The needlewomen know how much sometimes you want to create something that is interesting, unusual, and even useful in the household. Let's crochet a horse today . Why exactly her? Because it is a wonderful animal, beautiful, charming, loved by children and adults. In addition, this craft is useful as a gift for the year of the Horse. So, you can knit a voluminous toy or a flat panel on the wall. If everything is very simple with a toy, then with the second option it is more interesting. We will do it.
Materials
In order to start crocheting a horse, you will need the rest of the threads of different colors (orange or brown, white, black), a suitable hook for the yarn (you can take number 2 or 2.5), threads with needles, buttons for the eyes (or already made eyes ), pencil, lined fabric (this item is optional).
Beginning of work
We start knitting with a set of six air stitches with a brown thread, close them in a little ring and knit as follows: the first row is twelve double crochets, the second row is twenty-four. In the third row, we knit two columns through one, that is, we constantly increase the number. The fourth row - two columns in two, the fifth - two columns in three. The result is an even circle. Its value may be different, whichever is more like it. We end it with a crustacean step with black (or dark brown) threads. So we knit two more circles - for the head of brown yarn and for the muzzle of white (no need to tie).
Head
How to crochet a horse further? We take the head, we attach the ears to it. To do this, we knit the first and second rows of six single crochet, the third of four (at the edges of the two tables we knit together), the fourth of four, the fifth cut to two, and the sixth to one loop. In the same way, we make the second eye - and we tie the whole head with black thread with a crayfish step.
Muzzle and assembly
We take a circle connected by white thread and embroider a smile and a nose on it, and then attach the finished muzzle to the head. The next step is to knit the mane. We take black threads and make several rows of single crochets from one side from the ear to the muzzle so that several nice strands are obtained. Between the ears we knit three or four locks of bangs. Sew everything to the torso.
Legs, hooves
Crocheting a horse further means making four legs and hooves to them. The leg is done this way: a chain of air loops is drawn, the length of which can be any (optional). We tie it with a pair of rows of single crochet columns and proceed to the hooves. For them, we take four air loops, knit six crocheted columns in the first, rotate and continue to continue in half a circle.
General assembly
So, we crochet the horse further. We collect everything, sew or glue eyes to the muzzle. You can add a beautiful bow to the mane. Tie the tail to the body. From the wrong side, the product must be steamed and the lining sewn (or not sewn on if you do not want to). A loop is attached to the head so that the finished panel can be hung on the wall. This is how a horse fits in with a crochet. The scheme is quite simple, even beginners can do it.
