This is the kind of funny Ronald you should get!Materials and tools:

red, orange, black and white rubber;
machine;
hooks;
a bead of red color.

Stages of work:First, we'll make some twists that will later create the striped effect on Ronald's sleeves and golf socks. We wind the red elastic three times on the hook. Then we pass 2 elastic bands of white color through it.We remove the part. We need 14 of these screws.We will not weave the clown all at once, but we will make some of its parts separately. First, we will make the arms, legs and body. And then we will weave the head separately. So, let's make the arms. Take the loom, move the middle row forward onto the post (st-k). Turn the open sides to the right. Now take 5 parts and place them on the top row.On the 6th and 7th stitches of the top row we stretch3 orange rubber bands. We will weave the whole clown according to the 1st principle. We insert the hook into the 7th st-k of the upper row and with its back side we move all the upper rubber bands. We grab the lower 3 and pull them out from the inside. We remove from the st-k and pull to the 6th st-k of the upper row. And so on we weave the entire upper row.We transfer all the rubber bands from the 1st st-ka to the hook and remove the weaving. We need 2 of these parts. We place the handles on another hook.Now let's make the boots. We'll only need red rubber bands. Put 3 rubber bands on the top row and the middle row 4 times. Then connect these rows with 3 rubber bands.We twist the elastic band in half and stretch it over2nd st of the top row and 2nd and 3rd st of the middle row. You get a triangle. And we will make another such triangle, only throwing the elastic band folded in half onto the 3rd and 4th st of the top row and the 4th st of the middle row. On the 5th st of the top row we wind the elastic band 4 turns.And we will weave the same way as our hands wove.On the 5th stitch of the upper row, first pull out the upper 3 elastic bands and pull them onto the 5th stitch of the middle row. And then pull the 3 lower elastic bands onto the 4th stitch of the upper row. Then, weaving the upper and middle stitches, pull out only the lower elastic bands. We sort of return the elastic bands to the stitches from which they were thrown.We remove the rubber bands on the hook from the first sts and remove the weaving from the loom. We pass 2 rubber bands through all the loops on the hook.We knit another boot in the same way.Next, we will lay out the clown's body on the loom. We will always put on a pair of rubber bands. We will put 2 white pairs on the 1st and 2nd stitches of the middle row. 2 pairs - on the 2nd stitches of the middle and upper rows. 2 pairs - on the 2nd stitches of the lower and middle rows. Now we change the rubber bands to orange ones. We place 6 pairs on the upper row and 6 pairs on the lower row. We connect the rows with pairs of rubber bands on the middle row. Next, we place 6 pairs of rubber bands on the middle row, but now we take 1 red and 1 orange rubber band. We throw an orange pair on the 8th and 9th stitches of the middle row.We put on 1 orange elastic band on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th, 7th and 8th stitches of all rows.On the 9th st of the middle row we wrap 1elastic band 3 times. Continue weaving on 3 pairs of elastic bands on the upper and lower row. These will be the legs. On the 11th and 12th stitches of the lower row and the upper row, put on 1 piece that we made at the beginning. And do the same on the 12th and 13th stitches. Remove the handles from the additional hook and put them on the 2nd stitches of the upper and lower rows. Put the boots on the last stitches of the upper and lower rows. Start weaving from the 9th stitch of the middle row. Alternately transferring the elastic bands from the inside to the stitches from which they are thrown. First the upper 2, then the 2 middle and 2 lower, while moving the twisted elastic band aside. Here we stop and put on the 7th stitches of the lower and middle 1 red elastic band twisted in half. We do the same with the 7th stitches of the middle and upper rows. Weave the lower row from the bottom up to the 7th stitch. Weave the upper row in the same way. Next, weave the 7th stitches. Weave the 6th stitches. From them, we transfer the elastic bands to the middle row, since they are stretched from there. Now weave the middle row to the 2nd stitch. Weave the upper row to the end. Weave the lower row to the end as well. All the elastic bands are connected on the 2nd stitch of the middle row. And only now we weave it. We remove the weaving from all the stitches, except for the 1st stitch of the middle row. From it, we transfer the elastic bands to an additional hook.The body is ready, let's make the head.Take the red rubber bands. We will take 2 at a time. We pull a pair onto the 1st stitches of the middle and bottom rows and a pair onto the 1st stitches of the middle and top rows. Then 2 pairs sequentially on each row. Take the white rubber bands. We put them on 3 pairs sequentially on the top and bottom rows. We connect the weaving on the 7th stitch of the middle row. We put on 4 pairs sequentially on the middle row. We put on the transverse rubber bands. We fold the white rubber band in half and pull it onto the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th stitches of all rows. We pull 1 red rubber band, also twisted in half, onto the 2nd stitches of all rows.Let's make eyes.We will wind the white elastic band 2 times on the hook. Move it aside and wind the black elastic band 4 times. Pull the white elastic band and put it on the hook again. You will get 2 white loops, then 4 black and 2 more white. Move the eye further on the hook and make another one of the same. We transfer the eyes one by one to 1 white elastic band.And we put this elastic band on the 4th sts of the bottom andtop row. Next, we will make a nose. Pass the white elastic through the red bead. If there is no bead, then you can simply twist the red elastic on the hook 4 times and transfer it to the blue elastic. Then put the nose on the 5th sts of the bottom and top rows.Let's make a smile.We put on a red pair of rubber bands on the 6th st of the middle row and on the 5th st of the upper row. Another pair on the 6th st of the middle row and on the 5th st of the lower row. Then again red rubber bands. From the 8th st of the middle row and to the end, we consecutively pull pairs of rubber bands. We do the same on the middle row. We connect the rows with a pair of rubber bands. We wrap the rubber band on the last st of the upper row 3 times. And again we pull the transverse rubber bands in 1 triangle.The tops of these triangles should be wrappedst-ki. Therefore, we pull the elastic band and throw it again on the st-k. We will weave the top row. First 2 upper elastic bands, then 2 lower ones. Then the entire row to the 8th st-ka. And the entire bottom row to the 8th st-ka. Here we always pull out only the lower elastic bands. We transfer the elastic bands from the 8th st-s to the hook and remove the weaving. This is the clown's hair. We place all the elastic bands from the hook on a pair of red elastic bands. We weave another such detail. We put this hair on the 1st st-ki of the lower and upper rows.We insert the hook into the very first ring of the rubber bands on the hair.We put it on the 5th st of the upper row. We do the same with the lower row.Let's stretch the part. We see that there are transverse rubber bands there. We find its part at the bottom and put it on the machine st-k.There will be only 2 of them.We do this on the upper and lower rows. We put the clown's body on the 7th stitch of the middle row. Weave the 7th stitch of the middle row, alternately transferring all the elastic bands, except for the elastic bands from the body, to the posts from which they are stretched. Next, weave the 6th stitches of the upper and lower rows, pulling out only the lower elastic bands. Weave the 5th stitches of the outer rows. The elastic bands will connect on the middle row under the nose. Weave the entire upper row and the entire lower row. And finally, weave the middle row. All the elastic bands met on the 1st stitch of the middle row, so we remove the elastic bands from all the stitches except it. And place all the elastic bands from the hook on a pair of red elastic bands. We make a knot and hide it in the clown's hair. We straighten the elastic bands, adjust the face, stretch the nose, and so on. It remains to make the sleeves striped. There are red rubber bands on the handles. They form 4 loops. Pull 2 of them.We put our hand through them and release the rubber bands. We do this with each red rubber band on the clown's sleeves and knee socks.
