Do-it-yourself items will never go out of style. Gone are the days when clothing sold in the markets was the only one available. And therefore, there was no such thing as individuality and style. Everything was monotonous and gray. And even the ability to knit did not save, because the store yarn was the same gray and of the same type.

Fortunately, everything has changed beyond recognition. Now in stores you can find a huge amount of the most diverse yarn for needlework. Even if your level of skill in knitting can be attributed only to the initial, then the use of the most simple patterns in combination with fancy yarns will allow you to create an original and unique model.

Unusual mittens "hedgehogs" for children

Today we offer to make an original and interesting model of mittens for your children. It is known that all children perceive the knitting process as something magical.

Indeed, before their eyes, an ordinary ball of thread, with the help of mother's magic hands, turns into beautiful thing... So, you can rest assured that these baby hedgehogs will become one of the favorite items in your son's or daughter's wardrobe. And you will turn into a real sorceress for him.

Materials for work:

You will need:

100 grams of yarn for mittens. Give preference to the yarn that contains wool. After all, do not forget that, despite the beauty, the main purpose of the mittens has not been canceled. And this is meant to warm delicate hands your baby in the cold winter time. And another important factor in the choice of yarn is the ability to withstand a large number of washings. After all, all mothers know the ability of children to puzzle their mother with the wash after each walk.

50 grams of "Grass" yarn for knitting "thorns". You can choose this yarn to match the main one, or you can choose a contrasting one. Just be sure to check the combination of the two colors in advance so that there is no unpleasant surprise after all the work is done.

You will also need: a set of stocking needles number 3, a hook, buttons for the eyes and one bead for the nose of two hedgehogs, a darning needle.

Work description:

Cast on about thirty-two stitches with your basic thread with your knitting needles. Tie twenty rows with a 2x2 elastic (this will be about 5.5 centimeters). Then in the 22nd row, start knitting the "front surface" pattern. Thus, you need to knit only sixteen rows.

In the seventeenth row, start knitting the hole that is needed for the thumb. This must be done according to the following scheme: knit 6 loops with a contrasting thread, and after that, again continue to knit on the left knitting needle and knit again with the main thread.

Knit 25 rows with front stitch. Do not forget to constantly apply mittens to the child's hand, so as not to miss the moment when it will be necessary to start decreasing. When the needles are just above the little finger, start gradually decreasing the mittens. To do this, on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles, you need to knit the first 2 loops together, and on the 2nd and 4th knitting needles, swap the last and penultimate loops and also knit them together. Be sure to swap the loops.

If you do not, then in the finished mitten with knitting needles you will have ugly holes in the seam.

Once there are four stitches left, pull the crochet through all of these stitches and finish knitting the top of your mitten. Hide the thread inside.

Now proceed to knitting the mitten's thumb with the needles. Remove the auxiliary thread. You should have seven loops at the bottom and six at the top. Type them on the knitting needles again, and also add one more buttonhole to the right and left. Knit seventeen circular rows with the main color. Then close the thumb in the same way that you did the closing of the loops of the mitten itself.

The mitten is ready. Now it remains to knit the needles of the fabulous hedgehog with knitting needles. Cast on the thread "Grass" twenty loops of the very first row of the back of the mitten. It is best if you use a crochet hook for this purpose. Then transfer the loops to the knitting needles and knit 12 centimeters in the front stitch pattern. Important: after that, sew the loops, without closing them, to the upper half of your mitten. It is better to do this with a knitted seam. Sew on the hedgehog thorns on both sides of the mitten.

Ears:

To knit ears, you need to crochet two air loops and connect them into a small ring. Crochet twelve double crochets in a circle. Everything. The ears for your hedgehogs are ready.

There is only one little thing left: to sew the received ears to the mitten. Then sew on the nose too.

So the work on this interesting model of children's mittens has come to an end. We are sure that knitting has brought you only positive emotions and good mood, and the process itself did not cause any difficulties and difficulties.

Do your laundry, dry your mittens and you can safely go for a walk in order to check your work of art in action. Be sure that the baby will be delighted with your gift, and along with a fun walk with your beloved parents, your mittens will make a splash.

Knitting mittens is not at all difficult. The most important thing is to take all the necessary measurements from your hand and make the correct calculation.

How to do this is very well described in the article below (click to enlarge):

When knitting mittens and gloves, it is not always possible to take measurements from the "customer". In such cases, sizing charts are very useful.

Children's sizes of mittens

The mittens are ready!

Knitting a mitten isn't much different from knitting a sock. The difference is that in the sock we knit the heel, and in the mitten - the toe. Therefore, for the one who knitted socks, knitting a mitten will no longer be difficult, and step by step photos help you navigate in the process.

To knit such mittens, we need:

• Angora yarn in light gray, dark gray and white
• 5 knitting needles, 4 round eye buttons and number 3 crochet hook

Here is a description of mittens for a brush circumference of 14 cm, you can calculate the required number of loops for your size using the following formula: 3 loops × brush circumference.

Let's start with the mitten

We start the mitten with a dark gray thread, cast on 40 loops and divide them equally into 4 knitting needles, close in a circle. Mark the first knitting needle with a thread of a contrasting color or attach a pin and knit 15 rows, alternating 1 front and 1 purl.

Next, we make strips with the front satin stitch in the following sequence: 2 rows of dark gray, 2 rows of light gray, 3 rows of dark gray, 4 rows of light gray and again 3 rows of dark gray. Then we knit all the time with a thread of light gray color.

After 15 rows from the elastic, you need to leave room for knitting a finger. To do this, from the number of loops on one knitting needle, you need to subtract 4 loops, this will be the width of the thumb. In our case, this is 6 loops. We knit the first 4 loops on the 4th knitting needle as usual, and we knit the remaining 6 loops with a thread of an auxiliary thread of a contrasting color so that it can be clearly seen (for the right mitten on the 3rd knitting needle we knit 6 loops with an auxiliary thread, and we knit the remaining 4 loops as usual ). Now, these knitted 6 loops are returned back to the knitting needle to the remaining 4 and knit them with the front ones.

In order for the end to turn out sharp, it is necessary to knit the first 2 loops for the back walls together with the front one on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles, and on the 2nd and 4th knitting needles the last 2 loops together for the front walls. We make such reductions in every 2nd row.

When 4 loops remain on the knitting needles, you need to change the yarn to a white thread and make decreases until only 2 loops remain, through which we stretch the thread with a crochet.

Now we knit a finger. Carefully remove the auxiliary thread from the mittens. At the bottom we get 6 loops, and at the top 5.

We reshoot them on the knitting needles. We put on the lower loops on 2 knitting needles, 3 loops each and add 1 more loop from the sides to each knitting needle. We also reshoot the upper loops on 2 knitting needles, on one 3 loops, and on the second 2 and add 1 loop from the sides of the hole on one knitting needle, and on the second 2. It turns out on all knitting needles 4 loops.

We knit so right up to the right sizes, we do the rounding as on the mitten itself.

Ears

For the ears, crochet with a white thread 2 air loops and knit 9 single crochet in the first loop. In the next row, we knit a single crochet in each loop. The ears will become slightly rounded.

We sew them to the place where the outer part of the mittens is rounded, we also sew on the eye buttons and the mittens are ready.
