How to tie a slingshot with your own hands. How to tie a crochet hook

Today, it's very fashionable to make slip-ups with your own hands. These lovely ornaments mum with pleasure puts on a neck. And babies can use them to play or even to scratch the gums during teething.

What is a slingshot?

They are also called jokingly mammals, as well as "feeding" beads. Perhaps this is because many parents distract them the attention of children who do not like to eat a spoon or a soup from a spoon. And on the road or on a walk, kids often drag them into their mouths, which could also become the basis for getting the decoration of this name.

And why are they called slings? The explanation is one thing. The kid, whose parents are wearing a sling for a walk, is happy to play them. Although many go for a walk with a stroller or holding a crumb on their hands. However, the jewelry remained with the interesting name "slings". It's very simple to make them with your own hands.

What are the "feeding" beads made of?

Usually, wooden beads, carefully washed and processed, are taken for the craft. But rattles, plastic or rubber animals, crocheted beads, mushrooms, flowers or miniature toys made of yarn, sewn mini-figures, wooden small toys can be used. Since it is possible to make sling buses from a wide variety of details, most often masters combine in one product different materials and shapes.

To use wooden toys when making decorations, they need to drill holes for the thread. Such slingboys, made with their own hands and put on by the mother by the mother, bring joy to the kids, because they are bright, no one curses if the crumb pulls them into the mouth. Often adults tell interesting stories about them: meow, showing the cat's figure, moo, if there is a small knitted crochet on the beads, buzz when the child pokes his finger into a wooden bee.

Caring for the safety of crumbs in the manufacture of mambus

It is very important, when doing "feeding" beads, to observe such rules:

1. The constituent parts of the jewelry should not be too small, so that the kid does not swallow the item inadvertently.
2. Materials from which mammals are made must be natural. Using wooden beads, prefer juniper balls that are easy to clean and have bactericidal properties. Yarn is used cotton.
3. Unacceptable materials are metal, glass, polymer clay. Should be abandoned beads with overlaid elements, as well as made of plastic.
4. You can not use lightly tearing yarns when assembling a sling bus, as they can break off, and the parts can crumble, at best, or be in the mouth of the baby and be swallowed - at worst. The ideal option for this product will be a thick fishing line, which after assembly of the jewelry should be carefully knotted and sealed. Silk braid and satin ribbon, tied or sewn at the junction, are good in use.

Slingshots with miniature knitted toys

Animal figurines will be extremely entertaining for the baby. And since you can tie crochet hooks using not only beads, but also funny animals, you need to take care of them. It will not be difficult for the craftsmen to make them. Miniature crocheted toys are a kind of art. It is interesting and exciting to engage in, but this hobby requires perseverance and accuracy.

Sling-beads as a female decoration

Of course, a woman who wears this kind of decoration on herself, must necessarily take care of making it beautiful. It is good, if the mammals are combined in color with a sling or cloak, attire or other accessories.

Often, in the manufacture of slings, rings are used, tied with lace - it's very stylish, modern. And during the game with them, the baby's fingertips are involved, which has a beneficial effect on the development of brain activity.

Slings-beams clattering

First, children are happy to play "feeding" beads. But soon it gets boring, and Mom again has to entertain the crumb during long trips or waiting for admission to the clinic. What can I do to arouse the interest of the child in the slings?

Resourceful moms came up with: you need to build such jewelry that will rattle! Sounds surely will attract the attention of the baby. And in order not to hang on a usual rattle, which is often quite large for the sling bus, clever men have come up with their own original way out. They decided to use the container from the kinder-surprise.

About how to tie up the sling buses rattling, using this plastic drop-down egg, it's easy to guess. After all, you just need to tie it with a crochet, just like it does for making beads. But preliminary in the container it is necessary to put some small objects, capable to rattle.

Knitting pattern for solid beads

The simplest method of manufacturing is the use of ready-made large beads as a basis. They can be taken from already unnecessary jewelry. But if there are none, then the craftsmen make a base of foil from the chocolate, rolling a ball of the right size out of it.

Hook him tie it. To do this, use the method of knitting a column without a crochet in the event that it is decided to knit a solid bandage. For beginners who decided to make slingshops with their own hands, the schemes proposed here will be a great help.

Only you need to consider that:

• A reduction in RLS means "a column without a crochet";
• Asterisks are marked with repeated reports;
• The number of resulting loops after the coupling is behind the equal sign.

Lace slingshot: crochet pattern

Such ornaments are so beautiful that any mother will happily wear them even if she walks without a baby for a walk. Since it is impossible to make slings-beams with their own hands in the "lace" technique without a base, the master will need large juniper beads. The pattern of binding is as follows. First, a ring of five air loops is made.

• 1 row - increase. From each loop, two bars with two crochets are loosened. The result is 10 loops.
• 2nd row - increase. For lifting, two air hinges should be tied, * 3 posts with two hinges from the second hinge (one skip not bound) * - repeat the report 5 times. The result should be 15 loops.
• 3 row - increase. For lifting, two air loops should be tied up, * 4 stakes with two crochets from the third loop (two passes not tied) * - repeat the report 5 times. The result should be 20 loops.
• 4 row - increase. If the volume is sufficient, then you should start reducing the loops. If the volume is small, then you can continue the increase using the given algorithm. That is, for lifting, two air loops should be tied, * 5 posts with two crochets from each fourth loop (three missed not bound) * - repeat the report 5 times. The result should be 25 loops.

The loops decrease in reverse order.

• 1 row - decrease (for the variant, when formed with an increase of 25 loops). Two air loops are used for lifting. * To knit five bars with two crochets so that they all remain on the working hook, then make one loop, tying all six loops together, three air loops * - the report is repeated 5 times, resulting in 20 loops.
• 2 row - reduction. Two air loops are used for lifting. * To knit 4 posts with two crochets so that they all remain on the working hook, then make one loop, tying all 5 loops together, 2 air loops * - the report is repeated 5 times, resulting in 15 loops.
• 3 row - decrease. Two air loops are used for lifting. * To knit 3 bars with two crochets so that they all remain on the working hook, then make one loop, tying all 4 loops together, 1 air loop * - the report is repeated 5 times, resulting in 10 loops.
• 4 row - decrease. Two air loops are used for lifting. * To knit 2 bars with two crochets so that they all remain on the working hook, then make one loop, tying all 3 loops together * - the report is repeated 5 times, resulting in 5 loops. Knitting ends: the thread is torn off and dragged into the last loop, tightening it.

Sling buses are an eco-friendly toy-decoration, which brings joy to mothers and their babies. And made by own hands, they are still the pride of a mother or grandmother, an expression of their creative imagination.
