Hello everyone, with today's tutorial
we start a new project, the Nativity crochet
it was a long time since I wanted to do my Nativity crochet
and this year I did it
I asked you if you would like this idea
and many of you have said yes, and so here are the tutorials
in today's tutorial we start with Maria
we make the body, which is composed of a single piece,
the dress and the head
and then we will do arms
the body we learn to do today
is the same that we will use for all the statutes
let's start with Jesus, Joseph and Mary
then, even following your requests,
we add all the other characters of the Nativity
so, write me a lot of messages under the video,
telling me which characters you're going to do first
these figurines are about 8-9cm tall
they are slightly taller than 4 fingers
I used a 2.5mm crochet hook
and I used this yarn, 50% wool, 50% acrylic
I used this, but we can use any yarn,
in the label of this yarn a 4 mm crochet is recommended
but, as we know, when we work an amigurumi
it is recommended to use a smaller crochet
or anyway, the right crochet for you,
to obtain a compact fabric
I used a 50% wool 50% acrylic yarn
and you saw what it is
but we can use whatever yarn we prefer
cotton, wool or acrylic
however I suggest you use a recommended yarn for 4 or 5mm crochet hooks
now stop the chatter and let's start the tutorial
to make the Nativity figurines we need:
the chosen yarn in different colors,
I used a recommended yarn for a 4mm crochet
a little stuffing for cushions, scissors
a 2.5mm crochet and a 3.5mm crochet hook
needle and thread, 2 beads for the eyes
and a thin yarn to embroider the mouth
let's start with the yarn of the primary color, of Maria's dress
let's make a magic ring
round 1: 6sc
and close the magic ring
we weave in a spiral, so I suggest you mark
the beginning of the round with a marker or a thread
round 2: 6inc (12)
round 3: (1sc 1inc)x6 (18)
round 4: (1inc 2sc)x6 (24)
round 5: 24sc in back loop only (BLO) (24)
round 6-15: 24sc (24)
woven some 24-stitch rounds
we leave work aside, and embroider the dress
we use the yarn of the secondary color
and we weave a round of sl st,
using the available thread, of the sc in BLO round
this is the thread we did not weave in the 5th round
we use these threads to weave a round of sl st
after the round, cut the thread and extract the crochet
using a woolen needle, we make the invisible closure
insert the needle in the entire chain of the 1st stitch
and let's go back, inserting the needle in the middle of the last stitch
let's pass the thread inside
in this way we create an additional chain and close the round
we also pass inside the initial thread
and knot it
and this is the result
now we embroider another decoration
2 rounds later
embroider a round of sl st as you show the images
when you weave st st,
do not tighten the stitches, otherwise the work will curl
before closing the round, we cut the thread
and make the invisible closure, as we have learned
we continue to weave the 24sc rounds up to the 15th round
round 16: (2sc 1dec)x6 (18)
we finish the round with 1dec
we close this stitch with the secondary color yarn
we weave the next round with the secondary color
round 17: (1sc 1dec)x6 (12)
we hide the yarn tails through 5 or 6 stitches
round 17: (1sc 1dec)x6 (12)
when the yarn tails are hidden, we cut the pink yarn
in the next round we start to weave the head
then, as before, we close the last stitch
of the round with the yarn of the new color
the skin color
round 18: (1sc 1inc)x6 (18)
and we hide the yarn tails, as before
and cut the blue yarn
finished the 18th round we fill the body with cotton wool
fill well, so that the body has the right shape,
but not too much, the bottom must remain flat,
so the figurine can stand up
round 19: (2sc 1inc)x6 (24)
round 20: (5sc 1inc)x4 (28)
round 21-23: 28sc (28)
round 24: (5sc 1dec)x4 (24)
round 25: (2sc 1dec)x6 (18)
round 26: (1sc 1dec)x6 (12)
finished the round, cut the thread, take out the crochet,
remove the marker
and fill the head with cotton wool
when you are satisfied with the result
with a woolen needle and the tail of yarn,
we close the hole
insert the needle, on the outside thread of all the chains
of the last round of stitches
we pull the thread to close
let's make a knot
we hide the knot
and we hide the thread through the head
the body is ready
we will use the same pattern, with different colors, to make the body of all the characters of the Nativity
Arms: with the color of the skin
in a magic ring, in the 1st round we weave 6sc
round 2-3: 6sc
when we work laps without increases
work tends to curl upwards
remember that this is the reverse side of the work, the straight side is inside
and then gradually, we turn the work on the straight side
continue
in the 4th round we weave with the primary color of the dress
then we close the last stitch of the 3rd round with the new color
round 4: (1sc 1inc)x3 (9)
and when we have hidden the yarn tails, we cut the skin color
we use the yarn tails to stuff the hand
round 5: (2sc 1inc)x3 (12)
round 6-7: 12sc (12)
after the 7th lap we leave the work in suspension
and we make the sleeve decoration
with the secondary color, we weave 1 round of sl st,
as for the dress
between the 1st and 2nd rounds of the sleeve
follow the pictures, explain more than words
at the end of the round, work in such a way as to camouflage the spiral processing step
we close the round with the invisible closure,
as we have learned
we knot and hide the threads
let's start weaving again
round 8: (1sc 1dec)x4 (8)
round 9: 8sc (8)
finished the tour we weave 1sl st
to flatten the spiral processing step
ch 1 a cut a long yarn
the arm is ready, no need to stuff it
we weave another arm following the same pattern
only difference is the embroidery
we embroider the sleeve turning the piece upside down
put the piece with the hand upwards
in this way the embroidery of the 2 sleeves will be mirrored
for today I'll finish the tutorial here
in the next tutorial we learn how to make the veil,
hair and assemble everything
in the meantime I wait for your messages under the video
let me know if you want to do other characters besides Mary Joseph and Jesus
and, if so, what others do you want to do
as always, I thank you for choosing to see this tutorial
I'll wait for you in the next one
I send you a big hug and a kiss
CIAO!!!
