Amigurumi plush knitted ladybugs look very cute. One wants to hug them, and from one glance at the toy, a smile immediately appears on the face. And the best are small bright cows. Using a variety of colors adds charm to any burenka. In order to independently link the dairy beauty, you need to choose the master class you like, as well as prepare the necessary tools.
What is required?
The first thing to start with is choosing a ladybug you like. It is important that there is a detailed diagram for it. It is precisely following it that you can create your favorite toy.
Next, you should pick up yarn. Suitable from pure cotton, and from cotton and polyacrylic. As for colors, here everything rests solely on the imagination of the master. It is desirable that there are at least three colors. The thickness of the threads is also worth choosing based on your own preferences.
Most often, knitted cows are small in size, so it is better to choose hooks No. 2, 3 or 4. In this case, the selected yarn should be considered.
To make the toy voluminous, you should use the filler. You can fill a cow with padding polyester, cotton wool, silicone fluff, comfort, shreds or wool. Any of these options will be pleasant to the touch and will be able to keep in shape.
Toy black eyes can be chosen at your discretion. And equally both small options with a diameter of 5-6 millimeters, and very large ones look good.
Work description
A crochet cow is knitted in parts, and then they are joined by sewing or knitting. For each element of the toy, there is an exact scheme according to which it is absolutely easy to knit an amigurumi cow on your own.
Usually, knitting begins with the head. To do this, six loops are dialed into the amigurumi ring.Next, an increase is made in each loop, one at a time, and as a result, they should be 12.
On the 4th row, one loop is knitted, and then an increase is made. On the 5th, it is added in a loop after two knitted, on the 6th - after three knitted. Thus, the number of loops at the end of the sixth row should be 36 pieces. From the 7th to the 11th rows, you just need to knit with crochets.
In the 12th row, after five knitted loops, it is necessary to increase, so that in the end it turns out 42 loops. The thirteenth and fourteenth rows simply fit, without any replenishment. From the 15th to the 19th rows, it is necessary to reduce the loops of 6 pieces each. This is done respectively after the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st loops. It should be noted that the cow’s head can be knitted in one or two or three colors, depending on one’s own preferences.
Now you can start making faces. To do this, dial 7 air loops. In the 2nd loop, you need to knit 2 single crochet (sb), the next 4 loops to knit sbn, to the next loop 3 crochets, then knit 4 loops again. To complete a row, you need to sbn into the loop with which the row was started. The result is a total of 14 loops.
The next (3rd) row is knitted as follows: increase, increase, 4 single crochet, increase, increase, increase, 4 sb, increase. The result is 20 loops, which are sewn on the 4th row.
Ears fit very simply and can be of different colors. First, 6 sbn are typed into the amigurumi ring. On the second row, one loop is added to each loop to get 12. In the 3rd row, after each single crochet, an increase is made. As a result, the number of loops reaches 18.
For horns, which are also paired parts, 6 sbn are dialed into the amigurumi ring. The second row - one loop is simply knitted, and the next increase is made. From the 3rd to the 9th row all 9 loops just fit sbn. The upper hooves, which should be two, fit like horns. Only the color of the yarn is taken different.
You need to start knitting legs with a set of 6 sb in the magic ring (amigurumi). From the 2nd row, one loop is knitted, and then an increase in one loop is made. In the 3rd and 4th, an increase is also made, but after two and three knitted loops, respectively. According to the results of the 4th row should be 15 loops.
Next, the legs smoothly pass into the body. This is done by knitting loops on two legs and joining them in a single row (1st row of the trunk). The next row you just need to knit with crochets (2nd row). On the third row, after every fourth loop, an increase is made. From the 8th to the 13th, all 36 points should be knit.
On the 14th row, you need to reduce the loop after every fourth knit. The 15th is simply knit with crochets. On the 16th, a decrease is again made, but now after every third loop. Then the resulting row is simply knit sbn. In the last row, there is also a decrease in the loops after two knitted, in the end it turns out 18 p.
It is best to fill the legs and torso with a padding gradually as you knit. It will be easier this way, and the filler can be distributed evenly. When the body is ready, you can cut the thread.
Now you can begin to manufacture one of the most important parts of the cow - the udder. For him, you need to knit 6 sbn into a ring, and on the 2nd row in each add one loop. On the 3rd row, after each knitted loop, we make an increase. As for the 4th row, we simply knit all 18 p. Sbn. Nipples on the udder should be marked with cross-stitch.
If you want the cow to be more fun, you can also make it a spot. The simplest option is to connect 6 sbn into an amigurumi ring. On the 2nd row, an increase is made in each loop. In the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th rows, one loop is added after 1 sbn, 2 sbn, 3 sbn and 4 sbn, respectively. In the sixth row, the number of loops should reach 36.
Another optional, but very funny element is the tail. The first row of parts is made with 15 air loops.On the 2nd, starting from the second loop, the connecting posts are knitted to the very end. For the brush, you can use pieces of yarn with a length of 4 cm. They must be threaded at the end of the tail, and then fastened around the base.
Before assembly, all necessary parts are filled with filler. In this case, it is desirable to fill the hands only half. Before you fill your head, you should fix your eyes on it. This is done between the 11th and 12th or 8th and 9th rows. Between the eyes should leave a distance of 5-6 p.
If there are spots, then they are sewn onto the head and body. For horns, a place is placed in the center of the head. They are located at a distance of 6 rows from each other. Through a series of ears are attached. The muzzle is filled with stuffing material before sewing.
Next, all parts of the cow are assembled into a single unit. The udder should also be made voluminous before sewing. The result is a fun amigurumi ladybug that is liked by both adults and children.
Beautiful examples
There are a lot of options for funny, cute and cute cows. Of these, everyone can choose their favorite burenka. Additionally, you can decorate the cow with a funny blouse or skirt. Moreover, the latter can be knitted or made of shiny translucent material.
Very interesting are the cows, which are decorated with wreaths of flowers. And you can choose very bright and voluminous options with flowers and leaves. With such decorations, the animal will look even more impressive.
Cows with big hooves and an udder are funny. You should experiment with the color scheme.
It is not necessary to choose traditional black, white and brown colors, because the cows will look very nice in shades of pink, blue or yellow.
Additional accessories can help make cows more beautiful and cute. For example, a vase of flowers, a basket, a bright butterfly on the tail, a thick bang between the horns and any other little things. There are not many cute cows, so you can knit whole herds of funny cows.
