Scheme selection
There are a lot of patterns for knitting toys. During the search, I want to immediately take on a complex, beautiful toy with many details. The temptation is understandable, but try to overcome it. Start with a simpler product. You can start knitting complex items when you have mastered the basics of knitting, can knit tightly enough, and understand the tricks of decreasing and adding stitches. Try to start with small jobs. This way you won’t get bored with the activity and lose interest in it. Read the description. The complexity will be clear from the order of knitting and assembly. Here we will give the simplest diagrams on how to crochet a toy.
Selection of yarn and hook
For knitting toys, choose non-elastic yarn. Perfect option - plain or mercerized cotton. It has an affordable price and a wide variety of colors. You can choose another yarn. Just check that the thread does not stretch. The elastic thread will stretch in the product. The loops in the finished toy will stretch, resulting in unsightly holes.
Threads come in different thicknesses. Usually the label indicates how many meters of thread are in 50 or 100 grams of yarn. The longer the length, the thinner the thread. Toys knitted from thin thread, they turn out more elegant, but such knitting will take more time. It is also better not to use a thread that is too thick. Each loop will stand out sharply. To start, buy yarn with parameters 150 m/50 g.
For your first knitting lessons, it is better to take smooth threads. You can experiment with different textures later.
The hook must match the yarn. Usually the packaging contains information about what size knitting needles and hook it corresponds to. This hook will provide a medium density knit. Since the toy will need to be knitted very tightly, take a hook 1-2 sizes smaller than stated on the label. For example, for the thickness indicated above, use a hook from 1.5 to 2 mm.
Prepare the accessories
Prepare all kinds of eyes, ears, decorations, etc. in advance. Many of them are attached during mating. For example, safety eyes and a nose are inserted before filling the head with filler. Then you simply won’t be able to insert them well. And it’s better to string the bead eyes onto the working thread at the very beginning.
How to knit an amigurumi ring
The amigurumi ring is the beginning of every knitted toy. This is the name of the ancient Japanese art of making knitted toys. It is knitted instead of the traditional chain of air loops closed in a ring. The finished product is neater because it is pulled tight and there is no hole in the center of the toy.
Description of the ring:
Rules for knitting amigurumi toys
Knitting a smiley
The simplest crocheting amigurumi toy is a smiley face or bun. It has a minimum of details and can be knitted in a couple of hours.
It's easy to knit:
Knitting a kolobok smiley is based on a ball. It can be made larger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the number of rows with additions. For example, in the description above, you can continue adding: to every seventh VP, to every eighth VP, and so on. So the ball will have a large diameter.
Start knitting a ball:
In the future, when knitting toys, if a ball pattern is required, we will refer to this description.
New Year decoration
Christmas tree decorations can also be crocheted. If you decide to make balls, then use the description in the previous paragraph. Don't forget to attach hook or ribbon for hanging. Experiment with different colors. Crocheted balls can be either plain or with patterns. The simplest pattern is stripes. To do this, you need to periodically change the color of the thread. Pick up the desired shade with a crochet hook, and carefully pull the unused ones along the wrong side.
Knitted New Year's toys can be of other shapes. The easiest way is to knit two identical flat figures, sew them together, and fill the space between them with padding polyester. For example, Skates are easily and simply knitted according to this pattern:
Crocheted decorations will perfectly decorate your home and bring warmth and comfort.
Crochet teddy bear
Knitting a Teddy Bear is a little more difficult. But based on this scheme you can make almost any toy: bunny, tiger, even piglet. You just need to change the patterns of the ears and tail.
So, a knitted bear consists of:
- ears;
- heads;
- torso;
- front paws;
- hind legs.
Knit the bear's head according to the description of the ball:
- cast on six loops into the amigurumi ring;
- Knit two stitches into each loop;
- column, three times two columns in one loop, finish the row with single crochets.
Bear body:
Front foot:
Back foot:
Dial chain of five loops and tie her up three rows of single crochets to make an oval. The diagram is shown in the figure:
The result is the sole of the bear. It can be knitted in a different color, then the knitted animal will turn out to be shod.
Then knit as described:
Now collect all the details, embroider the mouth and nose. The crocheted bear is ready.
Crochet toys for beginners
It so happens that some cute traditional things from one country find their fans all over the world. Amigurumi is no exception. After all, the birthplace of amigurumi is Japan, but if you look on the Internet, it becomes clear that small cute toys have already taken over the whole world. Descriptions of amigurumi can be found in Russian, English, Spanish, German and other languages.
What is amigurumi?
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small cute toys. But recently, crocheted amigurumi have become most widespread. The size of amigurumi usually does not exceed 10 cm, although recently much larger specimens have appeared.
The Japanese love to give amigurumi eyes and a nose. A toy can be a prototype of some kind of animal - a bear cub, a bunny, or it can be an inanimate object - a cup, pan, cake, pastry, car, etc.
The revival of the art of amigurumi began in the 70s, when the concept of “kawaii” appeared in Japan - this is something pretty, arousing pity, charming, touching. The symbol of kawaii is the Hello Kitti doll, created by designer Yuko Shimizu. Kitty immediately fell in love with the Japanese, and then found fans all over the world.
How are amigurumi different from other toys?
- In terms of head size, amigurumi usually have a disproportionately large head. Regardless of whether it is an animal, a doll, or a fruit or vegetable, it may only have one head, but it is always cute and touching.
- Classic amigurumi are plain. The Japanese are famous lovers of minimalism, so their amigurumi are not multi-colored.
- The size of the toy is 8-10 cm, although there are exceptions both smaller and larger.
- Knitting technique. Amigurumi is crocheted with a smaller hook size than usual.
Knitting rules
If you plan to knit amigurumi patterns, then you will find them useful.
How to connect parts
If your amigurumi toy consists of several parts, then you should think about how to connect them. The easiest way is to simply sew the parts together with a needle. But, if you want the toy’s legs to be movable, then a hinged connection method will be useful to you. look on our website.
Crochet clothes for amigurumi
As we wrote above, classic amigurumi are knitted in one color or with a minimal set of colors. Clothes for such amigurumi toys, if necessary, are not removable. For example, if your Kitty’s dress should be green, then the body itself and part of the arm are knitted in green, and a flounce is tied at the bottom. It is impossible to take off such clothes and change the image of an amigurumi. People who are passionate about amigurumi knitting come up with different images for their charges and knit different clothes for dolls and animals. In this collection we did not present crochet patterns for amigurumi, but they are definitely in our digest.

Crocheting is one of the most popular and sought-after types of handcraft. Decorative napkins and openwork cardigans, small toys and huge tablecloths - for crochet masters there are no limits to making their fantasies come true. Learning simple techniques is not at all difficult. But achieving the filigree of large products requires time. So let's not just dream and start our first lesson in learning the crochet technique.
Beginners tend to save on materials and tools. But in this case it is not worth doing this. Old threads or a bad hook will not add skill and desire to continue learning.
How to choose a hook
Cheap plastic hooks are bad helpers. They're never smooth enough, and small nicks constantly pull the yarn. In addition, plastic is quite unreliable in operation and can simply break. The tip of the hook must be metal.
Pay attention to the details of the crochet hook:
The handle can be made of different materials - plastic or wood. But for training lessons it is better to take a hook with a monolithic handle. This way, as you study, you will be able to feel the correct tension of the thread and form identical loops.
Standard hooks have a length of 12-16 cm. For Tunisian knitting, longer hooks up to 40 cm in length are produced.
How to choose yarn
Yarn can be synthetic, cotton and wool. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the presence of lint. The smallest fibers will bother you, so wool is not suitable as a material for beginners. Fully synthetic threads can be very unpleasant to work with and on the fabric. But they are the brightest colored.
The yarn should be evenly colored and have the same thickness along its entire length. For hand knitting, you should not choose a tightly twisted thread - it gathers into loops and does not allow you to create uniform links when knitting.
Boucle threads with thickenings will not be suitable for sure, but melange yarn will reliably hide small flaws in the work.
When purchasing yarn, always read the ingredients on the label. Do not throw away the labels until the job is complete. You may simply not have enough threads, and it will be much easier to find the same ones with a label. In addition, on the label you can note information about the quality of the yarn, which will subsequently help you make the right choice.
How to get started
- Start training in a comfortable position: it is difficult to keep your elbows up all the time, so it is better to sit on a chair with armrests.
- Sit closer to the window - in daylight all patterns are visible much more clearly.
- On black or dark blue yarn, the loops are difficult to see. It is better to choose a light or bright thread.
- If you are right-handed, then hold the hook in your right hand and take the working thread in your left hand.
Crochet patterns for beginners with detailed explanations
Each element in the diagram has its own execution technique and its own designation. You can create simple things using simple elements. This way you will not only master the knitting technique, but also see the real result of your efforts.
Basics of crochet for beginners
The chain is the most important basic element in all knitting patterns. But it is not as simple as it seems. Uneven loops immediately catch the eye and spoil the impression of the work done. So advice for beginners in crochet: knit the braid until you see that it is the same along the entire length. And no matter how many meters of finished braid you get, practice, undo and practice again. What the chain knitting technique looks like and its designation in the diagrams can be seen in the photo.
For variety, you can master the double crochet chain. How to do this, look at the photo.
The chain is used as a basic element (like a set of loops in knitting) and for air connection of different elements of the product.
The column is another important element of technology, with which you can knit a fabric from a braid. Columns are used to form transitions between knitting parts, secure individual parts, and in some other cases.
A simple single crochet stitch is performed as shown in the diagram.
Double crochet is already a decorative element. There can be 1 or more yarn overs, and they are designated as follows. The number of serifs in the diagram indicates how many yarn overs need to be made on the column.
Slingshot - several double crochets, which are made from one loop. They will help you knit a round center or a beautiful petal for a flower.
Knitting can be done in the round, or can be done using a transition stitch. You can see in the photo how to correctly carry out the transition in order to get a perfectly smooth edge of the product.
Filet crochet for beginners
Filet knitting is a sequential alternation of chains and single crochet stitches. As a result of your work, you will get a grid with different types of cells, as shown in the diagram.
A simple pattern at first glance is the basis for crocheting clothing items and beautiful decorative elements. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the details are not crocheted, but embroidered with plain threads. See what basic elements can be made using the fillet knitting technique.
And here is an example of a finished product based on the same small fragments.
An interesting combination of colors and a detailed pattern will help you create a blanket using the patchwork technique, but based on knitted fragments.
Crochet flowers and petals for beginners (step by step with photos)
Flowers and floral designs are the first thing that all beginners probably master. Using simple products you can learn to knit and read -crochet patterns-.
Here are examples of the simplest colors with knitting patterns. But don't be discouraged that your efforts will only be spent on training. See what compositions can be made from the simplest elements.
You already know how to knit a simple circle based on stitches and a simple chain. Now you can move from flat diagrams to three-dimensional toys. Even if you don’t have small children, you can knit a small keychain for yourself and your loved ones.
Crochet is so practical that you can create even the smallest details.
For the parts of the body and legs you need to knit a kind of cylinder. The base is the same circle as in the middle of the flower. When the diameter of the base is sufficient, simply stop adding loops. Knit the walls of the cylinder with a simple stitch using the loop-in-loop method. To narrow or widen the loops, perform uniform addition and reduction of loops.
Not only voluminous toys can be knitted. There are several ways to decorate a children's room with beautiful panels with all children's favorite characters. Funny owls can be simple.
Having mastered crocheting toys, you can create many holiday characters for children and their friends.
Crochet was probably invented by lovers of openwork napkins. Our grandmothers had no other way to decorate their home and give it coziness than with the help of crocheted napkins. Openwork details require careful adherence to the pattern. Otherwise, you will end up with a convex hemisphere, pulled together at the edges, or a wavy edge.
Before you start knitting napkins, you can start with simple coasters for plates or glasses. Please note that the basic element according to a simple scheme can be used separately. Or you can put together a chic tablecloth from a sufficient number of fragments.
Napkins as a decorative element have already slightly lost their relevance. But lace weaving, with which you can decorate dinner napkins, tablecloths or even items of clothing, is valued today more than ever.
Check out some simple chain and column designs that will help you create not just utilitarian, but also fashionable design elements.
On the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, everyone is preoccupied with decorating their home. From the fragments you can create wonderful balls, as shown in the diagram. In order for the parts to keep the shape of a ball, you need to use a little trick: starch the finished fragments and dry them under a press.
How to Learn to Crochet Practical Things (Beginner's Guide)
For many modern needlewomen, the mention of decorative napkins does not arouse any enthusiasm. Art for art's sake is no longer so popular; many people prefer utilitarian products. And with the help of crochet you can make not only beautiful, but also useful things that will also serve a decorative function.
- To work, you will need a special type of yarn - ribbon yarn. The thread is very thick, 7-9 mm, holds its shape well in the product and allows you to quickly create the intended model. And ribbon yarn also has a lot of beautiful pastel shades, so fashionable in interior design today. It requires a special hook No. 12 or No. 15.
- For example, several multi-colored skeins of thick yarn and a hook will help you knit baskets that you can use as an organizer.
- A convenient shopping bag will help out. Who doesn't like visiting supermarkets with plastic bags.
- You can create several interior items - a rug, covers for stools and storage boxes with lids.
- In the diagram you can see a diagram for the base of a bag or box. The diagram can be adjusted according to the size of the product.
- The diagram shows a step-by-step knitting technique that can be used to knit a basket of any diameter.
It is impossible to crochet socks in the classical sense. The technique does not involve knitting elastic. But knitting high closed slippers with soft soles is quite possible. And you can start training on your toes for the little ones. With a minimum set of basic techniques and some imagination, you can knit cute slippers, sneakers or even boots for your baby based on one pattern.
- . Tie a chain of the required length - this will be the central part of the sole. Start knitting in the round according to the pattern, adding loops where necessary. As a result, you should get a sole that fits your baby's feet. You can just touch the leg to make sure everything is done correctly.
- For the edges, continue to knit according to the pattern or simply work stitches without adding stitches. The height should be sufficient so that the toe does not fit too tightly around the foot. After that, move on to designing the upper part of the sock.
- Or knit a high freebie in the form of a boot. But you need to provide the possibility of putting on a sock.
- Socks for adults are knitted using the same principle. They are not suitable for walking on the street, but they can easily replace homemade crocheted slippers or warm your feet in the cold season.
- Booties can be worn outdoors, but require a factory sole. Buy flip flops and take the straps out of them. You will need an awl to pierce the sole. Make punctures evenly along the entire perimeter of the sole, immediately pulling the thread through them. Next, knit the booties according to the chosen pattern.
- But the soles of flip-flops are very thin and quickly deform. Do you have old booties or espadrilles that have worn through your fingers? So what to do? Take the sole to a shoemaker and ask them to stitch it around the perimeter. Or make a blank from felt and sew it around the edge with thread. Now you have a blank with which you can start working.
- Look at several knitting patterns and finished results from the work of thrifty craftswomen.
The Tunisian knitting technique is a mix of crocheting and knitting. You will need a hook, but its length allows you to knit fabric with more than one working loop. Using Tunisian knitting, craftswomen create large fabrics that can be arranged and stitched to create different patterns.

- filler and weighting agents in the form of various balls or pebbles;
- various decorations and decorative elements;
- tinting products, mainly markers or cosmetics.
How to crochet a bear toy?
- We start weaving from the head. We put 2 loops on the hook and close them in a circle. Now we knit 6 six stitches from the middle of the circle, and in the next row we make 6 more additional stitches.
- Next, by adding and subtracting air loops, the desired shape and size of the head is achieved. Before the end of knitting, fill the head with filler and tighten the loops with thread.
- The body is knitted using the same system, only it should be thinner and smaller than the head. Fill and pull.
- We knit the legs in proportion to the body, lengthen them a little and fill them out.
- The muzzle, which is a round or elongated ball, is woven similarly. We design it and stuff it.
- Connect all the elements using fasteners or threads and don’t forget about the tail.

Now it is clear that the question of how to crochet a small toy has a very simple and understandable answer. It’s enough to take the time and look for information on how to crochet a soft toy.
Knitting is a multifaceted and almost omnipotent type of needlework. What skillful hands can’t create with just knitting needles and a ball of yarn! Knit a warm winter sweater, table decoration, holiday napkin or soft blanket. But today we will talk about not quite ordinary things. We will look at how knitted toys are made with knitting needles with descriptions and diagrams.
Knitted and crocheted soft toys: basic aspects and knitting options
The options and patterns for crocheting and knitting toys for beginners are so diverse that when you first get acquainted with them, many people’s eyes widen. For example, a mouse toy looks very original and unusual.
By the way, crocheting it is quite simple, especially if you strictly adhere to the following description.
With knitting needles you can make a wonderful bear, which will be completely indistinguishable from a teddy bear. To do this, you just need to master the “loop” seam and learn how to cross threads of several colors.
But in addition, in your work you will need to take into account a few simple rules:
- It is better to select a working tool for threads with a smaller diameter so that the product turns out to be very dense. Agree that white stuffing sticking out through the slots in the rows will spoil the appearance of the finished toy.
- For stuffing toys, it is best to use padding polyester, padding polyester or holofiber. But thread trimmings and especially fabric are not suitable for these purposes.
- The legs and arms of the toy can be filled with weights: beads, pebbles or sand. The same applies to the body. But the head must be soft, otherwise the toy will tilt down.
