For manufacturing, take:
- 700 g of fluffy brown or sandy yarn;
- 50 g of pink thread;
- 100 g of light brown and beige yarn;
- mesh;
- cardboard;
- hook.
The finished size of the rug is 60x75 cm. For the base, you can take a building mesh or buy a similar one in a fabric store.
The following diagrams show in detail how to crochet an ear, upper and lower paw.
To create a head, you need to knit a circle with a diameter of 20 cm from light yarn. For the muzzle, we knit a small circle of dark threads, sew it on.
Cut out an oval from the mesh, you need to tie pom-poms to it, passing the threads through the cells. Tie their ends on the reverse side, cut off the excess.
If you do not have a mesh for the base, then use a thick fabric: denim, drape or felt. Cut an oval out of it, sew pom-poms.
How to decorate a hat with a pompom?
Nowadays, hats decorated in this way are very fashionable.
To make a fur pom-pom, you will need:
- fur;
- scissors;
- synthetic winterizer;
- ribbon;
- cardboard;
- needle with thread;
- pencil.
Draw a circle on cardboard, cut out. Attach it to the flesh, outline it, cut it out. Sew with a basting along the edge of the fur circle.
Take a piece of padding polyester, tie it in the middle with a ribbon. This is for those who make the pom-pom detachable to tie it on. If you will sew to the cap when the tape is not needed. Put a synthetic winterizer inside the circle, connect the thread, and sew the remaining hole with it.
To avoid damaging the fur when cutting, use a razor blade or sharp knife. Then you will cut only the flesh, and the fur will remain intact. That's it, you can sew on or tie a pom-pom to a hat and put on a beautiful headdress.
If you want to be original, then sew pom-poms on the hat around the perimeter. In front, they can be placed in two rows, on the back of the head, sew several in a circle next to each other.
If you want to make pom-poms in the form of berries and fruits, then see how to make them.
For such, you should have at hand:
- threads of different colors;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- hook;
- gypsy needle.
- Let's start with strawberries. Draw a horseshoe on cardboard, you will need two such blanks. Align these two elements, place the green thread between them.
- Wrap a red thread tightly in the middle, and make turns of white on the right and left. We fasten the ends of the yarn with a hook, making a couple of turns.
- Then again close the top of the blank with red yarn, then white. Make this layer one more time.
- You have shaped the white-pitched strawberry pulp. If you want them to look natural, use black thread.
- Wind green yarn on the left, which will become a strawberry tail.
- Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut the threads along the upper outside of the horseshoe. Gently pull the green thread, while removing the blank from the cardboard, tie it in a knot.
- Now with scissors we need to give our berry its characteristic shape.
A berry as large as a watermelon can also be made in the form of pompons.
- Between two parts of the same cardboard blank, you need to stretch a green thread. Now we wind the bright pink yarn from above in the middle. It will be the flesh of a watermelon. Several turns of black thread will become his seeds.
- To make a green crust, wrap a thread of this color over it. Make a layer between it and the pulp using white yarn.
- Wrap the hot pink thread over the top again. Just as in the first case, pull on the green thread. While holding, cut all layers of yarn at the top. Tighten the base thread, giving the workpiece a round shape. If necessary, cut off excess with scissors.
Here's what happens.
In the same technique, you can make kiwi from threads.
Place the brown thread between the two skeins. Wrap white across the top. For dark stripes, create them with black yarn. Then there are light green threads, brown ones complete the layer. After cutting the threads on top of the horseshoe, pull on the previously laid one, tie it. You just need to remove the pom-pom from the workpiece, give it the desired shape with scissors.
Wrap a white thread on the same blank. Then, on both sides of the center, yellow. Cover it all with white thread, wind yellow in the middle. Next comes a layer of white yarn, on which you need to wind the yellow one.
It remains to cut through the turns from above, remove the cardboard template, give the workpiece the shape of an orange with scissors.
