Crochet Modeling - Labrador Retriever
Chrochet Modeling means something like modeling while crocheting.
Unlike amigurumi, where simple geometric shapes are crocheted and sewn together to create a doll-like figure, Chrochet Modeling allows you to crochet very realistic figures.
Chrochet Modeling takes a little more time than crocheting amigurumi, but the result speaks for itself.
Basic crochet skills and knowledge of the various stitch types are required.
By deliberately using single crochets, balancing stitches, increases, decreases, chain stitches, short rows, relief stitches, relief increases and decreases, and of course yarn colors, you can shape fairly realistic faces and bodies. This makes it possible, for example, to recreate your beloved pet. This was also the basis for developing this technique.
In this pattern, I show how impressive results can be achieved with this technique using the example of a Labrador Retriever.
The pattern is very detailed and comprehensive. Across 59 pages, I show and explain step by step (172 photos illustrate the modeling) how Chrochet Modeling works. I have made an effort to write this pattern in such detail that even beginners with basic skills can follow it.
Required basic skills:
single crochets … slip stitches … chain stitches … doubling stitches, turning chains, magic ring - (shown and explained at the end of the pattern) invisible stitch decrease - (shown and explained at the end of the pattern) spiral rounds, front post stitches & increases (shown and explained at the end of the pattern)
Materials and supplies: approx. 550 g black yarn, a small amount of gray and white, approx. 1 kg stuffing, some red (pink) felt for the tongue, some glue, 8-10 stitch markers (MM), safety eyes - 18 mm safety nose, yarn needle
