The beginning of a new year always marks the beginning of a new life, bright, rich and fruitful. According to the Chinese horoscope, the symbol of 2017 is the Rooster. The harmonious combination of colors in his appearance symbolizes a surge of energy, vitality, and beauty. The main color of the coming year is red, which has always been personified with passion, wealth, victory and love.
In order to bring all these positive aspects into the coming new year, you need to decorate your home with the symbol of 2017. Needlewomen have a great opportunity to create a cute souvenir with their own hands by knitting a cockerel using knitting needles. In addition, a knitted symbol of the year is a good idea for a gift to family and friends. This article will tell you how to knit a New Year's Rooster on knitting needles.
The finished model will look like this:
Even novice needlewomen can knit such an unusual souvenir, since making the toy does not take much time and is quite simple. So, we will need:
- Yarn in red, white and orange;
- Knitting needles in sizes 3.25 mm and 2.5 mm;
- Filler (sintepon, holofiber);
- Black beads for eyes (or black yarn);
- Hook;
- Sewing needle.
Cockerel height = 11 cm.
It is worth noting that the fashion for cute knitted items, albeit created using a crochet hook, came from Japan. In the land of the rising sun this art was called amigurumi. The size of knitted toys traditionally ranges from 5 to 10 cm. In Russia, such needlework not only took root, but also began to develop; knitting needles began to be widely used to create toys.
Let's start knitting the rooster's body
Cast on 7 loops for the base.
We knit the 1st row and all odd rows up to the 9th inclusive;
2 rows: k1, ^1 loop added from the broach, knit 1, then repeat from ^ to the end of the row. There are 13 loops on the knitting needles;
4 rows: repeat the 2nd row, on the knitting needles - 25 loops;
6 r.: 1 knit, ^1 loop added from the broach, 2 knit, then repeat from ^ 4 times, 2 knit, repeat from ^ 2 more times, 1 knit, then repeat again from ^ 4 times. There are already 35 loops in total;
9 r.: purl;
Rows 10-23: stockinette stitch;
24 r.: 1 knit, then a complex (2 knits together, 2 knits), this complex needs to be knitted 4 times, then 2 knits, 2 times a complex, 2 knits, knit a complex 4 more times. In total, there are again 35 loops on the knitting needles;
Rows 25 and 27: purl loops;
26 r.: 1 knit, then decrease (2 knits together, 1 knit), knit a decrease 4 times, then 2 knits, knit a decrease 2 more times, 2 knits, 4 more repetitions of a decrease. There are a total of 25 loops on the knitting needles;
We knit rows 29-41 with stitch stitch (odd 29th too);
Row 42: K1, dec 2 stitches together until the end of the row. There are 9 loops left on the knitting needles.
We pull the thread through these 9 loops, for convenience you can use a hook, pull the loops tightly together, and fasten. We match the seams, but sew together about 2/3 of the toy; the remaining hole will be needed for stuffing the rooster’s body. After the contours of the toy are formed, it is necessary to sew up the seam well.
We knit the wings of a cockerel
First wing: cast on 11 stitches.
In the first row of them we close off 6 loops, knit 4 stitches;
2 rows: purl 5 stitches, then knit 5 stitches on the knitting needles, turn the product over;
3 p.: close 5 loops, then knit 4 knits;
4 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knitting needles, turn the wing over;
5 p.: close 4 more loops, then knit 4 knits;
6 p.: the same as the 4th;
Then loosely close the loops.
Second wing: cast on 9 stitches.
1st row: close 4 loops, knit 4 stitches;
2 rows: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 4 knits again, turn the product over;
3 rubles: the same as the 1st;
4 rows: purl 5 stitches, cast on 5 knitting needles, unfold the wing again;
5 p.: close 5 loops, knit 4 more knits;
6 r.: purl. knit 5 loops, cast on 6 knit stitches, then turn the wing over;
Close the loops loosely.
After this, we attach the wings to the body of the rooster.
Scallop: we put 7 loops on the knitting needles with red yarn, knit 1 row. In the next row you need to cast on 2 loops and cast off 4, after which we slip 1 loop onto the left needle from the right one. Repeat until all loops are completely closed, starting with a set of 2 loops.
Sew the comb to the cockerel.
For the beak, you will need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn, and purl the 1st row.
Row 2: k2, decrease k2 together, k2 again;
Row 3: Dec 2 stitches together, purl 1. knit, then decrease 2 loops again;
4 r.: 3 loops together purl. Now you need to sew the edges of the beak, but do not stuff it, but sew it in this form to the head of the toy.
Let's start knitting the beard (we will knit 2 parts). Cast on 5 loops with red yarn. In the first row, knit 3 loops and unfold the product. In the second row, purl 3 loops and unfold the product. Close off the stitches with knit stitches. Sew both parts of the beard under the rooster's beak.
In order to knit a leg (you will need to make 2 pieces), you need to cast on 6 loops with orange yarn on the knitting needles. Knit the first row and everything up to the 11th row.
Row 11: continue the knit row, at the end we cast on 4 more stitches, unfold the product;
12 r.: close off 5 loops, knit 3 stitches with them, again put 4 loops on the knitting needle, turn the product over;
13 r.: close 6 stitches with knit stitches, slip 1 loop from right to left, then cast on 4 loops. We close the loops.
The rooster's leg must be sewn down to the paw, the threads must be secured well and hidden. Then sew the finished parts to the body of the cockerel. If there is a wire, you can add to the product, then the legs of the toy will bend.
It remains to knit the last detail - the feathers. They are knitted from white yarn. We cast on 15 loops. Then comes the motif - we close 12 loops, knit 2 knit stitches (3 loops remain on the knitting needle), in the second row we knit these loops purl and turn the product over, in the 3rd row we again cast on 12 loops, turn the product. We knit this motif until we get a large number of feathers (6-7). Then we close all the loops, bend the resulting part and sew it to the rooster.
We decorate the toy’s head with eyes: sew on beads or make 2 longitudinal stitches with black thread.

The coming year 2017 according to the eastern calendar will be under the auspices of the Fire Rooster. The symbol of the year is the personification of energy, brightness and beauty, and the main color of the year is red, symbolizing victory, love, passion. The Rooster loves order and organization, but at the same time he likes to spend time in the company of loved ones and be the center of attention.
To pay worthy attention to the main symbol of the year, you need to decorate the festive table with the image of a cockerel, and why not make it yourself. Tying it with your own hands may seem difficult at first glance, but after studying this unique master class by Ekaterina Kuryleva in detail, you can safely get to work, without fear of anything and be confident in the final successful result.
What you need for work
To knit a cockerel with knitting needles we will need:
- yarn of two or more colors, one of which, the main one, should be red (the rooster is fiery). Yarn of a contrasting color will be needed for the wings, tail, beak and comb of the bird;
- a set of stocking needles matching the size of the yarn;
- stuffing for filling the figurine;
- needle and thread.
Conventions found in the text:
SP – spoke;
P – loop;
LP – facial loop.
We knit the torso
We start working with red yarn. Let's cast on the knitting needles 30 P. Distribute them over three knitting needles, 10 P for each. We knit two rows in the round with knit stitches.
In the third row on each joint you need to add one loop. To do this, count five Ps, and from the sixth knit two (one is knitted behind the front wall and, without removing the P from the left knitting needle, from the same P we knit behind the back wall). Now there are 11 stitches on each joint. In the fourth row we knit only LP. 5 R - we add 3 P to each joint in this way: we count three P and from the next one we knit two, after another 3, and then after 2 we do the same. So there will be 14 P on each knitting needle.
The sixth R is LP only. 7 R - we increase again after every third P. There will be 17 loops on the joint venture. 8 R – LP. 9 R – add 4 P for each joint venture, after every third. 10 R – LP. 11 R - add another 5 P for each joint venture, after every third P. It turns out 26 P for each joint venture. 12-20 R – we knit in a circle without decreasing or increasing.
On the first and second joints we will place a marker after the 13th loop. 21 R - on the first joint after the marker we knit two P together behind the back wall. On the second SP in front of the marker we knit two Ps together behind the front wall. On the third joint we knit 12, 13 and 14 loops together, so that the middle one is in the center. To do this, remove the first and second P to the right joint, hooking them onto the front wall, and now return them twisted back. We knit three Ps behind the back wall.
Twenty-second R - do the same on the remaining three joint ventures. 23 R - see 21 and 22 R. 24 R - we make a decrease on the first and second SP, on the third - only LP. Decrease looks like this. 25-31 R – we continue decreasing on two joint ventures. 32 R - decrease on the first two, and on the third knitting needle we knit the first and second P together behind the back wall, and the penultimate and last one behind the front. 33 R - now we also do it on all joints, we decrease the first two and last two P, behind the back and front wall, respectively. Gradually the silhouette of a cockerel emerges. 34-36 R – cm 33 R. 37 R – entire R LP.
There are 16 P left on the joint venture, now you can distribute it so that it is convenient for you. Now we knit ten rows of LP. Using a hook, pull the working thread through the loops and tighten. To make it more convenient to work further, let’s fill the blank cockerel with filler.
We knit wings
For the wing, use a thread of a different color to cast on 15 stitches. 1 R – knit with pearl stitch, alternating knit and purl stitches. 2 R – see 1 R. 3 R – cm 1 R. 4 R – close the first three loops, then continue to knit according to the pattern with pearl stitch. 5 R – according to the drawing. 6 P – close the first three P, then follow the picture. 7 Р – see picture. 8 R – see 4 R. 9 R – see picture. 10 R – close P. One wing of the cockerel is ready. Let's also connect the second one.
Knitting the tail
For the tail of the cockerel, we immediately cast on 25 P. 1 R - we knit the entire row with a pearl pattern. 2 R - close 20 P, five P remain on the knitting needles. 3 R - 5 P with pearl stitch and cast on 15 loops on the knitting needle, throwing loops on it. 4 R – 2 LP, then a pearl pattern. 5 R - close 15 P. 6 R - pearl pattern and cast on SP 10 P. 7 R - knit according to the pattern starting from LP. 8 R - close 10 P. 9 R - first according to the drawing, then dial 5 P on the joint venture. 10 R - repeat the pattern, starting with 2 LP. In the next row we close the loops completely.
Fold the base of the tail in half and secure it. The cockerel is already beginning to emerge in all its beauty and attractiveness.
Knitting a beak
For a simple and quite small beak of a cockerel, dial 5 P. 1 R - the entire R LP. 2 R – we knit with only purl stitches. 3 R – 1 LP, three P together, so that the middle P is in the middle, again 1 LP. 4 R - we knit again with only purl stitches. 5 R – three knits together. 6 R – 1 purl. We close it, and the cockerel’s beak is ready.
To knit a rooster you will need:
- Yarn (purple, scarlet, yellow, turquoise, green, dark yellow) - 50 g of each shade; a little black and white yarn - to decorate the eyes;
- Knitting needles (6 pcs., number 3);
- Hook (number 3);
- Filler (at your discretion: holofiber or padding polyester);
- Needle for stitching.
When working on a knitted rooster, keep in mind that the diagram and description are indicated with possible increases and decreases. One cell in the diagram corresponds to one loop.
Rooster body
The right side starts from the center of the back. Cast on 20 stitches with purple thread and knit in regular stockinette stitch.
The second part of the body is symmetrical
For the front part, cast on 4 loops with purple thread and knit in satin stitch. In each 2nd and 4th row, add 2 loops (1 on both sides). Then in every fourth row, 1 stitch four times.
