Knitted crafts can be not only cute and beautiful toys for children, but also excellent souvenirs or gifts that will decorate, and perhaps even complement the interior of your home. If you're just getting started with needlework, try amigurumi crochet small dogs and soon you'll want to fill the space with a plethora of these adorable stuffed animals that are easy enough to make on your own.

Amigurumi - knitting for everyone

One of the techniques of the Japanese art of knitting small animals is called such a beautiful and interesting word - needlewomen knit bunnies, cats, dogs, bears, monkeys, owlets, sheep and many other animals. Initially, such knitting was carried out both on knitting needles and crocheted, but recently, crafts made with crochet are gaining more and more popularity.

As a rule, in order to take ordinary colored yarn and use a very simple knitting method - in a spiral. Amigurumi dog like any other knitted toy in this style, begins with knitting, the so-called amigurumi ring. If you look at the diagrams, you will see that it is usually indicated there in the first row.

However, if you wish, you can start in a different way: just cast on two air loops and knit the number of single crochets that you need into the second loop from the hook. However, keep in mind that the amigurumi ring has a very big advantage, since with this method of knitting in the middle you will not have a hole.

In Japanese technology, unlike European technology, as a rule, it is not necessary to connect circles. It is better to crochet, which will be, relative to the thickness of the selected yarn, a couple of sizes smaller. This way you will be able to create a dense fabric in which there will be no openings or gaps, and this will help preserve the stuffing material and give the toy a more aesthetic look.

The amigurumi dog is made in parts, which are then connected. Sometimes, to give live weight to the limbs, plastic pieces are used to stuff them, and the body itself is stuffed with fiber filler.

Before proceeding directly to work, prepare everything you need:

• yarn of the desired colors (as a rule, you will need several of them);
• hook relative to the thickness of the yarn;
• filler (you can take cotton wool or synthetic winterizer);
• scissors, glue;
• special sewing needle soft toys or a needle with a large eye;
• blanks for the spout and eye (it can be beads), other decorations, if you want.

Decide on the intended appearance your future toy. An amigurumi puppy can be of any breed: dachshund, bulldog, poodle, dalmatian, papillon, shiba, shiba inu or any other. Depending on what you choose, you will need to select the colors of the yarn.

And here are some examples for inspiration. Let's start with the tax.

1. Dachshund amigurumi will look very beautiful if you take threads of bright rainbow colors to create it. You will also need a thin hook (No. 1.5).
2. First make the body of the dachshund. You need to start and finish in one color (let it be brown), and in the middle place stripes of all the colors of the rainbow. Having tied the body, fill it with filler.
3. Then grab your head. You need to start knitting it from the spout, that is, black yarn. Then also stuff and tie.
4. Now it's the turn of the neck and ears. And after that - the tail and paws.
5. When everything is ready, sew all the details together, glue the eyes (or sew on the beads). You can make a dachshund and a small beautiful collar. To do this, you need to tie twenty air loops, connect them into a ring and knit twenty single crochets. Then cut off the thread, choose some other color and with a thread of this color in the first row of the chain that you already have, knit another twenty sc from the back. To complete the collar, take a bead, thread it through the thread and secure.
6. Your rainbow and cheerful dachshund is ready!

By the same principle, you can tie any other dog. If you are not too confident in your abilities, you can use diagrams that clearly show the order of work.

Perhaps the most actual gift on New Year 2018 will be symbol toys in the form of dogs! Therefore, today we will show how to tie a dog crochet amigurumi. The master class describes in detail each knitting step.

For knitting we need:

- yellow, white and brown yarn;
- hook;
- scissors;
- sintepuh;
- 2 identical beads;
- needle.

We take a white thread, as we first knit the muzzle. We form the initial loop and do 2 air. loops.
Then, in the very first loop (2nd from the hook), we perform 6 single crochets. We will carry out all knitting only with single crochets.
In the 2nd row we will add. We knit 2 columns in each loop.
3 yard. We add again, but through the th loop.
4 rows. The increase is carried out every 2 loops.
5 row. We add through 3 loops.
At the end of 5 rows, we get a circle of 30 loops.

In the 6th row we knit 30 columns. We do not increase, but simply knit 1 column in each loop.
7 row. We will add again. This time we increase every 4 loops. At the exit, we will get 36 loops, since we made 6 increases.
8 row. We knit 36 ​​columns without a crochet.
We change the thread to yellow and knit 1 row of 36 columns.

Next, we will subtract.
10 row. We knit with decreases every 3 loops.
11 row. We knit without reduction.
12 row. Decrease again after 3 loops.
13 row. No concessions.
14 row. We will decrease every 2 loops.
15 row. We do not subtract.

16 row. We knit decreases through every 1 loop.
Further 17, 18 and 19 rows will be knitted without reductions. We fill the resulting part with sintepuh.
19 row. We decrease again through 1 loop.
Then we knit the decrease in each loop until the hole is closed.

The head was tied. We begin to knit the body.
We start with yellow yarn. The beginning is exactly the same as that of the head. We collect 2 air. In the first loop we perform 6 columns. In the 2nd row we increase their number to 12 by performing an increase in each loop.
Next, add through 1 loop. Then 1 row through 2 loops. We get 24 loops. It would be enough.
We knit 3 rows without increments.
We change the thread and perform 2 more rows. Change the thread again and knit 3 rows. We change the thread and perform 2 rows.
We change the thread to yellow and begin to decrease. We knit the decrease through 2 loops. Then in a new row through 1 loop. Do not forget to fill the part with filler.
Next, we will decrease until the details are closed in each loop.

We knit the hind legs. We start with white yarn. Again we form an amigurumi ring of 6 columns and knit an increase in each of them. We carry out 2 rows without additions and change the thread. We knit further 2 more rows.
In the next 2 rows we will decrease through 1 loop.
And we will knit 1 row, sewing the part with single crochets.

We knit the front paws.
Again we make a ring of 6 columns, then increase to 12. We perform 4 rows. Then we decrease through 1 loop and knit 3 more rows.
We change the thread and knit 3 more rows and 1 row to sew the part.

Ears will be knitted with yellow yarn.
We collect a chain of 12 air loops. Next, we knit 2 columns without a crochet. 1 in each loop.
Then 2 half-columns. Next 6 columns with 1 crochet. The last loop remains. In it we carry out 5 columns with a crochet.
On the second side we knit in the same way, but in the reverse order. First 6 single crochets, then 2 half crochets and 2 single crochets.

To tie the ponytail, we will make 9 air ones. We will knit 4 columns without naikda, then we will make 1 decrease. We knit a row with single crochets.

Embroider nose and mouth with brown yarn.

With the advent of small children in the family, many needlewomen begin to knit more and more little things for their kids - blouses, skirts, dresses ... Not the last place on this list is occupied by children's toys made by themselves. In today's master class, we will take a closer look at the example of how to crochet dog toys, so even if you have recently mastered the hook, do not be afraid to try!

For work we will need:

• yarn beige colour for body, head and paws, lilac color for ears, tail and nose, leftover yarn in black and white for finishing;
• hook;
• holofiber;
• some felt;
• needle;
• scissors.

Description of work

We tighten the thread and cut it, leaving a long segment for sewing the tail to the body of the dog.

Collar

With lilac yarn, we crochet a chain of 30 c. p. and we knit all the loops with double crochets.

Assembly

We sew the head of the dog to the body, wrap the collar around the neck and sew it. After that, you need to sew the ears to the head of the dog, and the legs and tail to the body of the toy. If desired, you can embroider fingers on the paws with a contrasting thread and sew circles of felt, which will serve as pads on the hind legs. Knitting toys is over!

We hope our lesson will be useful for you. Happy knitting!

Crochet puppy: video master class

Selection of schemes

In anticipation of the upcoming 2018, I want to prepare for the holiday, observing all the traditions. One of them is the presence of paraphernalia corresponding to the symbol of the year. From this article you will learn how to crochet an amigurumi dog. Detailed schemes will help to create original toy, which will decorate the room or settle on the Christmas tree.

Features of knitting amigurumi

Knitting of each small toy begins with the formation of a ring, which, after creating the first row, is tightly tightened. With this method, the central hole closes, which indicates correct and high-quality work. In this technique, knitting is not interrupted, the beginning of the row is not distinguished by lifting loops, but is knitted in a circle and forms a spiral. Often an amigurumi dog consists of several parts that are created separately and then sewn into one product. Usually work begins with knitting large parts, such as the head and torso. Then they knit paws, a tail and form a muzzle with ears.

In order to avoid cracks and gaps in the product, it is recommended to use a smaller hook, which is recommended by thread manufacturers. Thanks to this little trick, the loops will fit snugly together, preventing the stuffing material from breaking out.

Image change

The size and appearance of the amigurumi dog can be easily changed by increasing or decreasing the number of loops and rows. Also, the thickness of the yarn plays an important role in the size of the puppy. In order for the toy to be stable, the limbs are filled with weighty granulate, and the body itself with cotton wool or padding polyester. The animal can be mobilized with the help of a wire, which is placed in an empty product in the form of a frame, and then the filler is carefully and evenly distributed along the created skeleton.

Necessary materials

To knit a small amigurumi dog, you need the right yarn. If you want to combine several colors, you should choose threads of the same composition. Otherwise, your parts will not match each other, and the product will turn out awkward. Small animals are usually knitted from cotton, wool or acrylic.

Amigurumi - knitting for everyone

One of the techniques of the Japanese art of knitting small animals is called such a beautiful and interesting word - needlewomen knit bunnies, cats, dogs, bears, monkeys, owlets, sheep and many other animals. Initially, such knitting was carried out both on knitting needles and crocheted, but recently, crafts made with crochet are gaining more and more popularity.

As a rule, to knit amigurumi, ordinary colored yarn is taken and a very simple knitting method is used - in a spiral. An amigurumi dog, like any other knitted toy in this style, begins with knitting the so-called amigurumi ring. If you look at the diagrams, you will see that it is usually indicated there in the first row.

However, if you wish, you can start in a different way: just cast on two air loops and knit the number of single crochets that you need into the second loop from the hook. However, keep in mind that the amigurumi ring has a very big advantage, since with this method of knitting in the middle you will not have a hole.

In Japanese technology, unlike European technology, as a rule, it is not necessary to connect circles. It is better to crochet, which will be, relative to the thickness of the selected yarn, a couple of sizes smaller. This way you will be able to create a dense fabric in which there will be no openings or gaps, and this will help preserve the stuffing material and give the toy a more aesthetic look.

The amigurumi dog is made in parts, which are then connected. Sometimes, to give live weight to the limbs, plastic pieces are used to stuff them, and the body itself is stuffed with fiber filler.
