It is better, of course, to take yarn in orange and green shades. But not important. This is a New Year's tree decoration - it can be whatever you want.
1. For the knitted carrot, which is shown in the photographs of the master class, you need to cast on 32 loops. But, if you want to make a larger or smaller toy, cast on more or fewer loops. The main thing is that their number is a multiple of 2.
2. You need to knit in stockinette stitch. And in each odd row, starting from the fifth, decrease one loop from each edge. That is, in these rows you need to knit the first and second stitches together, as well as the penultimate and last loops.
3. Now you need to tie 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 length. If you don't want to, we'll be different. Volume is given by tying the air column in a “crawfish step”, over the edge of each of its loops.
4.We connect “carrots” and “tops”. We lay out decorative elements along the edge of the knitted fabric so that each of them disappears when the toy carrot is subsequently twisted no less than a centimeter. We sew it with a hidden seam so that it is not noticeable from the front side.
5. Twist the decorative carrot and make a vertical blind seam. We also strengthen the top - randomly sew the “tops” with the “carrots” and with each other.
6. Make a loop for hanging the toy on the spruce paws. We crochet a column of the required length from air loops. We secure it with a loop in the tops.
