Instructions
Step 1
Any mother with elementary skills in sewing and knitting can make a finger theater. The only thing you need to be able to crochet finger theater: make the first loop, knit a chain of air loops and single crochet. In every home there is a great variety of small balls of yarn that are suitable for creating toys. In principle, any yarn of medium thickness will do. It is better to pick up the threads all at once. This will save you a lot of time.
Step 2
Together with the child (if, of course, he can already do this), choose a fairy tale that you will stage. Find the yarn and crochet you need. You can start creating toys.
Step 3
Make a chain of four chain stitches. Close in a circle. In the next row, evenly increase the number of loops to 15, knit in single crochet the required size (about six rows). Next, evenly reduce the number of stitches to twelve. Thus, the head turned out. For the torso, knit about nine more rows.
Step 4
Lightly fill the head with padding polyester or cotton wool, pull the neck with thread.
Tie your arms and legs to your torso. Knit all the details (except, perhaps, the ears) in a circle about six columns wide, and two or four rows high. Small details such as hair can be made from ribbons or yarn pieces.
Step 5
Embroider the face of the toy. Make a cute, smiling face so that the toy does not scare your baby. Sew the eyes with French knots. To do this, insert the needle into the canvas in the place where the eye will be located. Make a few turns with the thread around the needle and tighten, holding the threads with your finger. Fasten the resulting knot and bring the needle to the location of the second eye. Sew the second eye in the same way.
Step 6
Dad can also take part in the process of creating a theater. Assign him to make decorations for the future performance. They can be made from wood or cardboard and then painted.
