Instructions
Step 1
Draw a sketch of the future product and make a prototype of the canvas. You can crochet an Easter egg from melange yarn, boucle, acrylic with lurex, "grass". A great option is a few trinkets of different colors from a smooth thread.
Step 2
Make two chain stitches and close them into a ring. Work 7 single crochets and start circular knitting with 7 increments in the second row. To add one thread bow, skip the lower loop and immediately make a couple of single crochets in the loop of the lower row (there should be 14 in total).
Step 3
Work the third row with single crochets, and in the next round alternate between increments and simple stitches until you increase the number of thread bows to 21. Follow this pattern for eight rows, each time increasing the number of loops in even circles. Thus, in the sixth, an increase and 2 single crochets alternate, in the eighth - an increase and 3 columns. By the beginning of the ninth circle, the fabric should consist of 35 thread arms.
Step 4
Continue to knit the Easter egg up to row 15 without any increments. From the 16th circle, begin to consistently make decreases in each even row - skip the lower column, then knit one. Do the following alternations: decrease, 5 single crochet; 17 circle with single crochet; 18 - decrease, 4 columns and further according to the sample. When there are 15 loops left in the fabric, set aside knitting.
Step 5
Prepare the filler: cut the foam rubber, or replace it with padding polyester, cotton wool, rags, scraps of yarn. Stuff the Easter egg tightly with the soft filling and cover the remaining hole in two circles, making only subtractions. Cut the working thread and hide it inside the product.
Step 6
Tie other eggs for Easter using the finished pattern. If a plain yarn was used as a working one, you can beautifully decorate souvenirs to your taste with beads, embroidery, beads. Trinkets, even not decorated, will look spectacular in homemade coasters made from shortened paper towel sleeves. Wrap each with strips of tissue colored paper and tie nicely with ribbons.
