One and the same image can be represented in the form of a toy, rug, tack, slippers, pillows, pendants on a cradle, key ring or magnet. These "transformations" are possible with any animal, in our case it will be a lamb (crochet). The scheme and description of the products are selected for beginners, offered in a sequence from simple to complex.
Lamb gloves
Very quickly knitted gloves in the form of a lamb. To do this, close the chain, knit in a circle with single crochet columns or half columns. This will be the body of the lamb. Determine the diameter of the circle by your hand, so that it is convenient to take hot lids, pans.
Having reached the penultimate row, from the inside of the knitted circle, sew the same size fabric lining. This will allow the tackle to be used longer. Grab your crochet lamb again. Knit two rows with single crochet and arches of three air loops.
Then move on to knitting your head. Create, like booties, from a chain of loops, tie it in an oval. As soon as the width of the head suits you, “expand” the muzzle, turning the work on the face or the wrong side. Embroider eyes, nose, mouth. Tie your ears separately. Now fasten your head to the body. Locate the legs, tie them with black yarn. To keep your paws drooping formlessly, make them short. You can hang the lamb by the arched loop or sew a special loop.
Rug, pillow, panel in the form of a lamb
The threads determine the type of product, but the image remains one (meaning the crochet lamb). The scheme and description for creating a rug, pillow, panel are almost the same.
- Knit the body in the form of a circle with uneven shapes. To do this, make a template on paper, work on it. You need to knit with elongated loops, like a washcloth. It turns out the body with wool.
- Next, knit an oval head, stuff with a padding polyester. Sew on your eyes, nose, ears. Fasten your head to the torso. Sew your legs next to it.
This is the basis of knitting, which will be the same for any type of product. Now let's pay attention to the nuances. For a carpet, the lamb is sewn with a dense fabric from the inside, and it is better to stick it on the material from which the bathroom mats are made.
For the pillow, the lamb is crocheted in mirror image, that is, the body will consist of two parts, stuffed with filler. And the panel is made of any thread, the lamb is glued to cardboard of the same shape, hung by a loop.
Tracks
The principle of creating booties in the form of a lamb can be any, the main thing is to use two types of yarn for the muzzle and curls (special wool with lumps, bumps, curls is sold). You start the work, like booties, with a long chain (its length should be one third less than the foot).
Tie it in a circle with single crochet columns or half-columns. Try on in the foot. Knit another row for lifting, switch to special wool with lumps. You make two rows, and then go to the toe, where you knit the “face” with wool. Then return to knitting the sides and heels with special yarn.
To get a reliable crochet lamb, sew on ears, embroider, eyes, nose with mouth. Also create a second track. Please note that the muzzle can be made round or elongated. If you do not want to stain the sole, then sew the leather backing according to the size of the foot. And you can make a pattern and associate slippers with a muzzle of a lamb.
Crochet: Amigurumi Lamb
Small amigurumi can be used as toys, souvenirs and even as a pendant on a cradle. We knit as follows.
- Gather a ring, knit 6 SC.
- Next, increase the rows by knitting 12, 18, 24 columns.
- The next two rows are knitted unchanged from twenty-four columns.
- Then the addition goes again in the rows, knitting 30, 36, 42 columns.
- Then comes a row without increments (this is necessary so that the crocheted lamb turns out with a narrow shaped muzzle).
- Again, two rows increase, it turns out 48 and 54 columns.
- Five rows go without increase.
- The following rows are reduced, knitted from another yarn, getting 48, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12 and 6 columns.
The head turned out. Sew your eyes over the eyelids. Veko knit from a chain with a crescent. Knit ears in the shape of a leaf:
- In the ring, knit 6 columns.
- Next, the rows are knitted with an increase and without them (12 columns, 18th, 24th).
- Now the same number of columns are reduced in rows until 12 loops remain.
Ears tighten, sew to the head, embroider a nose with a mouth in the form of a “slingshot”.
Continuation of Amigurumi
We continue to consider how to crochet a lamb.
- You knit the body like a head with additions (six, twelve, eighteen, twenty four, thirty, thirty six, forty two, forty eight and fifty four columns), four rows without changes, then alternate decreasing with rows without increments. Decreases go until there are eighteen loops left.
- Paws knit from a ring of three columns. Then increase them to twelve and knit a row without increases. Subsequent additions with 16, 24, 32, 40 columns alternate with the rows without changes. Then the row is reduced to 32 columns. Tie the “hooves” with threads, forming a bend. It turns out almost a real lamb crochet.
The outline of the limbs is described, now sew the legs and head to the body. Knit the tail with the usual "ball", sew on the back of the back. Please note that the details are narrowing, then expanding, so fill them at the same time, distributing the synthetic winterizer with a pencil. By linking several amigurumi, you can hang them above the crib with various clouds, suns, stars, planets.
Big lamb crochet: diagram and description
According to the above scheme, you can knit a large lamb. In fact, you do not need to use clear instructions; look at the dimensions and shapes of the parts. The head with the body fits in the same style, only the sizes differ.
Start knitting with a narrow part. Gather a chain, knit crochet posts in a circle. Having connected the circle, in the size of the crown, you stop making increases. You get a cup shape. You knit a couple more rows to sew on your ears, then add evenly the loops. To get an original crocheted lamb, change the color (white for the trunk, ears and crown, and beige for the muzzle and paws).
Change the thread, knit the muzzle with increments. It should form a pear. Fill with padding polyester, close the loop. Knit ears, fold, sew to the head. Embroider eyes, nose and mouth in the form of a “slingshot”, eyebrows, draw cheeks with acrylic paints. You can sew ears and tail from white plush, it will also look unusual.
We knit a toy
We continue to consider how to crochet a lamb for the game. Knit the body with white thread - just like the head. The body should be one third larger in length and width. In this case, it is better to start work with a wide part, then gradually narrow.
In parallel, fill the body with a synthetic winterizer, continuing knitting in a circle. Stitch the body with the head. Now knit beige thread paws, tail. Also fill them with filler, close the loop. On the legs, make constrictions with threads to highlight the fingers. Sew all the details.
Such a crocheted lamb may well become a souvenir for any occasion. Add a red cap - and it will be New Year's “Santa”, hang a heart on your neck - give it to Valentine's Day, sew a flower on your paws - and will be a gift for March 8, glue the lamb to the backpack - and there will be an unusual birthday accessory. And you can connect a whole family of rams and use them as educational toys to develop mathematical abilities.
How else can you tie a lamb?
A lamb crocheted from special yarn does not require a clear body shape, as lumps, bumps create the image of curls. This yarn is soft to the touch, so it’s suitable for toys, pillows. To this end, the sheep knits integrally.
Begin work with a muzzle, knitting it in a circle with ordinary wool. Then go to a special yarn, knit the crown of the head and torso. Fill with padding polyester, close the loop. Sew paws, horns (just a knitted strip coiled in a spiral into a circle) and tail. Embroider the eyes (an arc with eyelashes). The result was a sleeping lamb.
You can also tie the body in the shape of an oval or circle with elongated loops of ordinary wool, then the "curls" will create the necessary image. To make a “store” lamb crochet (the diagram and description are given above), buy eyes and a nose, make constrictions with monofilament, and use high-quality yarn. For kids, you can use multi-colored yarn. Sheep can be dressed up in dresses and pants, hats, then the image will be brighter.
Brief Summary
Use hypoallergenic yarn if you knit pillows, slippers, toys for children. If you crochet for a rug or a panel of lamb (the scheme is described at the beginning of the article), then you can take cheap threads that are sold on the market. The image can be anything, so you can create an author's scheme.
