Have you decided to arrange a puppet theater or make a gift for your child with your own hands? Amigurumi: a hare, cat, dog, or other crochet animal will come in handy for any of these occasions.
Moreover, for the manufacture of such a toy it is enough to master only one element: a single crochet (in the future it will be referred to simply as a column). For the figures to be with smooth lines, you will need to learn how to add or reduce the number of loops gradually.
First detail: head
Work always starts with a floating amigurumi ring. How to do it is shown in detail in the diagram. The number of double crochet stitches depends on the description of the particular part.
On the amigurumi ring, complete 6 columns. In the first to sixth circles, add 6 loops evenly.
From the seventh to the seventeenth, knit without adding, fixing between 13 and 14 rows of eyes.
From 18 starts the decrease and continues 4 circles of 6 loops. It remains only to fix the thread and stuff your head with cotton. The start of the amigurumi "hare" toy is ready.
Second detail: ear
Naturally, it will need to be knitted twice. After all, there are just so many ears of a hare. At production of Amigurumi "Hare" two options are possible: with short or long ears.
Option 1: Short Ear
In the amigurumi ring, tie 6 columns. First-second circles: add 6 columns evenly. The next five knit without adding.
In the eighth, reduce the number of columns by 3. Three more circles without changing the number of columns. Repeat the last four circles two more times. Sew ears to the head.
Option 2: Long Ear
On the initial ring, make 5 columns. The first circle to tie without adding. In the second, evenly increase the number of columns by 5. Two more circles without changing the number of loops. Repeat the last three circles once.
8th: Add 7 bars evenly. Link 5 circles without changing the number of loops. Then begins a gradual decrease. Fourteenth: reduce the number of columns by 2. Two circles knit unchanged.
17th: reduce two more columns. Circle unchanged. The 19th requires the reduction of two more loops. After it are three circles with the same number of columns. Repeat the last four circles two more times.
In the 31st, reduce two columns. Tie 10 identical circles. In the 42nd, reduce the number of columns by another two. Complete the ear by knitting another six circles without changing the number of loops. Details do not require filling, they can be immediately sewn. The result is a hare with long ears. Amigurumi will become cute and funny.
Third detail: torso
On a floating loop, perform 6 columns. The first to sixth circles are supposed to be connected with the addition of 6 loops in them. After them are 4 circles without changing the number of loops.
In the eleventh add 6 more columns. Next is the circle without change. 13th: evenly decrease the number of loops by 6. Two circles without reduction. Repeat the last three circles. In the last circle, evenly reduce the number of columns by 6. Now you can fix the thread and fill the body with cotton. It can be immediately sewn to the head. Moreover, it is recommended to fasten those parts that were the completion of knitting.
So that the amigurumi rabbit (crochet) turns out to be in clothes, you can already tie the body with the color that is chosen for this purpose. Then use it on the final rows of paws and for a hat.
Fourth detail: foot
It is clear that there will also be two of them. Moreover, it is recommended to make these parts different for the front and rear. Since they are narrow, you will have to fill the paws during the manufacturing process.
Amigurumi "Hare": front foot pattern
On the initial ring, tie 6 columns. Then a circle with the addition of 6 loops and one more without changes.
At this point, you can change the color so that the top of the foot is like a sleeve of clothing. Knit three rows without changing the number of stitches. Fill the foot with cotton.
In the next circle, reduce evenly 3 columns, and then 4 rows knit the same. In the latter, reduce them to 6, that is, another three. Fill the top of the foot with cotton. Knit the second same part.
Hare (amigurumi): description of the hind foot
The first two circles are supposed to be connected similarly to the front. Then a row with the uniform addition of 6 more columns and a circle without adding. Change the color to one that matches the color of the clothes, and knit the foot further.
Three circles: without changing the number of columns. Fill the blank with cotton. Then knit a circle in which to reduce six loops. Four circles to perform with the same number of loops. Add cotton wool inside the foot. In the last round, make a decrease in the number of columns by another three.
Fifth detail: ponytail
To make a real amigurumi-hare, you need to make a tail that is suitable in shape and size. It should be small and round.
In fact, its manufacture is similar to knitting paws, only very short. On the amigurumi loop, perform 6 columns again. In the front row add six more. Then knit two circles without adding. And in the last turn down three loops. The tail of the hare can be filled with cotton and sewn to the body.
Sixth detail: hat
It is useful for decorating the amigurumi toy “Hare”. It has openings for the ears so that the child can take it off and put it on if desired.
In a loop of amigurumi, tie 6 columns. In the next seven circles, evenly add six loops. Four rows to do the job without adding. In the next circle, in the places of attachment of the ears, make arches of four air loops. Then continue work in four more rows without increasing the number of loops.
Conclusion: decorating the finished toy
The cap can be tied with a crawfish step and sew stitches. For a bunny girl, it is recommended to use bows and flowers. You can tie a striped hat to a boy.
The eyes of an amigurumi toy can be made from buttons. Just like the nose. If you do not want to use solid parts, then embroidery is allowed. Then the eyes, nose and mouth will be embroidered with colored threads.
