Having decided to create a toy with your own hands, you should draw it on a piece of paper in full size. For the first work, choose a simpler model to practice. If the image of objects presents certain difficulties, then use a piece of paper in a box. This will significantly save time and facilitate the process. Then, choosing the right thread, begin to knit parts. Legs and torso are best made in the form of cylinders. Do not forget to leave a place to fill the toy.
If crocheting is not a problem for you, then you can do, for example, a penguin. Simple enough in execution, it is very effective due to the combination of two colors of yarn. Tie the body in the form of a cylinder expanding downward. Then tie the head, add a beak of red yarn, as well as small black wings. After filling the penguin, sew all the details.
