Every year there are more and more ideas for decorating for all sorts of holidays, and Easter is no exception. What needlewomen do not come up with to decorate the house. I offer you one of many ideas - crochet Easter eggs.
To knit this craft, we need a crochet hook number 3, synthetic winterizer and yarn. The most optimal yarn is sectionally dyed, because smooth color transitions look very unusual and beautiful. But do not be upset if she is not there. You can make your own multi-colored threads. Of course, don't expect smooth transitions, but such a craft will look extraordinary. Simply knit pieces of yarn in different, matching colors, then roll everything into a ball.
Legend:
- vp - air loop;
- RLS - single crochet.
So, to begin with, as always, you need to dial an air chain. In our case, we collect 4 VP, after which we close them into a ring using a connecting post.
We begin the first row: 7 RLS need to be knitted not in loops, but in a ring of air loops.
2 row: now it is necessary to knit 2 sc in the formed loops. As a result, you get 14 sc, that is, 2 sc for 1 loop of the previous row.
3 row: in the third row we do not add anything, that is, we knit 14 RLS.
4 row: in this row we must add 7 loops, that is, we need to add 1 sc in 1 loop, that is, first 2 sc in the loop of the previous row, then 1 sc and so on. In other words, we alternate.
5 row: we knit without additions, that is, 21 sc.
6 row: you need to add 7 more loops, which means that there should be an increase in every 3 column. 2 RLS in the column of the previous row, 2 RLS in the next 2 columns, then increase again. So until the end of the row. As a result, you should get 28 loops.
7-12 row: we knit 28 PRS.
13 row: now, respectively, there is a decrease. We decrease by the same amount as we added, that is, 7 loops. We knit 2 unfinished RLS together, then 2 RLS in the next 2 loops. And so we alternate until the end of the 13th row.
14 row: 21 PRS.
15 row: this row is similar to 13, only now we knit instead of 2 RLS 1. It will look like this: 2 unfinished RLS, knitted together, then 1 RLS in the loop of the previous row. Thus, we knit to the end of the row. At this stage, you need to start stuffing the craft.
16 row: 14 PRS.
17 row: we knit the whole row of 2 unfinished sc, knitted together.
Row 18: This is the last row, so the decrease will be slightly different. It is necessary to knit 1 RLS through the loop of the previous row. The remaining loops must be pulled together and the thread secured.
The crocheted Easter egg is ready!
