One and the same image can be represented as a toy, rug, pot holder, slippers, pillows, cradle pendant, key chain or magnet. These "transformations" are possible with any animal, in our case it will be a lamb (crochet). The scheme and description of products are selected for beginner craftswomen, offered in sequence from simple to complex.

Sheep potholders

Lamb-shaped potholders are knitted very quickly. To do this, close the chain, knit in a circle with single crochets or half-columns. This will be the body of the sheep. Determine the diameter of the circle by your hand, so that it is convenient to take hot lids, pans.

Having reached the penultimate row, from the inside of the knitted circle, sew the fabric lining of the same size. This will allow the tack to last longer. Take up the lamb crochet again. Work 2 rows with single crochet and 3 chain arches.

Then move on to knitting the head. Create, like booties, from a chain of loops, tie it around the oval. As soon as the width of the head suits you, "expand" the muzzle, turningwork on the face, then on the wrong side. Embroider eyes, nose, mouth. Tie up your ears separately. Now attach your head to your body. Locate the legs, tie them with black yarn. To prevent the paws from hanging shapelessly, make them short. You can hang the lamb from the arched loop or sew on a special loop.

Rug, pillow, panel in the form of a lamb

Threads determine the type of product, but the image remains one (meaning crochet lamb). The scheme and description for creating a rug, pillows, panels are almost the same.

• Knit the body in the form of a circle with uneven shapes. To do this, make a template on paper, work on it. You need to knit with elongated loops, as a washcloth is knitted. It turns out the body with wool.
• Next, knit an oval head, stuff with padding polyester. Sew eyes, nose, ears. Attach your head to your body. Next, sew on the legs.

This is the basis of knitting, which will be the same for any type of product. Now let's pay attention to the nuances. For a carpet, the lamb is ground from the inside with a dense fabric, but it is better to stick it on the material from which bathroom rugs are made.

For a pillow, the lamb is crocheted in a mirror image, that is, the body will consist of two parts, stuffed with filler. And the panel is made from any thread, the lamb is glued onto cardboard of the same shape, hung by a loop.

Footprints

The principle of creating booties in the form of a lamb can be any, the main thing is to use two types of yarn for muzzles and curls(special wool with lumps, bumps, curls is sold). You start work, like booties, with a long chain (its length should be one third less than the foot).

Tie it in a circle with single crochets or half-columns. Try on the foot. Knit another row for lifting, switch to special wool in lumps. You make two rows, and then go to the toe, where you knit the “muzzle” with wool. Then return to knitting the sides and heels with special yarn.

To get a reliable crochet lamb, sew on the ears, embroider, eyes, nose with a mouth. Also create a second footprint. Please note that the muzzle can be made round or elongated. If you don't want to stain the soles, then sew on a leather lining to fit your foot. Or you can make a pattern and knit slippers with a muzzle of a lamb.

Crochet: amigurumi lamb

Small amigurumi can be used as toys, souvenirs and even as a cradle pendant. We knit as follows.

• Dial on the ring, knit 6 single crochets.
• Next, increase the rows by knitting 12, 18, 24 columns.
• Knit the next two rows unchanged from twenty-four stitches.
• Next, the addition goes again in the rows, knitting 30, 36, 42 columns.
• Then comes a row without increments (this is necessary in order for the crochet lamb to turn out with a narrow shaped muzzle).
• Again, two rows increase, it turns out 48 and 54 columns.
• Five rows go without increase.
• The next rows decrease, knit with another yarn, getting 48, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12 and 6 stitches.

It's a head. Sew eyes with eyelids. Eyelid knit from the chain with a crescent. Ears knit in the form of a leaflet:

• Knit 6 stitches in the ring.
• Next, rows are knitted with and without an increase (12 columns, 18th, 24th).
• Now decrease rows by the same amount until 12 stitches remain.

Pull the ears together, sew to the head, embroider a nose with a mouth in the form of a "slingshot".

Continuation of amigurumi

We continue to consider how to crochet a lamb.

• Knit the body like a head with additions (six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, thirty, thirty-six, forty-two, forty-eight and fifty-four columns), four rows without changes, then alternate decreases with rows without increases. Decrease until there are eighteen stitches left.
• Knit paws from a ring of three columns. Then increase them to twelve and knit a row without increments. Subsequent additions with 16, 24, 32, 40 columns alternate with rows without changes. Then reduce the row to 32 columns. Tie the “hooves” with threads, forming a bend. It turns out almost a real crochet lamb.

The scheme of the limbs is described, now sew the paws and head to the body. The tail is knitted with the usual “ball”, sewn on the back of the back. Please note that the details are narrowing and expanding, so stuff themat the same time, distributing the synthetic winterizer with a pencil. By linking several amigurumi, you can hang them over the bed with various clouds, suns, stars, planets.

Big crochet lamb: diagram and description

According to the above pattern, you can tie a large lamb. In fact, you do not need to use clear instructions, look at the sizes and shapes of the parts. The head and body are knitted in the same style, only the sizes differ.

Start knitting from the narrow part. Cast on a chain, knit single crochets in a circle. Having connected the circle, according to the size of the crown, stop making increases. Get the shape of a cup. Knit a couple more rows to sew on the ears, then add loops evenly. To get an original crochet lamb, change the color (white for the body, ears and crown, and beige for the muzzle and paws).

Change the thread, knit a muzzle with increments. It should be in the shape of a pear. Stuff with padding polyester, close the loops. Knit ears, fold, sew to the head. Embroider eyes, nose and mouth in the form of a "slingshot", eyebrows, draw cheeks with acrylic paints. You can sew ears and tail from white plush, it will also look unusual.

Knit a toy

We continue to consider how to crochet a lamb for a game. Knit the body with white threads - just like the head. The body should be a third larger in both length and width. In this case, it is better to start with a wide part, then gradually narrow it.

Stuff in paralleltorso with synthetic winterizer, continuing knitting in a circle. Sew the body to the head. Now knit paws, tail with beige threads. Also fill them with filler, close the loops. On the legs, make constrictions with threads to highlight the fingers. You sew all the details.

Such a crocheted lamb may well become a souvenir for any holiday. Add a red cap - and it will be a New Year's "Santa", hang a heart around your neck - give it for Valentine's Day, sew a flower to your paws - and it will become a gift for the eighth of March, glue a lamb to a backpack - and there will be an unusual birthday accessory. Or you can tie a whole family of rams and use them as educational toys to develop mathematical abilities.

How else can you tie a lamb?

Lamb, crocheted from a special yarn, does not require a clear shape of the body, as lumps, bumps create the image of curls. This yarn is soft to the touch, so it will go for toys, pillows. To this end, the sheep is knitted in one piece.

Start with the muzzle, knitting it in a circle with regular wool. Then go to a special yarn, knit the top of the head and torso. Stuff with padding polyester, close the loops. Sew on paws, horns (just a knitted strip folded in a spiral into a circle) and a tail. Embroider eyes (an arc with eyelashes). The result was a sleeping lamb.

You can also knit the body in the form of an oval or a circle with elongated loops of ordinary wool, then the “curls” will create the necessary image. To get a "shop" crochet lamb (the diagram and description are given above),buy eyes and a nose, make constrictions with monofilament, and use high-quality yarn. For babies, you can use multi-colored yarn. Sheep can be dressed up in dresses and pants, hats, then the image will be brighter.

Summary of results

Use hypoallergenic yarn if you knit pillows, slippers, toys for children. If a crochet lamb is knitted for a rug or panel (the scheme is described at the beginning of the article), then you can take cheap threads that are sold on the market. The image can be anything, so you can create an author's sketch.
