Hello everyone, in the tutorial today we do the donkey
It's part of the Christmas nativity scene,
which we're doing this year
It is a crochet Nativity, using mostly the amigurumi technique
if you have not seen the previous tutorials
find the link to the playlist in the information box and in the upper right corner
in the previous tutorial we learned how to do:
the Virgin Mary, and St. Joseph
Baby Jesus and the manger
and in the last tutorial we did the ox
the patterns of the ox and the donkey are very similar
in fact today we make the muzzle of the donkey,
which is peculiar to the donkey
then we will follow the pattern of the ox
in fact, the body and a part of the head are the same
so we can use the ox tutorial
also for the donkey's paws we can use the ox tutorial
they are the same, both the front and back ones
even the materials are the same
so stop the chatter and let's start the tutorial
for the snout, let's make a slip knot
ch3
starting from the 2nd chain from the crochet
and weaving in the back thread of the chains
round 1: 2 d.inc. (3sc in each ch) (6)
this is the 1st round
we weave in a spiral, so I suggest you mark the beginning of the round with a marker or a thread
round 2: (1sc 1inc 1sc)x2 (8)
from the next round we start
to weave with the main color of the donkey
then we close the last stitch of the 2nd round
with the new color
round 3: 8sc (8)
and in the meantime we hide the yarn tails through the stitches
round 3: 8sc (8)
we hide the tail of white yarn,
through all the points of the 3rd round
and when the 3rd turn is woven,
we gently pull it
in this way we define the shape of the nose
round 4: 7sc 1inc (9)
round 5: (2sc 1inc)x3 (12)
round 6: (2sc 1inc)x4 (16)
round 7: 6sc (1inc 4sc)x2 (18)
round 8: 18sc (18)
when the eighth round is woven
we begin to follow the pattern of the ox,
starting from the 10th round (5':55'' of tutorial)
so we will shape the head
and to the body
this is the result when we weave the whole pattern of the body, of the ox
with a thin cotton thread, I embroidered the mouth
and nostrils
both for the front legs and for the back ones,
we use the scheme of the ox
in this case, I did 2 rounds with the white color,
but you can do them any way you like
for the ears: let's make a slip knot and ch4
starting from the 2nd chain from the crochet
we weave: 2sc
in the last ch weave: 1sc, 1hdc, 2ch, 1slst in the hdc, 1sc
we weave around the chains
therefore, we complete the ear by weaving 2sc
1 in each of the 2 chains
ch1 and cut a long yarn
let's weave another ear equal to this
for the tail we make a tassel
watch the video to see how, explain better than words
at the end we bring the yarn at the top, in the middle of the tassel
with this thread we sew the tail to the body
if you like you can leave the queue like that
cutting all the threads to the same extent
or, with the needle, we can comb the wool
in this way
comb the wool, until you get the result you like
and when we are satisfied,
with the scissors cut the wool to form the tail
now that we have all the pieces, we have to sew them
first we fix them with pins
I placed the front legs, as I did for the ox
as if he were on his knees
while I have paired the hind legs in this way
so when he will be in the Christmas Nativity
it will be lying this way
it is useless to show you how to sew the pieces,
we can use the ox tutorial
because the technique is the same
this time I'll show you how to sew the ear
let's place the ear
watch the video to understand how to sew
entering the chain of the 1st stitch, on the other side
bring the needle to the center, behind the ear
pull the thread well
we take one last stitch in the middle,
at the back of the ear
let the thread come out of the same hole,
from which the thread of the other ear comes out
we knot and hide the threads
this is the result, when we sewed all the pieces
as I told you, the legs I sewed in this position
and I sewed the tail with the long thread of the tassel
even for the donkey, we bend his head,
in the position we prefer
if we want we can bend the snout down, to improve the shape of the horse's head
let's fix the shape of the ears
we sew the beads for the eyes
and now let's see how to make the mane
cut some pieces of yarn, the color of the mane
we do not need a precise length, because then we cut them
as long as we are long enough to bend them in half
and hook them like a fringe
we take a thread, we fold it in half
and place it in the middle of the head
starting from the stitch that we prefer
we enter the stitch with the crochet in this way
we hook the thread
and let the threads pass through the loop
and we pull the threads well
in the same way we do a whole row of fringes
in this way, 1 fringe for each crochet work,
from where to where we want
we tighten all the nodes well
to make sure they do not come loose
we can put some nail polish on every knot
we wait for it to dry
we comb the mane with the needle
we are very careful not to ruin the body with the needle
when you like the result,
you can cut the mane to the length you prefer
this is the result
the donkey is ready!
for today the tutorial ends here
I really hope you like this little donkey
I think that together with the ox will make an excellent figure in our Christmas Nativity
