How to crochet an angel using the amigurumi technique?

Knitting makes a person concentrate and concentrate. Bioenergy argues that this work allows you to create a talisman that will affect fate. The material for work and the thing that a person knits are important.

Creating an angel, needlewomen fill life with light and good. Small figures connected by the style of amigurumi will serve as a talisman for beloved people and will allow you to admire the beauty and purity of an angel, to be able to touch its protective wing. The process of creating a figure is quite painstaking and requires perseverance. Crocheting requires peace of mind and a good mood. Items created in the style of amigurumi have their own characteristics.

• Hook. The main tool, which should be one size smaller than the thickness of the thread. Hooks are made of various materials. Depending on the desire, you can purchase a plastic, aluminum or metal copy. For convenience, metal hooks have a small flattened part for the thumb. The loops connected by steel tools glide well and do not cling. The choice of hook is very important for the knitting process. It is difficult to choose the right and comfortable, but this will provide ease in the process of knitting. So that the hand does not get tired, it is better to work with an ergonomic hook. The handle of this tool is curved and holds well with a brush.

• Yarn. Any color can be used, but the traditional angel is white, so we will do just that. Material is much more important than color. It is better to choose cotton with acrylic rather than wool (it gets dirty and quickly loses shape) or plush yarn (it will be more difficult for beginners to knit loops).The wings will need to be circled, to make it better with gold lurex (a metal additive connected to a thread). For hair, light brown cashmere is most often used, but you can choose any yarn.

• Filler. The choice is also quite large and complex. You can take wool, but it is an allergen, so synthetic filler is advised. It includes artificial fluff, which is sold in the form of spirals and balls, holofiber and synthetic winterizer. The latter is used by needlewomen most often.

• Beads for eyes and decorating clothes.

• Scissors and needle with a big ear.

• Transparent glue.

The master class on the implementation of the angel, which is presented below, will be clear not only to professional needlewomen, but also to polishers. Angels are knitted mainly with crochets, and the parts are connected with half-columns. The outfit is performed in an openwork style. Wings are knitted with the addition of fluffy yarn. The first part of the product will be the head. Like all dolls, she is tied in a spiral, starting with the amigurumi ring. It is done in the following way.

1. Starts with 2 turns of thread around the index finger.
2. Then, hook inside the revolutions to pull out the working thread.
3. After the loop is knitted, the working thread is again pulled out.
4. Knits crochet. In total, the amigurumi ring should have 6 columns.
5. Tighten the ring and begin to knit the head.

Next, you need to make one connecting loop and one air loop (to raise the height). The beginning of knitting is marked with a contrasting thread or a marker is attached so as not to get confused. With each row, the marker is carried higher. If you gain 6 loops, then each subsequent row add 6 loops.

1. There should be 6 stitches in the front row.
2. In each loop, you need to make an increase, that is, knit 2 columns in one loop (12 in total) \
3. The increase through the loop (the result is 18 single crochet).
4. We make an increase every 2 loops (24 columns).
5. The increase should be every 3 loops (30).
6. and 7 rows without increments (a total of 60 knit needles must be knit)
7. Next, we begin to decrease the number of columns in the reverse order. That is, first of the 30 columns we make 24, then 18, 12 and 6.

When 6 loops remain, you can begin to fill the head with filler and decorate it. A yellow or light brown thread is taken on the hair. Cut hair strands and fold them in half. The hook is inserted into the crown, they grab the thread and lead inside the head. Another thread is introduced into the next loop, also brought out and knit two loops together. Thus, repeat to the back of the head. After that you need to take glue and coat part of the head, glue and dry your hair. Stuffing your head is not very tight. Next, black beads or buttons for the eyes are sewn, eyebrows, nose and mouth are embroidered.

A drape lies on the shoulders of an angel. Linking it is easy.

Legend:

• VP - air loop;
• RLS - SC;
• SS - connecting loop;
• PS - a half-column.

After filling the head, 2 rows of 6 loops are knitted (this will be the neck). 3 row - begin to increase, knitting 2 columns from each loop. 4 row - without adding, they knit on the front wall of the loop. 5 row - the addition is due to the air loops. First 4 VP and 1 PRS, 2 VP and 1 PRS. So we knit to the end of the row, which ends with a connecting loop. 6th row — 6 VP and 1SBN, 4 VP, 1 SBN and SS. This is a simple openwork drawing. You can tie the pelerine more authentically by increasing the number of air loops.

The bodice of the dress begins to be knitted after 4 rows of drape, for the lower loops inside the angel. 5 rows in a circle RLS. Then they knit a skirt - 10 rows according to the pattern of a drape. Another openwork skirt pattern can be connected using the schemes from books on knitting. With any knitting pattern, you can experiment and make your own ideas.

Openwork wings look light and airy. To connect them, you need to dial a chain of 8 air loops, and then follow the diagram, which is located below.

• 1 row - 6 SN (double crochet), 2 BSN, 1 VP for lifting.
• 2 row - 2 BSN, 5 CH, 2 VP for lifting.
• 3 row - 5 CH, 2 BSN, 1 VP for lifting.
• 4th row - 2 RLS, 4 CH, 2 VP for lifting.
• 5 row - 4 CH, 2 SBN, 1 VP for lifting.
• 6 row - 2 RLS, 3 CH, 2 VP for lifting.
• 7 row - 3 CH, 2 sc.

Get a trapezoidal wing with a wavy edge. The second part is also knitted and stitched together with a small fold in the middle. The edges of the wing are tied with lurex half-columns.

In order to make a mini-figure hands, knit 10 sc. After stitching the edge and stuffing the hand with a padding polyester. All the details are ready, now you need to starch the Christmas angel. Preparation of the solution looks like this: 2 tbsp. tablespoons of starch are poured into a glass of cold water, stirred until dissolved. The solution is gradually poured into a container with boiling water, and after the resulting liquid is allowed to cool to 70 degrees.

Choose a shallow container, into which the figure is lowered to the neck. Leave for 15 minutes. Squeeze out excess starch and put on the prepared bottle. Straighten the bottom of the dress and the cape. After the wings are lowered into the solution, squeezed and gently spread on a horizontal surface. After drying, the wings are sewn or glued. If there is no starch, the product is soaked in a strong sugar solution. The angel figurine is ready. Products are different. It depends on the size and quality of the yarn. Angels are often knitted from natural threads (cotton, linen). The number of patterns for knitting a lot. They are distinguished by design, complexity, size. Angels are knitted voluminous or flat to decorate towels, tablecloths.

There is another option for making an angel using the amigurumi technique. With it, you can connect a small figure of an angel from a thick iris.

1. Knitting begins with an amigurumi ring from 7 sc.
2. The next step is an increase of 7 RLS (the result should be 14 columns).
3. The increase in the next row takes place through a loop (it turns out 21 single crochet).
4. Increase in 2 loops (28).
5. Increase through 3 loops (35).

From the 5th to the 10th row, we knit without changes in the RLS, and from the 11th row, each circle is reduced by 7 columns. The head is filled with holofiber or sintepon. 16 row - 7 loops are knitted without changes. 17 row - there is an increase on the sides according to the following scheme - 2 sc, increase, 2 sc, increase, 1 sc. 18 row - 2 RLS, increase, increase, 2 RLS, increase, increase, 1 RLS. 19 row - increase through the loop. 20 row - increase by 13 loops.

Without changes, they knit the body to the required size. After reduce 8 loops in a row. As soon as 15 loops remain, you can fill the body with a synthetic winterizer and add sand or grains there, so that the figure is more stable. Tie a circle to the middle of the body and begin to knit one leg of 7 loops in a circle. The second leg begins with a decrease in one loop and down in a circle. To legs were the same length, it is necessary to count the rows.

Angels are always among people - both on holidays and on weekdays. Associated with the soul, the angel will keep the warmth of the hands of the craftswoman.

It is known that there are biologically active points on the fingers. Knitting, acting on them, triggers positive physiological processes.
