A very fashionable and relevant activity ismaking souvenirs, gifts, handmade toys. Very nice looking textile and knitted things. For example, it's easy to understand how to tie a snowman with a crochet. The scheme of work does not require you a lot of work, effort and knowledge, and the result will definitely be pleased. Everyone will find an idea for themselves, corresponding to the experience and the amount of free time.
Product variants
The easiest way is for a flat snowman to crochet(a description of the work will be given below). Such a souvenir will consist of just the right number of circles of the appropriate diameter. Additional decor in the form of peepholes, spout-carrots, caps and scarves will create the image of the loveliest winter hero.
If you want to get a three-dimensional snowmancrochet (the master class from the sections below will teach this), you will have to master the technique of making balls from yarn. If you have very little time for making a gift, you can choose a variant of two balls created as a whole, but if you want it is easy to create a very realistic character from three parts, located from the largest to the smaller. Any three-dimensional version is well complemented with knitted handles, a hat, a scarf, and also details of the face.
What to Prepare Before You Begin
Before learning how a snowman crochets(the master class presented below will tell you about this), it is worth buying everything necessary to carry out the product so that you can immediately execute your prototype. So, you will need:
- White yarn to perform the trunk.
- Threads of other shades for the mittens, hats, scarf, nose and other facial features, if they are also knitted.
- Hook of the corresponding yarn size (number).
- Synthepon, holofayber or any other filler to create a three-dimensional character.
- Needle with a large eye, if you connect separately connected parts.
- Plastic face elements (optional).
As you can see, nothing special is needed. If you do needlework, perhaps all of the above is already in your possession. Put everything in front of you and start work safely.
Crochet snowman for beginners
As mentioned above, the easiest way to do thisa product of two or three identical or different flat circles. So, it's easy to make a pendant, a Christmas tree toy, a magnet, a key chain. To do the work, use the diagram with the following illustration.
The product is spirally executed.In this case, you can tie both posts without a crochet, and with one or two capes. When moving to the next row, three air loops (marked with rings) and a connecting loop (point) are performed in this sample. The work can begin with both a chain of air loops, and with tying columns into the first loop of the product.
It is also easy to connect the cap on the principle of a circle, only the increments should be performed less often, so that a flat circle is pulled together into a three-dimensional part.
How to tie a snowman with a crochet: the scheme of a three-dimensional product of two balls
Here you have two options:
- Make individual elements and connect them with a needle and thread.
- Bind as one whole, without closing the bottom ball, and right after packing, turning again to the performance of the increments.
In any of the ways, the scheme shown in the following illustration can be taken as a basis.
The production of a three-dimensional part begins withsame as a flat circle - with a set of chains of air loops and tying the first row of columns. The difference in principle of work lies in the scheme of adding and decreasing loops.
The volume of your ball will be visible when you already knit several rows, which do not need a pair of columns that come from the same loop of the previous row.
This will be the middle part of the ball. After these series, begin to carry out the deductions, tying two bars with one vertex.
When you only have a small opening at the top, fill the product with prepared material (sintepon, holofayber or others). Finish the ball according to the scheme.
By analogy, perform a second ball of the same diameter or smaller. Sew the parts together.
Work scheme for a product of three parts
A crocheted snowman can consist ofmore balls (usually three). To do this, it is enough to use the scheme from the previous section and make the necessary number of elements of the same or different size on it, and then connect them with a needle and thread into one piece. The second option (when the product is knit right away as a single unit) is also possible. To do this, instead of decreasing on the second ball, you need to make an increase again and knit like a new ball.
How to make a decor
Any snowman crocheted will not beLook like an animated character if you do not have facial expressions and decorating elements. About how the scarf is performed, it was said in the section with the plan of a flat snowman. As for the cap, pens and a carrot-spout, they can easily be connected according to the volumetric ball scheme only with the number of loops corresponding to the size of the part. If in the scheme for a large ball work begins with the creation of a chain of six air loops, for a small decor, you can limit to four or simply take a thin yarn and a hook of a suitable size.
So, you learned how to tie a snowman crochet.The circuit of execution and flat circles and balls of any size is simple enough. Having mastered the principle of getting the right shape, you can easily create cute winter characters of any complexity.
