In the master class presented below, we will talk about how to crochet a dog. Schemes and a description of the necessary actions will also be offered, so that even beginner needlewomen will not have problems. So, we invite interested readers to read the detailed and step-by-step instructions.

If you want to do well, do it yourself

Most of us are used to giving children soft toys for various holidays. However, many modern specimens placed on store shelves are very expensive, and look somewhat strange, and sometimes even scary. Therefore, many creative people are thinking about how to make a funny, sweet and kind character on their own. The charming dog shown in the main photo will definitely please the child. Perhaps he will even become the most beloved and dear friend. Largely because a soft toy dog was tied by a close person - mother, grandmother, aunt, sister.

Preparatory stage

Before you start knittingcute dog, stuffing material should be prepared. Experts believe that it is better not to use ordinary cotton wool. After all, such a product will turn out to be too heavy, if necessary, it will be quite difficult to wash and dry it. Therefore, it is wiser to take a synthetic winterizer or holofiber. For example, you can gut an unnecessary pillow and fill your product with its contents.

It is also worth noting that the toy shown in the photo has circles on its paws - applications. The dog is crocheted according to the technology that we will study later, and the patches are cut out of felt. However, this condition is optional, if you want, the needlewoman can also knit these details.

You still need to prepare a sewing needle, thread of suitable colors and scissors. It is wiser to select a hook during or after buying yarn. After all, the tool must be equal to the thickness of the thread.

Yarn selection

Needlewomen who are professionally engaged in knitted toys note that special children's yarn is best suited for such products. It is very soft and does not cause allergies. In addition, it is absolutely safe for babies who are used to chewing everything that comes their way.

To knit the dog shown in the photo, knitting threads of four colors are required: the main one - beige and three additional ones - white, black and blue. And it is better to use yarn of the same company, but in different shades. Then the finished product will be the same density.

It is impossible not to note another important nuance, which is studied in the main phototoy - a soft dog, made in beige and blue colors. But if you wish, you can use your own combination or what the child likes.

Knitting features

For people who are familiar with the amigurumi technique, the implementation of the studied product will not cause difficulties. However, it is important for beginners to clarify several important nuances that determine the quality and beauty of crafts. To begin with, any toys are knitted in a spiral with single crochets. Moreover, a new loop must be knitted in such a way as to grab both threads of the previous row. The technology can be studied in the following picture. The image on the left illustrates wrong actions, on the right - correct ones.

Another important feature of knitting toys "Soft dog" is the initial stage. Having formed an amigurumi ring, the next 2-3 rows must be knitted, moving counterclockwise. That is, just like any other thing. Then the circle must be turned inside out. As a result, the initial tail will be inside the craft. Next, you should knit in the opposite direction - respectively, clockwise.

How to knit an amigurumi ring

In the previous paragraph, a term that was incomprehensible to many beginner needlewomen was mentioned. Therefore, now we need to explain it, because otherwise the study of the scheme and description of the dog with a crochet will be meaningless. The product will still turn out not very neat.

So, what does the amigurumi ring mean? In fact, this is a special way to start knitting any toy. Technology is prettysimple:

1. Wrap the thread twice around the index finger of the left hand.
2. Carefully remove the loop.
3. And crochet, making six single crochets.
4. Connect the last loop of the row with the first one.
5. After that, gently pull the initial tip so that the center of the circle closes tightly.

If the necessary actions were not explained very clearly, you can consider a graphical instruction.

Knit head

Having de alt with the preparatory stage, terms and features of the technology, we proceed to bring the idea to life. To do this, you need to carefully study the MK "Crochet Dog" presented below. We start by making the head of a soft toy:

1. Take the main yarn.
2. Form an amigurumi ring.
3. In the 2nd row we knit two from the loops of the previous row - we make an increase. Thus adding 6 new loops.
4. In the 3rd we make an increase through one single crochet. Also add 6 loops.
5. Turn the circle over and knit in the opposite direction.
6. From the 4th to the 11th row, we also add loops. But with each row we increase the interval between increases - the number of single crochets. In the fourth row there should be 2 of them, in the eleventh - 9.
7. You should have 66 stitches in total.
8. The next part of the MK "Crochet Dog for Beginners" involves knitting 4 rows in a spiral.
9. Next, we begin to decrease the loops. From the 16th to the 24th row in even rows of 2 through - 31, 30, 29, 28, 27 single crochets. We just knit the odd ones.
10. In the 25th row, the interval is 12 columns, in 26 - 11, in 27 - 6, in 28 - 5.
11. Leave 36 stitches and knit 7 rows in a spiral.
12. Stuff the head and knit 7 more rows.
13. Increase 6 stitches in 5 rows.
14. Don't forget to add filler.

Knit the little body

You don't need a diagram to carry out the next step of the instruction. Description "Dog crochet" will explain the necessary actions much better:

1. Take beige yarn and form an amigurumi ring.
2. From the first to the 14th row we knit according to the technology described in the previous paragraph.
3. In the 15th row we decrease the loops with an interval of 31 columns.
4. All even numbers from the 16th to the 38th are simply knitted.
5. In the 17th interval is 14 bars, in the 19th - 13, in the 21st - 12, in the 23rd - 11, in the 25th - 10, in the 27th - 9, in 29th - 18, in 31st - 17, in 33rd - 16, in 35th - 15, in 37th - 14, in 39th - 13, in 40th - 12, in 41 -m - 11.
6. In the 42nd row, you need to reduce half the loops, we make 12 decreases.
7. Also in the 43rd already 6 decreases.
8. After that we fill the body with filler.

Knit paws

MK on amigurumi toys rarely consist of step-by-step diagrams. The Crochet Dog description also includes graphic illustrations of only the basic steps - knitting loops and forming an amigurumi ring. And all because in this technology, strict adherence to increases and decreases is much more important, otherwise the product is knitted rather boringly. No complex patternsmoving in a spiral. Therefore, a text instruction for execution is also proposed below:

1. First work with two front paws.
2. We knit an amigurumi ring, 6 loops were added in the second row.
3. From the 3rd to the 6th we add one new loop, gradually increasing the interval of 1 column to 4.
4. In the 7th row, the interval is 17 columns, in the 8th - 18, in the 9th - 19, in the 10th - 13, in the 11th - 14.
5. 3 next rows knit in a circle.
6. From the 15th to the 19th we decrease at regular intervals (10, 9, 8 single crochets).
7. In the 16th, 18th, 20th and from the 22nd to the 41st - we knit the existing number of loops.
8. From the 42nd we make reductions. In this row, after 7 columns, in the 43rd - after 2, in the 44th - after 1.
9. Then we move on to the hind legs.
10. From the 1st to the 10th row we knit, based on the pattern for the head.
11. 11th row knit, applying only one loop of the bottom row.
12. 3 next knit as usual.
13. In the 15th we alternate: 18 sc, decrease, 20 sc, decrease, 18 sc.
14. From the 16th to the 19th, decrease the intervals marked with an asterisk by 1 bar.
15. In the 20th we alternate: 13 sbn, decrease, 8 sbn, 2 decreases, 8 sbn, decrease, 13 sbn, at 21 - 12 sbn.
16. In the next five rows we decrease after 6 columns.

Product assembly

Having prepared the main details of a large crocheted dog, we finish the additional ones - eyes, nose, ears, tail and collar. They are described below.

Then we sew all the parts together, add feltapplications, embroider fingers, make out a nose and a smile.

Simple crochet dog

If the presented master class is still difficult for a novice master, you should practice with simpler toys.

Thus, crocheting a large or small dog is not difficult at all. You just need to prepare the necessary materials and tools, and then understand the instructions.
