The shelves of children's stores are full of a wide variety of toys. If you want and have the opportunity, you can buy anything you want. However, knitted toys will always be more useful and interesting for both children and adults. It is important that such a toy can be made together with the child, which means that he will value it more than others. Let's learn how to make them.
A knitting toy is much more interesting than stamped store-bought ones.
Cool toys that you knit will always delight outside observers. After all, this is painstaking work that not everyone will decide to do, and all because without basic knitting skills this cannot be done. Most often, cats or hares are knitted using a hook, but due to the knitting structure, these toys turn out to be rigid and frame-like. And knitted ones are soft and delicate products. Whether they will be bright or in a calm tone depends on the quality and color of the yarn you choose.
But you need to start work, of course, with an idea, and it can be built on the following:
Most often, craftswomen share their patterns according to which they knit toys, but you can do it yourself without any difficulties.

Every needlewoman, seeing amigurumi (small knitted toys) for the first time, falls in love with them immediately and forever. And he immediately wants to get to work to crochet a lot of bunnies, cats, bears, and dolls. But there is no need to rush in this matter. Even if you know how to knit a little, amigurumi requires a little more practice, perseverance and care. For example, for crocheting napkins, airiness and lightness are important, for knitted toys - on the contrary: density, perfectly even texture of the fabric, adherence to special rules, which can be found in the article “The 7 most common mistakes among beginners” on our website.
It is better to start knitting toys with simple, understandable and proven descriptions (patterns). Especially for beginner amigurumers, we have made the best selection for beginners. It is with these toys that it is best to learn to knit. They are simple, detailed, error free (very important for beginners) and easy to assemble. Let's tell you a secret: assembly and design is the most difficult, but at the same time exciting process in creating amigurumi. Although things may be different for you.
7. It’s great to practice on ladybugs and snails. The most simple and naturalistic cow will not take up much of your time. You can knit a lot of these cows, in different colors, and give them to all your friends or colleagues. Of the more complex ones (if you feel strong enough), this one is very popular among needlewomen Dusya the cow. The good thing about snails is that they can be made from yarn of any color. They are not difficult to assemble, and the design ends with the banal sewing of eyes. Very good and sufficient simple snails live on our forum, and there are also great snails from Olesya Solozhenko.
8. Although the Year of the Horse has already passed, there are very successful descriptions of these beautiful animals that have not left anyone indifferent. For example, this simple one horse from Natalia Kalmykova. Learning to knit on such horses is a very good idea.
9. Are you tired of cats yet? There is a very simple and funny cat from Diana Egoyan. You can take yarn of any color, minimal assembly and a very fun design - what beginners in knitting toys need so as not to lose interest in amigurumi.
10. Sheep. It is, of course, better to knit sheep with textured yarn. As you know, this is quite difficult, especially for beginners. However, there is a textured yarn that is quite easy to crochet. For example, “Lotus stretch grass” from Kamtex or Adelia “VALERI” (you can find out more in the topic "In the world of yarn" on our forum). The most popular sheep on the Runet -
What could be cuter than a toy, especially one made with your own hands? Since ancient times, humanity has used improvised materials to create such crafts: leather, fabric, clay and plaster, threads and much more.
Today, homemade dolls and animals have become very popular. We bring to your attention crocheting toys for beginners with detailed patterns.
Crocheting amigurumi toys has long been a favorite activity of many needlewomen.
This is a Japanese handicraft art. Using knitting needles or a hook, small animals and creatures similar to people are created. The peculiarity of the technique is the process of knitting in a spiral without joining the rows.
Crafts in this style turn out to be very attractive and cute, even despite their characteristic disproportion - the head is larger than the body.
Crocheting toys with patterns is not particularly difficult. The main thing here is to learn to read them correctly.
Although the amigurumi toys themselves have become quite popular in the CIS countries, there are very few diagrams in Russian. They are mainly found in Japanese and English. But the main thing is not mastery of the language, but the ability to correctly interpret symbols.
The amigurumi pattern is a knitting picture and a table indicating the number of rows and types of loops.
For example, in this diagram we read that the 9th row consists of 7 stitches and increasing loops, which must be repeated 6 times.
1. Amigurumi are not knitted entirely at once; individual parts are first created, and then they are joined together.
2. The knitting sequence is as follows:
3. After knitting the first row, make sure that you have chosen the right hook and you get tight loops without gaps.
4. Fill the product carefully based on its degree of stability:
5. Do not use fabric or thread scraps as filler. This significantly reduces the quality level of the toy.
6. Hide the ends of the yarn and threads inside the product.
Crocheting toys for beginners is not possible without using the following basic tools and materials:
Also, beginners cannot do without one of the most important things that simplifies crocheting toys - a weaving pattern.
Whatever shape and complexity of the toy you choose, each one will start with an amigurumi ring. By the way, this detail can be used in other crochet techniques.
The amigurumi ring is not only a distinctive feature of toys made in this style, but also a necessary condition for high-quality knitting. It guarantees the absence of a hole in the center of the circle, which sometimes appears not only in beginners, but also in experienced needlewomen. Let's take a closer look at crocheting amigurumi toys.
Schemes for creating a ring:
The amigurumi ring is ready. You can continue knitting the toy or make several such blanks for the future.
For beginners, it is better to start with products that have a minimum of parts. So, what will crochet help us create?

To make the doll's hair, you need to insert a knitting needle into Tilda's body near the shoulders and several pins into the head along the parting. For convenience, tie one end of the thread to the knitting needle. Start winding your hair in a figure eight around the ends of the knitting needles through the crown. After several turns, secure the hair on the crown with a needle. Continue winding, laying the threads from the crown to the back of the head and securing with stitches all the time. When your entire head is covered with hair, you need to insert a needle and thread into your neck, as if you were tying low ponytails.
Tie the thread at the place where the knitting needles are (thread the thread instead of the knitting needle), pull the thread up, lifting the hair, then secure with thread and a needle on the sides so that tufts are formed.

Bunny knitted from soft yarn
To work you will need:
The bunny's body is knitted in one piece from the bottom up.
Ballerina bunnies
More bunnie knitting patterns:
50 g boucle threads
20 g of smooth threads (for the face and paws of the sheep)
black and brown threads for decoration
knitting needles, needle, padding polyester or other filler, bell
We knit the head in stockinette stitch. You need to cast on 6 loops with a regular beige thread and double the loops in the first row. We knit the second row according to the pattern.
Row 3: double the first stitch, knit the second stitch, repeat until the end of the row.
Row 4: knit according to pattern
5th row: the first loop is doubled, the second and third are knitted.
7th row: the first loop is doubled, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th are knitted.
We add so many loops so that there are 6 loops between the doubled loops.
After the additions we knit 12 rows.
Now we need boucle thread. For this we take 2.5 mm knitting needles.
The front side is knitted with purl stitches, the back side with knit stitches. We knit 5 rows.
We decrease the loops in the reverse order: knit 2 loops together:
beginning of the row - knit 2 loops, and then repeat after 6 loops
beginning of the row - knit 2 loops, and then repeat after 5 loops
We should have 6 loops left on the knitting needle. We cut the thread, pull it through these 6 loops and tighten.
We begin to knit the body with regular threads from 6 loops. In the second row we add loops in the same way as we used when knitting the head. When we knit three rows, we switch to boucle yarn. We knit again with additions until 10 loops are reached between the added loops. After the knitted fabric reaches 7-9 cm, we begin to decrease in the reverse order.
We knit 2 loops at the same time at the beginning of the row, repeat the decrease after 10 loops.
In the next row we decrease at the beginning of the row and after 9 stitches. There should be 6 loops left on the knitting needle. Pull the cut thread through them and tighten.
For the tail we also use boucle yarn. Cast on 8 loops. We knit in garter stitch, decreasing in every 2 rows by 1 loop at the beginning of the row and at the end. When there is only one loop left on the knitting needle, cast it off.
For the ears we cast on 8 loops. We knit 8 rows. We make decreases in 2 rows: we knit all the loops by 2. After that we make decreases until there is 1 loop left on the knitting needle. Close it and cut the thread.
For the legs we use black yarn. We start knitting with 8 loops. When 3 rows are knitted, change the thread to a light one and knit 10 rows. We fill the finished parts with padding polyester.
Sew the muzzle to the head, not forgetting to leave a hole on the top of the head. Fill it with padding polyester and sew it on.
We do the same with the body. We connect the head and torso. We sew in the tail and ears. We sew the legs, pulling them together. To do this, the thread is passed through the tummy. We decorate the muzzle and hang the bell around the neck.
