In order to knit a tender chicken you will need thin white cotton threads, a little red, a hook of a suitable size (usually 1.00 or 1.25), two small black beads for the eyes.

The following types of loops will be used in crocheting: chain stitches, single and double crochet stitches, as well as connecting stitches.

Start knitting from the head of the chicken.

Crochet 5 chain stitches and connect them into a ring, then make 3 lifting loops. Then knit 9 stitches with one crochet into the hole formed. Move to the next row. Start with 4 chain stitches, and two double crochets in the same stitch. Next, under each next column, knit three stitches with 2 double crochets. There are 30 loops in total. Fasten the thread and cut it.

Make a second circle exactly the same, but do not break the thread. Attach the first finished piece to the resulting circle and sew them with connecting columns in a circle, but not completely, but leaving 8 loops on each side. Do not break the thread, but continue to crochet.

In the first row, crochet one column with two crochets from each loop. Only 16 pieces.
2nd row. Do 3 stitches and one more chain lift. Now, under each stitch, tie a double crochet stitch, alternating a chain stitch between them.
3rd row start with 4 stitches. From the same base loop, knit a column with two double crochets, knit 2 ch. From the lower chain stitches of the previous row, knit two columns with two yarn overs and 2 ch. Do this until the end of the row.
4th r. Knit 4 stitches again. and 2 v.p. Now from the bottom chs of the previous row, make three sts with 2 yarn overs. Crochet in this pattern until the end of the row.
5th r. 4 stitches under, from the same base knit 2 more stitches with two stitches, 2 ch. Next, knit columns from the air stitch of the bottom row. Three double crochets and 2 ch. – repeat this combination three times.

Now knit the base for the future chicken tail. It will be placed on the next eight chain stitches of the previous row. From each, knit like this - * three treble stitches with 2 dc, 2 dc. loops*. Repeat this sequence 8 times. Finish the row like this - two vp, three dc each. Fasten the thread, trim and hide the tip.

Chicken tail knitting pattern

Attach the thread in the place where you started knitting the base for the chicken tail, i.e. into those two air loops located in front of the complex between a pair of three columns. Crochet pattern:

1st row from one loop 3 columns with two chain stitches, 2 chain stitches, complex * 3 sts with 2 chain stitches from one base loop, 2 chain stitches between them, again 3 stitches with 2 chain stitches *. Repeat from * to * – 3 times (complex #1). Then, focusing on the diagram, knit not in air loops, but between complexes. Crochet the module from one loop 2 tbsp. with 2 double crochets, 2 chain stitches, 2 treble crochets. (module #2). Then knit complex #1 twice, module #2 once and complex #1 three times. Finish the row with two stitches and three columns with 2 stitches coming from one loop.

2nd p start with trio st. with 2 nac, make 2 ch. and connect Complex #1 between a pair of v.p. last row. There should be 10 pieces of these complexes in total. Complete the row in the same way as at the beginning of this row. – 2 v.p. and three pieces tbsp. with two nak.

3rd r. Crochet the next two rows only with ordinary columns and chain stitches. Make columns under the arches of the previous row, and between the complexes. There should be a total of 21 of them. Separate them with five chain stitches.

Knit the 4th row similarly to the third. Place the columns under the arches and also separate them with five vp.

5th final row. You need to focus on the diagram. You need to knit a Module of one loop, consisting of eight stitches with 2 stitches. Moreover, connect a pique between a pair of columns. Pique is a connected 5 chain stitches from one base loop. There should be three such piques on each module, and the modules themselves must be crocheted in 9 pieces.

Easter greetings are always memorable with gifts. An Easter bunny with pockets for eggs, a master class for which I decided to provide you with, will be a wonderful gift and a great toy. By the way, you can put not only colored eggs in the pockets, but also sweets and all sorts of other goodies.

By the way, pay attention to the knitted ones in the background. If you follow the links, you will be taken to a detailed master class on knitting them.

What you need for the Easter Bunny:

- acrylic yarn Pekhorka Handmade, 50 grams in a skein, 175 meters.
- hook 1.7.

And also for small details and, if you knit yourself, eggs, all sorts of colorful leftovers.

Crochet Easter Bunny with pockets for eggs – start crocheting the figure from the head
The beginning will be a ring made of thread, 6 single crochets are typed into it (sc)
1 row. 6 sc.

Now, we will tighten the remaining end of the thread and continue to knit it in a spiral, without making a lifting loop.
2nd row. 6 + 6 = 12 sc. Let's make two in each column.

3rd row. 12 + 6 = 18 sc. We knit two in every second column.




4 row. 18 + 6 = 24 sc. We will knit two stitches in every second stitch.




5 row. 24 + 6 = 30 sc. In every third we will make two columns.

7 - 9 rows. 36 sc.
10 row. 36 - 6= 30 sc. You must skip, without knitting, every fifth stitch.

11 row. 30 - 6 = 24 sc. We don’t knit every fourth one.
12 row. 24 - 6 = 18 sc. We skip every third one.
13 row. 18 - 6 = 12 sc. We knit it through a post, then fill it with padding polyester; it is better to put the filler in small lumps so that there are no holes or bumps on the surface of the head.




14 - 16 rows. 12 sc. This will be the neck.




17th row. 12 + 6 = 18 sc. We make 3 air loops for lifting (vpp) (3 air loops replace 1 dc), 2 double crochets (dc) in one loop, then we knit 1 dc, 2 dc in 1 loop, etc. We connect the beginning to the end using a connecting loop.

18th row. 3 run, 1 fluffy column (ps), 2 dc, 1 ps, 2 dc, 1 ps. A lush column is knitted like this: we knit 3 loops and 3 yarn overs into one loop of the bottom row.

19 - 28 rows. We knit in the same way, only we add one double crochet between the lush columns.
In the last 28 row there should be: 3 VP, 1 ps, 11 dc, 1 ps, 11 dc, 1 ps, 11 dc, 1 ps, 11 dc, 1 ps, 11 dc, 1 ps, 10 dc, 1 sp
(connecting loop).

29 row. 84 sc. 12 sc between ps and in each ps we make 2 sc.
Row 30 84 + 6 = 90 sc. We make two dc every fourteenth.
31 row. 90 + 6 = 96 sc. We do 2 dc every fifteenth. These three rows will be the bottom for the pockets.

32 row. 3 runways and turn the knitting over, we will knit on the wrong side like the front side. We knit again with double crochets and puffy stitches. 1 ps, 15 dc, 1 ps, 15 dc, 1 ps, 15 dc, 1 ps, 15 dc, 1 ps, 15 dc, 1 ps, 14 dc, 1 sp.




33 row. 3 run, 1 ps, 16 dc...1 ps, 15 dc, 1 sp.
34 row. 3 run, 1 ps, 17 dc...1 ps, 16 dc, 1 sp.
Row 35 3 run, 1 ps, 18 dc...1 ps, 17 dc, 1 sp.
36 row. 3 run, 1 ps, 19 dc...1 ps, 18 dc, 1 sp.
37 row. 3 run, 1 ps, 20 dc...1 ps, 19 dc, 1 sp.
38 row. 3 run, 1 ps, 21 dc...1 ps, 20 dc, 1 sp.

Here you can cut off the blue thread and take any other thread to finish the edges of the pockets. We will have white.
39 row. 22 sc in white we tie the edge, having reached the ps, we raise a chain of 3 ch (chain loops)

We will knit a loop and follow the ch chain back to the edge, knitting 3 sc. We continue to tie the edge of the sc, repeating the operation with air loops on each lush column

Easter bunny ears with pockets

1 row. 5 sc in the ring.
2nd row. 5 + 5 = 10 sc.
3 - 4 rows. 10 sc.
5 row. 10 + 2 = 12 sc.
Row 6. 12 sc.
7th row. 12 + 3 = 15 sc.
8 - 12 rows. 15 sc.

Let's cut the thread so that it's enough to sew to the head. Let's make a second ear, in
Fold the base in half, grab the edges and sew.

For the muzzle, take a white thread and start with a ring into which we collect 6 sc.
1 row. 6 sc.

3rd row. 12 + 3 = 15 sc. Cut the thread and sew it on.



All that remains is to make our bunny's eyes and nose. For the nose, we will use a pink thread and simply embroider the nose on the muzzle, and we took ready-made plastic eyes, the kind they sell in craft stores.
But if for some reason you do not have the opportunity to buy ready-made eyes, then you can also embroider them with thread.
