Spring is approaching and the brightest and most joyful Christian holiday. Needlewomen take up crocheting for Easter. This exciting activity will drag on for more than one evening, and the variety of options is amazing.

Simple egg

Do you want to give an unusual gift? Crocheted Easter eggs will surely surprise your loved ones. To begin with, let's consider the simplest schemes. For work, we take threads with a density of 50 g per 133 meters and a hook size 3, 5. You will also need a filler.

• 1 row: make 7 stitches into a loop and tighten into a circle.
• 2 row: from each loop we knit 2.
• 3 row: just work each stitch.
• 4 row: increase through 1 loop.
• 5 row: knit all loops.
• 6 row: inc after 2 sts.
• 7-12 rows: knit.
• 13 row: dec every 5 sts.
• 14 row: knit as is.
• 15 row: decrease after 2 loops.
• 16 row: decrease through 1 loop.
• 17 row: make a decrease and fill the testicle.
• 18 onwards: decrease until the holewill close.

The egg is ready. This simple scheme is suitable for those who are just going through the first lessons. Crochet for beginners, knitting is simple, besides, there are many similar patterns in open sources.

Variations

Crochet for Easter doesn't have to be boring. Even a simple egg can be turned into a real masterpiece. Create products in different colors that match with each other. They can become an indispensable interior decoration for the holiday or a nice gift. Take fantasy yarn “grass”, boucle, or simple, but with sectional dyeing. By interspersing multi-colored pieces of thread, stripes or specks will be obtained. Show your imagination and a funny picture will appear on the egg.

Satin ribbons and lace are perfect for decorating the finished work. Glitter and charm will be added by rhinestones or a small scattering of beads. It is worth sticking eyes and embroidering a mouth - and this is already a revived character. Children can be actively involved in the manufacture and design. They will definitely enjoy working together with their mother and feel their involvement in the holiday fuss.

Openwork case

This case can be put on an artificial blank, but it will also fit for a real boiled egg. And after the holiday, it can be postponed until next year. This Easter crochet is thinner, you will need cotton threads and hook 1, 5.

• 1 row: connect 10 air loops into a ringlet.
• 2 row: tie the resulting circle with 14 columns.
• 3row: we make 10 loops in a chain, then a column with a double crochet, then another 5 loops in a chain. So until the end of the row, and then you need to make 4 air loops and finish with a connecting column.
• 4 row: knit 5 columns into the resulting arch, and from each loop of the bottom row we will make an increase.
• 5 row: 4 sts, then double crochet alternates with 2 chain stitches.
• 6 row: 14 chain loops, a column over 2 columns with a crochet, repeat alternations to the end of the row. Here you can adjust the size, if the egg is small, knit less stitches.
• 7 row: we make arches of 10 stitches.
• 8 row: arches of 3 stitches. This row is designed to pull off the egg case.

This is a very fun way to crochet Easter eggs. Knitting patterns are simple. The only difficulty is working with a thin thread. But you can easily find many more different schemes, experiment with different patterns and create your own unique holiday style that will become your original idea.

Easter basket

The eggs are ready, and to make them look even more beautiful, you will need a crochet basket. To make it, you can use any thick thread.

1. 7 columns are connected into a tightening ring. Further, we knit all the time behind the back wall.
2. From each loop we make 2.
3. Increase after 1 stitch.
4. 4–9 rows knit like this: we make an increase every 2 loops, but more is possible ifI want to make a larger basket.
5. Decrease after 7 loops.
6. 11-20 rows knit without increments just up - these are the walls of the future basket.
7. 3 sts in chain pick up the row, then the basket is knitted with double crochets, with the addition of loops. We do this by alternating 6 columns.
8. We knit the fabric as it is, with 1 crochet, finish knitting.

We make a lapel from the wide part, connected with double crochets. Now it remains to design the handle. We connect 8 loops into a ring, but do not tighten it much, then we just knit up with simple columns until a sufficient length is reached. Sew a handle to the base. For stability, you can insert a wire frame into the last one. An excellent crochet basket for Easter eggs is ready.

Ryaba Hen

Let's look at more crochet crafts for Easter and knit corydalis.

1. In the loop we make 16 columns with one crochet.
2. Rows 2-4 are made out with simple columns.
3. 9 loops in a row we knit with increments, the rest are simple.
4. 6-7 rows knit in a circle.
5. 4 times increase through the loop, 11 increases in a row, 4 more increases through the loop.
6. 3 chain stitches, double crochet through 2 stitches of the previous row.

11. We knit the 15th in the same way, only instead of simple columns we use double crochet elements.

We make a tail, wings and comb with arches, sew on black bead eyes. The chicken can be put just like that or put directly on the egg.

Easter Bunny

Crochet toys for Easter will perfectly complement the festive composition. The Easter Bunny is not traditional for our country, but is gradually gaining popularity. Cute eared will please everyone. It is very easy to knit.

First you need 2 round knitted blanks: one is larger, the other is smaller. This will be the head and torso. They are knitted according to the technology of simple eggs, only with a uniform decrease. To calculate correctly, you can read the diagram in the opposite direction. Don't forget to leave a hole for stuffing. The ring is pulled together last. The threads can not be hidden, but left long for subsequent stitching of parts.

Small parts of a rabbit

To tie the paws, we start in the same way.

• 1-3 rows - repeat the old pattern.
• We make 8 additions of loops in a row, the rest we just knit.
• 5-6 rows knit as is.
• Decrease after 3 stitches. Then - through 2 loops. The foot is ready.

We also knit 3 more blanks and create another one slightly smaller for the tail.

What is a rabbit without ears? The basis is a chain of 12 air loops. Next, we make 5 columns with a crochet, a half-column and 7 columns, turnwork and knit everything in reverse order.

The last step is to connect all the details into a single whole. We attach eyes to the rabbit and embroider the nose. The cute Easter bunny is ready.
