Jewelry Options

You can make an ordinary knitted egg or add to it beaded patterns, ribbons, sequins, sequins. Another option is not only to tie the holiday symbols themselves, but also to add some special accessories to get, for example, knitted Easter eggs in a basket. Some masters go even further and knit not just openwork patterns, but whole figures of animals. Such Easter eggs will be especially interesting for children.

Method one, classical

How to crochet Easter eggs? The dense product is knitted, stuffed with sintepon, decorated. To do this, you will need any yarn you like, simple or sectional, suitable hook, sintepon for packing. A chain of seven air loops is dialed, closes into a ringlet. The second row is tied the same number of columns without a crochet. The next series consists of fourteen loops. The fourth row is also fourteen. In the fifth row again, you need to add seven bars without a crochet. The sixth row repeats the same number - 21 loops. In the seventh row, again adding to 7 columns, that is, in every third loop a column is added. The result is twenty-eight loops. From the eighth to the thirteenth row this number is repeated, and from the fourteenth it begins to decrease as much as was added, that is, seven loops. The fifteenth row consists of 21 loops, in the sixteenth the number is again reduced, to fourteen. The seventeenth is tied unchanged, the eighteenth reduces the number of loops by seven. Now the egg can be stuffed with filler. In the nineteenth row, each column is knitted through the loop of the preceding row, and all the remaining loops are pulled together. The thread is fixed. Everything, the work is finished.

Method of the second

How to crochet Easter eggs if you want something more original? You can make printed figures of animals. Bright and colorful, they will decorate any table. Yellow chickens, white bunnies and mice will please both adults and kids. The taurus of the figure is knitted with a dense pattern from the columns without the crochet according to the scheme described in the first method. When the product is finished, you need to sew connected ears (round in mice, long with rabbits), crests in chicks and make muzzles: it is enough to make eyes, noses and beaks. The final stroke will be the paws (only the upper ones are sufficient), wings and tails. It remains to put the funny figures on the festive table.

Method three: the main part

And how to crochet Easter eggs, if you want to make them delicate, airy and transparent, in the form of a case for a real egg? It's still simpler here. Take a beautiful fine yarn, for example "Iris", a thin hook (you can take 1.5 mm), boiled egg. An air loop is triggered, two more loops are typed into it, and ten posts without a crochet are sewn into the second loop. At the end of the row, knitting closes in a circle. Now the second row: one loop for lifting, a column in the connecting loop, after that three air loops are connected in a circle, connected with a column with the previous row. So to the end, all ten arches. In the third row, four air hinges are knitted, then a column in the arch of the second row, all the same ten arches will be obtained, already four loops in each. The next five rows are knitted equally: in each arch, five air loops are fastened, and each of them is connected with the previous row by means of a column without a crochet. Arches are still ten.

Cover for eggs

Now that the Easter eggs are crocheted almost, you can start making a "lid". The same first loop is made exactly as in the beginning of knitting, two more are sewn into it, five bars are made in the resulting chain without the crochet, everything closes into a circle with the help of a connecting column. Now you need to collect four air loops, connect them with a column with the next loop of the row, and thus, only five arches are bound. After that, the thread can be cut off, the tail can be fixed and hidden.

Connection halves

It remains only to connect the Easter eggs crocheted (the patterns for such knitting are always very simple and understandable). This can be done in two ways: using a tape or a simple seam thread and a needle. If everything is clear with a needle, then the tape is a little more complicated. The bottom part of knitting is taken, a boiled egg is poured into it, covered with a lid. Now the halves are connected with a thin satin ribbon, which, with the help of a hook, must be passed through the arches of both parts of the knitted egg. Ribbon is tied with a bow, so that it can be easily disbanded. It remains only to put the resulting beauty on the table.
