just knit it again. As it shrinks, you need to fill it with foam rubber.
In the 33rd row we cut all the loops and fasten the thread. Cut the thread and hook it inside. The head is ready.
The body is knitted with red yarn.It is necessary to make a chain of 4 chain loops and combine it into a circle. From rows 2 to 3 we crochet around the workpiece. And in the 4th row you need to knit two loops from each 2 loops of this row. Next, tie, as usual, in a circle.
In the 6th row, you need to knit two loops from each 3 loops of the row, and knit the next row without adding loops.
In the 8th and 10th rows you need to knit 3 from eachloops of a row are two loops each, and rows 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 – usually knitted without adding loops. In the 15th row, we cut one loop in each 6th loop of the row, and the next row is tied without adding loops.
Fill the body.In the 17th row, you need to cut one loop in each 5th loop of the row and knit another row without cutting. In rows 19 and 20 – cut one loop in each 3rd loop of the row, and tie the other row without cutting. Add filler to the body. The toy needs to be filled well so that it holds its shape later. 22-24 row – make a reduction in each loop of the row, secure the thread and trim. That's all, the body is ready!
To knit the upper and lower paws you will needwhite and red yarn. Let's start knitting the lower legs. We make a chain of 4 air loops from white yarn and combine them to tie a circle. Next, you need to knit two loops from each 2 loops of the row in the 3rd and 5th rows and tie them without adding: tie the 4th row with white thread, and tie the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th rows with red yarn.
Fill the paws with foam.In the 11th row we begin to reduce the loops, so we knit this row and decrease the loops in two arbitrary places. Rows 12 and 13 are knitted without shortening. In the 14th and 15th rows we make a reduction in each loop and fasten the thread.
The second lower leg is knitted according to a similar pattern.
We knit the upper legs for the fox.A chain of 4 air loops is made from white yarn and combined into a ring, then this ring is tied. In the 3rd row, knit two loops from each 2 loops of the row, and knit without adding. In the 5th row we switch to the red thread and knit without any additions.
Rows 6-11 are also knitted without adding, and the foot is filled with foam rubber. In rows 12, 13, 14 – The loops are decreased and the excess thread is removed.
The second upper leg is knitted according to a similar pattern.
What is a fox without a tail?Therefore, we next knit the tail. A chain of 5 loops is made from white yarn. Rows 2 and 3 are knitted without adding. In the 4th row, loops are knitted in each loop of the row. Knit rows 5 and 6 without increments. Rows 7-13 are tied with red thread without increments.
In the 14th row, shorten the loops in 3 arbitrary places and knit. In row 16 – in every 3rd stitch of the row, cut the stitches, and knit the 17th row without decreasing.
In the 18th row we cut already in every 2 loops, 19th row – tie without cuts. Rows 20-21 – decrease in each loop, fix the thread and cut off the remainder. The length of the tail was 12 cm.
We knit the ears from red yarn.We knit this way: cast on a chain of 14 stitches and knit in the opposite direction. Fold the resulting workpiece in half and knit, threading the hook through the entire workpiece (4 loops are knitted). Next we knit in the opposite direction, but only 3 loops are knitted, that is, we do not knit the outermost ones so that the eye narrows. Then we knit one loop and cut the thread.
One ear is ready, and the second one is knitted in exactly the same way.
To decorate the chanterelle, I suggest knitting a beautifulan apron with a flower and make a bow from a satin ribbon. For the apron, we collect a chain of 7 loops with white yarn and tie it in the opposite direction. Knit the next 2 rows back and forth, but at the same time we thread the hook into the outermost loops, thereby expanding the apron. Knit again in one direction and the other. Then, from the outermost loops (at the beginning and at the end of the row), knit 2 loops and thus knit 2 rows. The next two rows are easy to knit.
Now you need to tie the apron with pink thread,and in the other row knit with a pattern. The pattern is knitted like this: a chain of 6 loops is made, connected to the 1st loop of the chain, and then connected to the next loop. Thus, it is necessary to knit three sides of the apron, that is, the one that will not be tied under the head.
Tie two ties to the apron to secure the apron around your neck.
To knit a flower we take a lilac thread.Cast on a chain of 5 loops and connect the first and last loop. Tie the resulting ring, threading it through the hole (middle), not through the loops. The result will be a knitted ring.
Then make a chain from 7 loops and thread it into the 2nd loop from the beginning of this chain to make a petal. There should be 5 such petals. Cut the thread and glue the flower to the apron.
All that remains is to make a bow from a satin ribbon.To do this, you will need a special cardboard blank 6 cm wide. Cut the blank in the middle, cutting out 1 cm. Wrap a green satin ribbon with white polka dots around the blank 2 times. Sew with a needle and thread along the centimeter cutout, remove from the workpiece and tighten, fixing the bow. Tie the bow in the middle with a light green ribbon. Glue the bow to the fox's head.
Glue the head and body together.
Glue the upper legs and wait until the glue dries.
Then glue the lower legs.
We glue the tail so that the fox cansit independently, leaning on the tail and paws. If desired, all the parts can be sewn together, I prefer gluing and, if anything, you can correct the part in the right place.
Glue on the ears, eyes and bow.Using black yarn, knit a nose, that is, cast on a chain of 5 loops and connect into a ring, fasten the thread and cut. The nose is ready, glue it on too. Use red thread to make a small mouth for the fox.
Tie an apron around the fox’s neck and secure it with a little glue so that it doesn’t fall off.
This is such a funny, bright and stylish fox. Knitting toys – it's always exciting and interesting. If a child knows how to knit a little, then toys can be made together with him.
