TAIL
Cut 6 beige threads 20 cm long and thread
through 2 loops on the back, on the pope, we withdraw and divide into three
parts, weave a pigtail, leave a small tip, as on
photo, fix, tighten the thread. Decorate the tail below
bow, thereby fixing the tail, so that in
further did not creep.
DECORATION OF THE TOY
• Tie the torso line
We return to the 46th row, take the thread that was left during knitting and
we knit behind the front walls 63 sc in a circle around the body.
• We decorate the shoes with bows. We sew in the center, between 4 and 5 near the sole, on the shoe itself
• We return to the hands, to the 15th row and tie 21 sc in a circle around the hands of dark pink
thread for the front walls of the loops, the same thread that was left during knitting
• We return to the shoes, to the 6th row and tie the crayfish in steps with a dark pink thread of 38 loops – this is our sole. Then we return to the 14th row and we knit a light pink thread 25 sc
• We form a navel
See for yourself where you would like it
to form. We do the double-threading, twice.
Insert the needle behind the tail in the hole between
loops, do not insert only into the loop itself! Leave
small end of the thread. First we draw a needle with a thread
on the left floor of the circle under the loops themselves (output in
the center where the navel will be, grab from above 2
loops horizontally, insert the needle back and along
we also do the right semicircle (the needle should
be long, or have to output periods
needle outward between the loops, but not in the loops! Because
so you don’t draw it around the circle, we display the thread in
also a hole where
and introduced, and make a strong tightening, carefully
so that the thread does not break. We knit on three
nodule, cut off, hide the strings. Second
we do the weighting in the same way as the first one. Only
enter just above the first draw
center, in the same place as the first thread, but we do
capture of 2 loops is now vertical, so that
was a kind of “cross”, also strong, but
gently pull, fasten and hide the thread.
The navel is formed, gently squeeze it on
sides and also around the hips, if desired
the navel can be tinted.
• We make a face
Sew the nose to the head, immediately after the row with the eyes, in the center. When sewing
do not pull heavily, stuff your nose. Sew nostrils at the level of 9 rows from the middle, on
7 stitches (7 stitches that should be visible after sewing).
Make a whipping where the eyes with beige yarn knitted by a hippopotamus (next to the
make stitches with the eye). We introduce the needle from the left side, in the cheek (we do the tightening in
one thread and enter only in free places, and not in the loops themselves, because, once
the thread cannot be hidden in the loop). Conclusion, from the outside of the left eye
in the middle, vertically capturing 1 loop, then output from the side from the outside
side of the right eye, also vertically capturing the loop, then bring the needle with
the inside of the left eye, and further from the inside of the right eye,
we bring the needle to the same place where the tail is (on the left side of the cheek). Pulling the threads
slega, cut and hide. Glue cilia, make beige stitches
on top of the cilia in 2 strands (it will be the eyelids), after drying the eyelashes. Then
white stitches on the sides of the eyes in 1 thread. Embroider eyebrows with a dark brown thread, in 2
threads, at a distance of 4 loops from each other. Sew the mouth, attaching to the bottom
nose so that it was close to the head, sew the back, grabbing 2
stitch on the sides.
• Make a ponytail on the head
I do 4-5 rows in a circle. Cut a beige thread 12 cm high. Threaded in
every loop. Fold the thread in half, insert it into the hole between the loops,
we embrace the loop of the head itself and bring the tips into a closed loop of the
thread, tighten. After we put the gum on the tail, and you can cut your
tail to the desired length.
• Sew on ears
Sew at a distance of 1 cm from the tail of the head so that they are symmetrical. I AM
first I pin them with pins.
• Sew a button on the side of the body for beauty
Our Hippo Betty is ready!
