Which yarn to choose

All dogs created using different numbers of knitting needles differ not only in shape, color and size, much depends on the yarn chosen for knitting; the most popular materials are the following:

• half-wool, acrylic - these threads are easy to knit, the dogs come out smooth, with a classic look;
• bouclé - the special processing of this yarn will allow you to create cute curly puppies;
• grass - dogs made from such thread turn out cute and shaggy;
• mohair - suitable for making soft and fluffy dogs.

In general, you can choose any yarn you like, the main thing is that the thread is of high quality, does not fade or split. It is imperative to select knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread, or even a little thicker, then the fabric will be dense enough so as not to deform and not let the filler pass through. Synthetic materials such as holofiber and padding polyester are best suited for filling the toy. When creating a product, in addition to the number of knitting needles indicated in the diagram, you will definitely need a needle for stitching the parts. To decorate the dog, you can use scraps of different fabrics, such as felt or leather, various buttons and decorative eyes.

Knitted dog “Buffy”

A hand-knitted Buffy will be a great gift for a child for any occasion. And if the house loves to knit toys, then this animal will ideally fit into an already connected family.

There is one interesting legend that tells how Buffy dogs first appeared. Once upon a time, in the old days, one grandmother knitted a beautiful wool sweater for grandfather. Grandfather treasured the gift very much and carried it carefully every day.

However, all things are not eternal, time passed, and the sweater was safely put away in a chest that stood in the attic of the house. Over the years, the sweater has been eaten by moths in some places, the previously bright colors have faded, and the buttons have fallen off. Of all the buttons, only one remained. And so the nanny came into the attic to tidy up and remove the dust that had accumulated over time.

She looked into the chest and, of course, found her grandfather's old sweater lying in it. The fur has become slightly matted over the years and has become thin. However, the nanny remained confident that this thing could still be reborn.

The nanny went downstairs with the sweater and laid it out near the fireplace. From the heat of the fire, the wool threads fluffed up, and the sweater itself took on a puffier appearance. This made the nanny feel like he looked like a small gray dog.

Then the handicraft nanny decided to unravel the sweater. When she did this, a lot of wool appeared, from which the nanny wound balls. Then she started knitting. So, first a kind face with erect ears and a cute brown nose appeared. Then a body, legs and tail appeared. The nanny sewed the only surviving button onto her stomach.

Similar toys are still sold in stores today. However, making Buffy with your own hands will be much more interesting. Even a beginner can knit a dog using this master class.

What you will need to make Buffy the dog:

To make a dog, you can take wool of any composition, for example, with the addition of acrylic. You can also choose any colors of wool, the main thing is that they match each other and are suitable for knitting a dog. It is also necessary that one color be lighter than the other. It would be optimal to use gray and beige colors for knitting.

Also, before making a toy, you need to stock up on the filler that will be inside it. For small-sized toys, you can use beads.

One of the simplest filling options is also padding polyester, which is sold in almost any sewing store.

If the knitted toy is not supposed to be washed, then an unusual option can be used as a filler - lentils. You need to choose one type of filler.

Lentils are small, flat seeds of the legume family. It is sold in grocery stores. If it was decided to fill the knitted toy with lentils, then you need to make bags from any lining fabric. You need to sew lentils into the bags, and then fill them with the finished toy. This will allow the filler inside to settle more evenly.

All of the following pieces will be made from a darker colored thread.

Knitting starts from the back, in garter stitch. It is necessary to make 2 such parts:

Master class Dachshund rainbow amigurumi crochet

Before you start working directly, prepare everything you need:

• yarn of the desired colors (as a rule, you will need several);
• hook relative to the thickness of the yarn;
• filler (you can use cotton wool or padding polyester);
• scissors, glue;
• a special needle for sewing soft toys or a needle with a large eye;
• blanks for the nose and eye (these can be beads), other decorations, if you like.

Decide on the expected appearance of your future toy. An amigurumi puppy can be any breed: dachshund, bulldog, poodle, dalmatian, papillon, shiba, shiba inu or any other. Depending on what you choose, you will need to select the colors of the yarn.

And here are some examples for inspiration. Let's start with the dachshund.

1. The dachshund amigurumi will look very beautiful if you use threads of bright rainbow colors to create it. You will also need a thin hook (No. 1.5).
2. First make the body of the dachshund. You need to start and end with one color (let it be brown), and in the middle place stripes of all the colors of the rainbow. Having tied the body, fill it with filler.
3. Then grab your head. You need to start knitting it from the spout, that is, with black yarn. Then also stuff and tie.
4. Now it’s the turn of the neck and ears. And after that - the tail and paws.
5. When everything is ready, sew all the parts together, glue on the eyes (or sew on beads). You can also make a small beautiful collar for your dachshund. To do this, you need to knit twenty chain stitches, connect them into a ring and knit twenty single crochets. Then cut the thread, choose some other color and use a thread of this color in the first row of the chain that you already have, knit another twenty sc on the reverse side. To finish the collar, take a bead, thread it through the thread and secure.
6. Your rainbow and cheerful dachshund is ready!

Using the same principle, you can knit any other dog. If you are not too confident in your abilities, you can use diagrams that clearly show the order of work.

A gift with meaning!

Those who follow the astrological calendar know that the coming year is the year of the yellow earthen dog, so knitting just such a toy is the most relevant topic. You can knit it as described above, just use yarn in golden yellow shades. And here is another option for knitting a dog with knitting needles (a pattern is not required for it, since it is knitted without a pattern).

Necessary materials:

• yellow yarn - 50 g;
• filler:
• knitting needles;
• darning needle;
• some black knitting threads.

Step-by-step description of the process:

1. Knit from the body (cast on 11 stitches).
2. The first row and all odd rows are purled (without adding loops).
3. In the second, knit like this: edge, knit 1, extended from the bottom row, knit 1. ordinary. Repeat this pattern until the end of the row (so you will add 9 stitches in the first yard and there will be 20).
4. Next, in even numbers, add 1 knit each. before the additional one. In the 4th row - 29 stitches, in the 6th - 38 stitches.
5. Having brought the number of loops to 68, start decreasing them in exactly the same way (knitting 2 together where you added).
6. Bring the number of loops to 11 and cast them off.

7. For the paw, cast on 7 stitches. Knit them in a similar way (purl rows - purl rows), knit rows - with additions.
8. In the second row there will be 12 stitches, in 4 - 17, in 6 - 22, in 8 - 27.
9. Knit the tenth row like this: after the edge knit 5, 3 stitches. 2, 3 persons. together, 3 by 2 together, 5 persons, chrome. (19 pet.).
10. Knit 2 cm high.
11. To make an extension, add 1 stitch at a time, knit 2 cm and add another 2 cm along the loop (from the sides of the part), and finish knitting.

12. Knit 4 paws.
13. Knit the muzzle in the same way as the paw.
14. Increase the stitches until there are 47 of them. Then start narrowing the piece: edge, knit 5, knit 3. together, persons Repeat this pattern 10 times, knit 1 triple, knit 5. and chrome.
15. After knitting 2 cm up, make decreases (as for the body).
16. For the ears, knit trapezoidal details, casting on 11 stitches. and adding 4 stitches. in every 3rd row (from the “face” of the part). Fold them in half and sew them together.

17. For the ponytail, knit a tube from the cast-on 7 stitches, which you decrease after 4 rows of 1 stitch.

18. Sew all the parts.

Clothes without seams

Clothes with a hood

Knitted by adding and decreasing stitches in the right places.

We measure neck circumference Chest circumference Waist circumference Leg circumference Distance from the “collar” to the dog’s paws

Naturally, each dog has its own size.

We calculate the loops. The yarn is different. We cast on loops on knitting needles equal to the circumference of the neck.

We knit a collar.

After the collar, we divide the knitting into three parts. It depends where the fastener will be. If it is on the belly, then there are approximately 15 loops on the sides and the rest is on the back.

The number of loops depends on the density of the yarn (threads). In every 2nd row, add one loop to the center of the sides.

So we knit up to the paws. Before the start of the hole for the paws.

These three pieces are then joined and knitted together. Approximately 3 cm. Then we begin to decrease the loops in the middle from the hole for the paws. Approximately two loops in every 4th row. And so on until the end of knitting. I get 35-36 cm from the neck to the tail, including the elastic band.

Well, the design is as your imagination dictates! It is tied with an elastic band on the armholes and straps using stocking needles. You can make holes for tassels after knitting the collar and stretch the cord with tassels, etc.

For girls, I knit the belly to the end of the fabric; for boys, it’s better to 8 cm from the armholes and close the loops. Continue the required distance only for the central part - the back. Everything is individual and needs to be measured. To sit beautifully!
