Openwork crochet binding for Easter and souvenir eggs _ Large selection of ideas and patterns. Learning to tie an Easter egg with beads using the example of the “Flower garden
Having certain skills and abilities, you can make something incredible and beautiful for any holiday that can improve the mood of both the owners of the house and guests. Easter in this sense is no exception. Since boiled eggs are considered the main symbol of this holiday, first of all you can decorate them. So how to crochet Easter eggs?
Decoration 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 festive symbols themselves, but also to add original 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 A dense product is knitted, stuffed with padding polyester, decorated. To do this, you 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 into a ring. The second row knits the same number of single crochets. The next row already consists of fourteen loops. The fourth row is also fourteen. In the fifth row, add seven single crochets again. The sixth row repeats the same number - 21 loops. In the seventh row, there is again an addition of 7 columns, that is, in every third loop, a column is added. The result is twenty-eight stitches. From the eighth to the thirteenth row, this number is repeated, and from the fourteenth it begins to decrease as much as it 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 knitted without changes, the eighteenth reduces the number of loops by seven. The egg can now 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 secured. That's it, the work is over.
Method two
How to crochet Easter eggs if you want something more original? You can make stuffed animal figurines. Bright and colorful, they will brighten any table. Yellow chicks, white bunnies and mice will delight both adults and kids. The body of the figure is knitted with a dense pattern of single crochets according to the scheme described in the first method. When the product is finished, you need to sew on the tied ears (round in mice, long in hares), tufts in chickens and make muzzles: just make eyes, noses and beaks. The finishing touch will be the legs (only the upper ones are enough), wings and tails. It remains to put 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 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 drawn into it, and ten single crochet stitches are knitted into the second loop. At the end of the row, knitting is closed in a circle. Now the second row: one loop for lifting, a column in a connecting loop, then three air loops are knitted in a circle, connecting with a column to the previous row. So until 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 are obtained, already four loops in each. The next five rows are knitted in the same way: in each arch, five air loops are knitted, and each of them is connected to the previous row with a single crochet. There are still ten arches.
Egg lid
Now that the Easter eggs are almost crocheted, you can start making the "cap". Exactly the same first loop is made 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 Now you need to dial four air loops, connect them with a column with the next loop of the row, and so knit only five arches. After that, the thread can be cut off, the tail can be fixed and hidden.
Connection of halves
It remains only to connect crocheted Easter eggs (patterns for such knitting are always very simple and straightforward). 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 knitting is taken, a boiled egg is inserted into it, and covered with a lid. Now the halves are connected with a thin satin ribbon, which must be crocheted through the arches of both parts of the knitted egg. Tie the ribbon with a bow so that you can easily dissolve it. It remains only to put the resulting beauty on the table.
We will knit like this clothes for eggs... Please note that the calculation of the loops is given for a specific egg and exactly the same thickness of the thread as indicated below.
During crochet egg tying schemeyou may need to adjust to make the garment sit tight.
For work, prepare the following materials:
Hook number 1.5
Yarn thickness 8
Narrow satin ribbon (approximately 0.5 cm)

In this master class, we will learn how to tie a column of beads around eggs. Also, using the techniques shown in this master class, you can tie the eggs with beads "Russian" or, with or without a lifting loop, of course, with some changes. However, since when knitting in the "Russian" way with a lifting loop, the beads lie very tightly to each other and fit in rows, this is the reason for the choice of this particular technique as an example.
The advantage of a tied egg over a braided egg is not only in the convenience and speed of knitting, but also in its plasticity, i.e. the knitted fabric fits the workpiece very well, without requiring a particularly careful calculation of the beads when the braid narrows-expands - i.e. you can draw up a diagram in advance and be sure that it does not have to be adjusted during the tying process.
All pictures are clickable (when clicked, they increase)
In order to tie an egg, we need:
Egg preparation (in the example 33x46 mm)
- Czech beads # 10 or Japanese # 11 corresponding to the color scheme
- thread for knitting about a thickness of # 20 (in the example, two-fold lavsan threads # 40)
- crochet hook with head size 0.5-0.7 mm
- a needle for a set of beads
(site master classes site)
PROCEDURE FOR Tying EGGS:
1. We measure the egg - in order to calculate the number of rows of beads in height and the number of beads in each row, we need to know the dimensions of the fit of the egg in height and width. The easiest way to identify them with a thread is to make a knot at one end of the thread, wrap the thread around the egg blank, mark and, applying to the ruler, we see how much the length of the egg will fit in height and width:
In the example, the dimensions are as follows:
The egg girth is 12.8 cm high, we need half the girth - this is 6.4 cm.
- egg girth 10.6 cm wide
2. We calculate the number of rows and the number of beads in each row... This amount depends not only on the size of the egg blank, but also on the density of knitting plus an allowance for fitting the knitted fabric on the egg. I highly recommend that you first tie the pattern, attach it to the egg, and then, taking into account the bends and fit, you will know the knitting density by 1 cm in width and height. For me it is 5.8 rows of beads 1 cm high and 5.3 beads 1 cm wide.
So, we count:
The height in the scheme will be 6.4 * 5.8 \u003d 37.12 \u003d 37 rows
- the width will be 10.6 * 5.3 \u003d 56.18 \u003d 56 beads
Next, we need to calculate the expansion and contraction of the egg sheath. Because the narrowing and expansion of rounded workpieces such as beads is made with wedges (see the master class), and the optimal number of wedges when tying a small egg is 5 or 6, then the width of the pattern should be made a multiple of 5 or 6.
I chose 5 wedges, so in the example in width, the circle of the braid will be 55 beads (this is closer to the calculated number 56).
The number of rows in height remains 37, but we need to determine which rows will correspond to the top, bottom and belt of the egg.
Usually, the top of the egg occupies 1/3 of half the girth of the egg height (in the example this turns out to be 37 * 1/3 \u003d 12.33 \u003d 12 rows), respectively, the bottom and the belt of the egg together occupy 2/3 of half the girth of the egg height (in the example, this is 37 * 2/3 \u003d 24.67 \u003d 25 rows).
(site master classes site)
The bottom of the egg is tied like a ball, therefore, taking into account the number of wedges, we see that with a width of 55 beads, the bottom will occupy 10 rows, respectively, the belt will occupy 15 rows.
The top of the egg has the shape of an elongated ball, therefore, when calculating wedges on it, we are added to the standard 10 rows, just add two more rows additionally (12-10 \u003d 2 rows) closer to the belt - i.e. Rows 26 and 27 will have the same number of beads in a circle, and rows 28 and 29 will also be the same.
3. Draw a diagram taking into account all our calculations:
The diagram can be drawn in programs:
Programs for creating mosaic paintings, for example, BeadsWicker - for the "Russian" method with a lifting loop
- jbead - a program for thick harnesses, for the "Russian" method without a lifting loop, in a spiral
- programs for cross stitching, for example, Pattern_Maker - for the "English" way.
4. We collect beads. Because knit will be a circular fabric from the bottom of the egg, then the direction of the set from top to bottom from right to left. If you type from left to right, then the picture will be mirrored to that on the diagram. If you type from the bottom up, then knitting will have to start from the top of the egg, which I do not recommend, because the upper part of the egg requires a better fit, so it is better to tie it in place, having already inserted the blank into part of the finished braid.
5. We knit the first row - in order to get a neat little hole at the beginning of knitting, we will knit the first row on a loop (see the master class):
Next, I will show a slightly different principle of adding beads in wedges, not the one described or.
To do this, in the first row we knit 5 columns with beads and 5 columns without beads, alternating them. We start with a column without beads:
This is followed by a column with beads:
And so five times:
We tighten the loop:
So, we have knitted 10 stitches in total.
(site master classes site)
6. We knit the second row:
Lifting loop (how to knit with a lifting loop in the "Russian" way, see):
In the loop of the first column of the first row (it is without beads) we knit two columns - first a column without beads, then a column with beads:
And then we knit one column with beads into the loop of the second column of the first row (it is with beads):
Such an openwork Easter composition will delight the eye for a long time, decorating the interior. These crocheted eggs are very lightweight, so you can safely hang them on a houseplant to create an Easter tree. To knit such an egg is within the power of anyone who is at least a little familiar with crocheting techniques. In this master class, we will look at three egg binding patterns.
The following materials and tools will be required:
- chicken eggs;
- hook;
- threads "Iris";
- starch and water;
- toothpicks.
First, we will prepare the base that we will tie. We need to free the raw egg from its inner contents, leaving a whole shell. To do this, pierce one hole with a thick needle at the sharp and blunt end of the egg, slightly expanding the holes.
Now we pierce the yolk and blow out all the contents from the shell. It remains to rinse the inside of the egg well. We perform all actions very carefully so as not to damage the shell. Such a base can be stored for years, as it does not deteriorate.
First pattern.
We knit the pattern as follows.
We knit a chain of five loops, connect it into a ring.
We make 2 air loops (vp) for lifting. With the second row, we knit 15 double crochets into this ring (st / sn). We close the row with a connecting loop.
Again two vp. lifting. In the 3rd row, we knit in every third loop of the previous row a group of three st / sn, two air loops, three st / sn. Such a group of loops will be repeated further in each row. We close the row.
In the 4th row, we make lifting loops, we knit the already familiar groups of 3 st / sn, 2 vp, 3 st / ch in each arch formed by the air loops of the previous row. We knit 2 vp between these groups.
We knit the 5th row in the same way as the fourth, only between the groups we do 3 vp.
In the sixth row between the groups we knit 4 vp, in the seventh - 5 vp.
Now we are trying on knitting on the basis - an egg shell. The egg continues to expand, which means the next row will be from groups of loops with 6 vp. between them. Add one air loop between groups in each row until the egg expands. You may need to adjust the number of stitches in the row, as eggs are larger and smaller.
At the point of narrowing, we will gradually decrease the number of air loops between the groups. At the same time, we do not take out the egg from knitting, we knit directly on it.
In the last row, we make two st / sn in each arch of the group of loops of the previous row. We close the row, cut the thread and pull out the tip, completing the knitting.
The first type of lace is ready.
Second pattern.
The strapping occurs according to the same principle as in the first pattern - first we add the number of loops, at the narrowing of the egg we subtract.
We knit the second pattern according to the scheme.
We connect a chain of five loops into a ring. In the 2nd row, we knit 14 double crochet loops and one air loop between them. At the beginning of each row, do not forget to make a lifting loop.
In the 3rd row, in each column, we make a column with three crochets and two air loops between them.
In the 4th row, in each loop of the previous row, we knit one st / sn.
In the fifth row we knit 5 vp. and 1 single crochet in the third loop of the previous row. We continue to knit like this until the end of the row - 5 vp. and 1 single crochet in every third loop.
In the sixth row, we knit five VP, and we will make a single crochet in the middle of the arch of the previous row. We repeat to the end of the row.
We repeat the actions in the seventh and eighth rows.
Trying on an egg. Surely it began to narrow, so we continue to knit on the basis. In the next row, in the middle of each arch, we knit st / sn and 3 vp. between them.
In the tenth row in each loop of the previous row we knit st / sn, in the eleventh - columns with three crochets in every third column of the previous row and three vp. between them. Number of VP between the columns can be reduced if the egg is already strongly narrowed. Try to braid it tightly enough.
In the next row we knit st / sn between the columns of the previous row and 1-2 vp. between them. Number of VP vary depending on the size of the egg.
We finish knitting with a row of double crochets between the columns of the previous row. We break off the thread, pull it out.
Third pattern.
The scheme by which we will knit the pattern.
We knit 5 vp, we connect them in a ring. We make lifting loops at the beginning of each row. In the 2nd row, we knit 14 st / sn into this ring. In the 3rd row in each column of the previous row we knit st / sn, after 3 st / ch we will make 2 vp. We alternate st / sn with air loops to the end of the row.
4th row. In each column of the previous row we knit st / sn, and after 3 st / ch we knit 3 vp. We alternate 3 st / s and 3 vp. to the end of the row.
Fifth row. We knit the columns with crochets in the columns of the previous row. * 3 st / sn, 2 vp, 1 single crochet in the middle of the arch of the previous row, 2 vp. * Repeat rapport to the end of the row.
In each row above the double crochet we will knit the same st / sn. And a pattern will form between them.
Seventh row. 3 st / sn, 3 vp, single crochet in the middle of the arch, 3 vp. Etc.
We knit the eighth row in the same way as the previous one.
Trying on an egg, most likely you need to start reducing the knitting width.
We continue to knit the pattern in a mirror image.
We knit row 10 like 8, 11 - like 7, 12 - like 6. And so we continue to knit the pattern in a mirror image until the whole egg is tied.
We have embodied three types of patterns, now we turn them into airy openwork accessories. To give rigidity, knit directly on the egg with starch. For rigid fixation of the product, the starch solution is prepared at the rate of: 2 tbsp. starch per 1 liter of water. We measure out the required amount of cold water. Dilute the required amount of starch with cold water to a thick sour cream. Boil the remaining water, turn off the stove and pour the prepared starch into the water. We carefully alter.
When the starch cools down to a warm state, we lower the eggs into it, let the threads get wet and soaked.
After that, take out the eggs, remove the excess starch and leave them to dry.
When the threads are dry, free the openwork from the shell. Carefully slip a toothpick between the threads and the shell, separating them from each other. Now you can break the shell and pull out small particles through the holes in the pattern.
During this procedure, try not to spoil the rigid shape of the threads.
Decorative Easter eggs are ready. Use them as decorations for Easter. And for table decor, you can put them in such a delicate vase. A master class on knitting this openwork vase.
I wish you creative inspiration!
Easter is a great excuse to do handicrafts: decorate your home and make thematic souvenirs for your family and friends with your own hands. The traditional symbol of the holiday is the Easter egg. Every year we carefully put them in an Easter basket in order to consecrate them in church, give them to relatives, and decorate them in various ways.
In this master class, you will see how you can make an exquisite Easter egg decor using openwork crochet.
This method can be used to decorate both blown and hard-boiled eggs, since, unlike decor using paints and glue, the method is absolutely harmless. In order for the egg to be easy to reach and eat later, the strapping is done for three quarters of the egg. It is also convenient because such an elegant "clothing" for an egg can be used many times. For decoration, you will need very little bobbin thread # 10 or leftover thin yarn, such as iris. The finished harness can be additionally decorated with beads, although the openwork knitting looks spectacular on its own. The master class is illustrated with many photos, so it will be clear to a beginner in crocheting too!
What do you need to work?
- hard boiled egg
- threads (in the master class, bobbin thread No. 10 is used)
- hook number 7 (1.5 mm)

s.p. \u003d connecting loop (half-column)
dv. Art. \u003d double crochet (double crochet)
tr. Art. \u003d triple crochet (double crochet)
So, let's begin!
Row 1. Tie a chain of 10 vp, connect the ends of the st to make a ring.
Row 2. Knit fourteen sts through the center of the ring. b / n., connect the first and last loops of the row of sp.
Row 3. Knit a chain of 10 vp, skip one loop and in the next knit tr. Art. Next, tie a chain of 5 vp, skip one loop and in the next knit tr. Art., repeat to the end of the row. At the end, instead of tr. Art., close the row by tying sp. in the 4th loop of the first chain of 10 loops.
Row 4. Knit art. b / n in the first 5 loops, when you reach tr. Art. from the previous row, in this loop, knit 2 tbsp. b / n. Repeat this to the end of the row, at the end - sp.
Row 5.Knit a chain of 5 vp, skip one loop and in the next knit dv. Art. Next, knit a chain of 2 vp, skip one loop and in the next knit dv. Art., repeat this to the end of the row. At the end, instead of dv. Art., close the row by tying sp. in the 3rd loop of the first chain of 5 loops.
Row 6. Tie a chain of 14 ch. and connect it to a row by knitting st. b / n in the loop corresponding to the 2nd dv. Art., which we knitted in the previous row (1st dv. Art. skip). Continue this to the end of the row, at the end - sp. in the first loop of the row. On this row, you can adjust the knitting to the size of the egg, if it is small, you can make a chain of 10-12 loops.
Row 7.Knit a chain of 6 ch. and connect to the center of the first chain from the previous row of st. b / n. Next, knit a chain of 10 vp. and connect to the center of the next chain from the previous row of st. b / n, continue this way to the end of the row. Here you can also vary the number of chain loops, depending on the size of the egg.
Row 8. Knit a chain of 4 ch, connect it to the center of the first chain from the previous row of st. b / n. Knit a chain of 3 ch and connect to the center of the next chain from the previous row of st. b / n., continue on the same way. Thus, our knitting is pulled together and we get a kind of openwork case for ¾ eggs. Before closing the row, insert the egg and make sure the harness matches its shape. If not, dissolve 1-2 rows and correct the shape. From somewhere in the middle of the row, continue knitting on the egg itself. Close the knitting and carefully thread the end of the thread so that it does not stick out.
That's all! This is how the final result looks so beautiful and elegant!
In the same way, you can tie not only an egg, but also, for example, a Christmas tree ball or sea stones.
