You can make knitted refrigerator magnets with your own hands – to your delight and as a gift to your friends!

Most of us probably have magnets on our refrigerator. These little souvenirs remind us of our travels and the voyages of our friends, and they also make the interior homely, warm, and cozy. In just one evening, each craftswoman can knit several small magnets, united by the theme of baking.

Fridge magnets are knitted and crocheted souvenirs. A piece of cake, a cherry puff pastry, a pretzel and a twist.

Materials: brown yarn (2-3 colors), yellow, raspberry (jam color), green (for leaves), white cotton thread (bobbin or “iris”), synthetic fluff, colorless and yellow beads, magnets or magnetic tape.

Hook No. 1.75. Thin stocking needles (5 pieces).

Master Class:

Legend:

RLS - single crochet
VP - air loop

1. A piece of cake. Crocheted with size 1.75. We knit an RLS striped elongated rectangle - the sides of the cake. Yarn colors are coffee brown, chocolate brown and raspberry. Photo No. 1. We knit 2 triangular parts - the top and bottom of the cake - coffee brown color. To make a triangle, we knit each row of sc to the end, we start the new row not with sc, but with a half-stitch. Length of the longest sides of the triangle = ? length of the striped part. Make the smallest part of the triangle rounded too. We knit the end part of the piece - a rectangle of chocolate brown color.

We sew all the details. The long striped part will bend in half. Don't forget to fill the cake with synthetic fluff or cotton wool. See photos No. 2, 3, 4.

“Cream”: we tie the top of the cake around the perimeter with white thin cotton thread (spool or “iris”). Pattern: *SC, 3 VP, SC* - in each loop. See photo No. 2.

We decorate the top of the cake with embroidery - a large and a small rose with green leaves.

Don't forget to glue the magnet!

1 – details of the cake, 2 – sewn cake with top trim, 3 – bottom view, 4 – end view, 5 – 6 – embroidery.

2. Pretzel. Knitted with thin stocking needles. We cast on 12 loops, distribute them onto 4 knitting needles, and knit in the “stocking” circle. Length - approximately 16 - 18 cm. Close the loops. We stuff the stocking with synthetic down. We roll it into a pretzel and sew it together (see photo).

We sew transparent and yellow beads onto the pretzel - this is an imitation of sugar sprinkles.

3. Cherry puff pastry. Knitted with thin stocking needles. Crocheted. We knit a “holey” yellow piece. We cast on 20 loops.

1st row: purl
Row 2: *knit 2, close 4 stitches* - 3 times, knit 2
Row 3: *purl 2, cast on 4 stitches* - 3 times, purl 2
Row 4: knit 4, *cast off 4 loops, knit 2* - 2 times, bind off 2 loops, knit 2
Row 5: purl 2, purl 2 loops, * purl 2, purl 4 loops* - 2 times, purl 4
6 row = 2 row
7th row = 3rd row
Row 8 = knit
Row 9 = cast off all stitches

We knit the second part (raspberry color). This is a rectangle of stockinette stitch. You can knit it a little smaller in size to stretch the yellow part. This will make the holes more visible.

We put 2 parts together. The raspberry piece is right side out. We tie the puff pastry around the perimeter with a crawfish step (hook).

Don't forget to glue the magnet.

4. Vitushka. Knitted with thin stocking needles and crochet number 1.75. We cast on approximately 60 stitches using dark brown yarn.

1st – 2nd row (dark brown): purl
3-4 row (light brown): purl

Close the loops. See photo #1.

Fold the strip lengthwise and roll it into a spiral so that both the dark and light parts are visible. Sew it together. See photo #2.

We crochet a circle - sc in a spiral with increases, the color is light brown. The diameter of the light circle is slightly smaller than the circle. This is the back of the magnet. Sew the twist and the back. Photo No. 2 – 3.

We sew transparent beads along the front side.

Photo 4 – glue a magnet (or a piece of magnetic tape).

Materials: Iris threads of different colors as desired. Hook 1.75, needle for sewing on details.

Carapace

If you knit in multi-colored rows, do not forget to change the thread.
We knit a chain of two air loops and 6 single crochets (hereinafter referred to as sc) in the second loop from the hook. We will knit in the round without connecting the rows.
Row 1 - *1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch * repeat 3 times (9 stitches)
2nd row - *1 sc in each of the next two loops, 2 sc in the third *repeat 3 times (12 loops)
3rd row - 2 sc in each loop of the previous row (24 loops)
4th row - *1 sc in each of the next two loops, 2 sc in the third *repeat 8 times (32 loops)
From 5 to 8 rows - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (32 loops)
Row 9 - *3 sc in each of the next three stitches, 2 sc in the fourth *repeat 8 times (40 stitches)
Row 10 - *4 sc in each of the next four stitches, 2 sc in the fifth *repeat 8 times (48 stitches)
11th and 12th rows - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (48 loops)
Row 13 - start decreasing -* 2 sc together, 1 sc in the next 4 stitches* repeat 8 times (40 stitches)
how to make decreases neatly? try to knit very tightly so that there are no holes between the loops.
Row 14 -* 2 sc together, 1 sc in the next 3 stitches* repeat 8 times (32 stitches)
Row 15 -* 2 sc together, 1 sc in the next 2 stitches* repeat 8 times (24 stitches)
Rows 16-18 - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (24 loops)
Row 19 - increase - *1 sc in each of the next two loops, 2 sc in the third *repeat 8 times (32 loops)
Row 20 - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (32 loops)

Eyes (2 parts)

First we knit the columns:
We close the chain of 6 ch into a circle, knit 10 rows of sc in a circle.
Row 11 - *1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch * repeat 3 times (9 loops)
Row 12 - *1 sc in each of the next two loops, 2 sc in the third *repeat 3 times (12 loops)
Row 13 - *1 sc in each of the next three loops, 2 sc in the fourth *repeat 3 times (15 loops)
Row 14 - *1 sc in each of the next four stitches, 2 sc in the fifth *repeat 3 times (18 stitches)
Row 15 - *1 sc in each of the next five stitches, 2 sc in the sixth *repeat 3 times (21 stitches)
Row 16 - *1 sc in each of the next six stitches, 2 sc in the seventh *repeat 3 times (24 stitches)
Row 17 - *1 sc in each of the next seven stitches, 2 sc in the eighth stitch *repeat 3 times (27 stitches)
Row 18 - *1 sc in each of the next eight stitches, 2 sc in the ninth *repeat 3 times (30 stitches)
Row 19 - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (30 loops)
Row 20 - unfold the knitting and knit 15 sc in each stitch of the previous row.
We insert a wire into the post so that it bends well.

Now we knit the whites of the eyes
Using white thread we knit a chain of two air loops and 6 sc in the second loop from the hook.
2nd row - 2 sc in each loop of the previous row (12 loops)
Row 3 - *1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch * repeat 6 times (18 stitches)
Row 4 - *1 sc in each of the next two stitches, 2 sc in the third *repeat 6 times (24 stitches)
Row 5 - *1 sc in each of the next three loops, 2 sc in the fourth *repeat 6 times (30 loops)
6th row - 1 sc in each loop (no increases) (30 loops)
Row 7 - start decreasing -* 2 sc together, 1 sc in the next 3 stitches* repeat 6 times (24 stitches)

We knit the iris and pupil:

The irises can be knitted with orange and brown threads. Using brown, we cast on a chain of 10 ch and knit 1 sc in each, then change the thread to orange, knit 1 connecting stitch, 2 sc, 1 half double crochet, 2 double crochets, 1 half double crochet, 2 sc, 1 connecting column. Leave the ends of the threads for sewing.
For the pupil we knit 4 ch with black threads, in the second loop from the hook we knit 1 sc, in the next loop we knit 1 more sc, and we knit the initial VP with 3 sc, then in the second VP on the other side we knit 1 more sc and in the last VP we knit 1 sc, those. it turned out to be an oval. We embroider the “glitter in the eyes” with white thread.

Assembly:
I sewed the iris to the white of the eye, the pupil on top, then sewed the white to the post so that the top part of the post was with 15 sc. We stuff it through a small hole, then sew it up.

Carefully close the loops. In the center of the side line we knit a strip with double crochets (about 2-3 dc in 1 loop). Sew on the shell.

At the very end, take 2 round flat magnets and glue them with super glue at a distance. The magnet snail is ready!

Fridge magnet “A swallow flies towards us with spring in the canopy” - participant No. 20.

Our title sponsor is an online store for handicrafts Tow .

For knitting you needed: threads (100% acrylic; 300 m/100 g): white 10 g and pink 30 g; a magnet with a diameter of 4 cm, some Iris threads (100% cotton) - white and lingonberry; hook No. 2, hook No. 1,4. 10 cm green wire, 40 cm beading wire, a piece of pink felt, 1 plastic eye.

Who would refuse such a gift that will delight the eye several times a day?

This magnet contains all the well-known symbols of Spring.

From childhood we remember the words of our favorite poem:

“A swallow is flying towards us with spring in the canopy!”

The symbol of spring is the snowdrop emerging from under the snow.

What is the most important holiday in March? It's International Women's Day. That's why I made a refrigerator magnet - it's a swallow that carries a calendar page with the number 8 and a snowdrop in its beak.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

Using pink thread and crochet number 2, knit two parts of the head according to the pattern. Connect both parts with the wrong sides facing each other, after placing a little padding polyester between them, tie them together with a sc.

For the body, knit one white and one pink piece according to the pattern. Sew the pieces together to make a circle. With pink thread, continue knitting in the round. On the next row, decrease every third stitch. Insert a magnet and work 1 more row of sc, decreasing in every other stitch.

Cut out a tail and wing for our swallow from pink felt.

Knit a calendar page from “Iris” threads.

For rigidity, I tied the motif along the contour of the sc, laying beading wire.

For a snowdrop you need to knit two tiers of petals.

Using white “Iris” thread, use crochet no. 1.4 to cast on 2 ins. p., 8 sc in the 2nd loop. Next, knit 4 petals, for this *dial 8 stitches. p., starting from the second century. knit in the opposite direction: sc, sc, pst, pst, dc, pst, sc; two connections Art. in the loops of the center of the flower*. From * to * repeat 4 times. We knitted the outer tier of the flower.

2nd century p., 8 sc in the 2nd loop. Next, knit 4 petals, for this *dial 7 stitches. p., starting from the second century. knit in the opposite direction: sc, sc, pst, dc, pst, sc; two connections Art. in the loops of the center of the flower*. From * to * repeat 4 times. We knitted the inner tier of the flower.

Tint the petals with blue batik paints. Connect the tiers of the snowdrop, thread the green wire into the middle of the flower and secure. Secure the petals of the inner tier together with thread.

ASSEMBLY

Sew the head, wing and tail of the swallow to the body. Make a beak from 3 half double crochets knitted together. Glue the eye. Sew a calendar page and a snowdrop to the beak.

Our souvenir is ready!

You can congratulate lovely ladies on the holiday!
