Lamb from beads, master class
Each work involves a certain sequence of execution. The bead lamb consists of two identical halves. The scheme and detailed instructions will reduce time and eliminate difficulties in the process.
- First, weave a chain, which should consist of three crosses. When forming the fourth, do an inversion to the left. To do this, cross the ends of the fishing line in beads at number 13.
- Next, make another turn, and then weave the second row.
- Weave a single straight chain of 22 beads. Consists of five similar crosses - a leg of a lamb. Near the third cross in a row, complete with black beads, this part later “turns” into a hoof.
- Adjust the part of the woven leg so that the fifth cross coincides with the first. Cross the ends of the fishing line, then turn on the existing cross on the 21st bead.
- After that, weave a multi-row cloth - four rows in a row, where each row consists of four crosses.
- Beginning with the 73rd bead, weave the front foot in the same way as the back. Pull the last segment to the first bead of the leg and cross the fishing line.
- Then make a turn along the already formed cross to the 72nd bead.
- Weave a row of black crosses. Crossing the ends in a black bead at number 97 is the future eye.
- Next you need to add another segment to the previous row. To do this, put three beads on the right end of the fishing line and thread it through the bead at number 65 and number 98. After that, put in two more beads and cross the ends on the last one.
- Weave two cross-shaped details, the last of which turn down, and the next turn towards the body. To make the final cross, pass the left edge of the line through the 104th and 96th beads. Put a bead on one of them and cross the ends on it.
- Next, braid half of the figure with crosses. To do this, type three beads on the left side and cross the ends on the last of them. Then thread the right tail into the 94th bead, and string two more on the left end and cross the ends on the final bead.
- According to the same principle, form the chest of the figure and connect the legs, using the principle of combining two single chains. At the same time, push the tips along the beads of the hoofs to the opposite side.
- Next, braid the abdomen and back of the lamb. Then return to the head and draw the right line through the 107th bead. Put on the left white, then red beads and cross both fishing lines with a red bead. Similarly, perform the second half of the lamb figure. However, the legs will need to be fixed on the opposite side.
- Connect the second half of the body with the first, using the technique of combining two single chains. In the course of your work, to give the toy volume, fill it from the inside with synthetic winterizer or cotton.
- To form the horns, take the yellow beads and weave them, separately attaching the lamb to the head. The work is completed. You should get a bead lamb.
The master class presented in the article is aimed at conciseness and accessibility of the material presented. We hope that the time spent has brought you benefit and pleasure from the work done.
