Master class from Larisa (Rozetka).
This is a “translation” of the diagrams with some explanations. Because You can’t do detailed explanations on one piece of paper, but there are enough details here - it was decided to make a small master class on how to knit and assemble Hello Kitty.

So let's start... from the head Hello Kitty. We knit it, starting from the top of the head, according to the pattern, in a circle. We start each circular row with a VP (cable loop) lift and end with a SS (connecting post). Chain of air loops– this is the 0th row, we don’t count it. The 1st row is the first row of sc (single crochet). Here he is in person.

The finished, unfilled head piece looks like this. Do not be confused by some unevenness of this part - we made the increases in a spiral, when we fill it, it will accept correct form Hello Kitty heads.

We knit all other parts, with the exception of the legs, starting with the amigurumi ring. We wrap the thread around index finger twice, remove the resulting ring from your finger and knit the first 6 sc into it.

Then we pull the short end of the thread and tighten the sc into a tight ring. Thanks to this method of starting knitting, we will not have a hole. We knit the ears and tail, starting with this ring according to the pattern.

We start knitting the legs from the sole with red thread. We knit the 4th row with a sc, inserting the hook not into the braid of the previous row, but behind the sc itself, inserting the hook from the wrong side. This way, the braid that we didn't knit into will be on the outside, helping the shoe take shape.

We knit the 5th row in the usual way, and the 6th is exactly the same as the 4th.
Starting from the 7th row, we knit with thread white last three rows. These are the details of the legs you should get.

We begin to knit the arms with 6 sc into an amigurumi ring with white thread. In the 6th row we introduce a red thread and continue to knit according to the pattern until the 12th row. Here we leave the knitting unfinished and proceed to tying the sleeve frill. We tie this part to the 7th row of the handle part (the second row with a red thread). The number of sc in the first row should be 15. The same number as in the 7th row of the handle parts. To do this, bend the part so that the 7th row becomes the fold line.

After the sleeve frill detail is completed, fill the detail with padding poly. This is where an ordinary pencil may come in handy.
When the part is filled, we finish it with the last two rows according to the pattern. Then we start knitting the body. Using a white thread we knit 10 rows of sc according to the pattern, making increases. In the 11th row we introduce a red thread. It is more convenient to immediately make a VP on a thread of a new color and insert it with a connecting column at the very end of the 10th row.

We continue knitting in the circle with a red thread, making decreases according to the pattern. It should look like this.

Now let's start knitting the skirt. This is important! We tie the skirt to the 12th row (this is the second red row), in this row the number of sc is 42. To do this, bend the body part so that the 12th row becomes the fold line. We begin to attach the skirt detail to this row. We continue knitting in the round, making even increases according to the pattern.

So, we have all the details ready. Let's start filling and stitching.

Let's start again with the head. When filling it, we shape it with our hands, slightly flattening and pressing it on top so that it takes the shape of Hello Kitty's head, and not a ball.

Then we fill the body and sew the head to it. We fill the legs and sew them from below to the body. Now that the legs are sewn, it will be easy for us to center the tail and place it in its rightful place.

The handles can simply be tightly sewn to the sides, or you can sew them using a hinge so that they move, spin...
We start by taking a double thread to match and tying a knot at the tip. We pass the thread through the handles so that the knot is on the side that will be adjacent to the body.
Now we thread the thread back through the body.

We thread the second handle with the same thread, continuing the maneuver. We, as it were, string our parts onto a thread - handle + body + handle.

Now we thread the thread back through all three parts. We repeat this procedure a couple more times, slightly pulling the parts together. We bring the thread under the skirt, where we cut the thread from the needle, tie a knot and use a hook to hide the knot inside. Let's start finishing the muzzle. The eyes and nose, of course, can be cut out and glued or sewn on from felt, but I couldn’t find one. Therefore, for the nose, I took hook No. 1, yellow floss threads in two layers and knitted it as follows:
0th row: 3VP + 1VP lifting, then we knit in a circle.
1st row: in the first two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 3СБН, in the next two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 2СБН, we finish the SS row.
2nd row: VP lifting, 2SC in the first loop, 1SC in the next loop, 2SC in the next three loops, then 1SC and in the last two loops 2SC, finishing the SS row.
Sew the nose to the muzzle.

It’s just that the sewn-on nose looks a little like a snout...because of its prominence or something...so I suggest putting satin stitches on top of it. If you want it not to be voluminous, you can embroider quite a bit. I like it to be more voluminous, so I make more stitches. At the end of the embroidery, I do not pass the stitches under the spout, but only over it, making small stitches on the sides. This results in smoother edges.

The eyes are knitted exactly the same as the nose. I used a thin wool thread, so I didn’t embroider with satin stitch on top...and the eyes didn’t need extra volume.
Advice. To correctly position the eyes and nose, you can first sketch out their location on paper and, when you are satisfied with the final version, i.e. you will see that Hello Kitty is looking at you, you can sew on the eyes and nose, correlating their location with the pattern.
After this, we embroider the antennae with wide stitches. One tendril - one stitch.
We decorate Hello Kitty's dress, shoes and head with roses.
We will need medium and small sized roses.

I suggest not stopping at the decoration with roses
The dress can be knitted in a different color and with a completely different trim. In general, there is plenty of space for your imagination to fly. My Hello Kitty, for example, now has a friend like this.

Modern needlewomen increasingly give preference to new techniques in the art of knitting. One of them was the technique of knitting Japanese toys called “amigurumi”. This type of knitting appeared relatively recently, although Japanese craftsmen are convinced that its history goes back about three hundred years.

Amigurumi toys

In fact, amigurumi are small cute toys that are crocheted with a very fine crochet hook. The size of these toys rarely exceeds 15 cm. These toys are knitted in the form of: animals, cartoon characters or inanimate objects. And one of the most popular characters for amigurumi is Hello kitty. This character deserves special attention.

Hello Kitty story

The first Hellokitty was created in 1974 by Japanese toy company Sanrio. Shintaro Tsuji (founder of Sanrio) first thought about creating this toy in the same 1974. The author wanted to create some semblance of an ideal hero, hundreds of layouts were drawn and an equally large number of concepts were made. And as soon as the final model of this toy was created, it immediately became clear to everyone that this was the future symbol of the Japanese pop industry. In 1976, the Hello kitty trademark was also released, which today brings its owners an income of about $0.5 million.

The cat’s name didn’t work out at first either. The author had two options for the title. The first was her current name, and the second was the name of his then cat. After much doubt and hesitation, the toy received its name and remains faithful to it to this day.

Now the Hello kitty brand has achieved worldwide popularity. And where did it all begin? It turns out that the first product with the image of the famous cat to gain enormous attention was a regular wallet. Of course, before this they produced postcards and stamps, key rings and notebooks, but we couldn’t count on much popularity.

So, the popularity of the brand began to grow literally before our eyes. But the end of the eighties, marked by peak sales, gave a reverse impetus. Consumer power and desires began to dictate new changes for Hello kitty. The first thing the creators of the toy started with was removing the black edging. Next, the doll has new outfits and accessories. In 1987, the world saw new portraits of Hello kitty. And a little later the cat had a family.

By now, Sanrio has developed the Hello kitty brand to indescribable proportions. Almost everything is released under this name:

clothes and toys for children;
stationery;
sporting goods;
Stuffed Toys;
home textiles and so on.

Knitting Hello kitty

It's no secret that any soft toy can be recreated with your own hands. And every child would probably like to have a Hello kitty doll.

For many needlewomen, their first Hello Kitty toys turn out to be quite cute. And the process of creation itself occurs almost on an intuitive level, but without detailed description doesn't work anywhere. As time passes, needlewomen learn important lessons. They note that the operating rules they learned help create unique and high-quality toys.

These rules are very simple and easy to remember. They help you master and understand the essence of creating amigurumi knitted toys.

About materials and tools

· First you need to decide on the yarn. For beginners, it is better to hold off on textured and fine yarns. Why is that? Everything is very simple; the structure of the threads itself encourages maximum care, and here even experienced knitters can make mistakes in their calculations. To create your first products, it is better to take yarn that contains 100% cotton. It is very easy to knit, does not deform or roll down. In addition to cotton, acrylic thread will also work.

· Next, let's look at the options for selecting a hook. When buying a tool like this to create knitted amigurumi toys, you should pay attention to its end. The tip of the hook should not be very sharp or very rounded. Make sure that the hook has a large enough recess to catch the thread. As for the size, it is better that it is 1–2 mm narrower than the working thread.

· Markers and special pins are used to mark connected rows.

· There is a lot of controversy about padding. But most needlewomen choose down. It is very easy to stuff toys with this material due to its crumbly structure. A good alternative to down would be “holofiber” or padding polyester.

· To decorate and finish the finished toy you may need: felt; wire; plastic nose and eyes; knitting and embroidery needles; buttons.

About the technique of knitting amigurumi toys

· For starter models, it is better to choose simple schemes.

· Almost all elements of toys are knitted using single crochets and in a spiral (in knitting, connecting stitches and lifting air loops are not used).

· Without exception, all toys are knitted starting with an amigurumi ring.

· Reducing the number of stitches occurs by knitting two stitches together. Although sometimes they use the technique of skipping columns.

· As for the loops, all products are knitted with both walls of the loops captured. Only decorative finishing details.

· Accuracy in the assembly process is the key to successfully creating a beautiful and unique toy. It is important not only to secure all the threads well, but to carefully hide them. During the finishing process, it is better to try on the parts in advance, and only then sew them on. It is better to use large knitting needles and yarn from which the main work is made.

About amigurumi patterns

· Scheme with description. These schemes are the simplest solution for those who are just starting to get acquainted with this technique. As a rule, these patterns describe only the knitting formula for the basic row of the pattern. In addition, schemes in Russian began to appear very often. They are primarily suitable for beginner needlewomen.

· Schemes with tables. To work with these schemes, a deeper level of training is required. In the tables, the diagrams are presented in the form of designations of rows and loops, indicating the number of the row and the number of loops.

· Japanese patterns are perhaps one of the most complex types. These diagrams consist of 2 parts. The first is a picture, and the second is a table with a description. The tables in these patterns are quite complex, so only with the help of a description is it possible to determine the row numbers and the number of loops in the patterns.

About caring for toys

· To clean small toys from dust, it is better to use a soft brush. Large toys can be handled with a vacuum cleaner. In the cold season, cleaning with snow will not be superfluous.

· If it comes to washing, it is better to do it manually using detergent. Bleaches and stain removers should absolutely not be used.

· When cleaning toys in washing machine Only gentle mode is recommended.

· When drying, do not hang the toy (this can lead to its deformation); it is better to place it on a moisture-absorbing mat.

Have fun creating!

So let's start...with Hello Kitty's head. We knit it, starting from the top of the head, according to the pattern, in a circle. We start each circular row with a VP (cable loop) lift and end with a SS (connecting post). The chain of air loops is the 0th row, we do not count it. The 1st row is the first row of sc (single crochet).

The finished, unfilled head piece looks like this. Don't be confused by some of the unevenness of this part - we made the increases in a spiral, when we fill it, it will take the correct shape of Hello Kitty's head.

We knit all other parts, with the exception of the legs, starting with the amigurumi ring. We wrap the thread around the index finger twice, remove the resulting ring from the finger and knit the first 6 sc into it.

Then we pull the short end of the thread and tighten the sc into a tight ring. Thanks to this method of starting knitting, we will not have a hole.

We knit the ears and tail, starting with this ring according to the pattern.

We knit the 5th row in the usual way, and the 6th row in the same way as the 4th.
Starting from the 7th row, we knit the last three rows with a white thread. These are the details of the legs you should get.

We begin to knit the arms with 6 sc into an amigurumi ring with white thread. In the 6th row we introduce a red thread and continue knitting according to the pattern until the 12th row. Here we leave the knitting unfinished and proceed to tying the sleeve frill. We tie this part to the 7th row of the handle part (the second row with a red thread). The number of sc in the first row should be 15. The same number as in the 7th row of the handle parts. To do this, bend the part so that the 7th row becomes the fold line.

We continue knitting in the round, making even increases according to the pattern.

So, we have all the details ready. Let's start filling and stitching.

Let's start again with the head. When filling it, we shape it with our hands, slightly flattening and pressing it on top so that it takes the shape of Hello Kitty's head, and not a ball.

Now we sew on the ears. We don't fill our ears. We try to place them so that already at this stage the shape of Hello Kitty’s head can be guessed. The top of the head can serve as a guide here - the beginning of knitting the head. Ears begin to grow right along the edges of it.

We thread the second handle with the same thread, continuing the maneuver. We, as it were, string our parts onto a thread - handle + body + handle.

Let's start finishing the muzzle. For the nose, I took hook No. 1, yellow floss threads in two layers and knitted it as follows:
0th row: 3VP + 1VP lifting, then we knit in a circle.
1st row: in the first two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 3СБН, in the next two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 2СБН, we finish the SS row.
2nd row: VP lifting, 2SC in the first loop, 1SC in the next loop, 2SC in the next three loops, then 1SC and in the last two loops 2SC, finishing the SS row.
Sew the nose to the muzzle.

(from the English “Hello, pussy”) - a Japanese pop culture character, a small white cat in a simplified drawing - was invented by Sanrio in 1974, and 2 years later the trademark of the same name was registered.

Kitty was invented in 1974 by Shintaro Tsuji, owner of the Japanese toy company Sanrio. One day he decided to come up with a new character that everyone would like. As a result of long work (Tsuji spent a long time inventing, drawing different variants, checking the reaction of buyers) the ideal hero appeared. Today, the Hello Kitty brand generates about half a million dollars in revenue annually.
At first there were also doubts about the cat's name. Its creator tossed between versions of “Hello Kitty” and “Kitty White” - that was the name of one of Alice’s cats from the book “Alice in Wonderland.” But the latter option was ultimately rejected.
The first product to gain immense popularity among customers was a simple wallet with the image of Kitty. Before this, postcards and other similar little things with her image were issued, but they were not so successful.
Kitty's popularity grew steadily, but in the late eighties it peaked and sales began to slowly decline. Buyers did not like that Kitty was always the same and seemed to be lifeless. She was depicted in one pose - her muzzle looks at the viewer, and her body is turned sideways, she was dressed in a blue jumpsuit, and a thick black outline was drawn around the figure. Then the designer of the Sanrio company, Yuko Yamaguchi, decided to change this boring image. Now the black outline has been removed and Kitty appears in different clothes and with different objects in her paws.
A little later, it was decided to expand the scope of the brand’s influence to older people. In 1987, a number of white cat images were created to suit the tastes of older buyers.
Kitty also has a family - dad, mom, grandparents and sister Mimmi, who has a bow on her left ear, so as not to be confused with Kitty - and a hamster, Sugar.
Nowadays there is a huge variety of different products with Kitty coming out, from T-shirts and soft toys to toasters baking toast with her image on it, and machine guns.
based on materials from Wikipedia

Surprisingly, among such an assortment of products with the image of Kitty, I have never seen Kitty in the form of a soft toy.
I propose to fill this deficiency :-)

To crochet Kitty, we will need:

White and red yarn (you can use cotton or acrylic);
- remnants of thinner yarn in pink, orange, yellow and green colors - for roses;
- hook No. 3;
- filler (sintepon is best);
- cardboard circles or coins in the legs for stability;
- black and yellow felt for the eyes and nose.

Knitting description:

Description knitted from Japanese magazine"Knit Dolls og Goods No. 3. Hello Kitty" (to enlarge - click on the picture with the mouse):

A very detailed and understandable master class on knitting such a Kitty cat was prepared by a craftswoman under the nickname Socket. Her real name is Larisa and she is a very talented knitter, as well as a very sympathetic and pleasant person to talk to.
By the way, on her blog there are also master classes on making Kitty a butterfly and Kitty in a dress with beads. Therefore, I highly recommend visiting her :-)

I also recommend taking a look at the topic “Kitty, knitting together” on the Technomagic website, where, in the company of many needlewomen, you can knit Kitty to your taste and color, and also get a lot useful tips on assembly, stuffing and design of the muzzle.
