Morska sirena - Crochet mermaid FREE pattern

Morska sirena  - pola žena, pola riba, lik iz grčke mitologije dosta je omiljena među djecom, kao i ljubiteljima kukičanja. Stoga danas objavljujem besplatni pattern za izraditi lutkicu sirenu. Pattern je na engleskom jeziku, a u nastavku je link na download PDF dokumenta u mom Etsy shopu (za one kojima je draže isprintati pattern).

PDF file u Etsy shopu nije besplatan, za razliku od ove verzije na blogu. Uživajte u kukičanju sirene, a rado bih pročitala i povratne informacije, te pitanja ukoliko ih ima.
Sirenu možete napraviti od pamučnog konca ili vune, ovisi što vam je ugodnije za rad, a u izradi lutkice koristila sam kukicu od 3mm. Lutkica je visoka oko 20 cm. Uživajte u kukičanju (heklanju).

Amigurumi FOX - FREE crochet pattern

      Na ovom blogu možete pronaći neke besplatne patterne koji su inače objavljeni u mom Etsy shopu Pletionica  https://www.etsy.com/shop/Pletionica  kao PDF file, koji se lako može isprintati. Danas objavljujem crochet pattern za izradu male igračke lisice, također dostupan u Etsy shopu u PDF formatu. Voljela bih čuti vašu reakciju u vezi objave ovih patterna, jer posebno me zanima ima li interesa za uputstva na hrvatskom jeziku. Dosad nisam imala takvih zahtjeva, ali razmišljam o pisanju shema na hrvatskom, pogotovo za kukičane (heklane) igračke i neke druge stvari koje izrađujem, pa me zanima kakva bi bila potražnja na ovom području. Možda objavim i knjigu s amigurumi uputstvima. Koga zanima tema neka mi se slobodno javi u komentarima.

A sad evo obećani FREE crochet pattern, naravno na engleskom, uz Etsy link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/233675794/amigurumi-fox-crochet-pattern-free-owl?ref=shop_home_active_33

I početnici u kukičanju jednostavno mogu izraditi zgodne privjeske za bor od ostataka vune koji su im pri ruci. 

Osim klasičnih Božićnih ukrasa poput Djeda Mraza i Snješka, možete napraviti bezbroj prigodnih ukrasa poput anđela, čarapica iliti čizmica, zvončića, šeširića, bakinih keksića ili mini Božićnog vijenca. Evo nekoliko mojih ukrasa koji se mogu pronaći i u

How to make eyes for crochet dolls - kako napraviti oči za heklane lutke

Dosta posjećujem brojne Facebook grupe vezane uz izradu amigurumija, te primjećujem da je mnogima veliki problem kako napraviti oči za heklanu lutku. Ako i vi imate sličan problem, evo nekoliko ideja kako to riješiti.
Najjednostavnije je kupiti plastične safety eyes i postaviti ih na lutkino lice. No, nekima to baš i nije jednostavno, jer nemaju mogućnosti kupiti ih, ili ne žele plastične oči na svojoj novoj handmade lutkici. Oči možete napraviti na bezbroj načina - kukičanjem, vezenjem ili umjesto safety eyes upotrijebiti plastične dugmiće. Radite li lutke za manju djecu preporuka je heklati ili izvesti oči, jer dugmići su opasni ako ih dijete slučajno proguta.
Evo nekoliko primjera iz mog iskustva. Napravila sam puno lutkica, ali baš nikad nisam koristila safety eyes. Jednom sam upotrijebila plastične oči koje se zalijepe, jer mi se nije dalo eksperimentirati, ali napominjem kako su takve oči još opasnije za djecu do 3 godine, ako ljepilo slučajno popusti. Ovu lutku sa zalijepljenim očima radila sam za sudjelovanje u natječaju stranice

http://www.amigurumipatterns.net/

Riječ je o vještici Crazy witch Violet. Još jedna sličica njenih strašnih očiju iz blizine.

Prva lutka koju sam napravila prije nekoliko godina, a zove se Blondie, ima plave oči - kombinaciju heklanja i plastičnog dugmića. Bijelom bojom napravi se krug, na koji se potom crnim koncem zašije svijetlo plavo dugme. Promjer dugmića i heklanog kruga ovise o veličini lutke. U konkretnom slučaju, lutka je visine oko 30 cm. Za bjeloočnicu potrebno je u magičnu petlju heklati 6 niskih stupića, a u idućem redu u svaku očicu heklati 2 niska stupića, da ih ukupno dobijemo 12. U sredinu kruga zašije se dugme promjera 1 cm i sve zajedno zašije se na lutkino lice.

Na sličan način napravila sam oči i ovoj lutki u mornarskom stilu. Upute kako izraditi cijelu lutku + dvije odjevne kombinacije može se naći u mom Etsy shopu:

 https://www.etsy.com/listing/191655399/crochet-pattern-amigurumi-crochet-doll?ref=shop_home_active_27

Oči na ovoj lutki napravljene su istom tehnikom, samo što sam ovdje koristila crne dugmiće.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/466382652/crochet-doll-pattern-amigurumi-doll-in?ref=shop_home_active_16

Sljedeći način za napraviti oči je heklanje. Crnim koncem napraviti magičnu petlju, u koju heklamo 6 niskih stupića. Drugi red promijenimo boju konca primjerice u plavo, te heklamo 2 niska stupića u svaku očicu. Na kraju reda trebamo imati 12 očica. Treći red heklamo bijelim koncem, tako da u prvu očicu radimo 1 niski stupić, a u iduću 2 niska stupića, te tako ponavljamo do kraja kruga. U sredinu oka bijelim koncem napravimo malo crtu, kao sjaj u oku. Oko zašijemo na lutkino lice, te izvezemo trepavice. 

Ovako to izgleda na dovršenoj lutki:

Lutka sa heklanim očima zove se Pearl, a pattern koji obuhvaća dva outfita također je dostupan u mom Etsy shopu:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/522563039/doll-with-2-outfits-crochet-pattern?ref=shop_home_feat_3

Nisam stručnjak za vezenje, naprotiv, daleko sam od toga, ali se na relativno lak način i tako mogu napraviti oči na lutkama. Na Pinterestu ima dosta foto tutoriala kako izvesti oči, no ja na ovom blogu objavljujem samo svoje fotografije, pa ću vam ukratko prikazati ovu tehniku. Prvi korak je crnom vunom ili pamučnim koncem napraviti dvije točke na mjestima gdje bi trebale biti oči.

Smeđim koncem ili bojom po želji vezemo crtice oko crne točke i onda iglom kružno prelazimo oko tih crtica. Iglu provlačimo ispod crte, tako da se konac omota oko nje. Isti postupak ponovimo još jednom s bijelim koncem, pa bi na kraju trebali dobiti nešto slično ovome.

Zasad toliko, želim vam uspješno heklanje :-)
