knitted poodle

toy height about 12 cm

You will need:

white propylene threads;

black “Iris” threads;

hook No. 2.5;

a piece of pink satin ribbon;

foam rubber

This toy consists of a main part, 2 front paws, a muzzle, 2 ears and a tail.

* The main part of the poodle is knitted starting from the crown of the head (Fig. 27.1). Knit a chain of 4 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in a circle with long loops for 5-6 rows, gradually increasing the number of loops to 27 (for example, in the 1st row of knitting there are 8 stitches, in the 2nd - 14, in the 3rd - 19, in the 4th - 23, in 5th - 27 columns). Continue knitting in single crochet stitches, without making any increments, to a height of 3-4 cm - this is the poodle neck.

* To move to the breast, knit 2 rows with single crochets, increasing the number of stitches to 32 and start knitting the breast with long loops. Knit it not in a circle, but in shortened rows in the forward and reverse directions: knit with long loops from point A to point A1, then turn the knitting over with the back side facing you and knit the next row in the same way, lengthening it by 1 loop (that is, attach 1 loop last row of breast). Continue knitting, extending each row by 1 loop until the loops come together, i.e. you get a circular row, and knit 2 more rows in a circle with long loops. The breast is ready.

* For the poodle body, knit 7 rows in the round using single crochets, without changing the number of stitches. Stuff the connected part of the main part with foam rubber, as it will be difficult to do this later.

* Knit the back part of the body in short rows according to the description of the breast, only not with long loops, but with single crochets: knit from point B to B1 and 4 more rows, taking 1 more loop in each row. Then knit a row from point B to B1 and knit in rows in the forward and reverse directions, grabbing 1 loop in each row until the loops come together, i.e. you get a circular row.

* In the middle of the back part, mark point G, count an equal number of loops on both sides of it (in our case, 16 loops are obtained), the counting results should converge at point G1 (Fig. 27.2). Connect points G and G1 with 9 air loops. The resulting holes are the basis for knitting the dog's hind legs.

* Hind leg: knit 6 rows in the round, gradually reducing the number of stitches to 13, then another 6 rows straight. After this, in the front part of the paw, knit half a row and finally 1 circular row. Fill the back of the torso and leg with pieces of foam rubber, then close the remaining hole by knitting 2 rows with a decrease in the number of loops. Knit the second leg in the same way, using 16 loops + 9 loops from the 1st leg as a basis, stuff it with foam rubber and close it.

* Front paw (Fig. 27.3): knit a chain of 16 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with single crochets 4 cm, then 2 rows with long loops and another 4-5 rows with single crochets. After this, in the front part of the paw, knit half a row and, finally, 1 circular row. Close the remaining hole by knitting 2 rows with a decrease in the number of loops, and stuff with foam rubber. Tie the other paw in the same way. Sew the paws to the front of the body.

* Muzzle (Fig. 27.4): knit a chain of 19 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with single crochets for 7 rows, gradually reducing the number of stitches until they disappear. Stuff the muzzle with foam rubber and sew it to the main part of the body.

* Tail (Fig. 27.5): knit a chain of 10 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with 3cm single crochets, then 1.5cm long stitches, gradually reducing the number of stitches. Sew the tail to the back of the body.

* Ears (2 parts, Fig. 27.6): knit a chain of 6 chain stitches and make 2 rows of long loops. Sew the ears to the head at the base of the “cap” using long loops.

* The eyes and nose of the poodle are embroidered with black thread. Tie a ribbon around your neck in the form of a bow. Trim the tops of the long loops and fluff them out.

For the finished poodle you will need 7 balls and one tube: head, muzzle, cap, lower body, upper body, paws and ears. For a poodle you will need a No. 3 hook and thread (you can use whatever you like).

Seven balls of different sizes, crocheted and stuffed with padding polyester - these are the poodle's head, muzzle, lower body and paws. The muzzle is the smallest ball, but the head is the largest. The lower part of the body is a medium ball and four legs. Thus, you will need five medium-sized balls.

Knitting begins with the largest ball size. The remaining balls are knitted similarly. The nose and tongue are made of fabric. You can take thin felt.

The nose is done like this. A small circle is cut out of black fabric and, using a thread and a needle, it is gathered along the edge onto a thread and tightened - you get a pimply. If the pampon is small, then you can put a small piece of cotton wool inside so that the pampon straightens out and becomes more voluminous. The nose is ready.

Red soft felt is suitable for making a tongue. You need to cut a semicircle with a diameter of 1 cm.

Knitting a poodle head

Subsequent knitting begins with these four loops.

1st row – 8 st.b/n. A ring of 4 loops is tied with 8 single stitches, the hook is placed in the center of the ring. This is done like this: knit 1 ch. for lifting and then 7 columns b/n. The hook and loop from the last stitch is passed through the chain loop at the beginning of the row. This makes 2 loops. Which are knitted with a half-column b/n - the thread is intercepted and pulled through 3 loops on the hook. The result is the first closed row of a circle of 8 st.b/n.

2nd row - 16 tbsp. b/n. In the first row, 2 tbsp are knitted on each loop. First, one air loop is knitted for lifting and then 15 st.b./n. The row ends with a semi-column b/n.

3rd row - 24 tbsp. b/n. starts with one air loop for lifting. Then on the 2nd loop of the previous row 2 stitches are knitted, on the third – one, on the fourth – two, etc. Thus, the columns alternate and 24 loops are knitted. Ends with a semi-column b/n.

4-7 rows - 24 tbsp. b/n. The row begins with an air loop for lifting and then on each loop of the previous row, 1 st.b./n. Close as in the previous ones.

8 row - 16 st.b./n. Decrease loops. It starts with an air loop. After this, the first loop of the previous row is skipped. On the next two loops it is knitted along the double stitch, then the loop is skipped again and again at 2 according to the double stitch. etc. it turns out 16 st.b/n.

9 row - 8 st.b./n. One loop for lifting, then skipped, then dc, then skipped and dc. etc. until the end. It turns out 8 st.b./n. closed with a semi-column b./n.

The result is a knitted pouch. Which needs to be filled with padding polyester and closed 10 next to it.

Row 10 - 4 tbsp. b./n. One air loop for lifting, 1 loop is skipped, st.b/n. etc. until the end. Ends with a semi-column b./n. The remaining loops (4 of them) are tightened with thread and secured. The head is ready.

Knitting poodle legs and body

You need to knit 6 medium-sized balls - 4 for the legs and 1 for the body.

Knitting begins with 4 air. loops that close into a ring. Next it is knitted in the same way as the head.

1 row - 8 tbsp. b./n.;
2nd row - 16 tbsp. b./n.;
3-6 rows - 16 st.b./n.;
7 row - 8 tbsp. b./n.

At the end, the balls are stuffed with filler and tightened.

Knitting a poodle face

Start as usual. Then:
1 row - 8 tbsp. b/n.;
Rows 2-5 - 8 tbsp. b./n.;
Row 6 - 4 tbsp. b./n.

Knitting the upper body

The beginning is similar to the previous ones.

1st row - 8 st.b/n.
2nd row - 16 st.b/n.
3-12 rows - 16 tbsp.
Row 13 - long loops.
Row 14 - 16 st.b/n.
Row 15 - long loops.
16 row - 16 st.b/n.
Row 17 - long loops.
18 row - 16 st.b/n.
Row 19 - long loops.
20 row - 16 st.b/n.
21 row - long loops.
22 row - 16 st.b/n.

After 22 rows the bag is stuffed. For stability, a wire frame is inserted.

23 row - 8 st.b/n.
24 row - 4 tbsp.

Gather the 4 resulting loops onto a thread, pull them together and secure. The upper body is ready.

Poodle hat

A chain of 4 chain stitches is knitted and connected into a ring.

1st row - 8 st.b/n.
Rows 2-5 - 8 tbsp. st.b/n in each row.

knitted poodle

toy height about 12 cm

You will need:

white propylene threads;

black “Iris” threads;

hook No. 2.5;

a piece of pink satin ribbon;

foam rubber

This toy consists of a main part, 2 front paws, a muzzle, 2 ears and a tail.

* The main part of the poodle is knitted starting from the crown of the head (Fig. 27.1). Knit a chain of 4 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in a circle with long loops for 5-6 rows, gradually increasing the number of loops to 27 (for example, in the 1st row of knitting there are 8 stitches, in the 2nd - 14, in the 3rd - 19, in the 4th - 23, in 5th - 27 columns). Continue knitting in single crochet stitches, without making any increments, to a height of 3-4 cm - this is the poodle neck.

* To move to the breast, knit 2 rows with single crochets, increasing the number of stitches to 32 and start knitting the breast with long loops. Knit it not in a circle, but in shortened rows in the forward and reverse directions: knit with long loops from point A to point A1, then turn the knitting over with the back side facing you and knit the next row in the same way, lengthening it by 1 loop (that is, attach 1 loop last row of breast). Continue knitting, extending each row by 1 loop until the loops come together, i.e. you get a circular row, and knit 2 more rows in a circle with long loops. The breast is ready.

* For the poodle body, knit 7 rows in the round using single crochets, without changing the number of stitches. Stuff the connected part of the main part with foam rubber, as it will be difficult to do this later.

* Knit the back part of the body in short rows according to the description of the breast, only not with long loops, but with single crochets: knit from point B to B1 and 4 more rows, taking 1 more loop in each row. Then knit a row from point B to B1 and knit in rows in the forward and reverse directions, grabbing 1 loop in each row until the loops come together, i.e. you get a circular row.

* In the middle of the back part, mark point G, count an equal number of loops on both sides of it (in our case, 16 loops are obtained), the counting results should converge at point G1 (Fig. 27.2). Connect points G and G1 with 9 air loops. The resulting holes are the basis for knitting the dog's hind legs.

* Hind leg: knit 6 rows in the round, gradually reducing the number of stitches to 13, then another 6 rows straight. After this, in the front part of the paw, knit half a row and finally 1 circular row. Fill the back of the torso and leg with pieces of foam rubber, then close the remaining hole by knitting 2 rows with a decrease in the number of loops. Knit the second leg in the same way, using 16 loops + 9 loops from the 1st leg as a basis, stuff it with foam rubber and close it.

* Front paw (Fig. 27.3): knit a chain of 16 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with single crochets 4 cm, then 2 rows with long loops and another 4-5 rows with single crochets. After this, in the front part of the paw, knit half a row and, finally, 1 circular row. Close the remaining hole by knitting 2 rows with a decrease in the number of loops, and stuff with foam rubber. Tie the other paw in the same way. Sew the paws to the front of the body.

* Muzzle (Fig. 27.4): knit a chain of 19 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with single crochets for 7 rows, gradually reducing the number of stitches until they disappear. Stuff the muzzle with foam rubber and sew it to the main part of the body.

* Tail (Fig. 27.5): knit a chain of 10 chain stitches and close it into a ring using a connecting post. Knit in the round with 3cm single crochets, then 1.5cm long stitches, gradually reducing the number of stitches. Sew the tail to the back of the body.

* Ears (2 parts, Fig. 27.6): knit a chain of 6 chain stitches and make 2 rows of long loops. Sew the ears to the head at the base of the “cap” using long loops.

* The eyes and nose of the poodle are embroidered with black thread. Tie a ribbon around your neck in the form of a bow. Trim the tops of the long loops and fluff them out.
