AMIGURUMI BEAR

Send

The art of amigurumi is crocheting small soft toys using colored threads and your imagination. A feature of amigurumi is that the head of a toy is always disproportionately large in relation to the body. Due to this, visually they seem even more cute and defenseless.
To knit a gray teddy bear in a scarf, you need thick acrylic (+ wool) Nord threads and a No. 2-3 hook, depending on the convenience.
You need to start knitting from the head, namely from the nose of the bear. You need to dial four air loops, connect and knit one after another in a circle with single crochet, adding columns in each row. The first row - eight, the second - ten, the third - 16, etc. It is necessary to add so that visually the knitting emerges in the form of an obtuse cone.

The knitting should be dense and even, so that the surface of the future toy becomes homogeneous and pleasant to look and feel.

To stuff the toy you will need a thin soft white knitwear, cut into small pieces. They should be tightly laid inside the part (there will be eight in total, four will need to be filled, of which the largest part is the head, the rest is the trunk and lower legs).

It is better to prepare more stuffings, it is consumed quickly enough. After the circumference of the cone became sufficient to grasp the head of the future toy, the rows begin to decrease.

In each row several columns are knitted together, thus reducing the number of loops.

The calculation should be such that, having received the shape of a ball, the hooker receives three loops on the hook, which are fast and neatly tied to each other.

The next detail is the torso. Absolutely the same scheme, but unlike a cone-shaped head (which, by the way, can be made much simpler - absolutely round), you need to give it an oval shape or the shape of a small ball.

The same packing method is used.

And rounding off the finished part.

The next stage is the lower paws.

Knot out the same way as the body, but even smaller in diameter.

The same way of stuffing. It is difficult to do this with small paws. It is convenient to use a hook to push the packing into the hole of the associated part.

On the head it remains to hide the threads deep into the details.

Bear needs two upper legs. Here the scheme is used - the connection of three loops, a row of four double crochet columns is repeated twice and at the top of the loop the loops are connected, forming a small volumetric foot. You do not need to stuff them! Tie two pieces.

On the lower legs, thread the threads deeper into the part, check that there are two.

Sew parts together with thin white cotton threads and a needle.

The hardest part is behind. In order to make ears, you need to connect two semicircles of three rows of single crochets in each. They do not knit a full circle at the same time, but finish in half and go in the opposite direction. Sew two ears to the head. Black thin woolen threads outline small eyes and a round black nose. In the photo, the bear is a mod, he has a scarf with tassels. This is a simple crochet with iris threads. Thread trimmers are tied to the ends of the scarf and form cute tassels. A scarf knits in an average of 15 minutes and great animates the image of a toy.
