Пасхальные петушки, схема для вязания крючком

Пасхальные петушки, схема для вязания крючком

Now that Easter is just around the corner, I’m very excited to share with you a one year old pattern, that haven’t been translated in English up until now! And I have even more good news — I’ve been working on designing and polishing the layout of PDF’s for my patterns through the past month to make printing those easier, and I’m finally ready to show the result! This means that not only you can use the pattern, you can also easily save it and print!

Here is the link to the renewed pattern on my blog.

Sharing a crocheted flower-shaped rattle pattern

Sharing a crocheted flower-shaped rattle pattern

As our little girl was growing older, she started grabbing things and it was the best time to make for her a mobile. I searched for ideas through Pinterest and Google, but absolutely nothing was found that could catch my eye. Then one day I noticed that Marge likes to observe a crocheted flower in her cardigan and the idea was born. It was decided to make a few crocheted rattles with flowers on top covering plastic egg containers.

These beautiful little Easter Roosters will be happy to join you on your Easter brunch!

I used Alize Bella yarns for my roosters and a 2 mm hook.

You will need:
– a small amount of a light yellow cotton yarn,
– even smaller amount of bright yellow and red cotton yarn,
– a black thread,
– needle,
– stuffing and a marker (optional).

See this page for abbreviations used in this pattern.

Now, the pattern!

The Head.

Take the light yellow yarn. Crochet the rows in a continuous spiral.
Ch 4, join to make a ring.
Rnd 1: Work 6 SC into the ring (6 sts all together).
Rnd 2: Work 2 SC into the each st of the row (12 sts all together).
Rnd 3: * [Work 2 SC into the next st, then work 1 SC into the second st]. Repeat 5 times from * (18 sts all together).
Rnd 4: * [Work 2 SC into the next st, then work 1 SC into each of the next 5 sts]. Repeat 2 times from * (21 sts all together).
Rnd 5: * [Work 2 SC into the next st, then work 1 SC into each of the next 6 sts]. Repeat 2 times from * (24 sts all together).
Rnd 6-7: Work 1 SC into each of the sts along the row. (24 sts all together).
Rnd 8: * [Work 1 SC decrease across the next 2 sts, then work 1 SC into each of the next 6 sts]. Repeat 2 times from * (21 sts all together).
Rnd 9: * [Work 1 SC decrease across the next 2 sts, then work 1 SC into each of the next 5 sts]. Repeat 2 times from * (18 sts all together).
Rnd 10: * [Work 1 SC decrease across the next 2 sts, then work 1 SC into the next sts]. Repeat 5 times from * (12 sts all together).
Rnd 11: Work 1 SC into each of the sts along the row. (12 sts all together).
Fasten off the thread and leave a long end in order to use it later for sewing together the head and the body.

The Comb.

Now that the head is ready, you can make the comb.
Take the red thread and stitch 8 chain stitches across the top of the head as it is shown on the scheme #1. Take the end of the thread underside, fasten off and cut it off.
Now begin crocheting the comb. Start from the front (the comb sits lower on the back side) and crochet according the scheme #2:

Row 1: make a slip knot, insert the hook into the first chain and pull through a loop of the thread, chain 1 (will count as the first SC). Work 1 SC out of each of the other stitches. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as the first SC), work 1 DC out of the second st from the hook, work SC in the same st. 1 SC in the next st.
* [Work 1 SC out of the next stitch, then 1 DC, 1 half TR, 1 DC and 1 SC all out of the same stitch. Work 1 SC in the next st]. Repeat from the * one more time.
Work 1 SC out of the next stitch, then 1 DC, 1 half TR and 1 DC all out of the same stitch.
1 SC in the next st. End with a sl st in the head. Cut the thread off, but be sure to leave a pretty long tail (about 8 inches/ 20 cm) to be able to stitch the knob with it too.

Now that the comb is ready, fill the head with the stuffing and bring the thread through the head with the needle to the place where the knob should be and stitch it. Bring the thread inside and to the bottom of the head and cut the tail off. Stitch the eyes with the black thread and bring the thread inside and to the bottom of the head and cut the tail off.

The Body.

Take the light yellow yarn and Ch 4, sl st to make a ring. Crochet the rows in a continuous spiral.
Rnd 1: Work 1 SC out of the ring and place the marker in it. Work 5 more SC out of the ring. (6 sts all together)
Rnd 2: Work 2 SC in each of the next 6 sts starting with the first SC of the previous row, the one with the marker. Don’t forget to replace the marker to the first st ofnthe current row. (12 sts all together)
Rnd 3: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in the next st]. Repeat 5 more times from the *. (18 sts all together)
Rnd 4: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in each of the next 5 sts]. Repeat 2 more times from the *. (21 sts all together)
Rnd 5: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in each of the next 6 sts]. Repeat 2 more times from the *. (24 sts all together)
Rnd 6: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in each of the next 7 sts]. Repeat 2 more times from the *. (27 sts all together)
Rnd 7: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in each of the next 8 sts]. Repeat 2 more times from the *. (30 sts all together)
Rnd 8: * [ Work 2 SC out of the next st, work 1 SC in each of the next 14 sts]. Repeat 1 more times from the *. (32 sts all together)
Rnds 9-11: Work 1 SC in each of the sts of the row. (32 sts all together)

Continue with the bright yellow thread.
Rnd 12: * [Work 1 SC into the next st, work 1 long SC into the SC from the two rows below]. Continue in the same way across the row. (32 sts all together)
Rnd 13: Work 1 SC in each of the next 16 sts. Make a tail, then go on working 1 SC into each of the sts until the row ends. (32 sts all together)
Fasten off.

The Wings.

To make a wing, take the bright yellow thread and follow the 3d scheme:
Ch 7.
Row 1: Work 1 SC into each of the next 5 sts starting from the second ch from the hook. Turn.
Row 2: Work 1 SC into each of the next 3 sts starting from the second st from the hook and end with a sl st into the next st.
Fasten off, but leave the tail long enough to use it for stitching the wing to its place.

Assembling.
Sew the head to the body with an invisible stitch, inserting the needle under the second row of the body and behind the posts of the last row of the head.
Sew on the wings.

Happy crocheting!

В ожидании весны

В ожидании весны

Spring has showed to us it’s face only in a form of the bright sun and a smell of burning last-autumn leaves yet.

Ditches in our local forest are still covered with ice, even despite of a +12°C (54°F). Ducks, who returned after wintering, don’t have a place to settle down.

Though I have bright yellow crepe-paper daffodils and white crocus about 15 cm tall blooming in my kitchen!
