Prepare for work:
1. Hook number 2
2. Threads of two colors (preferably 100% cotton)
3. Holofiber or synthetic winterizer (for filling)
4. Beads (for eyes)
5. Thread for sewing (black)
Designations:
VP - air loop
RLS - SC
PSN - half crochet
CCH - double crochet
SS2N - double crochet
Increase - expansion due to knitting of two elements from one loop (RLS, PSN, SSN)
Decrease - narrowing the work by knitting two elements together, and thus forming one loop of two.
Working process.
Head.
Any part of the body of our future toy begins with two air loops. In the first loop we perform 6 scs (we get 6 loops). Using the connecting loop, We close the circle.
Row number 2: we perform 2 sc in each loop (we get 12 loops).
Row number 3: we knit, alternating 1 RLS in one loop, 2 RLS in the next - until the end of the row (we get 18 loops).
We knit the next four rows without adding (18 loops in each row).
Row number 8: we carry out reductions: 3 sc, 6 decreases, 3 sc. This is the narrow part of the face where the eyes and nose will be.
Row number 9: until the end of the row we alternate 1 sc and 1 decrease.
Row number 10: we knit without changes.
We fill. The filler can be a synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, cotton wool (but cotton wool - in extreme cases). It is desirable to stuff all parts of the toy tighter.
We make decreases, tighten the loop until it is completely closed. We hide the thread in the lower (back) seam.
Torso.
The beginning of knitting is the same as at the head, only we make a circle from 5 sc (5 loops).
Row number 2: we knit 2 scs (10 loops) into each loop Then we knit 10 rows without increases. At your discretion, the body can be made shorter or longer.
Row number 13: 5 decreases.
Now we stuff, we make the last decreases and tighten the hole. We pull out the remaining thread to the place where the head will subsequently be sewn, we fix it there.
Forelegs
We knit a circle of 4 sc and immediately go to the second row. We knit in a spiral, without connecting loops.
We knit a leg a little longer than the trunk. You can knit “by eye”, but it is better to count the number of loops in the process of knitting so that the details are the same. Similarly, we knit the second foot.
Hind legs.
Perform a circle of 5 sc. We knit without addition another 14 rows, in the usual way, not in a spiral. Each row ends with a connecting loop.
We finish knitting, fill with holofiber. We knit the second foot in the same way.
Ears.
We knit a chain of 3 VP. In the first loop we knit 6 PSN, in a circle we do not connect. We are finishing. We knit so the second eye.
Dress.
We collect a chain of VP equal to the circumference of the body. We connect in a ring.
We knit in each loop of CC2H.
Second row: we knit in the same way as the previous one, without increases.
Third row: in each loop we knit 2 CC2N.
Fourth row: knit with any of the varieties of the “shell” pattern, using PSN or CCH. To finish.
Collar.
Dial a chain of air loops equal to the circumference of the head, connect into a ring.
Second row: knit 1 PSN in each loop. To finish.
Embroider the nose on the muzzle with black sewing threads in 4 additions. Sew on bead eyes, embroider eyebrows.
Choose a place for the ears, pin them to the head and sew.
Sew to the body all parts of the body.
We pass the collar over the head, sew it to the dress.
You can knit a headband and a belt for her (a simple chain of VP).
Our baby bear is ready!
