Easter is no exception in this regard. Since boiled eggs are considered the main symbol of this holiday, they can be decorated first of all. So, how to crochet Easter eggs?

Jewelry Options

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

Method one, classic

How to crochet Easter eggs? Fits indense product, stuffed with padding polyester, decorated. To do this, you will need any yarn you like, simple or sectional, a suitable hook, a synthetic winterizer for stuffing. A chain of seven air loops is dialed, closed in a ring. The same number of single crochets are knitted in the second row. The next row already consists of fourteen loops. The fourth row is also fourteen. In the fifth row, again you need to add seven single crochets. The sixth row repeats the same number - 21 loops. In the seventh row, again adding 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, the same number begins to decrease as it was added, that is, seven loops. The fifteenth row consists of 21 loops, in the sixteenth the number decreases again, to fourteen. The seventeenth is knitted without changes, the eighteenth reduces the number of loops by seven. Now the egg can be filled with filler. In the nineteenth row, each column is knitted through the loop of the previous row, and all remaining loops are pulled together. The thread is fixed. That's it, work is done.

Second method

How to crochet Easter eggs if you want something more original? You can make stuffed animal figurines. Bright and colorful, they will decorate any table. Yellow chickens, white bunnies and mice will please both adults and kids. The body of the figurine is knitted with a dense pattern of single crochets according to the pattern described in the first method. Whenthe product will be finished, you need to sew on connected ears (round for mice, long for hares), crests for chickens and make faces: it is enough to make eyes, noses and beaks. The finishing touch will be the paws (only the top ones are enough), wings and tails. It remains to put funny figurines on the festive table.

Third method: main part

And how to crochet Easter eggs if you want to make them openwork, airy and transparent, in the form of a case for a real egg? It's even easier here. A beautiful thin yarn is taken, for example "Iris", a thin hook (you can take 1.5 mm), a boiled egg. An air loop is knitted, two more loops are typed into it, and ten single crochets are knitted 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 into a connecting loop, then three air loops are knitted in a circle, connecting with a column to the previous row. So to the end, all ten arches. In the third row, four air loops are knitted, then a column into the arch of the second row, all the same ten arches will turn out, already four loops in each. The next five rows are knitted in the same way: five air loops are knitted in each arch, and each of them is connected to the previous row using a single crochet. There are still ten arches.

Egg cover

Now that the crocheted Easter eggs are almost crocheted, you can start making the "cap". Made exactly the samethe first loop, as at the beginning of knitting, two more are knitted into it, five single crochets are made into the resulting chain, everything is closed in a circle with the help of a connecting column. Now you need to dial four air loops, connect them with a column to the next loop of the row, and thus knit a total of five arches. After that, the thread can be cut off, the tail fastened and hidden.

Connecting halves

It remains only to connect the crocheted Easter eggs (the patterns for such knitting are always very simple and understandable). This can be done in two ways: with a tape or a simple seam with a thread and a needle. If everything is clear with a needle, then with a tape it is a little more complicated. The lower part of the knitting is taken, a boiled egg is put 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. The ribbon should be tied with a bow so that it can be easily dissolved. It remains only to put the resulting beauty on the table.
