The egg is ready. This simple scheme is suitable for those who are just passing the first lessons. Crocheting for beginners is easy knitting , in addition, there are many similar schemes in open sources.

Variations

Crochet for Easter should not be boring. Even a simple egg can be turned into a real masterpiece. Create products of different colors that combine with each other. They can become an indispensable decoration of the interior for the holiday or a nice gift. Take fancy “grass” yarn, boucle or plain, but with sectional dyeing. By interspersing multi-colored pieces of thread, you will get stripes or spots. Show your imagination and a funny picture will appear on the egg.

Satin ribbons and lace are perfect for decorating the finished work. Rhinestones or a small scattering of beads will add sparkle and charm. It is worth sticking your eyes and embroidering your mouth - and this is already a revived character. Children can be actively involved in the manufacture and design. They will definitely like to work with their mother and feel their involvement in the festive fuss.

Openwork case

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

• 1 row: 10 air loops are connected in a ringlet.
• 2 row: we tie the resulting circle with 14 columns.
• 3 row: we make 10 loops in a chain, then a double crochet column, 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 the connecting column.
• 4 row: we knit 5 columns in the resulting arch, and from each loop of the lower row we make an increase.
• 5 row: 4 lifting loops, then the double crochet column alternates with 2 air loops.
• 6th row: 14 air loops, a column over 2 in a row with a crochet, repeat alternations until 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 decorate Easter eggs with a crochet. Knitting patterns are simple. The only difficulty is working with a thin thread. But you can easily find many more various patterns, experiment with different patterns and create your own unique holiday style, which will become your original idea.

Easter basket

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

1. 7 columns are connected in a tightening ring. Next, we knit all the time for the back wall.
2. From each loop we make 2.
3. Increase through 1 loop.
4. We knit 4-9 rows like this: we make an increase every 2 loops, but more can be done if you want to make a larger basket.
5. Decrease through 7 loops.
6. We knit 11–20 rows without increases just up - these are the walls of the future basket.
7. 3 loops of a chain raise a row, then the basket is knitted with double crochet, with the addition of loops. We do this by alternating 6 columns.
8. We knit the fabric as is, with columns with 1 yarn, complete the knitting.

We make a lapel from the wide part connected by columns with a crochet. Now it remains to design the handle. We connect 8 loops into a ring, but we do not tighten it much, then we simply knit upwards with simple columns until a sufficient length is gained. Sew to the base of the handle. It can be inserted into the last wire frame for stability. An excellent crochet basket for Easter eggs is ready.

Ryaba Chicken

We will also consider crocheting crafts for Easter and we will knit a crested cross.

1. In the loop we make 16 columns with one crochet.
2. Rows 2–4 are decorated with simple columns.
3. We knit 9 stitches in a row with increments, the rest is simple.
4. We knit 6-7 rows 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 double-crocheted elements.
8. From 3 loops we make a column, and in the hole should be 6 such elements with a double crochet.
9. 12, 13 rows are made in the same way, only we knit 7 double crochet stitches.
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 crocheted elements.

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

Easter bunny

Crochet toys for Easter will perfectly complement the festive composition . Easter bunny is not traditional for our country, but is gradually gaining popularity. A cute eared one will appeal to everyone. Linking it is very simple.

First you need 2 round knitted blanks: one larger, the other smaller. It will be the head and torso. They knit according to the technology of simple eggs, only with a uniform decrease. To calculate correctly, you can read the diagram in the opposite direction. Do not forget to leave a hole for stuffing. The ring is pulled in 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 are just knit.
• We knit 5-6 rows as is.
• We make the reduction through 3 loops. Then through 2 loops. The foot is ready.

We also knit 3 more blanks and create another slightly smaller size for the tail.

What a rabbit without ears? The basis is a chain of 12 air loops. Next, we make 5 double crochet, half-column and 7 double crochet, turn the work and knit everything in 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. Cute easter bunny is ready.
