So let's start...with Hello Kitty's head. We knit it, starting from the top of the head, according to the pattern, in a circle. We start each circular row with a VP (cable loop) lift and end with a SS (connecting post). The chain of air loops is the 0th row, we do not count it. The 1st row is the first row of sc (single crochet).

The finished, unfilled head piece looks like this. Don't be confused by some of the unevenness of this part - we made the increases in a spiral, when we fill it, it will take the correct shape of Hello Kitty's head.

We knit all other parts, with the exception of the legs, starting with the amigurumi ring. We wrap the thread around the index finger twice, remove the resulting ring from the finger and knit the first 6 sc into it.

Then we pull the short end of the thread and tighten the sc into a tight ring. Thanks to this method of starting knitting, we will not have a hole.

We knit the ears and tail, starting with this ring according to the pattern.

We start knitting the legs from the sole with red thread. We knit the 4th row with a sc, inserting the hook not into the braid of the previous row, but behind the sc itself, inserting the hook from the wrong side. This way, the braid that we didn't knit into will be on the outside, helping the shoe take shape.

We knit the 5th row in the usual way, and the 6th row in the same way as the 4th.
Starting from the 7th row, we knit the last three rows with a white thread. These are the details of the legs you should get.

We begin to knit the arms with 6 sc into an amigurumi ring with white thread. In the 6th row we introduce a red thread and continue to knit according to the pattern until the 12th row. Here we leave the knitting unfinished and proceed to tying the sleeve frill. We tie this part to the 7th row of the handle part (the second row with a red thread). The number of sc in the first row should be 15. The same number as in the 7th row of the handle parts. To do this, bend the part so that the 7th row becomes the fold line.

Then we start knitting the body. Using a white thread we knit 10 rows of sc according to the pattern, making increases. In the 11th row we introduce a red thread. It is more convenient to immediately make a VP on a thread of a new color and insert it with a connecting column at the very end of the 10th row.

We continue knitting in a circle with a red thread, making decreases according to the pattern. It should look like this.

Now let's start knitting the skirt. This is important! We tie the skirt to the 12th row (this is the second red row), it is in this row that the number of sc is 42. To do this, we bend the body part so that the 12th row becomes the fold line. We begin to attach the skirt detail to this row.

We continue knitting in the round, making even increases according to the pattern.

So, we have all the details ready. Let's start filling and stitching.

Let's start again with the head. When filling it, we shape it with our hands, slightly flattening and pressing on top so that it takes the shape of Hello Kitty's head, and not a ball.

Now we sew on the ears. We don't fill our ears. We try to place them so that already at this stage the shape of Hello Kitty’s head can be guessed. The top of the head can serve as a guide here - the beginning of knitting the head. Ears begin to grow right along the edges of it.

Then we fill the body and sew the head to it. We fill the legs and sew them from below to the body. Now that the legs are sewn, it will be easy for us to center the tail and place it in its rightful place.

The handles can simply be tightly sewn to the sides, or you can sew them using a hinge so that they move, spin...
We start by taking a double thread to match and tying a knot at the tip. We pass the thread through the handles so that the knot is on the side that will be adjacent to the body.
Now we thread the thread back through the body.

We thread the second handle with the same thread, continuing the maneuver. We, as it were, string our parts onto a thread - handle + body + handle.

Let's start finishing the muzzle. For the nose, I took hook No. 1, yellow floss threads in two layers and knitted it as follows:
0th row: 3VP + 1VP lifting, then we knit in a circle.
1st row: in the first two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 3СБН, in the next two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 2СБН, we finish the SS row.
2nd row: VP lifting, 2SC in the first loop, 1SC in the next loop, 2SC in the next three loops, then 1SC and in the last two loops 2SC, finishing the SS row.
Sew the nose to the muzzle.

It’s just that the sewn-on nose looks a little like a snout...because of its prominence or something...so I suggest putting satin stitches on top of it. If you want it not to be voluminous, you can embroider quite a bit. I like it to be more voluminous, so I make more stitches. At the end of the embroidery, I do not pass the stitches under the spout, but only over it, making small stitches on the sides. This results in smoother edges.

The eyes are knitted exactly the same as the nose. I used a thin woolen thread, so I didn’t embroider with satin stitch on top...and the eyes didn’t need extra volume.
Advice. To correctly position the eyes and nose, you can first sketch out their location on paper and, when you are satisfied with the final version, i.e. you will see that Hello Kitty is looking at you, you can sew on the eyes and nose, correlating their location with the pattern.
After this, we embroider the antennae with wide stitches. One tendril - one stitch.
Decorate Hello Kitty's dress and head with roses.

(from the English “Hello, pussy”) - a Japanese pop culture character, a small white cat in a simplified drawing - was invented by Sanrio in 1974, and 2 years later the trademark of the same name was registered.

Kitty was invented in 1974 by Shintaro Tsuji, owner of the Japanese toy company Sanrio. One day he decided to come up with a new character that everyone would like. As a result of long work (Tsuji thought for a long time, drew different options, checking the reaction of customers), the ideal hero appeared. Today, the Hello Kitty brand generates about half a million dollars in revenue annually.
At first there were also doubts about the cat's name. Its creator tossed between versions of “Hello Kitty” and “Kitty White” - that was the name of one of Alice’s cats from the book “Alice in Wonderland.” But the latter option was ultimately rejected.
The first product to gain immense popularity among customers was a simple wallet with the image of Kitty. Before this, postcards and other similar little things with her image were issued, but they were not so successful.
Kitty's popularity grew steadily, but in the late eighties it peaked and sales began to slowly decline. Buyers did not like that Kitty was always the same and seemed to be lifeless. She was depicted in one pose - her muzzle looks at the viewer, and her body is turned sideways, she was dressed in a blue jumpsuit, and a thick black outline was drawn around the figure. Then the designer of the Sanrio company, Yuko Yamaguchi, decided to change this boring image. Now the black outline has been removed and Kitty appears in different clothes and with different objects in her paws.
A little later, it was decided to expand the scope of the brand’s influence to older people. In 1987, a number of white cat images were created to suit the tastes of older buyers.
Kitty also has a family - dad, mom, grandparents and sister Mimmi, who has a bow on her left ear, so as not to be confused with Kitty - and a hamster, Sugar.
There are now a huge variety of Kitty products coming out, from T-shirts and soft toys to toasters that bake toast with her image on them and machine guns.
based on materials from Wikipedia

Surprisingly, among such an assortment of products with the image of Kitty, I have never seen Kitty in the form of a soft toy.
I propose to fill this deficiency :-)

To crochet Kitty, we will need:

White and red yarn (you can use cotton or acrylic);
- remnants of thinner yarn in pink, orange, yellow and green colors - for roses;
- hook No. 3;
- filler (sintepon is best);
- cardboard circles or coins in the legs for stability;
- black and yellow felt for the eyes and nose.

Knitting description:

Description of knitting from the Japanese magazine "Knit Dolls og Goods No. 3. Hello Kitty" (to enlarge, click on the picture):

A very detailed and understandable master class on knitting such a Kitty cat was prepared by a craftswoman under the nickname Socket. Her real name is Larisa and she is a very talented knitter, as well as a very responsive and pleasant person to talk to.
By the way, on her blog there are also master classes on making Kitty a butterfly and Kitty in a dress with beads. Therefore, I highly recommend visiting her :-)

I also recommend taking a look at the topic “Kitty, knitting together” on the Technomagic website, where, in the company of many needlewomen, you can knit Kitty to your taste and color, and also get a lot of useful tips on assembling, stuffing and designing the face.

Knitted toys from Demeter

I decided to knit a toy for my daughter using the Amigurumi technique; she had been asking me for a Hello Kitty doll for a long time. But I ran into a problem: the diagrams on the Internet are all the same, but for some reason, even for me, as a no longer a beginner, they are too confusing. Without a clear description, it was difficult to knit the toy, although after I knitted a couple of parts, I already understood the essence. So I decided to describe the process in more detail, so that even not very experienced mothers could please their children with their favorite toy.

Head

It is easiest to start knitting from the head, since its pattern is an example for all other parts.

Knitting pattern for this Amigurumi toy

We will start by casting on 10 air loops, from which we will continue knitting.

V. p. - 2 tbsp. b. n. in one loop - 8 tbsp. b n. - 3 times 2 tbsp. b n. in one loop - again 8 tbsp. b n. - 2 times 2 tbsp. b n. in one loop - close the row with a connecting loop.

We add up to the 8th row, then we knit according to the pattern up to the 15th row without adding.

Ears

We knit ears. We will start them and all other details by crocheting such an amigurumi ring: we will wind the thread around the finger 2 times and knit 6 loops.

Then we pull the outer thread and get a ring of loops without a hole inside.

Let's knit 2 ears according to the pattern.

Tail

The tail is also easy to knit. First we close the amigurumi ring, then in the second row we knit everything 2 tbsp. without a crochet. And 3 more rows without decreases or increases.

Hind legs

We knit the hind legs, they are also legs. According to the pattern, we knit up to the 6th row with pink yarn, then with white yarn. We knit the 4th and 6th rows not by the braid, but by the column itself.

This will create a pattern on the paws. Both left and right are exactly the same.

Torso

Let's start with the body. We knit it according to the pattern up to the 10th row with white thread, and then change it to pink.

First the body itself is knitted, and then we will tie the skirt.

The skirt is tied to the 12th row of the body, that is, to the second pink row. We touch the knitting to the posts. We knit a skirt using pink yarn according to the pattern. Then, if desired, you can finish the frill with white.

We knit the front legs, that is, the arms of our Hello Kitty, like this. We knit up to the 10th row according to the pattern, leave a little thread for the end of the foot (about 50 cm) and break it off. To the 2nd pink row we tie 2 rows of sleeve frills according to the pattern.

Then fill the pen with a pencil. Stuff tightly, sparing no filler.

After which you can knit the remaining rows.

Now we have all the parts of the Hello Kitty doll ready.

Assembling the toy

We fill everything in order. First the head.

How you stuff it will determine its shape, so try to make it as close to Hello Kitty as possible. To do this, fill more sides than length.

Then we will sew on the ears that do not need to be stuffed.

Make sure that they are on the same level; to do this, first attach them and mark the places where to sew.

We stuff the body and sew it to the head.

We also sew on the stuffed legs (hind legs), bringing the needle for the tail through the body.

Then thread the thread again and stick the body and the second leg onto it. Do this several times.

It is better to bring the thread down under the dress, secure it with a knot and hide it with a hook.

Master class from Larisa (Rozetka).
This is a “translation” of the diagrams with some explanations. Because You can’t do detailed explanations on one piece of paper, but there are enough details here - it was decided to make a small master class on how to knit and assemble Hello Kitty.

Then we pull the short end of the thread and tighten the sc into a tight ring. Thanks to this method of starting knitting, we will not have a hole. We knit the ears and tail, starting with this ring according to the pattern.

After the sleeve frill detail is completed, fill the detail with padding poly. This is where an ordinary pencil may come in handy.
When the part is filled, we finish it with the last two rows according to the pattern. Then we start knitting the body. Using a white thread we knit 10 rows of sc according to the pattern, making increases. In the 11th row we introduce a red thread. It is more convenient to immediately make a VP on a thread of a new color and insert it with a connecting column at the very end of the 10th row.

We continue knitting in the circle with a red thread, making decreases according to the pattern. It should look like this.

So, we have all the details ready. Let's start filling and stitching.

Let's start again with the head. When filling it, we shape it with our hands, slightly flattening and pressing it on top so that it takes the shape of Hello Kitty's head, and not a ball.

We thread the second handle with the same thread, continuing the maneuver. We, as it were, string our parts onto a thread - handle + body + handle.

Now we thread the thread back through all three parts. We repeat this procedure a couple more times, slightly pulling the parts together. We bring the thread under the skirt, where we cut the thread from the needle, tie a knot and use a hook to hide the knot inside. Let's start finishing the muzzle. The eyes and nose, of course, can be cut out and glued or sewn on from felt, but I couldn’t find one. Therefore, for the nose, I took hook No. 1, yellow floss threads in two layers and knitted it as follows:
0th row: 3VP + 1VP lifting, then we knit in a circle.
1st row: in the first two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 3СБН, in the next two VPs, 1СБН each, in the third VP – 2СБН, we finish the SS row.
2nd row: VP lifting, 2SC in the first loop, 1SC in the next loop, 2SC in the next three loops, then 1SC and in the last two loops 2SC, finishing the SS row.
Sew the nose to the muzzle.

I suggest not stopping at the decoration with roses
The dress can be knitted in a different color and with a completely different trim. In general, there is plenty of space for your imagination to fly. My Hello Kitty, for example, now has a friend like this.
