How to tie a brownie amigurumi?

The Japanese word amigurumi means knitting toys. This process is not very difficult for those who already know how to crochet. Amigurumi-style toys are usually cute animals and people. A popular type of knitted toy is a brownie from cartoons.

Amigurumi toys are knitted in a spiral with single crochet columns (st. B / n.). Knitting should be dense, so that the filler does not subsequently crawl out of the finished toy through the gaps between the columns. The most suitable yarn for knitting a brownie is acrylic from various manufacturers. Acrylic yarn has a wide range of colors, an ideal thickness for knitting toys and a reasonable price. At the beginning of work, the so-called amigurumi ring (KA) is knitted: wind a working thread twice on the index finger of the left hand. Insert the hook in two circles on the finger, then grab the working thread and drag it. Grab the working thread again and knit the first stitch. Next, we tie the amigurumi ring with single crochet columns. Continue knitting in a counterclockwise pattern.

Outwardly, housekeepers differ from each other. The brownie Kuzya is a red-haired bully who looks as much like a child as possible. Brownie Booba looks like a mythical creature with a tail, vaguely resembling a human. Brownie Methodius is a fabulous old man. That's why when knitting, you need to take into account the features of the image. The body parts of these dolls are knitted according to different patterns.

To implement a creative idea and tie your favorite brownie from the cartoon, all materials should be prepared before work:

• yarn of the desired colors;
• a suitable hook;
• universal scissors;
• filler for toys;
• marking rings;
• tapestry needles for sewing.

Soft acrylic yarn is the best option for knitting dolls. If you knit a brownie Kuzya, you need to pick up flesh-colored yarn for the face, torso, arms and legs. For bast shoes, you need a little brown yarn. The color of the shirt is red. Red hair is best made from shaggy grass yarn. When choosing a hook, they are guided by the thickness of the yarn. On the packaging of yarn, manufacturers write the number of the hook that is used when knitting with this thread. For knitting toys, take a crochet hook that is smaller than the size recommended by the manufacturer. This increases the density of the product.

For stuffing a knitted toy, use synthetic winterizer, holofiber or synthetic winterizer... The knitted toy should be firm but soft. Experienced craftswomen advise using marking rings when knitting, which mark the end of the row.

The usual size of a toy is 25-30 cm. In order to have to sew together the details of the figure as little as possible, they knit parts that pass into each other. For beginners, you need a step-by-step description of the knitting pattern. As an example, we will give the process of creating a Kuzi brownie. Knitting starts at the bottom. First, bast shoes are knitted with brown yarn. To do this, cast on 6 air loops (c.p.) for the sole. We knit on both sides of the chain.

A master class for beginners will help you understand the knitting technique of a toy:

• 1 p. start from the 2nd loop from the hook: 5 tbsp. b / n., 4 st. b / n. in one loop, on the other side of the chain 4 tbsp. b / n., increase (the column is knitted into an already knitted loop), 15 loops are obtained;
• 2 r... we start with one increase (approx.), 4 tbsp. b / n., 4 arr., 4 st. b / n., 2 arr. = 22 loops;
• 3 r... 1 tbsp. b / n., arr., 5 st. b / n., arr., (st. b / n., arr.) * 3, 5 st. b / n., arr., st. b / n., approx. = 29 loops;
• 4p... 2 tbsp. b / n., arr., 6 st. b / n., arr., (2 st. b / n., arr.) * 3, 6 st. b / n., arr., 2 st. b / n., approx. = 36 p.;
• 5 r... increase evenly to get 43 loops;
• 6-8 rub... 43 p .;
• 9 p... begins to decrease the loops (ub.): 10 tbsp. b / n., ub., (st. b / n., ub.) * 6, 13 st. b / n. = 36 p.;
• 10 r... 3 tbsp. b / n., ub., (4 st. b / n., ub.) * 5, st. b / n .;
• 11 r... 9 tbsp. b / n., ub. * 5, 11 Art. b / n., = 25 p.;
• 12 r... 8 tbsp. b / n., ub. * 3.11 st. b / n. = 22 p.;
• 13-16 RUR... 22p .;
• 17 RUR... Art. b / n., ub., 15 st. b / n., ub., 15 st. b / n., ub., 2 st. b / n. = 20 p.

At the back, knit a ribbon made of air loops for the ropes of bast shoes, which they wrap around the legs. From 20 loops on top of the bast shoe, a leg is knitted with flesh-colored yarn. Attach the marker to the last stitch of the first row. Knit rows to desired leg length. In the first leg, fasten the thread and cut.

Tie the 2nd leg in the same way. At the end of the last row, tie 2 air loops (c.p.) and connect with the first leg. Continue knitting by joining the legs into one piece, including the transition loops. It turns out 48 p., Of which the body is knitted. Fill the parts with filler at the same time. Knit evenly, without adding or decreasing 35 rows. Fill the torso tightly and tighten.

The brownie's head is round. Knitting begins with a 6-loop AM ring. And then they adhere to the following sequence of steps:

• 2-3 r... increases are made through the column;
• 4 r... increments through 2 columns;
• 5 r... after 3;
• 6p... increments after 4;
• additions are made in this way up to 10 rows, 54 loops are obtained;
• 10-17 RUR... we knit 54 loops;
• 18 RUR... decreases begin every 7 tbsp. b / n. *6 times;
• 19 RUR... the decrease is done after 6 tbsp. b / n. *6 times;
• this is how reductions are made up to 25 rows - in each row, the amount of art is reduced by one. b / n., followed by a decrease;
• in the 24th row 12 columns remain;
• in the 25th row every second column is reduced, and there are 6 columns that need to be pulled together.

Do not forget to put filler into it as the head is rounded. The nose of the toy is knitted from 6 loops of the spacecraft. In the second row, increments are made through each column = 12 tbsp. b / n. In rows 3-4, 12 are knitted, and the nose is ready. Sew it to the toy's face. Ready-made eyes of the required size and color are embroidered or glued.Alternatively, crochet with black threads. Kuzi's head is crowned with hair made of Grass yarn. To do this, cut pieces of yarn of the required length. The crochet grabs the middle of the thread and pulls it through the loops of the head. Make a parting in the middle. Hands are knitted in the same way as legs, but without bast shoes. You can start by knitting your fingers. 4 fingers are knitted from the KA one by one, then they are connected, and the knitting goes into the hand. The fifth finger is sewn on separately.

Knit a red shirt for Kuzi. Sew the details, put on a shirt and girdle with a sash. Knitting of Buba and Methodius brownies differs in details. For Methodius, you need to make a beard from pieces of gray thread. Tie felt boots. The brownie Booba has a long tail and a shaggy body. White Grass yarn is ideal for this. Buba has two feathers on his head. You can make an antenna out of wire with two feathers.
