Toys on a plastic ring

One of the most interesting options is products made with thick yarn on a special frame. The tool is filled with single crochet elements; essentially the same process occurs when a circle is knitted using chain stitches.

All diagrams and descriptions, as well as master classes, can be found on the Internet or in the photo below. It is easier for children to work with this tool, since, unlike air loops, it is convenient to take it in the hand and carefully work it.

The frame can be purchased at any specialized sewing store or craft shop. You can use a curtain clip, remove the ring from the neck of a plastic bottle, or cut off the top rim of a disposable glass.

It must be said that they can be knitted without using a circle, then the product needs to be starched so that it does not lose its shape.

All kinds of materials are suitable as designs for DIY Christmas tree decorations: ribbons of different colors and sizes, beads, sequins, miniature figurines, stripes, buttons, clippings, thin laces and more. The original decor will be an applique, the manufacturing technology of which is discussed below.

Many complex products consist of simple geometric shapes, and the ability to break a composite shape into balls, cylinders, cones, planes, etc. will help you draw a diagram for even the most intricate silhouettes quickly and easily.

How to knit Christmas tree decorations with knitting needles

Now we get to the classics. Knitted Christmas tree decorations using knitting needles are completely old ideas - balls. But you can’t miss them, because they are so fabulously beautiful!

Simple balls with knitting needles

Christmas balls can be knitted with knitting needles or regular simple knitted melange or sectionally dyed yarn, decorated with polka dots and bows.

We knit the balls using the following pattern.

You need to knit on 5 needles.

We cast on three loops on each knitting needle, in every second row we make increases at the beginning and at the end of the repeat.

Decrements are also made in every second row.

Christmas balls with jacquard pattern

And of course, the balls knitted with Norwegian and other jacquard patterns look especially beautiful; here the work is more painstaking and difficult, but what a result!

striped ball

Another interesting and completely simple option for knitting a striped ball.

In the photo there is a ball. (Source) But you can knit Christmas tree decorations in the same way.

We knit a small parallelogram in garter stitch.

In every second row, add one loop at the beginning of the row and decrease a loop at the end of the row. At the same time we change the color of the thread.

Sew together the two narrow sides. We tighten and sew the bottom, stuff it with any filling, and sew the top. You can also tie a tassel at the bottom.

Star on the Christmas tree

An amazingly beautiful star, you just can’t take your eyes off her! There is also a wonderful decoration for the New Year tree and a description of knitting in the photographs.

With knitted Christmas tree decorations we will have gorgeous Christmas trees! Let's start implementing it?

Christmas tree decor on a round basis

The shape of knitted Christmas toys does not have to have a hole in the middle. Another way to make figurines is based on a flat circle. The frame is filled with colored threads, alternating double crochet and single crochet in four stitches.

The first ones fill the craft in height, the second ones are located around the perimeter of the center of the scallop. Using this algorithm, beautiful openwork balls are made.

Each layer of lace can be complemented with rhinestones and ribbons or combined different colors, so the finished work will look even more attractive. Next, the blank is decorated with a patch in the form of the symbol of the year.

Works in the shape of a circle can be designed by knitting around the circumference with multi-colored threads, the first layer is blue, the second is green, the third is white, and on the fourth, draw rays from the edges to the middle.

Do-it-yourself voluminous toys

Handmade knitted voluminous toys will complement any interior. They can easily decorate a Christmas tree. The most popular ideas for such products are as follows:

Symbol of the year.
Angels.
Snowflakes.
Various balls.
Snowmen.
Deer
Christmas trees.
Various animals.
Santa Clauses.
New Year gifts.

Making a knitted New Year's toy yourself is quite simple if you follow step-by-step recommendations and diagrams. The most important thing is to strictly follow the sequence of actions.

Knitted Christmas balls

To knit a ball with your own hands from yarn, in each circular stage you should increase the number of columns. The result will be not just an even circle, but a hemisphere. Having reached the diameter, you should begin to reduce the circular layers. The blanks can be filled with padding polyester and decorated with embroidery or appliqué.

Another good Christmas decoration option is a bell. Such a gift will especially complement the holiday atmosphere. To do this, you need to start knitting the base in the same way as you knit a sphere.

Next, adding columns on several rows, the elongated part of the bell is made. The final stage - the bell bell - is a layer in which one additional loop is added every two loops. You can decorate the bell with beaded details and sequins.

In the last loop, knit 2 single crochets.
Row 6: 1 chain lifting loop. Turn the toy over. In the very first loop of the base, make the same 2 single crochets. Then in the next 7 loops make one single crochet.
After 7 single crochets, knit 2 single crochets into the last loop.
Knit the row to the end. Do the next row exactly the same. Make a lifting air loop and turn the product over. Next, according to the crochet pattern and recommendations, make 2 single crochets. In the next 9 loops, make a single crochet. In the last stitch of the row, knit 2 single crochets. Knit the row to the end.
Pull the loop lengthwise and pull the skein of yarn through it.
Count 3 loops from the beginning of the row and send the hook to the 4th. Pull out the loop. Make a lifting air loop and make a single crochet in the same base loop. In the next 6 loops, make a single crochet. There should be 7 single crochets in this row.

There are 3 loops left unknitted in the row. Next row - 1 chain lifting loop, turn the knitting over. In the very first loop of the base - 2 single crochets. In the next 5 loops, knit 1 single crochet. That is, make 5 single crochets.
In the last stitch of the row, knit 2 single crochets. Next row - 1 chain lifting loop, turn over. In the very first loop of the base, make 2 single crochets.
The next 7 loops are single crochet. In the last loop, knit 2 single crochets. Do all other rows the same way. Knit the first and last loop with 2 single crochets. In all other loops, work in a single crochet. Knit rows.
The second tier of the tree includes 9 rows. Pull out a loop and thread a skein of yarn through it. Turn the knitting over and count 5 stitches from the beginning. Insert the hook into the 6th loop and pull the thread through. The new row is one lifting air loop. There is also a single crochet. In the next 12 stitches, make a single crochet. There should be 13 single crochets in this row.

At the end of the row, 5 loops remain unknitted. The next row is an air lifting loop. Turn the knitting over. Make 2 single crochets in the same base loop.

Make an air loop and cut the thread. The first part of the beautiful Christmas tree is ready. The second one is made in a similar way.

Place the two pieces together. Pull out the loop and make a lifting air loop. Start tying the parts, making single crochets.
Sew 2 pieces using single crochets. For each row of single crochets, knit a single crochet. Sew the parts together.
At the top of the head, continue to tie the parts or make a chain of air loops to hang the product.
Fill the hole of the toy with filler. Sew.

Applique technique

The thread appliqué technique is universal. With its help, you can make a separate decoration for the New Year, decorate or complement another product, and also assemble garlands.

As a rule, three main shades are suitable for a laconic Christmas design: red, white and green, sometimes their palette is diluted with gold or silver. Therefore, for beginners, it is enough to purchase 3-4 balls of yarn. Flat figurines are used not only for the holiday tree, but will also be an excellent addition to gift wrapping.

This way you can make a Christmas star, animal figures, a New Year's stocking, snowflakes, and pine cones. This type of work can be done in different ways. If it is difficult to immediately navigate where you will have to increase or decrease the length of the rows, you can start with preparation and make a rectangle.

Next, details are added to the base from different sides to create the intended silhouette. In this way you can make an owl or a deer by crochet. At the end, you can add elements in the form of sparkles, beads, buttons, etc.

Knitted bags and socks for gifts

If you pack a gift in an original knitted bag, this will greatly enhance the joy of receiving it. To make it, you can use two methods:

Openwork fabrics are knitted and joined according to the size of the gift.
First, a linen bag is cut out and sewn, and knitted parts are sewn on top.

You can use any crocheted or knitting motifs as knitting patterns.

This elegant bag is tied at the top with a ribbon, like a regular bag of potatoes.

This bag is tied according to the pouch principle: the lace is threaded between the double crochets.

For these models, an openwork mesh is used. A fabric lining will make them more durable, but in principle you can do without it.

For a barrel-shaped bag, first knit the round bottom, and then the openwork walls. The fabric frame is sewn according to the same principle.

Christmas stockings for gifts can be works of art. Looking at them, it may seem that they are very difficult to make, but this is not so.

The master needs patience, plus a little time. After all, these socks perform a purely decorative function. They don’t need to take into account the structure of the human foot—it’s enough that the outline resembles a sock. This makes things much easier.

The principle of knitting: decreasing, adding outer loops, as well as knitting a color picture. First - one half of the sock, then - the second, then the product is sewn together. The Christmas masterpiece is ready.

If you don’t have time to tinker with multicolor paintings, then you can take patterns of winter jacquard patterns or motifs of traditional Norwegian sweaters. They are ideal for this purpose.

Volumetric figures for the holiday tree

Today's popular amigurumi in the style of the Japanese anime series Kigurumi sentai kiltian will become a wonderful New Year's decor and a memorable present.

This topic is very relevant among children and adolescents.

The result is cute and miniature crafts, so they will certainly appeal to even a person who does not understand the subject of anime.
Using the amigurumi technique, you can crochet many little characters. It resembles knitting a sphere with a sharp difference in the number of elements. It is best to fill toys made of threads with light filler, for example, synthetic padding, since the yarn initially has a considerable weight.

Cotton wool is worse, as it is quite heavy and will add extra weight to the material.

Using this technique, you can knit a star, a toy angel, bullfinches, various forest animals, and even Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and deer next to them. According to its concept, the Japanese style of knitting involves small figurines with a cute expression, but various large-scale dolls are becoming more and more common.

Knitted pig for the Year of the Pig

The pig is a symbol of 2022; it will be present in most decorative New Year's compositions. It's not difficult to knit a funny pig. You can use the simplest scheme and make hot coasters in the shape of pig faces. To do this, you need to knit several circles, stitching them into a single composition.

If you attach a loop on top and add a little starch to make it stiffer, you will get a fun Christmas tree toy.

If you attach a circle-piglet, eyes and ears to a knitted cylinder, you will get a thematic binding for a glass.

The cutest little pig can be assembled in a few minutes from 5 knitted balls: one large (body), four small (legs). The toy is completed with a snout (a circle with small stuffing inside), cap ears, beady eyes, and a chain tail.

The toy turns out to be surprisingly expressive, and even a novice knitter can knit it. Experienced craftsmen can knit a more complex pig doll and dress it up.

Improvising for an exhibition

Crochet crafts for the exhibition are made exactly according to such patterns and master classes, since there is a huge space for creativity, and the finished works always look impressive and are interesting to look at.

There are many videos on this topic on the Internet, and it is easier to master it in this format, so we will not dwell on it in detail. Amigurumi on skates are interesting and fit the Christmas theme, and they are completely simple to perform.

They are made according to the classic pattern, and the skates can be knitted separately and put on the finished product. You can also make the figure with additional warm clothing.

Crocheting souvenirs quickly and easily is not a myth at all. To make such a gift or decoration for the New Year, you do not need to have any special skills or extensive experience. Knitting can interest preschoolers and is a great activity on cold winter evenings.

Crochet New Year's toys can be very different in shape, size and design, but creating balls for the Christmas tree, decorative items for the apartment or gift wrapping with your own hands is always very pleasant.

What decorations can be knitted for the New Year?

In the old days, trees were decorated for Christmas, so the toys carried Christmas symbols. These were: the star of Bethlehem on the top, candles as a symbol of angelic purity, apples as a symbol of the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge.

Balls are essentially the same apples. They should be connected first. Each of them will be sweet, wonderful and unlike any other in the world.

The following products will please you and look good:

based on a ring;
based on a solid circle;
hollow balls;
knitted sweets (cookies, sweets, cakes, nuts);
flat fairy tale and New Year characters, snowflakes;
voluminous toys filled with padding polyester.

All this splendor is decorated with bright and shiny details to enhance the joyful atmosphere of the New Year's holiday. These can be purchased accessories, fittings or trim made from threads of a different color. Rich contrasting colors look especially good together.

Knitted Christmas decorations for bottles

Champagne in a New Year's outfit will be a resounding success. This original bottle decor is surprisingly easy to knit. It’s enough to knit a small hat with a scarf, and as a result, instead of an ordinary bottle, there will be an exclusive New Year’s accessory on the table.

You can complicate your task by knitting patterned scarves and hats with an intricate cut.

Another decoration option is bottle sweaters. But if you are short on time, then you can get by with just a knitted patterned cylinder that is put on the bottle.

Curly caps look no less impressive. The main cylinder is knitted with an elastic band, and the doll's head is knitted with knit stitches. A constriction is made on the neck, like a snowman's. We create the deer antlers in the same way as the carrot nose. To give them rigidity, you can insert wire inside.

New Year's matinees

Before the holiday itself, all organizations and institutions hold corporate parties, parties, and children have matinees.

Knitted crafts for kindergarten will be relevant here. They can play a significant role in the beauty of the decoration of the festive hall.

What kind of figures are not invented by needlewomen - knitted balls for the Christmas tree, angels, Christmas tree decorations and even whole bright, multi-colored knitted garlands.

Bottom line

Based on the basic patterns for knitting New Year's balls, you can create many original and fantasy toys: the balls can be embroidered with beads, ribbons, sequins, beads, embroidered, decorated with applique, tied on with ears and tails, attached to eyes and noses, and hung bells on them - whatever you want.

These crafts can keep young and middle-aged children occupied – they will enjoy making something for the Christmas tree with their mother.

Crocheted toys will delight you for many years, but do not forget to take proper care of them:

If there are children in the house, do not hang the balloons on the lower branches within the reach of the child. Knitted products that have no warp inside are quite safe, but they are easy to wrinkle and ruin. Balls with a glass or plastic base can break when dropped and injure the child with fragments.
After the New Year holidays, wash your products: dip them in warm water and soap for 3-5 minutes and rinse.
To prevent rust from appearing in the places where the fittings and threads come into contact after washing, cover the metal elements with transparent nail polish, preferably a thick fixative.
Starched products will have to be starched again.
Dry only at room temperature: hair dryers and batteries will ruin the craft.

We knit 6 sc in the ring, and the next row in each of them 2 sc (total - 12 sc). In the next row we knit them through one increase: alternating sc-2sc (total 18sc). We add one more row in the same way as this (total - 24СБН), and in the next one we will increase through 3СБН (total - 30СБН). Next come 5 rows without additions, after which we will begin to reduce the number of loops. First row 3СБН - skip 1СБН -1СБН (total - 24СБН). We also reduce the next one to 18СБН. And two more rows - up to 12СБН and 6СБН. Now all that remains is to fill the ball with filler. This could be: synthetic wool, old tights or plastic bags. The main thing is that the material maintains the shape of the New Year's ball. We knit a chain of the required length for the loop, folding the thread in half, and fasten it. We stretch the end inside the toy. These balls can easily be tied onto a whole New Year's tree outfit
in a variety of colors.
Even if your threads are monochromatic, it’s wonderful to decorate it with New Year’s themed embroidery

Benefits of knitted holiday decor

Any Christmas tree decorations can be bought in the store, why waste time on knitting them: many will say so. This is a great excuse for the laziest. Things made with your own hands bring great joy.

For some, this is an opportunity to do something with their own hands, for others - to increase their self-esteem and skill.
Knitted Christmas tree decorations are often preferred in homes with small children and pets.
This is a safe decor that will not cause harm and will remain safe and sound.

Knitted decorations can also give the warmest, homely holiday atmosphere. Knowing your requirements, you can create the perfect set of toys that will meet all the requirements.

What yarn is best to knit toys from?

Before you start working on your Christmas tree decoration, you should immediately select the appropriate yarn. It should be taken into account that Christmas tree decorations are small in size, so the thread should be of small thickness and with a good texture.

The ideal option for making such crafts would be:

cotton yarn;
children's acrylic;
silk thread;
"grass";
plush yarn.

In principle, natural wool, mohair, and synthetics can be used to make some versions of toys in a unique style. It is desirable that the type of yarn corresponds to the standard.

Note! You should not use old thread, already faded in the sun with pellets.

For embroidery on the finished fabric, it is permissible to use floss or other sewing threads. Additionally, satin ribbons can be useful, which can also easily be used to decorate the fabric of a knitted product.

Knitting tools and materials

To crochet a Christmas tree craft, you will need materials and tools that can be found in almost any home:

threads;
cardboard - for crafts on a frame;
filler – for soft toys;
hook;
scissors;
sewing needle;
beads, sequins, beads, decorative buttons, satin ribbons, bows - for decoration.

Let's take a closer look at each of the items on the list. For knitting toys, you can use both natural and synthetic threads. Preferred colors: green, blue, white, silver or even gold. For openwork fillet knitted Christmas trees or using the Irish lace technique, it is better to choose thinner yarn, and for voluminous crafts - “grass” or simply thicker threads.

New Year's tree crafts can be flat in the form of an openwork napkin or a wall panel, as well as voluminous - soft toys or interior crafts. In the last two cases, for their manufacture you will need thick cardboard for the frame or filler.

As a filler, you can use padding polyester, padding polyester and foam rubber, which are sold in handicraft stores. But you can go the other way, using available materials - cotton wool, wool, cereals, husks, seeds, fragrant herbs.

Cotton wool is the cheapest filler, but you should remember that after washing, a toy stuffed with it loses its original appearance.

An old wool sweater, cut into pieces, also works well for filling knitted toys. The only disadvantage of this filler is that moths love it very much.

Bulk fillers are used together with soft ones or independently to fill anti-stress toys. In order for a knitted Christmas tree to turn into a relaxation toy, the loose filler must be sewn into a thick fabric bag that follows the shape of the product.

A Christmas tree filled with fragrant herbs will become a wonderful aromatic sachet, which after the holiday you can hang in your closet so that things will smell fragrant all year round. You can collect herbs yourself in the summer or buy them at a pharmacy.

The hook and sewing needle must be suitable for the selected yarn, so it is better to carefully study the recommendations indicated on its label. There is only one requirement for scissors - they must be sharp.

A New Year tree cannot be without decorations. They can be sewn to the finished craft using threads or glued using hot glue.

What yarn to knit Christmas trees from?

If you want your toy to be as close as possible to the original, then you should take green yarn, such as fantasy “grass” or YarnArt Christmas. Its composition does not matter much. For a Christmas tree with stylized branches or needles, take regular smooth yarn; leftovers of any green shades will do.

By the way, in our selection you will find Christmas trees not only green, but also any other color. For example, one of the needlewomen knitted a pink and blue “sparkling Christmas tree” - it turned out to be a glamorous option for girls.

What color yarn should I choose?

A stylized Christmas tree can be of absolutely any color: gold, blue, pink and of course you can use all shades of green. The main thing here is to understand how and where you will use the finished product. For example, hanging a green toy on the Christmas tree doesn’t make much sense, because... she will get lost among the needles. And for a New Year's garland of fir trees, green, red, gold and silver colors are suitable. You can also knit a green Christmas tree from grass-type yarn as a keychain; it perfectly imitates real needles.
