Description of work stages
We form the scallop like this
- The beard is knitted twice. We create a chain of 7 air and 1 lifting loops. We make 5 rows with a single crochet. In the 2nd row we add a loop on one side, in the 4th row we decrease it.
- For the tail we make a chain of 34 air loops and 1 riser, we knit 5 rows of sc. We do this procedure twice with yarn of different colors. Then we place the initial row behind the last one and connect it.
- Cockerel feet
- For the eyes, we create a chain of 6 chain stitches + 1 lifting loop and tie 6 sc, turn the work over and make 7 sc.
- The final stage is assembling the parts: the middle front is sewn to the sides, the back seam is made, the torso and head are stuffed. The head is sewn along the edge of the neck opening. The plumage of the head and neck is stretched, the first is sewn along the upper edges, the second - under the plumage of the head. Using black thread, we embroider two stitches on the top of the beak using a “loop” stitch for the nostrils. We put the upper part of the beak on the lower one, sew it on the sides, and attach the beak to the head. We attach (sew on) the eyes, sew on the comb.
We stuff and sew on the paws and tail feathers.
A handcrafted rooster toy will be the center of attention at New Year's holiday and it will become bright decoration Houses. Get inspired and create!
The beginning of a new year always marks the beginning of a new life, bright, rich and fruitful. According to the Chinese horoscope, the symbol of 2017 is the Rooster. The harmonious combination of colors in his appearance symbolizes a surge of energy, vitality, and beauty. The main color of the coming year is red, which has always been personified with passion, wealth, victory and love.
In order to bring all these positive aspects into the coming new year, you need to decorate your home with the symbol of 2017. Needlewomen have a great opportunity to create a cute souvenir with their own hands by knitting a cockerel using knitting needles. In addition, a knitted symbol of the year is a good idea for a gift to family and friends. This article will tell you how to link New Year's Rooster on knitting needles.
The finished model will look like this:
Even novice needlewomen can knit such an unusual souvenir, since making the toy does not take much time and is quite simple. So, we will need:
- Yarn in red, white and orange;
- Knitting needles in sizes 3.25 mm and 2.5 mm;
- Filler (sintepon, holofiber);
- Black beads for eyes (or black yarn);
- Hook;
- Sewing needle.
Cockerel height = 11 cm.
It is worth noting that the fashion for cute knitted items, albeit created using a crochet hook, came from Japan. In the land of the rising sun this art was called amigurumi. Size related toys traditionally ranges from 5 to 10 cm. In Russia, such needlework not only took root, but also began to develop; knitting needles began to be widely used to create toys.
Let's start knitting the rooster's body
Cast on 7 loops for the base.
We knit the 1st row and all odd rows up to and including the 9th row purlwise;
2 rows: k1, ^1 loop added from the broach, knit 1, then repeat from ^ to the end of the row. There are 13 loops on the knitting needles;
4 rows: repeat the 2nd row, on the knitting needles - 25 loops;
6 r.: 1 knit, ^1 loop added from the broach, 2 knit, then repeat from ^ 4 times, 2 knit, repeat from ^ 2 more times, 1 knit, then repeat again from ^ 4 times. There are already 35 loops in total;
9 r.: purl;
Rows 10-23: stockinette stitch;
24 r.: 1 knit, then a complex (2 knits together, 2 knits), this complex needs to be knitted 4 times, then 2 knits, 2 times a complex, 2 knits, knit a complex 4 more times. In total there are again 35 loops on the knitting needles;
Rows 25 and 27: purl loops;
26 r.: knit 1, then decrease (knit 2 together, knit 1), decrease 4 times, then knit 2, decrease 2 more times, knit 2, decrease 4 more times. There are a total of 25 loops on the knitting needles;
We knit rows 29-41 with stitch stitch (odd 29th too);
Row 42: K1, dec 2 stitches together until the end of the row. There are 9 loops left on the knitting needles.
We pull the thread through these 9 loops, for convenience you can use a hook, pull the loops tightly together, and fasten. We match the seams, but sew together about 2/3 of the toy; the remaining hole will be needed for stuffing the rooster’s body. After the contours of the toy are formed, it is necessary to sew up the seam well.
We knit the wings of a cockerel
First wing: cast on 11 stitches.
In the first row of them we close off 6 loops, knit 4 stitches;
2 rows: purl 5 stitches, then knit 5 stitches on the knitting needles, turn the product over;
3 r.: close 5 loops, then knit 4 knits;
4 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knitting needles, turn the wing over;
5 p.: close 4 more loops, then knit 4 knits;
6 p.: the same as the 4th;
Then loosely close the loops.
Second wing: cast on 9 stitches.
1st row: close 4 loops, knit 4 stitches;
2 rows: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knits again, turn the product over;
3 rubles: the same as the 1st;
4 rows: purl 5 stitches, cast on 5 knitting needles, unfold the wing again;
5 p.: close 5 loops, knit 4 more knits;
6 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 6 knit stitches, then turn the wing over;
Close the loops loosely.
After this, we attach the wings to the body of the rooster.
Scallop: we put 7 loops on the knitting needles with red yarn, knit 1 row. In the next row you need to cast on 2 loops and cast off 4, after which we slip 1 loop onto the left needle from the right one. Repeat until all loops are completely closed, starting with a set of 2 loops.
Sew the comb to the cockerel.
For the beak, you will need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn, and purl the 1st row.
Row 2: k2, decrease k2 together, k2 again;
Row 3: Dec 2 stitches together, purl 1. knit, then decrease 2 loops again;
4 r.: 3 loops together purl. Now you need to sew the edges of the beak, but do not stuff it, but sew it in this form to the head of the toy.
Let's start knitting the beard (we will knit 2 parts). Cast on 5 loops with red yarn. In the first row, knit 3 loops and unfold the product. In the second row, purl 3 loops and unfold the product. Close off the stitches with knit stitches. Sew both parts of the beard under the rooster's beak.
In order to knit a leg (you will need to make 2 pieces), you need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn on the knitting needles. Knit the first row and everything up to the 11th row.
Row 11: continue the knit row, at the end we cast on 4 more stitches, unfold the product;
12 r.: close off 5 loops, knit 3 stitches with them, again put 4 loops on the knitting needle, turn the product over;
13 r.: close 6 stitches with knit stitches, slip 1 loop from right to left, then cast on 4 loops. We close the loops.
The rooster's leg must be sewn down to the paw, the threads must be secured well and hidden. Then sew the finished parts to the body of the cockerel. If there is a wire, you can add to the product, then the legs of the toy will bend.
It remains to knit the last detail - the feathers. They are knitted from white yarn. We cast on 15 loops. Then comes the motif - we close 12 loops, knit 2 knit stitches (3 loops remain on the knitting needle), in the second row we knit these loops purl and turn the product over, in the 3rd row we again cast on 12 loops, turn the product. We knit this motif until we get a large number of feathers (6-7). Then we close all the loops, bend the resulting part and sew it to the rooster.
We decorate the toy’s head with eyes: sew on beads or make 2 longitudinal stitches with black thread.
To knit a rooster you will need:
- Yarn (purple, scarlet, yellow, turquoise, green, dark yellow) - 50 g of each shade; some black yarn and white- to decorate the eyes;
- Knitting needles (6 pcs., number 3);
- Hook (number 3);
- Filler (at your discretion: holofiber or padding polyester);
- Needle for stitching.
