DIY hedgehogs
Knitting or crocheting such mittens is not so difficult, for this you need the simplest knitting skills. Usually, such mittens are perceived as an exclusively children's accessory, so we will tell you how to knit children's mittens.
You will need:
- 100 grams of yarn, it is better if it contains wool. It is she who will warm you on frosty walks. Choose a yarn that is resistant to multiple washes and battery drying. This choice is due to the fact that the product does not lose its original appearance too quickly.
- 50 grams of grass yarn for knitting needles. It can be matched to the main tone or be contrasting in color.
- Circular knitting needles.
- Hook.
- Darning needle.
- Beads to make nome and eyes.
We start to knit. With the main thread, you need to dial the required number of loops, depending on the girth of the arm. We will have about 30-32 of them, then it is necessary to knit 20 rows. Start row 22 with the right side. So 16 more rows.
From the 17th row, begin to knit the place where the thumb will be in the future. Knit 6 stitches with a contrasting thread, then knit on the left needle and knit with the main thread.
Then knit 25 rows with the front satin stitch, periodically trying on the product to the child's hand, until you knit it to a level above the little finger. From this point on, start decreasing the loops. Crochet the top of the mittens.
Then knit your thumb and thorns. They can be knitted in any convenient way and sewn to the main product on both sides.
When finished, tie and sew on the ears, as well as the nose and eyes.
