ARMCHAIR pattern « 2022Dear friends. let me introduce myself My name is Kseniya, and for past four years crocheting has been my hobby. I'm absolutely obsessed with crocheting Amigurumi toys and photographing my toys in the best way to present my creations. Perhaps, the idea to combine these two kinds of expressing myself is the true reason why I'm so obsessed with amigurumi and that is why we are both here to crochet cozy armchair and his little friends Despite the sucsess with my past projects, it was a real challenge. Not many Amigurumi designers loves to work with turning rows. And most of them find this kind of crocheting not very nice looking I'm trying to win this battle and handle with that in the best way. | would like to left the prejudice behind. I've crocheted dolls, animals and stuff before, but the furniture - it is absolutely a new edge of my creativity And | must confess, I'm very proud of myself. Why I've chosen an armchair? | love comfort and coziness so much and what can be more comfort then softly cozy armchair with a cup of tea in the evening? Now | would like you to share with me the experience in creating something a brand new. Something you have never made before - a cute armchair with a pillow and a little ottoman. They will bring only funny vibes and memories to you Kseniya Krupskaya » MR.

ARMCHAIR pattern + 2022factors to define how much yarn you need 1. The first and the most obvious factor is a crochet hook size. If you use the yarn mentioned in the materials list and a crochet hook size other than recommended one, it will affect the amount of yarn necessary for your project. If you choose a larger crochet hook, then you will need more yarn and if you go for a smaller crochet hook - then you will need less yarn than it is specified in the materials list. 2. The second factor ~ your typical tension when crocheting. The gauge and tension is going to make a difference with the amount of used yarn because you get more or less space between stitches. The tighter your stitches are, the less yarn you need. 3. The third and very important condition - your stitches shape: V-shape, X- shape/semi-X. The stitch shape depends on what crochet technique you use - yarn over or yarn under the hook If you wrap the thread, placing the hook underneath the yarn strand (Yarn Under - circular movement of the hook from the right to the left) — this makes V-shaped stitch, if you put the hook over the yarn strand (Yarn Over - circular movement from the right to the left) - this makes X-shaped stitches, and if you make yarn under then yarn over, this technique gives us semi-X stitches. You will need much more yarn for the fabric made in Yarn Over technique compared with the amount needed for Yarn Under technique. Why did | specify the yarn density in the materials list? If you don't have the same brand that | recommend, you should use the yarn weight as substitution with any risk of miscalculation for the toy and clothes sizes.

In this pattern we use US terminology. Choose the correct hook size which is appropriate for the yarn you are going to use. Your choice can be different from mine, but please pay attention to the fact, that the size of the toy and the clothes will be different when you use other yarn and another hook size. Use a stitch marker for your convenience and rounds counting. The toy is crocheted in semi-X stitches. Shift stitches are calculated precisely for this technique. If you crochet the stitches with Yarn Overs, then You will need to determine the symmetry of the pieces and the number of shift stitches and their location by yourself. Stuff all the pieces as you go, tight (unless otherwise stated), gradually adding small portions of stuffing and forming necessary shapes of pieces. About yarn change. | recommend to change color in the last stitch of a round, before you start the round with a new color. Work this last stitch with thread of a new color in the following way: pull up a loop with the yarn you're working with and then finish with yarn of new color. About decreases. | make invisible decreases - work in FLO, but it's easier to make classic decreases in some stitches - in both loops. The armchair is 17.5 cm/6.69 inches tall in case of using the materials listed and crocheting in semi-X stitch. Kseniya Krupskaya » MR.

So please go to page 17 and read the part about the eyes. Next, before the sewing, we need to fix the 1st pc under the 2nd one, using pins.

When I've been crochet the chair | was not sure about where the eyes must be placed. So | didn't insert them in ordinary way before sewing on part B, but glued them (stub the assembled part B with the hook in the right place and insert previously glued eye). Considering the low popularity of using glue in crocheting, | recommend to use the safety eyes in ordinary way: insert each of them into MR of the white part of the eye or into the stitch next to MR (as | did), and secure it on the top part of part B between the rows 36 and 37 with 16 stitches apart, melt the back of the eye in the end.

Wrap these stitches with the thread using transverse stitches (pic. 56). Repeat to the second eyebrow. To be sure the eyebrow will not wobble make a couple of stitches through the body of the armchair too. Please, take your attention on the thread's tention. If it will be not strong enough the eyebrows will be wobbled and will not look nice 6. Sew on the legs. The last step - sew on the legs to the armchair and to the ottoman. Despite the fact, that the legs aren't big pieces, even with the tight stuffing they can deform the armchair (or the ottoman) and it will not be able to stand strict and even can fall. | decided to make them stronger with the simplest way, what I only can imagine. | didn't want to use a wire, because it could bring a new difficulties. With the wire we must to pierce the carton bottom and that could be a real problem. So because of this I've chose the regular q-tips to make the legs stronger Take the leg and the q-tip.
