February 9, 2018 handmadebase

Каждый год в декабре мы украшаем елку разными toys, tinsel, balls. We buy decorations in stores. But you can make them yourself. Then they will be only in a single copy and only on your tree. In this master class, we will crochet a Christmas tree ball. It is crocheted very easily using the granny circle technique.

Materials and tools

The yarn is pink, blue and lilac;
Hook;
White ball or white ball.

Stages of work

You can also use any other colors for the ball,which ones you like. And the ball itself must be white, as it will show through the knitting. We start knitting the ball with a chain of ten air loops closed in a ring. You can make the number of loops smaller so that the hole in the middle is not so noticeable. We will knit the ball using the granny circle technique and therefore we will finish the work quite quickly. It is knitted almost the same way as a square. And this technique is very easy to perform. We will make three air loops (this will be our first double crochet) and knit two double crochets into a ring of six air loops. All the elements in knitting will consist of such double crochets. And they will all be knitted the same way. Therefore, it is impossible to get confused here.Next, we make one air loop and knit it.five more parts, consisting of three double crochets and one ch between these parts. And from these elements we will knit a ball. We will connect the first and last loops of the row. We will always connect with a slip stitch.Now we need to change the color.Each new row will be different in color from the previous one. Now we will make four air loops and in the next arch we will knit exactly the same element that we knitted at the very beginning, that is, three double crochets.We will knit an air loop and in the same arch we will knit another similar element of three double crochets.Let's make an air stitch again and continue knittingcircle. In the last element we knit two columns, since the air loops at the beginning of the row replace one column with a yarn. We connect in the third loop of this chain of air loops. It is better to connect at the end of the row immediately with yarn of a different color, the one with which we will knit the next row. This way the transition from one color to another will not be visible.Now we will tie a half-column into an arch.And so we will find ourselves in the middle of the arch. From it we will start the next row. We will make four air loops and in the next arch we will knit an element of three double crochets. Here in each arch we will knit one such element. Between the elements we make one air loop. Thus, our previous row went with increases and increased, and this row goes without increases and the circle begins to acquire the shape of half a ball. We connect with the third lifting loop. And we knit one half-column into the middle of the arch.We knit the next (last) row exactly the same way as we knitted the previous one. That is, it also goes without increases and forms a ball.We need to connect two of these parts.Therefore, we knit the second one in the same way. After that, we sew both parts of the ball with single crochets using the yarn of the color that should follow the color of the last row. In this case, pink comes after blue. We sew about half of the ball.Now we insert either a ball of white yarn there,or a foam ball and sew it with single crochet stitches to the end. Make a loop of air loops. The loop can be made of any length that is needed. Here is such a simple but bright ball! You can knit several pieces and decorate the Christmas tree with these balls. Knitted decorations look very unusual and original on the tree.
