To create a similar bird you will need an egg from Kinder Surprise, paper clips, two types of yarn (preferably the same color scheme, but in different shades) and a 2.00 mm crochet hook.
We place the paper clips inside the plastic base and begin decorating it.
To do this, we collect several air loops (chain loops) from the thread chosen for the base and assemble them into a ring. We create a small circle from it by knitting 5-6 circular rows with a single crochet (dc/dc). This blank should protrude slightly from under the egg, that is, be an order of magnitude larger than its diameter.
In order for the flat circle to become a tight-fitting cover for our testicle, at 4 points (equidistant from each other) you need to cut 2 columns. We choose the first and second “reduction zones” arbitrarily, and then we cut the loops opposite these selected zones.
Next we knit without changes to the very top.It is the absence of increases and decreases that helps to maintain and maintain the desired shape of the product.
Towards the end (namely in the rounding area), we gradually reduce the columns.
At the top of the head, from the remaining columns we pull out loops from all sides at once and close them.
Now we make tassels for our owl from light-colored yarn.
We cut 4 strips of 2-3 cm each and thread them through one of the side holes.
We put the two parts together and tie the entire bundle tightly with thread. We make the same brush on the opposite side of the head.
Then we knit wings from the same yarn. We dial 5 v. n and knit 5 straight rows of st./b. n.
In the next three rows we remove the outer columns, after which we close the remaining 3 loops.
We carefully attach the wings to the body using a needle and thread.
The final touch will be the eyes and beak. We will create them from white and yellow yarn. And for the eyes you will also need two small beads or large beads.
We crochet the eyes in a circular stitch. n, add beads and sew well.
We knit the beak directly from the base. To do this, it is better to take a thin hook.
Pull out 2 loops, immediately close them and cut off the protruding end. We hide these threads in the work so that the beak does not unravel and looks aesthetically pleasing.
To make it convenient for the child to take the toy, we make a small handle. The best option for this purpose is a large self-tapping screw. It will fit firmly and be firmly fixed, which will not allow the child to pull out the base or damage it in any way.
At the end, we wrap the handle with yarn 3-4 times to make it completely soft and safe for the baby.
The rattle is ready!
Important! Do not use glue under any circumstances! All parts should be sewn tightly so that the baby’s tenacious fingers do not tear them out of the base. Remember, the safety of the child comes first!
