Legs, body and head:
We start knitting from the feet.
We knit with black yarn.
1) 2 VP, in the 2nd p from the hook 6 sb = 6 p
2) (1sbn, pr) x 3 times = 9sbn
3) 9 sbn
4) 2 kill, 5 sbn = 7p
5-6) 7 sc (2 rows of 7 sc)
Change the color to olive.
7-10) 7 sc (4 rows)
Cut the thread. Fill the leg.
Also tie the second leg. Do not cut the thread! Knit 2 VP
11) We connect the legs: we knit 7 sc on the 1st leg, 2 sc on the vp, 7 sc on the 2nd
leg, 2 sbn on VP = 18 p
12-13) 18 sbn (2 rows)
14) Make 2 kill: on the sides 1sbn = 16 p
15) Make 2 kill: on the sides 1sbn = 14 p
Gradually, while knitting, we stuff the toy.
16-17) 14 sc (2 rows)
18) Make 2 pr: on the sides 1 sbn = 16 p
19) 16 PRS
20) (2 sbn, ub) x 4 times = 12 p
21) 6ub = 6 p
22) 6 sc
Change the color to almond (head)
23) 6pr = 12 p
24) (1sbn, pr) x 6 times = 18p
25) (2 sbn, pr) x 6 times = 24p
26) (3 sbn, pr) x 6 times = 30 p
27) (4 sbn, pr) x 6 times = 36 p
28-29) 36 sbn (2 rows)
30) (4 sbn, ub) x 6 times = 30 p
31-32) 30sc (2 rows)
33) (3 sbn, ub) x 6 times = 24 p
We stuff our head.
34) (2 sbn, ub) x 6 times = 18 p
35) (1sbn, ub) x 6 times = 12p
36) 6ub = 6 p Pull off the hole.
Arms:
