Start knitting

You need to start crocheting toys by studying the description and diagram.

To do this, you need to know the basic conventions:

VP – air loop;
ss – connecting column;
sc – single crochet;
ps – half-column;
dc - double crochet;
ss2n – double crochet stitch;
inc – knit 2 sc in one loop, triple – 3 sc;
dec - make a sc in the next loop - there are 2 threads on the hook, again a sc in the loop next to it - there are 3 threads on the hook. We pull the main thread through 3 loops. This way the two loops are combined.
*2sc, inc*. Repeat *2 times (8) – two single crochets, in the next column, etc. Repeat twice. This makes only 8 loops.

Some details

The amigurumi technique involves knitting on both walls. Increases and decreases are used to give the toy its shape. You can’t just skip a stitch to decrease, as this will create a hole. To make the toy heavier, small beads are used and sewn into the fabric.

When starting to crochet toys, you need to familiarize yourself with the descriptions and diagrams in advance. All abbreviated names of loops should be clear.

Ring: diagram and description of amigurumi knitting

Typically, most models start with a circle with a hole inside it. The amigurumi ring technique will help solve this problem.

Detailed diagram:

Make a loop at a distance of 2.5 cm, the thread is between the index and middle fingers;
Insert the hook into the loop and pull through;
Grab the working thread, pull it through the loop and tighten;
Pull the hook under both threads (warp and tail) at the same time;
Grab the main thread with a hook (2 loops on the hook) and pull through the loops. The result is the first sc of the ring;
Knit 6-10 sc and tighten the thread of the remaining ring. The result is a semicircle of sc;
Insert the hook into the first loop and knit a sc.

Modern needlewomen have long no longer limited their hobbies to knitting napkins and sewing oven mitts, but are learning more and more new types of craftsmanship. Among them, amigurumi is gaining increasing popularity - the art of crocheting or knitting, which came to us from Japan.

Amigurumi - what is it?

Crochet is most often used in this technique. Traditional amigurumi toys are various animals that have human characteristics, for example, elements of clothing, accessories, standing or sitting on two legs.

The head, which is significantly larger than the body, and small limbs give amigurumi toys a completely charming, cartoonish look. And if you add suitable eyes and decorations, it will be very difficult not to be moved by the resulting miracle.

Amigurumi toys are knitted in the round and very tightly, since even during the knitting process they are filled with filler. It could be padding polyester, padding polyester or something similar. As a rule, amigurumi animals are knitted in separate parts and then sewn together.

Most often they are small, about the size of a palm, but you can create a character of any size - from tiny (5-7 cm) to huge (more than 40 cm). This depends on the size of the hook and the thickness of the thread used.

Required tools and materials

The good thing about amigurumi for beginners is that it doesn’t require any special expenses for consumables. Any needlewoman can find everything she needs in her box:

hook;
threads (different colors and thickness);
beads, beads;
eyes, buttons;
filler;
paint for tinting toys (to brown the cheeks, face, etc.).

In the process of creativity, each craftswoman will experimentally calculate the hook number and thread thickness that is convenient for herself, and in the future she will be able to independently develop patterns.

Amigurumi diagrams with descriptions of work for beginners

Note! If desired, you can attach cute crocheted wings to the heart, as in the photo.

Amigurumi is the art of creating small soft toys that are crocheted or knitted. The birthplace of amigurumi is Japan, but knitting cute little toys has its fans all over the world. The revival of such traditional Japanese handicrafts began back in the 70s, when the concept of “kawaii” appeared. “Kawaii” means something cute, touching, charming.

Crochet amigurumi style toy

This art became popular after the appearance of the Hello Kitti toy, which was invented by designer Yuko Shimizu. The product can have a variety of forms: be in the form of animals, movie and cartoon characters, all kinds of inanimate objects (cakes, cars or kitchen utensils). But, like any other type of needlework, it has its own characteristics and differences.

The main distinctive features of amigurumi:

Knitting technology toys

For fans of needlework, diagrams and descriptions of crocheted amigurumi toys have long been translated from Japanese into Russian, English, Spanish, German and other languages of the world. But in order to read the diagrams correctly, you must first become familiar with the Japanese conventions for it.

Amigurumi knitting technique:

Features of connecting parts

There are several ways to connect the parts of a knitted product:

Just sew the parts together with a needle and thread.
Hinge method.

The hinge method is a connection of parts, but differs in execution technique. This method allows you to make movable parts for a toy (for example, movable arms and legs for a knitted doll).

Master class on connecting parts using the hinge method

Using the hinge stitching technique, you can make the amigurumi's arms and legs movable. Let's look at this using the example of a knitted amigurumi bear:

When choosing a method for connecting parts, do not forget about those for whom the product is intended. Children will be much more interested in playing with a toy that has moving legs, as this provides more opportunities for play and fantasy!

Knitting workshops for beginners

Various crochet amigurumi animal patterns for beginners can be found on the Internet, but it is better to take them as a basis and create your own unique masterpiece. For needlewomen who are making such a craft for the first time, I suggest you study simple amigurumi crochet master classes, with their help you can easily learn how to knit cute toys, such as:

Mouse.
Spider-Man.
New Year's snowman.

Toy "Mouse"

To work you will need:

Yarn in two colors - gray for the body and black for the nose.
Two beads for the eyes.
Sintepon as a filler.
Hook.
Needle and thread for sewing pieces together.

To make a mouse it is necessary to tie each part of the body separately.

First we make the mouse's head. We take gray threads and start knitting the part from the “amigurumi ring”:

Until the last couple of rows are completed, fill your head with padding polyester and shape it into a ball.

Similarly, according to the pattern, we knit the remaining parts of the body and stuff them with filler.

All that remains is to tie the mouse's tail, which is made from one row of air loops. The length of the tail is chosen arbitrarily. We cut off the excess thread using scissors.

The legs and arms can be made movable by connecting them to the body in a hinged manner. The last thing we do is sew on our tail. The mouse is ready!

Such a mouse can be decorated with various clothing items, for example, a colored scarf or T-shirt. If the toy is intended for a girl, then tie a skirt for the mouse and a bow on its head. Your child will be happy with such a gift!

Spider-Man toy

An original gift idea for fans of Marvel and Spider-Man! As a basis for the toy, we take the amigurumi crochet “Mice” pattern, which we discussed above. But a toy "Spider-Man" will consist of only 6 parts:

To work you will need:

Yarn of two colors - red and blue.
Two white pieces of fabric for the eyes.
Black bead and black thread for decoration.
Hook.

We knit the head first.

The first eight rows are knitted with red threads, and from the 9th row we continue with blue threads. This is the beginning of Spider-Man's pants.
We make the arms according to the pattern entirely from red threads, and the legs start with red and continue with blue.
Before sewing the body parts of the toy together, you need to sew on the eyes from pieces of felt and use black thread to make decorative stripes on the head, as shown in the picture below.
We glue a bead on the body and embroider the legs, making a small spider. We sew the parts together and Spider-Man is ready!

A knitted snowman is one of the easiest toys that even a beginner can make.

To work you will need:

White yarn.
Colored yarn for scarf and hat.
Two beads for the eyes.
Orange and black threads.
Sintepon.
Needle.
Hook.

Making a snowman step by step:

We knit three balls for the body of the toy according to the pattern, stuff them with synthetic padding and sew them together.
We knit a scarf and a hat according to the pattern below. You can use brightly colored yarn to make our Snowman look more festive. We sew the hat to the head and tie the scarf around the snowman's neck.
We embroider a carrot nose with orange threads, and make him smile with black threads. All that remains is to glue the beads in place of the eyes and our snowman is ready!

Additionally, you can decorate the snowman’s body with buttons.

This snowman will be a great gift for the New Year holidays. And if you sew a small rope to it in the form of a loop, it can turn into a Christmas tree toy or a cute keychain!
