The main Orthodox holiday, Easter, awaits us soon. He is very loved by all Christians.
For this holiday, eggs are painted in all sorts of shades and patterns, and raisin cakes are baked or bought. They are decorated with icing, confetti or powdered sugar on top. And many needlewomen decorate the house with crafts.
In the past, we have already offered several options for decorating your home for Easter. In this same article we will knit the main Easter pastry - Easter cake with our own hands.
Easter cake - diagram and step-by-step description of crochet
Let's start knitting an Easter Easter cake box. It will be a very good and practical gift on this great holiday, and will also be a great themed decor.
We will need:
- yarn of two colors (white and light brown);
- hook No. 3.5;
- plastic bottle (1 liter volume);
- lace braid;
- beads.
Stages of work:
To make the product dense, we knit it in 2 threads.
- From the amigurumi ring we knit 6 single crochets. Tighten the ring.
2. Continue knitting the circle up to 48 loops. There will be 8 rows in total. This will be the bottom of the cake.
3. Row 9: 48 single crochets behind the back wall.
5. We knit 13 rows, counting from the row knitted behind the back wall. This is what we got.
6. Turn the resulting cup inside out and hide the remaining threads.
7. Turn the cake back inside out.
8. Cut out the middle of the bottle.
If the diameter of the middle of the bottle is larger than the inside of the box. We cut it on the side and insert it inside.
We sewed:
10. Now let's start knitting the lid. To do this, we knit the same circle as for the bottom of the Easter cake.
13. Now we tie together the two parts of the box lid. This is done with single crochets.
14. The Easter cake cap is ready. All that remains is to decorate the sides with white fondant. We knit a single crochet. We skip one loop, yarn over, in the second loop - three double crochets. So we tie the entire edge of the Easter cake.
15. Sew the remaining three loops of the row to the side of the brown cup.
16. All we have to do is decorate the Easter cake with beads and lace braid.
17. You can have candy inside.
The gift is ready!
Master class: how to knit Easter cake and eggs for beginners?
We also bring to your attention an Easter composition with Easter cake and colorful colorful eggs. It will create a festive mood or be a lovely gift.
For crocheting Easter cakes, it is best to use 100% acrylic threads.
We will need:
- yarn: for Easter cake (white and brown), for eggs (your choice);
- hook No. 1.75;
- bugles or beads;
- padding polyester;
- cardboard.
Stages of work:
1. First we will tie the bottom of the Easter cake:
Row 1: Cast on 2 chain stitches. We insert a hook into the first one. We knit 6 single crochets.
2nd row: 6 increases. From each previous stitch we knit two single crochets. Total: 12 columns.
3rd row: Increases through the column. Total: 18 columns. Example, 1 single crochet, increase in the second column and so on for the entire row.
Row 4: Increase every 2 single crochets. Total: 24 columns.
If the bottom of the Easter cake shrinks. Use a larger hook.
Row 5: Increase every 3 stitches. Total: 30 columns.
Row 6: Increase every 4 stitches. Total: 36 columns.
Row 7: Increase every 5 stitches. Total: 42 loops.
Row 8: Increase every 6 stitches. Total: 48 loops.
Row 9: Increase every 7 stitches. Total: 54 columns.
Row 10: Increase every 8 stitches. Total: 60 columns.
Row 11: Increase every 9 stitches. Total: 66 loops.
Row 12: Increase every 10 stitches. Total: 72 columns.
The bottom is ready. Its diameter is 7 cm.
Row 13: No increases, behind the back wall of the loop.
2. Cut out a circle from cardboard. Diameter 7 cm.
3. We move on to knitting the walls of the Easter cake. To do this, you need to knit 26 rows without increases.
4. Inside the knitted cup, insert a padding polyester circle, and onto it a previously cut cardboard one.
5. For the sides of the Easter cake, cut out a suitable strip of padding polyester and cardboard. We insert it inside and fill the cake with padding polyester.
Don't forget to fasten the edges of the cardboard strip with a stapler, tape or glue.
As you can see, we have attached a paper clip. You will need this to know where the beginning of the row is.
6. Let's start knitting the top:
1st row: 10 single crochets, 1 decrease. So until the end of the row. Total: 66 columns. The decrease is performed in the form of two single crochets knitted together.
7. We continue to make decreases every 9 columns, then 8 and so on until the middle of the top of the Easter cake. We will not describe this in detail. Because knitting the top is reminiscent of knitting the bottom of an Easter cake. The only difference: there were increases for the bottom, and decreases for the top. As a result, there will be 18 single crochets left.
If necessary, add a little padding polyester to make the top of the cake convex.
8. 1 more row of decreases every 1 single crochet. Total: 12 single crochets. We continue to make decreases until the hole is completely closed. We cut the thread and hide it inside.
10. Shape the edges of the fondant:
We knit 2 half stitches, a double crochet, 2 half stitches, a single crochet. And so on until the end of the row. We finish with a connecting column.
11. Sew the fondant to the Easter cake and embroider it with bugles or beads.
12. Now let’s knit the egg:
1st row: 2 air loops. In the first loop we make 7 single crochets.
2nd row: Increase in each column. There are 14 loops in total.
Row 3: No increases.
Row 4: Increase through each single crochet. We start the row with an increase. Total: 21 loops.
Row 5: No increases.
Row 6: Increase, 2 single crochets. Until the end of the row. Total: 28 loops.
Row 7: No increases.
Row 8: Increase, 3 single crochets. Until the end of the row. Total: 35 loops.
Rows 9-15: No increases.
Row 16: Decrease, 5 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total: 30 loops.
Row 17: No decreases.
Row 18: Decrease, 4 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total: 25 loops.
13. Gradually fill the egg with padding polyester.
Row 19: Decrease, 3 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total: 20 loops.
Row 20: Decrease, 2 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total 15 loops.
14. Fill the egg completely with padding polyester. So that it takes on a round shape. We continue to make decreases until the hole is closed. Let's hide the thread inside.
In this way we knit the required number of eggs.
Video on how to knit Easter cake
But I found this master class on knitting an Easter souvenir on the YouTube channel, the author tells in detail and shows with an example how to create such a creation, I’m not afraid of this word, because it’s really very beautiful and neat! If you are interested, be sure to look at this masterpiece...
Knitting an Easter composition with knitting needles
This type of craft is suitable for needlewomen who prefer knitting needles. Or for those who don’t know how to crochet at all.
We will need:
- stocking needles;
- plastic or cardboard circle for the bottom;
- hook;
- yarn;
- beads;
- padding polyester
The yarn should be slightly thicker than the knitting needles. Then the padding polyester will not show through the canvas.
Stages of work:
Let's start knitting Easter cake:
Cast on 9 loops with brown thread.
Row 1: knit stitches.
2nd row: 9 increases. To do this, we knit two from each loop. One for the back, the other for the front wall. Total: 18 loops.
3rd row: no increases
Row 4: knit 1, increase one. Until the end of the row. Total: 27 loops.
Row 5: no increases.
Row 6: knit 2, increase one. Until the end of the row. 36 loops.
Row 7: no increases.
Row 8: knit 3, increase. 45 loops.
Rows 9-11: no increases.
Row 12: purl stitch. Fold line.
13-27: purl stitch without increase.
We return to knitting stockinette stitch, but with white thread.
Rows 28-32: knit stitches.
Row 33: Decrements will begin from here. 3 knits, 1 decrease. Until the end of the row. Total: 36 loops.
Rows 34 and 35: no decreases.
Row 36: knit 2, decrease. Until the end of the row. Total: 27 loops.
Rows 37 and 38: no decreases.
Now insert the circle to the bottom. Cut it out of a bottle or cardboard. We stuff the cake with padding polyester.
Row 39: Lie 1, decrease. Total: 18 loops.
Rows 40 and 41: no decreases.
Row 42: decrease to the end of the row. Total: 9 loops.
All that remains is to knit the eggs:
We cast on 6 loops.
1st row: 6 increases. Total: 12 loops.
Rows 2,4,6: no increases.
Row 3: knit 1, increase 18 stitches.
Row 5: knit 2, increase. 24 loops.
Row 7: knit 3, increase. 30 loops.
Rows 8-22: no increases.
Row 23: knit 3, decrease 1. 24 loops.
Rows 24-26: no decreases.
Row 27: knit 2, decrease 1. 18 loops.
Rows 28 and 29: no decreases.
Row 30: knit 1, decrease 1. 12 loops.
Row 31: no decreases.
Row 32: decrease to the end of the row.
We tighten the loops and break the thread. We hide it inside. Stuff the egg through the hole from the cast-on edge. Sew it up. We also make a few more eggs.
And this is the second version of the knitting craft:
We will need:
- yarn;
- a plastic cup;
- padding polyester;
- tape measure;
- hook;
- knitting needles
Stages of work:
1. Measure the circumference and height of the plastic cup.
2. Knit a rectangle of the same size. In stockinette stitch.
3. Here are two drawing diagrams:
4. You can choose from these or any other pattern.
5. Iron the resulting rectangle. We combine it into one canvas. We put it on the glass.
6. Crochet the bottom of the Easter cake and attach it to the walls. All this is done on the wrong side.
7. Turn the craft right side out and carefully sew it to the top of the glass.
8. For fondant, knit a white rectangle (in stockinette stitch).
9. You can do it as with knit stitches:
10. Same with purl ones:
11. Stretch the rectangle into a round shape. This is done with a seam: needle forward. We fill it with padding polyester and sew it to the Easter cake.
12. The craft is ready.

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. Anyone who is at least a little familiar with crocheting techniques can knit such an egg. In this master class we will look at three egg tying patterns.
The following materials and tools will be required:
- chicken eggs;
- hook;
- “Iris” threads;
- starch and water;
- toothpicks.
First, let's prepare the base that we will tie. We need to free the raw egg from its internal contents, leaving the shell intact. To do this, use a thick needle to pierce one hole at the sharp and blunt end of the egg, slightly widening the holes.
Now we pierce the yolk and blow all the contents out of the shell. All that remains is to rinse the inside of the egg well. We perform all actions very carefully so as not to damage the shell. This base can be stored for years, as it does not deteriorate.
First pattern.
We knit the pattern according to the following pattern.
We knit a chain of five loops and connect it into a ring.
We make 2 air loops (v.p.) for lifting. In the second row, we knit 15 double crochets into this ring (dc). We close the row with a connecting loop.
Again two v.p. rise. In the 3rd row we knit into every third stitch of the previous row a group of three treble crochet, two chain stitches, three treble crochet. This group of loops will be repeated further in each row. We close the row.
In the 4th row we make lifting loops, knit the already familiar groups of 3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc in each arch formed by the chain loops of the previous row. Between these groups we knit 2 ch.
We knit the 5th row in the same way as the fourth, only we make 3 vp between groups.
In the sixth row between the groups we knit 4 vp, in the seventh row - 5 vp.
Now we try on knitting on a base - an egg shell. The egg continues to expand, which means the next row will be from groups of loops with 6 ch. between them. Add one chain stitch between groups in each row until the egg expands. You may need to adjust the number of stitches in the row as eggs come in larger and smaller sizes.
At the point of narrowing, we will gradually reduce the number of air loops between the groups. In this case, we no longer remove the egg from knitting, we knit directly on it.
In the last row we make two dc 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 openwork is ready.
Second pattern.
The tying follows the same principle as in the first pattern - first we add the number of loops, and when the egg narrows, we decrease it.
We knit the second pattern according to the pattern.
We connect a chain of five loops into a ring. In the 2nd row we knit 14 loops with a double crochet and one chain 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 yarn overs and two chain loops between them.
In the 4th row, we knit one dc into each loop of the previous row.
In the fifth row we knit 5 ch. and 1 single crochet in the third stitch of the previous row. We continue to knit like this until the end of the row - 5 ch. and 1 single crochet in every third stitch.
In the sixth row we knit five chain stitches, and make a single crochet in the middle of the arch of the previous row. Repeat until the end of the row.
We repeat the steps in the seventh and eighth rows.
Let's try on the egg. Surely it has begun to narrow, so we continue to knit on the base. In the next row, in the middle of each arch we knit a dc and 3 ch. between them.
In the tenth row we knit dc in each loop of the previous row, in the eleventh row we knit stitches with three crochets in every third stitch of the previous row and three ch. between them. Number of v.p. between columns can be reduced if the egg has already narrowed greatly. Try to braid it tightly enough.
In the next row we knit a dc between the stitches of the previous row and 1-2 vp. between them. Number of v.p. vary depending on the size of the egg.
We finish knitting with a row of double crochets between the stitches of the previous row. We break the thread and pull it out.
Third pattern.
The pattern according to which we will knit the pattern.
We knit 5 chain stitches and connect them into a ring. We make lifting loops at the beginning of each row. In the 2nd row we knit 14 dc into this ring. In the 3rd row, in each column of the previous row we knit a dc, after 3 dc we make 2 vp. Alternate dc/dc with chain stitches until the end of the row.
4th row. In each column of the previous row we knit a dc, and after 3 dc we knit 3 vp. Alternate 3 dc and 3 vp. to the end of the row.
Fifth row. We knit double crochets into the columns of the previous row. *3 dc, 2 ch, 1 single crochet in the middle of the arch of the previous row, 2 ch. * Repeat the rapport until the end of the row.
In each row above the double crochets we will knit the same double crochets. And a pattern will form between them.
Seventh row. 3 dc, 3 ch, single crochet in the middle of the arch, 3 ch. And so on.
We knit the eighth row in exactly the same way as the previous one.
Let's try on the egg, most likely you need to start reducing the knitting width.
We continue to knit the pattern in a mirror image.
We knit the 10th row as 8, 11 as 7, 12 as 6. And so we continue to knit the pattern in a mirror until the entire egg is tied.
We have embodied three types of patterns, now we turn them into airy openwork accessories. To give rigidity to the knitting, starch it directly on the egg. For rigid fixation of the product, starch solution is prepared at the rate of: 2 tbsp. starch per 1 liter of water. Measure out the required amount of cold water. Dilute the required amount of starch with cold water until it becomes thick sour cream. Boil the remaining water, turn off the stove and pour the prepared starch into the water. We mix it thoroughly.
When the starch has cooled to a warm state, lower the eggs into it and let the threads get wet and soak well.
After this, take out the eggs, remove excess starch and leave them to dry.
When the threads are dry, remove the shell from the openwork. Carefully place a toothpick between the threads and the shell, separating them from each other. Now you can break the shell and pull out small pieces 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 Easter decorations. And for table decoration you can put them in such a delicate vase. Master class on knitting this openwork vase.
I wish you creative inspiration!
Easter is the most anticipated spring holiday. People prepare thoroughly for this day - prepare treats, paint eggs, clean and decorate the house.
beautiful products will bring a lot of pleasure. To decorate the holiday table for Easter, as well as for gifts, I suggest knitting colorful chickens. For knitting chickens
You can use various leftover yarn, combining colors as you wish. The main part of the chicken should be knitted tightly, using yarn of medium thickness or by folding a thin thread into several folds, then the knitted chicken will keep its shape.
Description of knitting chickens for Easter:
Start knitting from the head. From the ring, make 3 chain stitches and 12 double crochets, close the row into a circle with a connecting loop.
Next, knit circular rows with single crochets. In the first row, make increases by knitting 2 tbsp from one loop, through 3 loops, in the next two through 4 loops. The knitting takes the shape of a cap - this is the top of the head.
Knit the next two rows without increases, and then three rows with decreases, knitting 2 tbsp together through 4 loops.
We form hangers by knitting a row of double crochets. Make 2 chain lifting loops and knit st s/n, making increases - from one loop, knitting 2 st s/n through one loop. Finish the row with a connecting loop and start knitting the skirt.
The chicken skirt is knitted with a fan pattern. In the first row of the skirt, knit fans like this: *skip one loop from the next one, knit 5 sts, secure the resulting fan with a connecting post, skipping one loop from the previous row*, repeat *-* until the end of the row.
Having finished the second row, proceed to the beginning of the third row as well. In the third row of the fan, knit from 5 tbsp. s/2n. In the fourth fan, knit from 6 sts s/2n, in the fifth from 7 sts s/2n. Finish knitting the skirt with the last row of connecting stitches so that the edge holds its shape better.
To knit a scallop, attach a red thread and knit 3 arches from 4 chains. loops along the top of the head. Having secured the last arch with a connecting post, turn the work and knit back from each arch a double stitch, a half stitch, 3 double stitches, a half stitch, a double stitch.
To knit a beak, join the yarn in place, make 3 chain stitches and 2 double crochets at the same point from the same point. Fasten and cut the thread.
The wings are knitted on the sides. First, knit arches from 5 air. loops, secure them with connecting posts. Back from each arch, knit st b/n, half st., st s/n, 2 st s/2n, st s/n, half st., st s/n. Attach a thread of a different color to the edge of the wing and knit along each mound: sc, half treble, 6 treble, half treble, treble.
Making Easter gifts with your own hands has already become a good tradition. In this regard, we are often asked the question, how to knit an egg for Easter? For the Bright Holiday, original knitted eggs are used to decorate the interior and give decorations to friends and acquaintances. It is best to use knitting needles for this, but you can also crochet.
How to knit an egg, diagram and description
Knitting Easter eggs is notable for the fact that it does not require the purchase of expensive yarn. The crafts are small, so they are made using any multi-colored leftover threads, the smallest balls saved by a thrifty needlewoman.
To work you will need:
stocking needles;
remnants of multi-colored yarn;
padding polyester, foam rubber or cotton wool.
Maintain knitting density : 2.5 cm = 8 loops (width).
First: knitting fabric for eggs
Second: we sew the fabric.
Third step: You can fill a knitted egg with wool, cotton, etc. You can also put a polystyrene egg inside.
p1: Cast on 11 loops (leave a free end of thread 15 cm long - this thread will be needed later for stitching).
p3: 2 LP, (pull 1 loop from the broach, 1 LP) - repeat 8 times, 1 LP (19 loops), pull 1 loop from the broach.
p5: 2 LP, (pull 1 loop from the broach, 1 LP) - repeat 16 times, 1 LP (35 loops)
R9: 3 LP, pull 1 loop from the broach, (2 LP, pull 1 loop from the broach) - repeat 6 times, 3 LP, pull 1 loop from the broach (2 LP, pull 1 loop from the broach) - repeat 7 times, 3 LP. Total: 50 loops.
p11: change the color of the thread (according to the pattern) - knit 12 rows.
Beautiful jacquard pattern pattern
Zigzag: The pattern uses threads of three colors.
p23: change the thread to a thread of the main color. We knit two rows.
p25: 3 LP, knit 2 LP together, (2 LP, 2 LP together) - knit 11 times, 1 LP. Total: 38 loops.
p27: 2 LP, 2 LP together, (1 LP, 2 LP together) - knit 11 times, 1 LP. Total: 26 loops.
r31: 1 LP, (2 LP together) - knit 12 times, 1 LP. Total: 14 loops.
When we finish, we leave the end of the thread 15 cm long. We pull the thread through the loops on the needle, sew them together and carefully tighten them. Use the remaining thread to sew up the end, sew up the cover along about 2.5 cm, then tighten and sew up the other end of the egg in the same way.
How to knit an Easter egg - master class
We cast on 3 double needles for 36 stitches (12 each). We knit 5 rows in circular knitting. From the 6th row we begin to make decreases: on each knitting needle we knit two loops into one twice, in the end there are 30 loops left.
We knit the next two rows without changes. In the ninth row, we remove two loops on each knitting needle, leaving 24. Next comes the front row. In the eleventh row we make decreases again, there are 18 loops left on the knitting needles. In the next row we decrease again. This was the last row with 12 stitches. Cut the thread, leaving a long tail. We pass this thread through the loops and tighten it tightly.
We turn the work over and pick up 36 loops from the first row. We knit in the round, repeating the previous decreasing system. When there are 12 loops left on the knitting needles, fill the workpiece with filler; for this purpose it is better to use padding polyester. We tighten the hole with thread - the Easter egg is ready.
How to make an egg yourself - design options
Eggs knitted with knitting needles can be decorated in different ways. Here the craftswoman uses her imagination to the fullest. Here are some examples of how to decorate a knitted egg:
plain crafts made from threads of different colors;
eggs made from melange yarn, bouclé, grass, threads with lurex;
with a pattern (diamonds, horizontal, vertical stripes, checkered patterns, spirals);
The finished product is decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequins, ribbons, and braid.
A very interesting solution - an animal egg. A character like chicken is ideal for this role. On a knitted egg you need to embroider eyes, a beak and make a funny forelock. This craft will delight any child. Moreover, the baby can be involved in the process of creating an Easter masterpiece. Knitting does not pose any danger to a child, but it develops fine motor skills and perseverance.
In addition to chickens, you can make hens, frogs, birds, bunnies, cats, mice and even insects from knitted eggs. If you know how to crochet, you can knit Easter eggs using this technique. It is recommended to knit with single crochets, then large holes will not be visible in the finished product. Handicraft stores sell special foam blanks that are very cheap. Buy several pieces and crochet them. The shape of the product will tell you where to make reductions.
If desired, you can make up to twenty knitted eggs in one day. This amount is enough to decorate your own apartment and give gifts to all your loved ones.
