On the eve of this wonderful holiday, store shelves are filled with various kinds of valentines, ranging from paper ones to soft toys, chocolate, ceramics, flower arrangements and so on. Surely someone who is fond of knitting will want to make a gift with their own hands. I want to offer a master class on making a funny cat in the shape of a heart. I also propose to deviate from the use of the traditional red color and tie an orange cat. We will knit with a hook No. 2-2.5 and a thread of medium thickness, it can be either pure acrylic or mixed yarn. Here, as they say, choose yarn that is pleasant to the touch.

To tie a cat, you need to prepare the following materials:

1. Orange yarn.
2. Black yarn.
3. Hook No. 2-2.5.
4. Sewing needle.
5. Wire.
6. Eyes.
7. Fishing line.
8. Filler for toys.
9. Glue.
10. Scissors.
11. Satin ribbon bow.

The height of the cat without a tail is 19 cm. We will knit from a heart, and then we will knit all the related details. The heart is knitted at the top. So, a hook and orange yarn are taken for work (it is enough to take a skein of 100 grams). Crochet 3 air loops and close in a ring.

This ring should be tied so that one more loop is formed from each loop. After that, this circle is tied.

Then it is necessary to knit an additional loop from each loop again, thereby obtaining an even “pancake”. This circle must be tied 2 times. In each loop of the circle, one additional loop must be knitted. Then this circle is tied 4 times. The result is something like this.

According to the above, it is necessary to knit exactly the same piece of orange yarn using hook No. 2 or No. 2.5, depending on which hook number is more convenient for you to knit.

When two identical parts are ready, they must be connected to each other from the inside. The parts are connected with a hook, the thread does not break, but knitting continues in a circle.

The resulting workpiece must be tied without introducing additional loops exactly 4 times.

Since we knit a heart, it is necessary to form a figure. Therefore, when knitting the next circle, it is necessary to cut 2 times along the edge of the workpiece, and knit one loop between cuts.

Then, knitting the next circle, it is necessary to cut 2 times along the edge of the workpiece, and knit one loop between cuts. Next, we knit in a circle, but we already make one cut in each edge. Again we make a double cut of the loops from each edge of the workpiece. Next, we decrease 1 loop from each edge of the heart. Then, knitting the next circle, it is necessary to cut 2 times along the edge of the workpiece, and knit one loop between cuts.

Next, you need to tie in a circle 4 times and in each circle along the edge of the workpiece make a decrease 1 time. After that, knitting the next circle, it is necessary to cut 2 times along the edge of the workpiece, and knit one loop between cuts.

Following this, it is necessary to tie in a circle 2 times and in each circle along the edge of the workpiece make a decrease 1 time.

Since there is a gradual reduction along the edges, the heart narrows, so it is necessary to place a filler for toys in it.

Then continue knitting and the next round is knitted by reducing the loops: cut along the edge 2 times, and cut 1 time in the center. In the next round, cut only along the edges and also 2 times. The next circle is tied without decreasing the loops. In the next round, cut only around the edges 1 time. The shape of the heart is basically ready, but since this is a cat, so you need to make paws.

Therefore, you need to knit in a circle, without introducing additional loops and without cutting along the edges, 3 rows. Then, from the side where the head will be, we knit like this: we separate 9 loops for ourselves and knit them, turn around and knit in the opposite direction, then turn around, knit back. Now we knit in a circle, connecting everything into a single whole.

On next round dec every 3rd st, on the next round dec every 2nd st. And in subsequent rows you need to decrease in each loop. A decrease in each loop will allow you to narrow the product faster. As it narrows, do not forget to fill the heart with a special filler for toys. At the end of the work, cut the thread and tie it into the “sole” of the cat. Heart is ready!

The cat needs to be made on the paws of division with a black thread. To do this, thread black yarn into a sewing needle. Piercing the foot in three places, you need to make small puffs.

What is a cat without a tail? Therefore, we knit a tail that fits easily and even quickly in moments. The tail is knitted on the basis of 8 loops, which are bound without addition and decrease strictly in a circle. The length of the tail is approximately 15-17 cm.

You need to thread the wire into the tail and fill it so that it can hold its shape and bend. The thickness of the wire should be such that the tail can hold its shape on its own and not fall to the sides.

Ears are also knitted from orange yarn. We start knitting the ears with 4 loops, knitting 2 rows, go to 3 loops, and then to 2 loops. Cut the thread. Tie the second ear for the cat in the same way.

On one part of the heart, you need to make a cat's face. Pass the black yarn through the needle, pierce with the needle through 7 rows and tighten. Fasten and cut the thread, and make a nose in the recess from the rest of the thread. Put your eyes on the glue. Glue tied ears to the top of the head with glue. Wrap the ears slightly towards you, pressing them down in the center.

Glue the tied tail to the second half of the heart. When the glue dries well, the tail can be shaped, that is, slightly wrapped.

To make antennae from the fishing line, the thickness of the fishing line should be medium so that the antennae do not fall on the toy, but keep well in the glued state. I made 3 antennae on each side. The length of one tendril is 6-7 cm. I had a ready-made bow of pink satin ribbon with white polka dots, which I also glued. The bow makes the toy more expressive and festive. By the way, the color of the bow can also be chosen to your taste, or based on who you will give a soft valentine to, a man or a woman.

Here is such a cute knitted gift for Valentine's Day. By the way, such a gift can be given not only on this day, but also on another occasion. Such a Valentine will not leave anyone indifferent, especially big lovers of soft toys. After all, the cat turns out to be very soft and positive. And at the end of the master class, I want to note that such a cat can be knitted with any color of yarn, for example, your loved one likes a certain color, so why not knit a valentine toy with this color.

Today we will knit a wonderful cat in the form of a heart.

Such a toy will be a great addition to a gift or be a souvenir. Also, such a cat-heart can play the role of decor, and is able to decorate any corner in the house.

In order to knit such a cute little cat, a minimum knitting experience is enough. If you have experience, then there will be no difficulties with the manufacture of such crafts. All you need to be able to do is knit single crochets, as well as the ability to properly expand and narrow the canvas.

For work we need:

1. thin wire
2. Crochet hook
3. yarn yellow, white, red
4. satin ribbon piece
5. scissors
6. sewing threads black, white

First you need to tie a chain, we knit it from air loops, it needs to be closed into a ring using a connecting post. Now we tie the ring in a spiral with single crochets. In each circular row, loops must be added evenly to expand the fabric. We knit the circle to the diameter we need, now we stop adding loops. We continue knitting, while forming a bulge. Now you need to tie another exactly the same part.

Two ready-made convex-shaped parts, you need to sew together together.

Now we start knitting already with a double part, we tie them in a circle, evenly reducing the loops, and so we end up with a heart-shaped knot. We move smoothly from the heart to knitting the legs of a cylindrical shape.

Now you need to separately knit the legs for the cat's heart. To do this, we knit a circle separately, the size of the diameter should be equal to the diameter of the cylindrical leg. We knit a “foot” on the leg from fluffy columns.

The body of the cat can now be stuffed with cotton wool and then the sole with paws can be sewn on with threads. After that, we begin to decorate the craft, and first we embroider the nose with black threads, then the eyes and mustache with white threads. After that, you need to knit the ears in the shape of triangles.

We can proceed to the manufacture of the tail. It will be figured with us, and therefore, at first we wind cotton wool on the wire and tie everything with yarn of the main color, we do it with single crochets. When the tail is ready, carefully sew it to the cat's body and give it the necessary shape. Now our cat is ready, try to make him another girlfriend. We put on a bow for a cat boy like a gentleman. We make it from a satin ribbon, iron it well, and then sew it securely.

What kind of original gifts do not offer store shelves before Valentine's Day to

Knitting pattern for a cat in the form of a heart

Tips

A cat in the shape of a heart can be not only red, but any other. A fluffy cat made of angora yarn will look especially cute.

To make your cat valentine stable, use cereals or small coins as a filler.

You can decorate a cat not only with a bow, but also with a beautiful brooch or a badge with the name of a loved one.

Lovebirds

A cat and a cat have long been a symbol of home comfort, so this is the symbolic gift that will be presented to the newlyweds on their wedding day or spouses in love with each other on the anniversary of their life together. It is not difficult to make such a souvenir toy, you just need to use our master class and knitting pattern.

Materials:

• yarn of any color;
• suitable hook, needle, scissors;
• eyes, spouts, mustache fishing line, bows for decoration;
• cereals or granules for the stability of the product.

Master class and knitting pattern

Lovebirds are crocheted from smooth, for example, acrylic, or fluffy (mohair, angora) yarn. The body is common to both cats. It is knitted in the round with single crochets, and then divided into two halves. Necks, heads and ponytails are already knitted separately.

Ideas for lovebirds

There are many options for creating crochet lovebirds, ranging from color to execution technology. For example, as in our master class, cats can be in close contact with each other, or they can be a little further away. Tails can be separate, and maybe one tail for two. If the gift is intended for a wedding, then the cats can be decorated with wedding accessories, if for a present to a loved one - a valentine or a heart.

Knitted cats do not look as elegant as crocheted ones, but you can try to make them in this version. The principle of knitting will be the same as in the master class proposed above, but with the difference that it would be best to knit one common neck, and then sew it in half with threads. You can knit the lovebirds with knitting needles each separately, but only then you will need to sew threads to each other. It is best to decorate such cats made with knitting needles in a comic style and present them to a couple with a good sense of humor.

1 row: First of all, we will knit the base for the cat - this is the heart. Take red yarn and a hook, make 3 air loops, and close the beginning and end of the chain.

2 row: from each loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, all loops in the row increase by 2 times.

3 row: from each second loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, in a row the loops will increase through one loop.

Row 4: Knit this row in the same way as the third row.

5th and 6th rows: simply knit all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops.

7 row: from each loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, all loops in the row increase by 2 times.

8.9, 10, 11 rows: simply tie all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops. The result is such a hemisphere. When knitting these rows, the product will begin to narrow slightly.

The two resulting hemispheres must be connected together and crocheted on one side.

12 row: two connected hemispheres must be tied in a single circle.

13th and 14th row: simply tie all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops.

34 row: cut in every third loop.

36 row: cut in each loop. Tie the thread well and cut.

For a cat, the tail is knitted in the form of a tourniquet, knitted in a circle of 11 loops. There is no need to add and subtract loops. Loops are reduced only at the end of the tail. The length of the tail is about 15 cm. The tail also needs to be filled with padding polyester. If you want the tail to bend, then you need to thread the wire into it.

For a cat, you need to tie the ears. Therefore, a chain of 5 loops is cast on and knitted in two rows, and then knit 3 loops in a row, and knit 1 loop in the other row. Tie the second ear.

Let's start forming the muzzle of our cat. Thread black acrylic through a sewing needle. Pierce with a needle 6 rows, capturing the synthetic winterizer. By the way, the more you grab the synthetic winterizer, the more cheeks the cat will have. Do the same with the paws, you need to make 3 punctures, you can not pierce the paws too deeply.

Heat the glue gun and glue round eyes and glue a nose made of black acrylic a little lower. Fold a bow from a satin ribbon and glue it.

Use glue to glue the tail and give it the desired shape. Glue the ears to the head on both sides. Cut the fishing line into pieces, 5-6 cm long. Glue the antennae also with glue.

Valentine - the cat is ready!

Surely such a toy will find its application in the house of the person to whom the gift is intended. A polka dot satin ribbon bow makes the gift more festive. Due to the delicate acrylic yarn and synthetic winterizer, it is pleasant to hold the toy in your hands, it does not prick, it has good softness, and thanks to the filler it retains its shape.
