A knitted rooster will appeal not only to children, but also to adults, becoming a cozy addition to the interior. An interesting and simple description will help with this.

Rooster with a colorful tail

A bright cockerel with a scarlet comb and bright yellow paws will bring harmony and joy.

When working on a knitted rooster, keep in mind that the diagram and description are indicated with possible increases and decreases. One cell in the diagram corresponds to one loop.

Rooster body

The right side starts from the center of the back. Cast on 20 stitches with purple thread and knit in regular stockinette stitch.

The second part of the body is symmetrical

For the front part, cast on 4 loops with purple thread and knit in satin stitch. In each 2nd and 4th row, add 2 loops (1 on both sides). Then in every fourth row, 1 stitch four times. Make a mark here on each edge. On the 69th row, cast off 1 loop on both sides. In the next 4, 6 rows, 1 loop nine times. Cast off the last four stitches.

rooster head

Use purple thread. First of all, cast on 48 loops, dividing them onto 4 knitting needles. In row 45, decrease 4 stitches. Then, in every second row, remove 4 more. Repeat this six times. Pull off the remaining loops.

Neck plumage

Use scarlet thread. Make 48 loops. Divide them also into four knitting needles. Knit in stockinette stitch. Add 8 loops in rows 4, 6, 8. After 10 rows, divide 72 loops by 9. You will get 8 feather parts, each of which must be knitted separately. In every fourth row, close one loop. Do this twice. 2 more rows once, 1 stitch each. The remaining 3 knit two rows, complete.

Rooster head plumage

We move from the top. Cast on 8 loops with dark yellow thread. Next, knit in satin stitch. In each 2nd row, increase 1 loop twice on each side. There should be 12 loops. In the eighth and tenth rows, decrease one stitch on both sides. The remainder should be eight loops. In the next fourth row, add one stitch at a time. In every second - one loop five times.

After 23 rows, make a rounding using shortened rows. In the direction from the right edge, knit 17 facial loops, fold, make one yarn over and 14 purl stitches. Mark. Roll - 1 yarn over. Knit facial loops before it. Yarn over and loop together with knit stitches. Roll up. One yarn over again, purl until the yarn over. Yarn over Knit the next loop together, purl crossed. From the mark, repeat 2 times. Cast on 20 loops on one side and knit in the round. In the fifth and tenth rows, add 8 stitches. The result should be 56 loops.

After 14 rows, divide again into several identical elements of 7 loops. Rooster feathers are knitted separately by knitting 1 stitch in each 4th row. Do this twice. Knit the remaining 3 stitches a couple more rows, then complete.

Beak

Top:

Cast on 14 stitches with yellow thread. In the 7th row, close 1 loop once on both sides, then in each 5th row, one more. Complete remaining 2 stitches. Embroider the nostrils with black thread - a couple of loop stitches.

Next, along the small left edge in the column of each of the 3 rows, knit 1 single crochet. From the mark, duplicate this four more times. Add each of the four scallops on 5 loops.

Earrings

Knit twice. Use a purple thread to tie a chain of 7 chain stitches, one more for lifting. Knit 5 rows of single crochets. In the 2nd row add 1 loop, and in the 4th row remove it.

Tail

Use threads of different shades. The element is knitted twice. To begin, make a chain of 34 chain loops and one more for lifting. Knit five rows in a single crochet column in this manner. Place the first row behind the last one and connect them with a stitch.

rooster paws

Knitting occurs in the transverse direction. Using a yellow thread, make a chain of 12 chain stitches and one more for lifting. Knit 3 rows with a single crochet. From the mark on the fourth row, knit 6 stitches. Next, knit a chain of 6 air loops and 1 for lifting. Repeat this way for 3 rows, do not double crochet. From the mark, repeat four more times. The paw element is folded and tied along the contour using connecting posts.

Eyes

Knitted with scarlet thread. The chain of six air loops is complemented by one more for lifting. Tied with 6 columns without a cape. Roll up and on the reverse side tie a chain of 7 stitches without a cape. When making rooster eyes with knitting needles, you can follow the description, but you can also install ready-made eyes made of plastic.

Collecting a rooster

First, the front element is sewn together with the side ones. The body and head of the bird are stuffed and sewn to the hole in the neck area. The head feathers are sewn on at the top edges. The feathers of the neck region are sewn directly below the feathers of the head.

Both beak elements are overlapped and stitched together, and then sewn to the head. The comb and earrings are also attached there.

The work on the knitted rooster is completed with knitting needles, stuffing the legs, sewing them and the tail feathers.

The beginning of a new year always marks the beginning of a new life, bright, rich and fruitful. According to the Chinese horoscope, the symbol of 2017 is the Rooster. The harmonious combination of colors in his appearance symbolizes a surge of energy, vitality, and beauty. The main color of the coming year is red, which has always been personified with passion, wealth, victory and love.

In order to bring all these positive aspects into the coming new year, you need to decorate your home with the symbol of 2017. Needlewomen have a great opportunity to create a cute souvenir with their own hands by knitting a cockerel using knitting needles. In addition, a knitted symbol of the year is a good idea for a gift to family and friends. This article will tell you how to knit a New Year's Rooster on knitting needles.

The finished model will look like this:

Even novice needlewomen can knit such an unusual souvenir, since making the toy does not take much time and is quite simple. So, we will need:

• Yarn in red, white and orange;
• Knitting needles in sizes 3.25 mm and 2.5 mm;
• Filler (sintepon, holofiber);
• Black beads for eyes (or black yarn);
• Hook;
• Sewing needle.

Cockerel height = 11 cm.

It is worth noting that the fashion for cute knitted items, albeit created using a crochet hook, came from Japan. In the land of the rising sun this art was called amigurumi. The size of knitted toys traditionally ranges from 5 to 10 cm. In Russia, such needlework not only took root, but also began to develop; knitting needles began to be widely used to create toys.

Let's start knitting the rooster's body

Cast on 7 loops for the base.

We knit the 1st row and all odd rows up to the 9th inclusive;

2 rows: k1, ^1 loop added from the broach, knit 1, then repeat from ^ to the end of the row. There are 13 loops on the knitting needles;

4 rows: repeat the 2nd row, on the knitting needles - 25 loops;

6 r.: 1 knit, ^1 loop added from the broach, 2 knit, then repeat from ^ 4 times, 2 knit, repeat from ^ 2 more times, 1 knit, then repeat again from ^ 4 times. There are already 35 loops in total;

9 r.: purl;

Rows 10-23: stockinette stitch;

24 r.: 1 knit, then a complex (2 knits together, 2 knits), this complex needs to be knitted 4 times, then 2 knits, 2 times a complex, 2 knits, knit a complex 4 more times. In total, there are again 35 loops on the knitting needles;

Rows 25 and 27: purl loops;

26 r.: 1 knit, then decrease (2 knits together, 1 knit), knit a decrease 4 times, then 2 knits, knit a decrease 2 more times, 2 knits, 4 more repetitions of a decrease. There are a total of 25 loops on the knitting needles;

We knit rows 29-41 with stitch stitch (odd 29th too);

Row 42: K1, dec 2 stitches together until the end of the row. There are 9 loops left on the knitting needles.

We pull the thread through these 9 loops, for convenience you can use a hook, pull the loops tightly together, and fasten. We match the seams, but sew together about 2/3 of the toy; the remaining hole will be needed for stuffing the rooster’s body. After the contours of the toy are formed, it is necessary to sew up the seam well.

We knit the wings of a cockerel

First wing: cast on 11 stitches.

In the first row of them we close off 6 loops, knit 4 stitches;

2 rows: purl 5 stitches, then knit 5 stitches on the knitting needles, turn the product over;

3 r.: close 5 loops, then knit 4 knits;

4 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knitting needles, turn the wing over;

5 p.: close 4 more loops, then knit 4 knits;

6 p.: the same as the 4th;

Then loosely close the loops.

Second wing: cast on 9 stitches.

1st row: close 4 loops, knit 4 stitches;

2 rows: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knits again, turn the product over;

3 rubles: the same as the 1st;

4 rows: purl 5 stitches, cast on 5 knitting needles, unfold the wing again;

5 p.: close 5 loops, knit 4 more knits;

6 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 6 knit stitches, then turn the wing over;

Close the loops loosely.

After this, we attach the wings to the body of the rooster.

Scallop: we put 7 loops on the knitting needles with red yarn, knit 1 row. In the next row you need to cast on 2 loops and cast off 4, after which we slip 1 loop onto the left needle from the right one. Repeat until all loops are completely closed, starting with a set of 2 loops.

Sew the comb to the cockerel.

For the beak, you will need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn, and purl the 1st row.

Row 2: k2, decrease k2 together, k2 again;

Row 3: Dec 2 stitches together, purl 1. knit, then decrease 2 loops again;

4 r.: 3 loops together purl. Now you need to sew the edges of the beak, but do not stuff it, but sew it in this form to the head of the toy.

Let's start knitting the beard (we will knit 2 parts). Cast on 5 loops with red yarn. In the first row, knit 3 loops and unfold the product. In the second row, purl 3 loops and unfold the product. Close off the stitches with knit stitches. Sew both parts of the beard under the rooster's beak.

In order to knit a leg (you will need to make 2 pieces), you need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn on the knitting needles. Knit the first row and everything up to the 11th row.

Row 11: continue the knit row, at the end we cast on 4 more stitches, unfold the product;

12 r.: close off 5 loops, knit 3 stitches with them, again put 4 loops on the knitting needle, turn the product over;

13 r.: close 6 stitches with knit stitches, slip 1 loop from right to left, then cast on 4 loops. We close the loops.

The rooster's leg must be sewn down to the paw, the threads must be secured well and hidden. Then sew the finished parts to the body of the cockerel. If there is a wire, you can add to the product, then the legs of the toy will bend.

It remains to knit the last detail - the feathers. They are knitted from white yarn. We cast on 15 loops. Then comes the motif - we close 12 loops, knit 2 knit stitches (3 loops remain on the knitting needle), in the second row we knit these loops purl and turn the product over, in the 3rd row we again cast on 12 loops, turn the product. We knit this motif until we get a large number of feathers (6-7). Then we close all the loops, bend the resulting part and sew it to the rooster.

We decorate the toy’s head with eyes: sew on beads or make 2 longitudinal stitches with black thread.
