Amigurumi is a spiral knitting technique invented in Japan. As a rule, animals, humanoid creatures, but sometimes inanimate objects are created in this way. Let's figure out how to make knitted dogs the amigurumi technique using a hook, a diagram and its description.
How to knit correctly
Dachshund - a colored blot
In order to crochet a dog using the amigurumi technique, you will need:
- yarn: black, brown and several bright colors;
- hook;
- scissors;
- glue;
- filler (synthetic winterizer or cotton wool);
- a special needle for sewing soft products, or a needle with a large eye will do;
- blanks for the spout and eyelet, such as beads.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Any toy made with this technique begins with an “amigurumi ring”.
- Start knitting from the body. Use yarn of any bright color. Make the beginning and end of the body of the product in one color, with the same yarn in the future you will knit the rest of the dog's details.
- Knit several colored stripes, alternating the colors of the knitting threads to your liking. Having completed the main detail, fill the future dachshund with filler.
- Now it's the turn of the head. Start knitting at the spout using a black skein. Go to the muzzle and, almost finished with the detail, stuff it with cotton wool or padding polyester. Now you need to tie the head of the dachshund.
- Do the same with the rest of the toy: legs, ears, neck and tail.
- Now sew all the details of the toy, glue or sew on the eyes and nose.
- You can also make a collar. To do this, tie the future jewelry with twenty air loops, make a ring out of it, and then another twenty single crochet. Secure the resulting collar, take another thread and make twenty single crochets from the side of the air loops of the finished collar.
- Decorate it with a bead by passing it through the thread and securing it in the desired place. You've got a dog, crocheted by the amigurumi technique. A multi-colored dachshund is the first step to mastering the method, try to make — other amigurumi animals according to easy patterns —.
Labrador puppy
For making a puppy you will need:
- yarn of any color;
- a hook in thickness to match the yarn;
- eyes and nose (you can take beads, buttons or something else);
- scissors;
- a needle with a large eye;
- filler (synthetic winterizer, cotton wool);
- glue.
Step-by-step instruction:
Crochet lovers will definitely love the dog chocolate color made with amigurumi.
You will need:
- yarn of brown, chocolate white and black;
- hook;
- scissors;
- filler (choose synthetic winterizer, cotton wool or any other);
- glue;
- eyes (beads, buttons or something else);
- needle with a wide eye or special for making soft toys.
Step-by-step instruction:
- First, make the dog's face using the instructions provided in the diagram. Fill it with filler and finish the product: fasten the thread, pull the loops, and hide the remaining tip. Mark the approximate location of the eyes and nose of the future dog.
- Now start knitting the nose, fasten the thread, fill in the toy part and sew to the muzzle.
- In order to tie your ears, you can choose one of the options that suit you. The first pattern is focused on ears made of thin mohair, while the second on the yarn of their semi-wool. At the end of knitting, fasten the thread, leave a long end for sewing.
- Make the most voluminous part of the toy - the torso. Stuff the body with padding polyester, cotton wool or any other filler, secure the thread and leave the long end for sewing.
- The tail is knitted with two yarns: first the one that is white, then chocolate. Fill part of the toy with filler, secure the thread and leave it to sew on.
- For the front and hind legs, we also need two yarns: white and brown. Follow the instructions given in the diagram, stuff the paws, for example, with a padding polyester and secure the thread.
- Now connect all the parts of the toy, sew on the eyes, you can decorate it with additional accessories.
You will need:
- yarn of black and white colors;
- floss of light beige, as well as gray and brown-red;
- synthetic winterizer or any other padding material;
- scissors;
- wide-eye needle;
- beady eyes; glue;
- hook number 1.5.
Step-by-step instruction:
- To make a crocheted amigurumi dog, carefully study the master class, which contains the diagram and detailed descriptions... Start at the head. Having made two air loops, from the second, start knitting the columns, each new row, increasing by six, unless the diagram says otherwise.
- When you finish knitting the part, do not sew up the resulting hole, you will need it to fill the toy with padding polyester.
- Do the same for the torso, front and hind legs, ears and tail and muzzle.
- Finally, fill the product with padding polyester and sew on the doggie's details. From the leftover white yarn, try to make an “amigurumi snowman”.
- Now decide on the place where the eyes of the york will be located, and sew or glue them. Use a black thread needle to make a spout.
- The turn of the long fur has come, and this is where you will need floss threads. Take a needle, insert a thread into the eyelet and insert the needle into each loop, starting at the nose. Pull the thread to the length you need, tie a knot and cut off the excess. Don't worry if the coat turns out to be uneven, because in the end you will have to trim the threads anyway.

Lovely crocheted dogs of all shapes, sizes and colors can be a great gift. They will delight adults as a thematic presentation, becoming an original part of the interior, and knitted dogs will be a bright, beautiful and safe toy for children.
Crochet dog options are numerous and varied, ranging from miniature amigurumi to full-size toys, from certain breed puppies to fantasy looks. You can create recumbent and sedentary dogs, or anthropomorphic dogs dressed in exclusive outfits. Whatever toy is conceived in the end, the general rules of creation, a set necessary materials and tools will always be about the same.
What is needed for knitting a dog
Before you start crocheting a dog, you should prepare everything you need that may come in handy in your work:
- yarn;
- hook;
- filler;
- needle;
- scissors;
- elements for decorating the product.
You can use any yarn for knitting a dog, but cotton threads are best, especially if the toy is intended for a child. The hook should be selected according to the thickness of the thread, it would be nice to take the hook one size smaller, then the knitting will be tight enough, this will help the toy to maintain its shape and will not allow the filler to crawl out through the loops.
As a filler, a synthetic winterizer or holofiber is well suited, which, unlike cotton wool, will not clump and make the product soft and pleasant to the touch. Dog eyes can be made from buttons, knitted, embroidered or purchased. If a creative idea involves the manufacture of a costume or its elements, then you need to take into account that it should be knitted from thinner threads than the toy itself. Pieces of felt, leather or any other materials can be used to decorate the product, depending on the concept.

Perhaps the most relevant gift for New Year 2018 will be toy symbols in the form of dogs! Therefore, today we will show how to crochet an amigurumi dog. The master class describes in detail each knitting step.
For knitting we need:
- yarn of yellow, white and brown;
- hook;
- scissors;
- synthetic fluff;
- 2 identical beads;
- a needle.
We take a white thread, since we will first knit the muzzle. We form an initial loop and make 2 air. loops.
Then, in the very first loop (2nd from the hook), we perform 6 single crochets. We will carry out all knitting only with single crochets.
In the 2nd row, we will add. We knit 2 columns in each loop.
3 yards We add again, but already through the th loop.
4 rows. The increase is carried out every 2 loops.
5 row. We add after 3 loops.
At the end of 5 rows, we get a circle of 30 loops.
In row 6 we knit 30 columns. We do not make increases, but simply knit 1 column in each loop.
7 row. We will add again. This time, the increase is carried out every 4 loops. At the exit, we get 36 loops, since we made 6 increases.
8 row. We knit 36 single crochet.
Change the thread to yellow and knit 1 row of 36 columns.
Next, we will subtract.
10 row. We knit with decrements every 3 loops.
11 row. We knit without subtraction.
12 row. Reduce again after 3 loops.
Row 13. No deductions.
Row 14. We will decrease every 2 loops.
15 row. We do not subtract.
16 row. We knit the decrements through every 1 loop.
Next, rows 17, 18 and 19 will be knitted without deductions. We fill the resulting part with synthetic fluff.
19 row. We decrease again after 1 loop.
Then we knit the decrements in each loop until the hole is closed.
The head was tied. We begin to knit the little body.
We start with yellow yarn. The beginning is exactly the same as that of the head. We collect 2 air. In the first loop we perform 6 columns. In row 2, we increase their number to 12, performing an increase in each loop.
Then add through 1 loop. Then 1 row through 2 loops. We get 24 loops. This will be enough.
We knit 3 rows without increments.
Change the thread and perform 2 more rows. Change the thread again and knit 3 rows. Change the thread and perform 2 rows.
Change the thread to yellow and begin to subtract. We knit the decrements through 2 loops. Then in a new row through 1 loop. Do not forget to fill the part with filler.
Next, we will subtract until the closure of the details in each loop.
We knit the hind legs. We start with white yarn. Again we form a ring of amigurumi from 6 columns and knit an increase in each of them. We carry out 2 rows without additions and change the thread. We knit further 2 more rows.
In the next 2 rows, we will decrease through 1 loop.
And we will knit 1 row, stitching the piece with single crochets.
We knit the front legs.
Again we make a ring of 6 columns, then increase to 12. We carry out 4 rows. Then we subtract through 1 loop and knit 3 more rows.
Change the thread and knit 3 more rows and 1 row for stitching the part.
We will knit the ears with yellow yarn.
We collect a chain of 12 air loops. Next, we knit 2 single crochet. 1 in each loop.
Then 2 half-columns. Next, 6 columns with 1 crochet. The last loop remains. We carry out 5 double crochets into it.
We knit on the second side in the same way, but in the reverse order. First, 6 columns with 1 crochet, then 2 half-columns and 2 single crochets.
To tie the ponytail, we will make 9 air ones. We will knit 4 columns without naikd, then we will make 1 decrease. We tie a row with single crochet.
We embroider the nose and mouth with brown yarn.
Knitted handicrafts can be not only cute and beautiful toys for children, but also excellent souvenirs or gifts that will decorate, and maybe even beneficially complement the interior of your home. If you are just starting out in needlework, try crocheting small dogs in amigurumi style, and soon you will want to fill the whole space with many of these adorable soft animals, which are easy enough to make with your own hands.
Amigurumi - knitting for everyone
One of the techniques of the Japanese art of knitting small animals is called such a beautiful and interesting word - needlewomen knit bunnies, cats, dogs, bears, monkeys, owls, sheep and many other animals. Initially, such knitting was carried out both on knitting needles and crocheting, however, in Lately crocheted crafts are gaining more and more popularity.
As a rule, to take a regular colored yarn and use a very simple knitting method - in a spiral. An amigurumi dog like any other knitted toy in this style, begins with knitting, the so-called amigurumi ring. If you look at the diagrams, you will see that it is usually designated there by the first row.
However, if you wish, you can start in a different way: just cast on two air loops and knit the number of single crochet stitches that you need in the second loop from the hook. However, keep in mind that the amigurumi ring has a very big advantage, since with this knitting method you will not have a hole in the middle.
In Japanese technique, unlike in European, circles, as a rule, do not need to be connected. It is better to crochet, which will be a couple of sizes smaller relative to the thickness of the selected yarn. This way you will be able to create a dense fabric, in which there will be no openings or gaps, and this will help the safety of the padding material and give the toy a more aesthetic look.
The amigurumi dog is made in parts, which are then connected. Sometimes, to give live weight to the limbs, plastic pieces are used to stuff them, and the body itself is stuffed with fiber filler.
Before starting directly to work, prepare everything you need:
- yarn the colors you want(as a rule, you will need several of them);
- hook relative to the thickness of the yarn;
- filler (you can take cotton wool or synthetic winterizer);
- scissors, glue;
- a special needle for sewing soft toys or a needle with a large eye;
- blanks for a spout and a peephole (it can be beads), other decorations, if you like.
Decide on the intended appearance your future toy. An amigurumi puppy can be of any breed: Dachshund, Bulldog, Poodle, Dalmatian, Papillon, Shiba, Shiba Inu, or any other. Depending on what you choose, you will need to select the colors of the yarn.
Here are some examples for inspiration. Let's start with the dachshund.
- The dachshund amigurumi will look very beautiful if you take threads of bright rainbow colors to create it. You will also need a thin hook (# 1.5).
- First make the body of the dachshund. You need to start and finish in one color (let it be brown), and in the middle, place stripes of all the colors of the rainbow. After tying the torso, fill it with filler.
- Then grab your head. You need to start knitting it from the spout, that is, with black yarn. Then fill and tie as well.
- Now it's the turn of the neck and ears. And after that - the tail and paws.
- When everything is ready, sew all the parts together, glue the eyes (or sew on beads). You can make a dachshund and a nice little collar. To do this, you need to knit twenty air loops, connect them in a ring and knit twenty single crochet. Then cut off the thread, choose some other color and with the thread of this color in the first row of the chain that you already have, knit another twenty sb with back side... To finish off the collar, take a bead, thread it through the string, and secure.
- Your rainbow and cheerful dachshund is ready!
You can knit any other dog in the same way. If you are not too confident in your abilities, you can use diagrams in which the order of work is clearly visible.
