Children's knitted watch

When the baby or baby grows up, they already know that the watch sounds "tick-tock." Buying a watch for a baby in our time will not be difficult, but where is the guarantee that they are safe, moreover, a child can break them immediately on the first day. I propose to make a watch on your own, namely to crochet it. Yes, they don’t have a mechanism, but does the child need it? This is an excellent decoration for the child’s handle, he will be able to see it when he is in the stroller, will tell and show to all friends and relatives.
To make a watch bracelet, I use thin yarn, 100% cotton of 7 different colors, because we need bright unusual watches. In addition, for the manufacture of the dial I use white yarn, red beads. You can take beads of any color if only it stands out against the background. And, of course, the hook is better finer than 0.9 mm. First you need to tie the watch case. To do this, take red yarn and dial 2 VP. In the second loop, tie 6 RLS (single crochet), then without a connecting loop and without lifting loops, continue knitting in a circular pattern. In the second row, tie 12 RLS, in the third - 18 RLS, in the fourth - 24 RLS. Only at the end of this row is the connecting column to make the circle complete.
The next step is to make the dial. But since the numbers are planned to be made from beads, it is first necessary to put 12 beads on the thread. With white yarn, dial 5 VP, lock the chain in the ring. In the ring, dial 12 CCH (double crochet). Here it is necessary to knit 3 VP at the beginning of the row, and they are considered as 1 CCH, and at the end of the row is a connecting column. The next row is connected with the RLS by linking 2 RLS from each previous row. The 3rd row is the most difficult of all the knitting rows of watches. Knitting will be done with beads. In order to evenly arrange the beads, it is necessary to knit 1 RLS with beads, 1 - without beads. After tying 1 RLS, it is necessary to pull the bead to the base of the thread, place it in front of the knitting, enter the hook behind the beads and tie the RLS. The beads will be in the middle of knitting. Continue this way to the end of the row. 4th row knit RLS, making addition through 1 row.
Finally, embroider the minute and hour hands with a black thread and a needle. The dial is finished. It must later be sewn into the watch case. Now you need to make a bracelet for watches. To do this, fasten the thread in the marked place for the watch case and dial a chain of VP, previously determining what size of the strap is needed.
Attach the next shade of yarn and knit a row of sc. Thus, knit 5 rows of strap on both sides of the case. Below the dial, you need to place a regular strap without a clasp, and in the upper part you need to tie a loop of 10 VP, tie it with a RLS to make a loop for attaching the strap.
The work is almost done. It remains only to make a separate eyelet to secure the child to his hand. Collect 15 VPs, lock them into a ring, tie a RLS ring with another yarn.
Put the ring on top of the strap. Now you can put on your watch and go for a walk. Such a peculiar educational toy will help you learn colors faster and learn how to determine the time.
