Of course, as a needle bed, you can use any pillow, foam pad or something else, but let's look at it from the other side - why do not we make the needle bed as an element of the decor? A small cartoon character Hedgehog in a fog, on which it is impossible to look without a smile, will revive and decorate your corner for needlework.
Needle-hedgehog crochet
Needles, we make a rather large size, its height is 20 cm, the diameter of the body is 7 cm with straight needles and 8.5 centimeters with loose. But, of course, you can make a hedgehog and smaller or larger sizes.
So, for knitting the hedgehog needlework hook we needed the following materials:
- yarn-herb melange black-white-gray colors, it is better to buy one skein, but it can be enough for a few hedgehogs;
- yarn thin wool of two colors - dark gray and light gray;
- filler sintepon, it will need one incomplete sachet;
- one hank of black thread-a mule;
- a piece of cotton cloth on a knot;
- three hooks of different sizes - 2.5 mm, 1.8 mm and 0.95 mm.
Needlework hedgehog: master class
Having prepared all the materials, we can start working:
1. Begin to knit thread-weed. We dial 4 air loops, close in a circle.
2. Now we fasten the middle of the circle with a crochet without a crochet, we make 8 loops.
3. We knit the third row in this way: we sew each first loop with a column without a crochet, every second we knit twice, thus making one with two, and also a column without a crochet.
4. The fourth row is done according to the pattern: one loop is sewn twice, then three loops are made with the usual column without the crochet. So we knit in a circle to the end of the row.
5. We knit the fifth row in much the same way as the previous one-we knit one loop twice, then five loops with a column without a crochet. Features of knitting with grass: much more "grass" on the wrong side. Therefore, the front side is more logical to do as a result of the wrong side. On the photo: the front, which will be purl.
6. Then we knit the eight rows with the usual column without the crochet, forming the body of the hedgehog, the number of loops does not change.
7. Now we start to reduce the number of loops. We knit the series as follows: three columns without a crochet, then we sew two loops together, so we knit to the end of the row.
8. We continue to subtract the loops - we knit a row with a pattern of 2 stitches without a crochet, then two loops together.
9. The next two rows are knitted without changes in a column without a crochet.
10. Now we have reached the muzzle of the hedgehog, again we begin to increase the loops - the first loop is tied twice, then the two loops with a column without a crochet.
11. Now we make a place for the muzzle of the hedgehog - we knit 2 posts without a crochet, we sew a loop twice; This pattern is repeated five times, then we make a reversal, 12 loops remain unbonded.
12. Then we knit nine rows with a column without a crochet in each loop, keeping the number of loops.
13. Thus, the oval trunk and neck turned out, the head began to form (lateral and back parts with "needles") without a muzzle.
14. Now we return the previous number of loops - we tie a series in a circle, plus we type 12 loops over a place of a muzzle of the hedgehog.
15. We connect a chain from air loops with a cloth from columns without a crochet, then we knit in a circle. Now you can not knit from the wrong side, we knit "outside".
16. Now we start to loosen the loops. Two rows of knit in this way - a column without a crochet, two loops knit together.
17. The next two rows are knit, continuing to reduce the loops, we sew each two loops together. As a result, there are four loops, which we pull together the thread and fasten it tightly to the knot. The head of a hedgehog without a muzzle has turned out.
18. Due to the decrements on the crown of the head, the hedgehog "forehead" turned out to be something like a "toe-in-mouth".
19. The taurus of our hedgehog is ready, we will pass to the manufacture of the muzzle: we knit 4 air loops, we connect in a ring. We take the woolen threads - dark gray and light gray, the upper half of the muzzle is knitted with dark threads, the lower half - with light threads. You can certainly simplify the task and connect the entire face with one color, but still want to achieve the maximum resemblance to the cartoon hedgehog in the fog.
20. We sew each loop with a column without a crochet, catching both threads of the loop.
21. In the third row, every second loop we sew twice with the same pattern - a column without a crochet.
22. In the fourth row we sew twice every third loop. Thus, a conical shaped muzzle is formed.
23. Next, we will draw a pattern along the rows:
- 5 row: evenly add 2 bars without a crochet;
- 6 row: evenly add three columns without a crochet;
- 7 row: we knit 1 bar without crochet in each loop of the previous row;
- 8 row: evenly add 5 bars without a crochet;
- 9 row: evenly add 5 columns without a crochet;
- 10 row: 1 bar without crochet in each loop of the previous row;
- 11th row: we evenly add 6 columns without a crochet;
- 12 row: evenly add 7 columns without a crochet;)
- 13 row: evenly add 4 columns without a crochet;
- 14 row: evenly add 6 columns without a crochet;
- 15 row: evenly add 6 columns without a crochet;
- 16 row: evenly add 6 columns without a crochet;
- 17 row: evenly add 8 columns without a crochet;
- 18 row: 1 bar without crochet in each loop of the previous row.
Here is such a muzzle turned out as a result.
24. Sew the muzzle to the body and stuff the toy with a sintepon.

25. Sewing a muzzle, it is important to keep a toe.
26. Now we knit the hind legs using a 1.8 mm hook. We are closing in the ring 6 air loops.
27. In the second row, we loop each second loop twice.
28. Next, we knit 5 rows without changing the number of loops.
29. Then in one row add one column with a crochet and again we knit three rows without changes. We repeat this point two more times, then tie it to the knot and the legs are ready, we fill them tightly with a filler.
30. Let's start knitting the front paws, or the hedgehog handles. We collect six air loops, we close in a circle.
31. In the second row, we loop each second loop twice.
32. The next 12 rows are knit without changing the number of loops by a column without a crochet.
33. In the next row, make the elbows. We make a turn, we tie 4 columns without a crochet, again a turn, and we knit further on a circle of 8 rows with a column without a crochet, after which we cut off the thread, we tie a knot and fill the already prepared legs with a filler.
34. Sew the legs and handles to the body. We embroider with black thread the mouth, the tip of the nozzle, we make eyes. We tied the eyes with a thin hook of 0.95 mm and embroidered with a black thread, but the eyes can be cut out of white felt, dense fabric; you can insert ready-made.
35. Now with the help of a hook we try to pull out as many needles as possible, making the hedgehog more shaggy.

36. The hedgehog is ready. But something is missing for him ... We make a knot in which the Hedgehog carries the jug Bear cub. This knot will be a place for needles. Let's make a pattern for the nodule.
37. We transfer the pattern to the fabric (for the sample we chose a material without a pattern). The edges do not need to be processed, so the bundle will turn out to be more realistic.
38. Put in the center filler knot (cotton wool, sintepon, trimming the fabric), fix the fabric with needles, forming folds.
| | |
39. We seize the folds with a thread, of course, it should be in the tone of the fabric, and remove the needles.
40. The remaining "ears" knot, it will be easy.
41. To fasten the knot, we sewed a button. On the foot there is a button on the inside, it's almost invisible. You can simply attach it with thread.
42. That's all, our needle crochet "Hedgehog in the fog" is ready!
