Each child will certainly be pleased with crocheted amigurumi cats. In addition, they can be made with various additional elements: a bowl, fish or flower. Then they will acquire their own character and it will be interesting to play with them.
What materials may be required to make amigurumi?
Hook and yarn in different colors. With its help, you can get red, black, white or gray amigurumi cats, you can also make them glades and all kinds of decorations.
Feline girls will need satin ribbons to make bows on their head or neck. Thread with a needle to sew the decor to the main details.
Thin wire will be indispensable for tails. Then knitted amigurumi cats will become like living ones.
Cat without paws, knitted from one piece
Its manufacture begins with the head, or rather with the ears. To do this, you need to dial a chain of eleven loops. On the first loop with three airs for lifting, tie two columns with a crochet, complete them at one vertex (rise and two columns). This is the first ear. Then there are nine single crochet (hereinafter - the column). In the last loop: three double crochet with one vertex. The second ear. Repeat the same knitting on the same starting chain to get a circle. Everything else knitting will be based on it.
Next round: 22 columns. Then you need to evenly add two loops, knitting two columns from one base. Fourth row: tie the posts with a uniform addition of 6 loops. In the fifth and ninth circles, continue work evenly without adding loops.
In the tenth to twelfth, perform a uniform decrease in six columns. This completes the knitting of the head of such a toy as an amigurumi cat. The diagram continues the description of the work in the neck of the animal.
Perform an increase of 4 columns in one circle. Repeat this work in two more rows. Now it’s supposed to fill the cat’s head with cotton.
Continuation of knitting - the body. It begins with three circles in which you need to perform the uniform addition of loops. Namely, 4 columns. Then knit six circles without changing the number of loops. In the last three rows, you need to make a rounding, that is, evenly reduce the number of columns by 6. Fasten the thread and fill the trunk of the cat with cotton.
Simple amigurumi cats are almost ready. It remains to tie the tail and sew it in place. On the amigurumi ring, knit 4 columns, add 4 more in the first round. Then knit without adding 8 rows. The final part of the tail of the amigurumi cat: three circles with a decrease in two loops.
Bowl stand
The stand, on which amigurumi cats can comfortably fit, fits in two parts. The figure below shows a diagram of one such part. If we connect all these rows, we get a very large stand, for example, for two cats at once. If you need to make it for one, then the number of rows must be reduced to 4-5.
Connect two such parts with each other using half columns. Insert a circle of cardboard in the middle.
Bowl for cat:
- on the amigurumi ring, perform 6 columns;
- add 6 loops evenly;
- repeat the second row two times;
- knit two circles without adding columns.
White thread repeat the knitting of the first three rows. It will be milk in a bowl. It will need to be sewn to the bottom. And then put together all the details: a stand, a bowl and an amigurumi cat.
Heart shaped cat
Although the heart does not seem very simple, knitting it is not difficult. You need to start work with two identical parts that will give the head and back of such a toy as an amigurumi cat (crochet). The scheme is similar to the one that was described earlier.
First, on the amigurumi ring, you need to tie 6 columns. Then perform an increase of 6 loops in six rows. The next 8 circles to knit without increasing. The last row must be performed with the reduction of six columns.
These details need to be sewn along the width of the back. Then tie around the whole big circle, gradually reducing the number of columns. This decrease is supposed to be done at the junction of two parts. You get one detail that will already resemble the shape of a heart. This knitting should be continued until a ring of 18-16 columns is obtained.
Now five circles to continue work without decrease. These will be the paws of an amigurumi cat. The item must be filled with cotton.
Now you need to tie the stand support for the legs. Pick up a coin of such a size that it fits the hole of the legs. Tie two circles of amigurumi and sew a coin between them. It remains to fix this base at the bottom of the heart.
Tie the triangles-ears that are sewn onto the head. Create a tail, which is filled with cotton, after inserting the wire into it. To fasten. Embroider eyes and nose. Crochet amigurumi cat is ready.
