Knitted cover "Chicken" for Easter eggs - master class

The beginning will be that we will make a loop-ring, winding the thread around the finger, we will make 6 single crochets (sc) into it (in the ring).
1 row. 6 sb.




Next, we will knit the next row in a spiral, without making an air lift loop (runway)

In each column we will make two sc.

We make two columns in one through the column.

We do two to one through two columns.

We do two to one every three columns.

We do two to one every four columns.
7 row. 36 sc.
8 row. 36 + 6 = 42 sc. We do two to one every five columns.

12 row. 42 - 2 = 40 sc. Let's skip every 20th column without knitting.
13 row. 40 sc. Cut and fasten the thread

We crocheted the bottom of the egg case.
Now let's move on to the upper, pointed part. The beginning is the same as at the bottom.
1 - 3 rows. Repeat as for the bottom part.
4 row. 18 sb.
5 row. 18 + 6 = 24 sc.

7 row. 24 + 6 = 30 sc.

9 row. 30 + 6 = 36 sc.
10 - 11 rows. 36 sc.
12 row. 36 + 4 = 40 sc. Let's add to every ninth column.
13 row. 40 sc. Cut and tighten the thread.

Let's make eyes and a comb. We take ready-made eyes, glass on a metal hairpin, we knit the base for the eye from white yarn. We collect 6 sbn into the thread ring and cut the thread, thread the hairpin into the middle and bend it from the inside out.

For the scallop, take the red thread. Let's make a loop at the very end and stretch it from the inside out where the scallop will pass.








1 row. 6 in.
2 row. 1 ch, 3 dc (double crochet) in one ch of the bottom row, 1 cn (connecting loop), 3 dc in one loop, 1 cn, 3 dc in one loop, 1 cn. Cut the thread, fasten, hide inside.

It remains to solve the issue of stability of the chicken cover, for this we will make paws and a tail for it. We knit them in the same way as the beak, only the tail is yellow, and the paws are red.
1 row. 5 sc.
2 row. 5 + 3 = 8 sc.
3 row. 8 sb.

We sew all three "spare parts" to the bottom part of the cover, having previously stuffed it with padding polyester.

At the top of the bottom we will tie with "feathers".

Make the seam not long, but 2-2.5 centimeters.

Crocheted cover is ready. You can put an egg there and give it to relatives and friends!
And it's also very nice

And why, where did such a tradition come from? There is a legend that when Mary Magdalene came to Rome with a sermon on the teachings of Jesus Christ, she managed to approach the emperor Tiberius. She handed him an egg as a gift as a symbol of eternal life and exclaimed "Christ is risen!". Tiberius did not believe and said that, "Rather this egg will turn red than the dead one will rise!" After that, the egg really turned red. Since then, it has become customary to give eggs to each other on Easter, paint them, at first it was only red, later the eggs began to be painted in different bright colors, just decorate them, then they began to make them from various materials, wood, papier-mâché and even to knit.
I propose to crochet Easter eggs, diagrams and a master class with step-by-step photos will help you in this work. Next, fill it with synthetic winterizer or other filler, because such an egg will not break and will be a nice toy for the baby.

The egg turned out to be 7 cm in height and 5 cm in width. Now, to make the eggs festive, you can embroider XV, which means - Christ is Risen!

You can sheathe it with beads or tie it with a contrasting thread with an openwork mesh, it's a matter of your imagination and taste.
Consider the simplest option for decorating a knitted Easter egg with an openwork mesh. To do this, take the yarn Alize DIVA Missisipi.

We make a ring into which we will dial 8 RLS, then we knit according to the scheme.

1 row. 8 sc.
2 row. 3 lifting air loops (runway), in each column we make 1 double crochet (CH) and between them 1 VP (air loop).

and from there 6 VP, 1 RLS for the top of the loop.

5 row. 3 sc for a chain of ch, 7 ch, 1 sc for the top of the chain, so to the end of the row.




6 row. 3 sc for a chain of ch, 6 ch, 1 sc for the top of the chain. We put the mesh on the egg and continue to knit already on it.

7 row. 3 sc for the chain, 4 ch, 1 sc for the top of the chain and so on until the end of the row.
8 row. 3 sc for the chain, 3 ch, 1 sc for the top of the chain and so on until the end of the row.




9 row. 1 SC for the chain, 1 VP, 1 SC for the top of the chain and so on until the end of the row.

When the row is completed, we tighten the thread, fasten it and, cutting it off, hide it. These beautiful Easter eggs can be crocheted for the holiday, thanks to this master class.

Joy to you and a happy celebration of the bright Easter day!

simple egg

Want to give an unusual gift? Crocheted ones 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 with a size of 3.5. You will also need a filler.

• 1 row: we make 7 columns in a loop and tighten in a circle.
• 2 row: from each loop we knit 2.
• 3 row: just knit each loop.
• 4 row: additions must be done through 1 loop.
• 5 row: we knit all the loops.
• 6 row: we add through 2 loops.

• 14 row: knit as is.
• 15 row: decrease after 2 loops.
• 16th row: decrease through 1 loop.

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

Variations

Crocheting 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 like to work together with their mother and feel their involvement in the festive fuss.

openwork case

Such a case can be put on an artificial blank, but it will also work for a real boiled egg. And after the holiday, it can be postponed until next year. This crochet for Easter is thinner, you will need cotton threads and a hook 1.5.

• 1 row: 10 air loops are connected into a ring.
• 2 row: we tie the resulting circle with 14 columns.
• 3 row: 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 complete
• 4 row: we knit 5 columns into the resulting arch, and from each loop of the bottom row we will make an increase.
• 5 row: 4 lifting loops, then the double crochet alternates with 2 air loops.
• 6 row: 14 air loops, a column over the 2nd column with a crochet, repeat the alternations to the end of the row. Here you can adjust the size, if the egg is small, knit less air loops.
• 7 row: we make arches from 10 air loops.
• 8 row: arches of 3 air loops. This row is designed to pull off the cover on the egg.

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

Easter basket

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

1. We connect 7 columns into a tightening ring. Further, all the time we knit for the back wall.
2. From each loop we make 2.
3. Increase through 1 loop.
4. We knit rows 4-9 as follows: we make an increase every 2 loops, but more can be done if you want to make a larger basket.
5. Decrease after 7 loops.
6. We knit rows 11-20 without increments just up - these are the walls of the future basket.
7. 3 loops of the chain raise 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 columns with 1 crochet, we 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.

Hen Ryaba

Consider more crochet crafts for Easter and knit corydalis.

1. In the loop we make 16 columns with one crochet.
2. We draw rows 2-4 with simple columns.
3. We knit 9 loops in a row with increments, the rest are simple.
4. 6-7 rows knit in a circle.
5. 4 times we add through the loop, 11 increases in a row, 4 more increases through the loop.
6. 3 air loops, double crochet through 2 loops of the previous row.
7. In 1 arch we make a column, in the next - 5 such elements with a double crochet.
8. From 3 loops we make a column, and in the hole we should get 6 such elements with a double crochet.
9. We make rows 12, 13 in the same way, only we knit 7 columns with a double crochet.
10. We knit the 14th row, as the 11th.
11. We knit the 15th in the same way, only instead of simple columns we use double crochet elements.

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

Easter Bunny

The festive composition will be perfectly complemented by toys for the Easter Bunny, which is not traditional for our country, but is gradually gaining popularity. Cute eared will please everyone. It is very easy to tie it.

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. 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.
• We knit rows 5-6 as is.
• We make a decrease through 3 loops. Then - through 2 loops. The paw 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 half-columns and 7 columns, turn the work and knit everything in the 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.

Crocheting for Easter will bring the whole family together in preparation for the holiday and help create a bright and joyful atmosphere at home. A lot of different ideas and patterns will help to decorate the festive table in an original way, to pleasantly surprise your guests.
