How to crochet a baby ear. Amigurumi hare with long ears

A hat with crocheted ears looks very funny and at the same time original. Consider, for example, a baby's hat. A hat for little ones is not difficult to knit.

Funny cat hat with ears

You will need:

• Bamboo Vul gray threads (one and a half skeins), some pink yarn, black and white threads;
• fleece for lining;
• hooks numbered 2 and 2.5.

Size: head circumference 50-52 centimeters.

Description

According to the standard knitting pattern, we knit the bottom to the desired diameter (approximately 16-17 centimeters). Legend for crochet can be found with this one.

Next we knit in the round without increasing to the desired height. This is approximately 15 cm. We knit the next four rows like this: 2 dc, 2 convex (embossed) dc. Having knitted 4 rows in this way, we will get a headdress approximately 18 cm high. Now let’s start knitting the ears. To do this, divide the total number of loops into 5 parts and distribute it like this - one part (back of the head), two parts (forehead), two parts (ears). You will get approximately 22 loops each. We knit each ear, decreasing one stitch on each side in each row.

We knit all the other parts of the hat according to the patterns and sew them in the right places. We shape the muzzle and sew in a fleece lining. The hat is ready!

Eye diagram

We pin the nose in the center of the hat and the eyes above it. Then using a thin transparent thread we sew the nose and eyes in a circle. You can show a little imagination and attach beads or rhinestones to your eyes. For the antennae, we take two pieces of thread, trim them, and fasten them with reverse side, and then we go back a couple of columns and thread it again in the same direction. We twist the threads into a flagellum in the direction of twisting so that we get one thick thread. Then we bring the needle to the wrong side at the end of the tendril and move to the other. And so we do 3 antennae. We do the same for the other side and eyelashes. Secure everything from the inside out with regular threads. The crocheted hat with ears is ready.

You should end up with a cute little hat like the one in the photo.

Such hats look very beautiful on girls. For boys, you can come up with another color scheme. Any child would be proud to wear such a cute headdress, knitted with love for them.

Hat with ears: video master class

Kotoshapka: video master class

The upcoming wind and dampness lead you to think that you urgently need a hat with ears, how to crochet it?

So that it covers both the ears and the back of the head, is warm and not itchy for the child. Ideally, even a beginner without knitting skills could knit it in a couple of evenings.

I would like to make a lining for it, so that if necessary it would be double, and of course it would make the child happy. So that the little one’s ears are according to his wishes: cat, dog, squirrel or bear.

But if you order such a hat from quality materials, the price will be for handmade equal to the state. Therefore, we recommend that you knit exactly the one your baby wants! It will turn out quickly, warmly, uniquely, with love and cheaply!

Take the time and follow our article - instructions for beginners.

Let's look at everything in detail, how to do the calculations and start knitting, how to knit different hats for girls and boys, plus a lot of ideas on what you can easily do at home with photos and videos. Let's look at the most popular hat models in the autumn and spring. It can be a light one made of thin cotton, or a “winter” version of 2 hats or with a lining.

Let's look at 3 models of crocheted hats with ears.

1. The hat lies strictly on the head, tightly fitting. The gray hat in the photo is knitted with double crochets.
2. Varieties of ears with classic version and with thread laying inside, the shape of the ears.

   Red ear - single crochet, for example, the part is connected with a broach and the knitting is the same and in turning rows, where the knitting is different at the bottom. Black ear pentagon.

3. A hat made of 2 separate hats. Pink hat, inserted and sewn inside - gray, suitable as winter option very warm and not windy.
4. Hat with lining.
5. The hat is knitted in turning rows.

Measurements

The principle of knitting in the round is also described here. different variants loops with diagrams. How to add loops and rules for increases, pay attention to the desired shape of the cap. A description is given next to the diagrams different forms, as well as how to connect this option.

Bottom of the cap

Having done everything necessary measurements Let's move on to calculating the bottom of the cap.

OG /3.14 = DDS - diameter of the bottom of the cap. For a tighter fit and stretchy yarn, minus 1 cm; if you plan to make a lining or another hat inside, then add 1 cm to the diameter.

Threads and hook

For example, for an autumn hat made of 100% cotton BAHAR, hook 2-3, such a hat is knitted very quickly in literally 1-2 evenings.

The situation is exactly the same with acrylic or Nako wool blend, only there it is better to use a 3-4 hook.

Look carefully at the yarn itself, it shows the recommended hook size, the larger it is, the thicker the yarn you have chosen, and it is important to take into account your knitting density.

If you knit tightly, it is better to take a hook a little larger, but if it is loose, take a size smaller than the recommended one.

Instructions

The more accurate and detailed the knitting algorithm is in your head, the faster and easier it will be for you to implement it.

What videos and websites will help you?

The recommended sites contain detailed instructions, where the most important things are covered in detail and with photos. important details. The owners of these materials have been running their blogs for many years, posting videos and photos of their work, and it makes no sense to duplicate the entire article presented on them.

Olya Yurovskaya with a video about a classic cap

Prepare: threads, hook, scissors. Calculate the bottom of the cap and, if desired, the depth; this parameter can be adjusted during knitting and fitting.

We knit the bottom according to the rule of the circle, making increases as in the diagram

What loops do you need to master?

Start of knitting and casting air loops, half double crochets, connecting column. We start knitting with a set of 4 VP (chain loops), closing it in a ring using a CC (connecting stitch).

1. We knit 7 hdcs (half double crochets), increase 2 hdcs in each loop, at the end of the row there is a connecting stitch.
2. 2PP (lifting loops or VP) increase through 1 loop 2PSN (half double crochet), at the end of the SS row (connecting stitch).
3. 2PP (lifting loops or VP) increase through 2 loops 2HDC (half double crochet), at the end of the SS row.
4. 2PP (lifting loops or VP) increase through 3 loops 2PSSN (half double crochet), SS
5. 2PP (lifting loops or VP) increase through 4 loops 2PSSN (half double crochet), SS
6. 2PP (lifting loops or VP) increase after 5 loops 2PSSN (half double crochet), SS

Measure the bottom, if its size has not reached the desired diameter, continue knitting by making increases in each row, shifting by 1 loop. Having tied the bottom the right size(check the diameter with a centimeter), we knit without any increases, i.e. crown.

According to the video, we knit in a circle, Olya knits it in detail, loop by loop, explaining everything.

This hat has one drawback: it will not fit perfectly if the baby is not a newborn and his head has already grown, so we recommend that you do this:

There is one more secret, so that the ears are the same as the hat itself; for this, all knitting is done in turning rows, i.e. We reached the end of the row, turned around and went the other way to knit. Or we stretch it inside the ear working thread, if we knit in a circle.

These tips are suitable for people who knit hats, and for beginners, strictly follow the knitting process in the video. So we knit the crown until the depth reaches the ears.

Where to make ears?

We divide the finished hat into 5 parts, you should get it: at the back where the seam is - 1 part, make sure that it is in the middle, 1 part for each ear and 2 parts for the forehead.

We mark each part with a thread so that you can see where the ears end.

Knitting ears

So that you do not get confused, we will consider both decorative ears, which are sewn onto a hat (cat, bear, hare, squirrel, fox, mouse and owl..), and functional, covering the child’s ears and protecting from wind, cold, and also for fixation it on the head and a high-quality girth.

What is important to understand?

Ears are different

Classic ear covers: they can be of different shapes (triangular, polygons, circles, trapezoids, ovals), but their task is to cover the child’s ears. Decorative ears: triangular or cat, round (mouse or bear), long dog or rabbit, they are attached to the top of the hat.

It is extremely important to immediately see the ear knitting pattern, but you can come up with your own version. When you have knitted the desired depth of the cap, now divide the entire hat into 5 parts, 2 parts for the forehead, 1 for the ears and the back of the head.

But occipital part divide so that before and after the seam you get the same number of loops. Therefore, we begin dividing the loops from the back of the head.

We counted all the loops, divided by 5, got the number of loops and count from the seam in both directions, mark with contrasting threads or paper clips, then the ears and then 2 parts remain on the forehead.

Number of hat loops / 5 = Number of loops in the 1st part. Then we count half of the loops from the seam in both directions, mark it with a thread on the hat - this is 1 part.

For beginners, we will consider the simplest option, but it is not the only one.

Start knitting both ears on the same sides and knit in turning rows, making decreases on each side on the 2nd loop, i.e. We knit the first sc.

How will it look like?

Triangular

Pay attention to the photo, here the hat is knitted with single crochets in a circle, and the eyelet itself is swivel, you will immediately notice that the knitting is immediately different. At the end of the ear there is a loop for an aviator hat, so it fastens well with a button and will not come undone.

It is knitted very simply with chain stitches from the last stitch and fastened with sc or connecting post.

For an eyelet, for example, you get 22 loops - this is the size of the eyelet, subtracting 2 loops from each row, then after 11 rows you will end up with 2 loops, which transform into strings.

Second version of the triangular ear: Third ear option

Ears made of 6 squares

We knit hexagons according to the rule of the circle, fold them in half and sew them in place of the ears under or on the hat.

You can see the photo of what you should get next, related items, folded part and already sewn to the product.

Pay attention to how you fold it, you will do it at your own discretion, but this option tightly covers the child’s ears, and due to the double fabric, the wind does not blow through, even without ties.

The tighter the knitting, the better they will keep their shape and then ties are not needed.

Oval ears

They resemble a dog’s tongue, just make them two or two colors. The diagram is given below. They will look great for both hunting dog so does a rabbit, if you place them on the top of the head.

Ears like knitting in the round

When you want the hat ears to be perfectly similar to the main knitting in the round, then you should use Marina Trikoz’s method. This method works great when knitting sc. It is necessary to lay a thread inside and then knit; we will now show you in the photo how it will look.

Marina Trikoz, a needlewoman who has knitted hundreds of hats, describes in detail exactly how to do this, and her photos inspire beginners. And we came across the idea of ​​pulling the thread inside the eyelet from her.

Read the article about ears as the main mating.

What will you get as a result?

For boy

What types of costumes with a hat with ears do we recommend for a boy: a pilot with glasses on the top, a tanker, Shrek, a dog, a wolf, a bear, a cat, a hare, a mouse, a fox, a squirrel, a hedgehog, a pig, a cow, a panda, Mickey Mouse, Turtles Ninja, Luntik, Minion, tiger.

For girl

The following are suitable: Mini Mouse, mouse, cat, squirrel, dog, owl, bunny, fox, hedgehog, pig. In both versions, add a muzzle, nose and other details to the ears at the request of the needlewoman.

How to insulate a hat?

To make this hat warm, knit the same hat inside and sew it on; it is better to choose cotton threads, so the child’s forehead will not itch and it will be more comfortable to wear.

Insulation with fleece

The finished hat can be insulated with fleece, pattern and detailed instructions described with photo.

Harness

Now is the time to move on to tying the cap lobster step, if you planned it.

The first step is to give the edge of the product a beautiful appearance, as well as ensuring that there is no stretching.

The hat is ready and now is the time to present it to the owner.

Hat with ears for a girl or boy without elastic band

In the photo you see a hat with ears like a cat, it is knitted with double crochets from Jeans yarn.

The patch is knitted separately and sewn onto the hat.

Take: exhaust gas measurements (head volume), depth or height.

You will need: jeans or any other thread, a hook, scissors, a needle for sewing on patches, knit a train patch or any one that suits you, a little grass for the edging.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Cast on a number of stitches equal to the OG and knit in the round without increasing or decreasing with an even fabric.
2. Having tied the desired depth, tie the edge, picking up one and the other side with connecting posts.
3. Then, trying it on the child, sew the place where the ears will be, feeling with your fingers.

It's up to you to wear such a hat with or without a lapel.

4. If you additionally decorate it with an applique or train patch, it can look like in the photo.
5. For a more organic edging, the edge is tied with grass threads.

Hat with ears and elastic band

Take measurements. Prepare: Alize Abiye threads 100 g -410 meters or others, scissors, hook. Step-by-step instructions for knitting a hat with an elastic band:

1. We start knitting with a set of air loops, their number is equal to the width of the elastic band. In our case, these are 11 air loops (VP).
2. Unfold the knitting and knit 11 sc (single crochet).
3. Expand, lifting loop (VP), knit RLS behind the back HALF loop of the base, i.e. 1 half of the chain before the end of the row.
4. Expand, lifting loop (VP), knit RLS behind the back HALF loop of the base, i.e. 1 half of the chain before the end of the row. We repeat this until we knit an elastic band equal to the child’s OG.
5. Connect the last and first row of elastic.

Make sure that the knitting is folded correctly and not twisted anywhere, otherwise you will have to re-tie it.

6. Fold the beginning and end of the elastic evenly and tie a lifting loop. We knit through the outermost loops with a connecting post (CC). Preliminarily slightly shifting 2 knittings. We knit the last loop and one more for reliability. The connecting seam is ready.

If you don’t like it, then turn it to the other side and you will see that here it is completely invisible.

7. Let's move on to knitting the hat itself, knitting with single crochets. The height of the hat is 14 cm, in your case you will have your own size, then try it on your child.
8. We make a lifting loop and knit into each loop of the RLS row.
9. We knit all other rows in the round without increasing the RLS.
10. When the desired height is imposed, we knit a SS in the last loop of the row. We proceed to connecting 2 parts of knitting.

Make sure that the connecting seam is not visible and runs along the edge on your right or left.

11. We do VP, then knit on wrong side SS (connecting posts).

Congratulations on your finished hat, now you can repeat any other hat using the ready-made algorithm! Good luck with your creativity and crafts!

Good day!

Let's crochet a simple but very comfortable hat. This hat is suitable for both a newborn baby and an older child.


In the master class, I will consider the process of calculation and knitting using the example of a hat for a newborn. Size 36-38

If you want to knit a hat of a different size or from a different yarn, you need to take measurements and knit a sample for calculation.

Tools and materials:
1. Yarn "Denim" from Yarn Art or Cotton Gold from Alize.
2. Hook No. 3.5

Yarn consumption for a newborn's hat is approximately 30 grams.
Knitting density 2.1 dc per 1 cm

Yarn consumption for other sizes will depend on the size, type of yarn and individual knitting density.

The hat is knitted from top to bottom: first we knit the top part of the hat, then we knit the elastic band with the ears.

For a children's hat size 36-38, the depth and girth of the cap are shown below in the schematic drawing:

The upper part of the hat can be knitted with any pattern you like, not necessarily dc, as I knit.

In order to crochet such a hat with ears according to your own measurements, you need to know the circumference of the child’s head and the depth of the hat. For those who do not have the opportunity to take these measurements, you can rely on the table values ​​for the average head circumference and cap depth.

You need to find out the circumference of the baby’s head and the depth of the cap

This data can also be viewed in a table of standard measurements, for example this one.

I do the following: I measure the circumference of the head, and look at the depth in the plate.
We don’t need the bottom diameter from this table! We will calculate how many loops will correspond to the required head circumference. That's why at the beginning of MK I wrote that I would need to knit a sample.

In order to know your knitting density, knit the sample with the selected pattern. Its width is approximately 10 cm. We calculate the horizontal knitting density, how many loops are in 1 cm. Then we multiply the horizontal density by the circumference of the head in cm.

Example of calculating knitting density:

In a sample equal to 10 cm, 21 dc are placed (I measure the dc pattern).
Horizontal knitting density = 21:10 = 2.1 loops.
This means that 2.1 dc loops fit in 1 cm.

The circumference of a newborn's head is 36-38 cm. You can subtract 1 cm for a good fit. The green cap is knitted for a head circumference of 36. But it stretches to 38-39 cm.
I count how many dcs correspond to 36 cm:
36*2.1=75.6 loops. Here I shorten up - 76 loops.

You can make a reduction to a lesser extent, here we already look at the situation. If you use any pattern to knit the upper part of the cap, then count the number of loops in accordance with the pattern report, etc.

If the upper part of the cap is knitted with a pattern that does not form smooth edge(for example, shells), then in the last rows of knitting the top cap, the edge needs to be “aligned”.

The hat is knitted from top to bottom from the crown. I expand the bottom with increases according to the rule of the circle to the calculated number of loops (in my case, according to the rule of the circle I expand to 72 loops, I will add 4 loops later). But! So that the hat fits well on the head and does not fold at the top, I knit the last row with increases according to the rule of the circle one row from the penultimate row. I gave below verbal description rows of caps connected with dc.

Rule of the circle when knitting dc:

Row 1 – knit 12 dc;
2nd row - 24 CCHs: 2 CCHs are knitted into each column of the previous row;
3rd row - 36 Dcs: 2 Dcs are knitted per stitch;
4th row - 48 Dcs: 2 Dcs are knitted through two columns;
5th row - 60 Dcs: 2 Dcs are knitted through three columns;
Row 6 - 72 Dcs: 2 Dcs are knitted through four stitches, etc.

According to the rule of the circle, you need to add 12 dc in each row. When knitting the upper part with other patterns, you need to expand the fabric following the logic of the pattern.

According to my calculations, for a head circumference of 36-38 cm, it should be 76 dc.

Therefore, when performing increases, I focus both on the rule of the circle and on the calculated number of loops. And in order for the cap to take the shape of a cap, I will perform the last increments not in each row, but every other row.

I marked the number of loops in each row of the top of the hat on the photo:

I added the remaining 4 dc according to the calculation in the 10th row and reached 76 loops.

Attention! We knit the hat in circular rows; with this knitting method, the loops shift in a spiral and, accordingly, the “seam” from the instep loops at the back also gradually moves to the side.

Therefore, so that the back of the cap is knitted carefully, consider on your own how you can knit lifting loops that replace the first dc.

I knit instead of 3 air. lifting loops dc from the loop with which I connect the row. You can find this method yourself on the Internet.

Let's move on to knitting the elastic and ears

We knit the elastic in single crochets behind the back half loop (hereinafter simply sc).

For an example of knitting and calculating ears, I used a sample - a mini hat. IN last row This hat has 48 dc.

Algorithm for calculating loops for knitting elastic with ears.

Height of the elastic (number of loops, because we knit the elastic perpendicular to the upper part) =

Cap depth - Top height

We divide the total number of loops into 3 parts:

1 part back of the head with ear;
2 part forehead;
Part 3 - back of the head with ear.
48:3 = 16 stitches per piece.

1-16 rows we knit the back of the head and the right ear.

17-32 rows we knit the forehead.

33-48 rows we knit the back of the head and the left ear.

The number of loops in the last row of the top part of the cap corresponds to the number of rows when knitting an elastic band with ears: 48 dc and, accordingly, 48 rows of elastic.

From the loop on the hook we make a chain of ch of the required length. We knit the first row of RLS.

We fasten the last sc with a half single crochet to the same base from where the chain from the ch comes out.

Then, using a half single crochet, we move to the next loop of the top of the cap.

Unfold the knitting and knit row 2.

2nd row: 5 sc.

3rd row: 1 ch inc (at the beginning of each row, ch inc replaces the first sc), in the next loop we knit an increase (increase - 2 sc, knitted from one base). There are 6 sc in this row. When the row is completed, we fasten this row with a half single crochet to the next loop of the top of the cap, and with the next half single crochet we move to the next loop of the top of the cap:

1 cap base loop = 1 row of cross elastic.

4th row: 6 sc.

5-6 row: 7 sc
7-8 row 8 sc. This is the center of the eyelet; in the 8th row I also knit a tie.
9-10 row 7 sc (starting to decrease)
I do the decrease like this: I start the row with 1 ch of the rise, which replaces the first sc, then I knit the 2nd and 3rd loop together with sc.
11-12 row: 6 sc
13-14 row: 5 sc
15-16 row 4 sc. We finished knitting one part of the back of the head with the ear.

17-18 row. We begin to knit the forehead. In the 17th row there will be another decrease, since the number of loops on the forehead is 2 less than the initial number of loops on the back of the head.
In centimeters, the back of the head is 1 cm longer than the forehead! For other yarn, the number of loops will be different.

Diagram of an elastic band with ears for a mini hat.

We knit a tie in the center of each ear. For larger sizes, you can knit a hat without ties.

When 48 rows are knitted (that is, all rows of elastic are knitted), you need to connect the last row to the first. We connect the parts with a chain stitch (single crochet).

Now let's return to the hat for the newborn. Let me remind you that in the last row I got 76 dc.

To knit ears with an elastic band, the entire number of loops must be divided into 3 parts.

76:3 = 25.3 loops, fractional number.

Important! To knit ears, the number of loops must always be a multiple of 2, that is, divided by 2 without a remainder.

I divided the loops as follows:

Part 1 - back of the head and right ear - 26 loops;
Part 2 - forehead -24 loops;
Part 3 - back of the head and left ear - 26 loops.
A total of 76 rows will be knitted in the transverse direction, remember that the number of rows is equal to the number of loops at the base of the cap.

Pattern for knitting comfortable ears in the transverse direction

I start knitting the back of the hat with 9 loops, and the forehead with 7 loops! Let me remind you that the forehead is shorter than the back of the head by about 1 cm. For my yarn and my knitting density, this is 2 sc.

I make increases and decreases in the same way as in the mini sample.

I complete the knitting in the same way: I connect the beginning and end of the knitting with a chain stitch.

cap bigger size knitted with Jin yarn from Yarn Art and crochet number 3.25.

The dimensions of the cap are shown on a schematic drawing.

The number of loops in the last row is 88 sc.

I count the loops for the ears: 88: 3 = 29 loops and 1 loop left.

The ears need an even number of loops, so I think that for each part there are 28 loops and 4 loops left over.

I divide the loops as follows: 30 (back of the head) - 28 (forehead) - 30 (back of the head); I gave the remaining loops to the back of the head, 2 loops of each part.

I start knitting with 12 sc at the back of the head. I knit the forehead on 10 sc.

Increases and decreases by analogy with the sample (see example of knitting a mini hat).

And one more thing about calculating the loops for knitting ears, if when dividing by 3 there are 4 “extra” loops left, then we give them to the back of the head, as in the example with a large hat, 2 loops of each part. If, when dividing, there are 2 loops left over, then add the remainder to the forehead.

For example, let there be 74 loops in the last row of the cap.

74:3 = 24 loops and 2 loops left. In this case, we give the rest to the forehead.

I knitted a large hat without ties.

Knit with pleasure! Make yourself and your loved ones happy with your creativity!

Amigurumi. How to crochet a toy. Appearance passwords...

The amigurumi technique came to us from Japan. The main features of toys made using this technique:
- Close knitting Single crochet or simply RLS. In this case, the columns must be knitted clinging to both halves of the loop of the previous row. This results in a dense and even fabric.
- All (almost) parts are knitted in a spiral, starting from the “magic ring”. By adding or subtracting the number of columns in the rows, you can get elongated legs or round heads or even triangular ears.

You will need

1. Yarn in the right colors
2. Hook of a size suitable for the yarn
3. Scissors
4. Thick needle
5. Filling for toys (synthetic fluff, holofiber, etc.)

Amigurumi magic ring

The basis and beginning of knitting any toy.

Typically the first row consists of 6 loops tied around a ring of yarn. The ring is tightened and the first row of 6 loops is obtained (the future crown of the head, for example).
Further, for a classic circle, 6 additional columns are usually added in each row.
That is normal head amigurumi toys- this is a multiple of 6 scheme:
1 row - 6 loops
2nd row - 12 RLS (2 stitches are knitted in each loop of the previous row)
3rd row - 18 RLS (2 stitches are knitted in every second loop of the previous row)
4th row - 24 RLS (2 stitches are knitted in every third loop of the previous row)
and so on: 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60... depending on what size you need.

How to add and subtract the number of stitches in a row when crocheting toys

The top row is an increase in columns. We knit two double crochets into one bottom loop.

Bottom row - decreasing columns. We hook the thread sequentially to the two lower loops of the previous row and knit one with a stitch.

How to knit faces, ears and paws, as well as how to change the color of the thread and a few more tips, read below, under the tag:

Distribution of incremental columns in a circle

With the classic increase of 6 columns per row, 6 rays are gradually formed in the rows (the columns are visible, which are knitted two in one loop). Knitting takes on the appearance of a hexagon. If you are knitting a round head, then at some point you need to stop increasing and knit several rows without increasing. In this case, the six corners will smooth out by themselves.

If you are knitting a flat circle (a napkin or an elephant’s ear, for example), then you need to shift the place of the double stitches in each subsequent row so that they are not clearly on top of each other. Then the circle turns out to be more even, without corners. When I knit toys, I even like the appearance of 6 stitches on the head, so I don't move those double stitches relative to each other. And counting loops is easier this way.

The photo above shows the differences:
1. We see an amigurumi circle of three rows: 6, 12 and 18 RLS.
2. The fourth row is knitted 24 RLS, and the hexagon is noticeable.
3. The fourth row of 24 RLS is associated with mixing relative to the third row of 18 RLS. There is no hexagon, the circle is more regular in shape.
4. On last photo The fourth row is knitted without any increments relative to the third row, that is, again 18 RLS. And you can see how the knitting immediately bends and turns into a “cup”. And at the same time the hexagonal shape immediately disappears. This is the beginning of the future head, for example.

Both of these options involve distributing the extra columns evenly around the circumference of the row. This is true if we want to get a round head, like a bunny.
If the incremental columns are grouped all next to each other, then you can get various options bends. For example, to knit a face for Peppa Pig, all the extra stitches were located at the bottom (where the mouth is).

Knitting ears and muzzles of amigurumi animals

The number of columns that are added to each new row also matters.
The classic pattern for knitting a spherical shape is, as I said above, 6 additional stitches in each row (or vice versa, decreasing by 6 stitches in each row).
But other options are also possible. A magic ring can start with 4 stitches, and increases in a row can be 2 stitches, 4 stitches, 3 stitches, 8 stitches... It all depends on how smoothly or sharply you need to increase the circumference from row to row .

Round Bear ear is knitted according to classic scheme: 6, 12, 18 and another row 18 without increase. Increase in each row by 6 columns
The sharp ear of a Fox or Wolf is knitted: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 3 more rows of 12 stitches without increases. The increase in each row is only 2 columns.
The triangular ear of the Cat is knitted: 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18. Increase after the first row by 2 stitches, and in subsequent rows by 3 stitches.
The muzzle and nose are knitted in 6.6 black without increases, and then immediately 12, 18 gray. This makes the small black nose stand out.
There can be many options....

How to change thread color when crocheting toys

Two thread changing options (top row and bottom row) give us a different appearance of the place where the color change occurred in the knitting fabric.

Depending on the goals, you can use both options, getting a different appearance of the toy. For example like this:

How the legs and body of a toy are knitted in one piece

The first leg is knitted separately. Knitting the second leg ends with air loops. Next, the air loops are attached to the first separate leg and the entire structure is knitted in the round, gradually turning into the body of the toy. The legs and body after this method of knitting are a single whole.

Depending on the number of air loops between the legs, you will get a different placement of the toy’s legs (farther away or closer friend to friend).

A few more little tricks

1. Having finished knitting each piece, I leave long thread about 30-40 centimeters, without cutting it off immediately after the knot. It is with this that I will then sew the parts to each other. This way it turns out strong and neat.
2. It is convenient to first fold the ears, tails, and arms at the top into a flat piece and sew it, and then sew it to the body or head.
3. It is better not to stuff your hands (front paws) tightly with filler to the top, leave empty space inside. Then they will not stick out to the sides, but will naturally hang down.
4. Legs connected to the body (especially long ones) are sometimes inconvenient to stuff with filler through the neck. You can tie both legs and bottom part body, first stuff the legs with filler, and then tie the body and stuff it.

Good luck to you!!!

It is impossible to use acrylic completely, because products are made from synthetic materials They may be dense, but they won’t save you from the cold.

Master class for beginners

The yarn used is 100% Pekhorka. Dial 4-6 VPs and close them in a chain. Knitting begins in circles. Before the next row, a lifting loop is performed. For a row with RLS, 1 VP is required, for a row with SSN - 3 VP. Each row ends with a joint venture. Circular knitting with a height of 12 cm with increases in each row, then through a row until the moment when the length is equal to the size of the head circumference.

After this, no addition is made. Gradually the circle will turn into a cap. The edges of the ears can be marked with thread. Crocheting ears for a hat is not difficult.

Start with the first row of the part, then turn it over and cast on a lifting loop. The next row is knitted. The loops are cut according to the size of the ear. Then the edge is tied with a sc or a pattern in the form of a shell or a fan. At the lower edge of the ear, ties are formed in the form of a braid of rainbow threads.

The next two rows are performed without adding, and the next 5 rows are performed by decreasing. Identical increases continue around the bottom (6 sc per row) through half the row. Then the crown of the hat is knitted - 11 rows. The product is knitted to the required size. If desired, you can make a visor: select 28 loops in front, mark them with markers. When knitting the future row, loops are knitted behind the front wall of the loop and 2 more rows. The stylish headdress is ready.

Then knitting without increases. The bottom of the cap is done raised elastic band(convex or concave). Remains ready product decorate with applique and sew on ears. The details are worked in sc.

Teddy bear

It is recommended to choose a double thread for knitting, or use 4 threads for better density of the product. The hook is selected from No. 4. Work begins in a circle from top to bottom. For a head circumference of 49 cm, you need to perform 6 rows with a diameter of 13.5 cm. This includes 72 VP and a lifting loop. The remaining 9 rows are performed without additions.

The ears are knitted as follows: cast on 19 chain stitches for the back side. There are 14 VPs per ear. The front part consists of 26 VPs. Ears are knitted in 4 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the beginning and end of the row. There should be 8 loops in the 4th row.

Then the entire hat is tied with one row of sc and crab step. For example, knit 2 rows with a blue thread, while in the 2nd row make a sc for the last 8 loops to round the part.

Sew the ears to the hat. Knit the nose like the sole of a bootie dc, then perform two rows dc without increments. For a small gray triangle, cast on 8 VP and knit, decreasing 1 loop at the beginning of each row until you get 2 loops - 7 rows. Tie one row of sc. A small white circle is knitted from white threads and sewn to the triangle. The eyes are made in a circular knitting pattern, and for the patch, a square is knitted from RLS. Embroider eyebrows and a mouth on the muzzle, sew all the details to the base. The cute animal hat is ready.

Affectionate kitty

For an interesting headdress you will need gray threads, pink, black and white yarn. For insulation, purchase fleece. The hook size corresponds to the thickness of the thread and varies from 2 to 2.5. The description is given for a head with a circumference of 50 cm.

According to the usual pattern, the bottom is knitted required size(16 cm). Create columns in a circle without increments until the required height is reached. This is 15 cm, and the next 4 p. 2 CCHs and 2 convex CCHs are performed. After 4 r. the result is a hat 18 cm high. The next stage is knitting the ears. To do this, the total number of loops is divided into 5 parts and distributed: one part for the back of the head, two others for the forehead, and two more for the ears. This makes 22 loops.

Knit each ear, decreasing in rows one loop on each side. Eyes and nose are knitted in a circle of any size, ears in the form of triangles. Mustaches and eyelashes are embroidered. They decorate the animal's face and sew in a fleece lining.

Traditional hats

This option is suitable for a girl 1-2 years old. Pick up suitable shade threads in advance. For the lining, choose matching fleece. Dial 7 VPs and connect them into a ring. The circumference of the hat is 46 cm. The first and second rows are made with sc. The third row will be a pattern: perform a repeat of 5 loops ( lush column from 3 dc, 5 ch, fluffy dc in the same loop). Skip 4 loops and duplicate the pattern. 4-8 rows are knitted with RLS. The ninth row is made with a pattern. From 10 p.m. decrease the loops. It is more convenient to divide the fabric into 4 sections and reduce one loop in each row. The height of the hat is 14 cm, the rest is knitted from top to bottom.

The ears are performed as follows: knitted from top to bottom, casting on 10 loops in the first row and tying the RLS. In each row, decrease 2 loops (one from each edge). When 3 loops remain, knit together.

The edge of the hat is tied together with ear ties:

• 1 r: RLS. For rounding, perform a column, 2СН and СБН.
• 2, 3, 4 r: pattern of 3 RLS in one loop through 2 loops of the previous one. Tie ties from half-columns.

The product is completed with decorative ears. Knit 2 identical parts. To do this, dial 4 VPs and close them in a circle.

Making ears:

• 1 r: 7 RLS.
• 2, 3 r: RLS (in 1 and the last loop 3 each, in the middle one - 5).

Sew the blanks and lining to the hat. You can crochet a baby hat in various ways.
