Click For Crochet Abbreviations List
Shiba Inu (Siba Inu) is the most common breed of dogs in Japan. A unique breed of cute dogs, hardy and playful. A dog is a hunter, a companion dog. Tie your child such a friend, and he will not part with it!
The sizes of a knitted toy depend on the chosen number of a hook and a yarn, at me it has turned out ok. 10 cm in height.
For crochet crochet you will need:
remnants of white, red and a little black yarn (I have 100% acrylic, I decided to make a 3-color dog);
hook number 2;
safe eyes or beads.
Important: the size of the knitted toy can vary, depending on the yarn chosen and the number of the hook.
In the original knitting details of amigurumi begins with an amigurumi ring, but I prefer to start with 2 air loops instead of a ring. Start at your discretion.
Used abbreviations
vn - air loop
ss - connecting column
sb - column without crochet
pr - 2 sb in one loop
yb - 2 sb knit together
Knitting in a circle: at the beginning of each row do 1 in, at the end, close it with ss.
Knitting in a spiral: all the stitches are knitted in a spiral, the beginning of the row is conveniently marked with a marker or a contra thread, at the end of the part you make 1 cc.
Note: if you have never knitted a toy with a color change, be sure to check "How to knit two-tone toys in a spiral and in a circle" .
