CARROT

Send

Even the most inexperienced craftswomen can create such an original decoration on a Christmas tree with their own hands. This will require the remnants of yarn in two colors and knitting needles No. 3 or even slightly thinner.
It is better, of course, to take yarn of orange and green shades. But not fundamentally. This is a Christmas tree decoration - it can be what you want.
1. For knitted carrots, which is shown in the photos of the master class, you need to dial 32 loops. But, if you want to make the toy bigger or smaller - type more or less number of loops. The main thing is that their number be a multiple of 2.

2. Knit needing hosiery. And in each odd row, starting from the fifth, reduce one loop from each edge. That is, in these rows it is necessary to knit together the first and second, as well as the penultimate and last stitches.

3. Now you need to connect the "tops". This is done with a thin hook No. 2. A column is knitted with air loops. The number of loops in this column can vary from 10 to 20. If you want, you can make all the leaves the same in length. Do not want - different. Volume is attached by strapping the air column with a "crustacean step", over the edge of each of its loops.

4. Connect the "carrots" and "tops". We lay decorative elements along the edge of the knitted fabric so that each of them disappears no less than a centimeter when the toy carrot is twisted. Sew in a hidden seam - so that it is imperceptible from the front side.

5. We twist the decorative carrots and make a vertical blind seam. We also strengthen the top - randomly sew the “tops” with the “carrots” and between each other.
