I pour a couple of glasses of water into a small saucepan, put a microfiber kitchen cloth on the bottom and place a jar of diluted starch on it. I make the fire very low. Constantly stirring, I bring the starch until it thickens.
I let the starch cool a little - so that your hands can handle it.

If I knit a round Christmas tree toy, I take a plastic ball suitable size, I mark the diameter on it and knit 2 halves with any pattern, constantly trying them on the ball. There is only one rule - the design must provide for a beautiful connection of the halves.

12:1080

13:1585

Plastic ball. - the basis for a future knitted Christmas ball.

I connect the knitted halves of the Christmas ball at the planned points with thread in the same color using simple double knots. At this stage, you need to immediately connect everything as carefully as possible, since after starching the uneven loops can no longer be moved.

13:599

14:1104

I heavily moisten the ball with the prepared starch so that all the threads are thoroughly soaked, remove the excess with my hands and hang the ball to dry.

14:1363

Using a needle to pry at the stuck places, I release the ball from the two halves. It is important to notice or mark exactly those stitching points that touched each other when first stitching. Then the New Year's knitted ball will be the most correct shape in terms of geometry.

17:1780

18:504

Sew the two halves of the ball together again. Now this is a little more difficult to do and the knots should be invisible. They can be disguised with beads or sparkles. I most often use a thinner needle with thinner thread to match the color of the ball.

From several flat snowflakes you can make one unusual knitted snowflake. To do this, starched snowflakes are folded in the middle and sewn, if possible, at the required angle.
If the design is planned from 2 knitted snowflakes, then you need to sew it at an angle of 90 degrees, if from 3 knitted snowflakes, then at an angle of 60 degrees

20:1134

21:1639

Use a ruler to press the snowflakes in the middle to soften the starch. Fold the snowflakes at the desired angle.

Winter is just around the corner, and with it the wonderful holidays - Christmas and New Year. Recently, decorating a home with handmade decor has become extremely fashion trend. If you want to decorate your home, make it festive, elegant and at the same time unique, crochet bells. The diagrams and descriptions that we will offer in this article will be an excellent help in creative work. We hope that even novice masters will not have any difficulties.

Beautiful crochet Christmas bells. Description for beginner knitters

Cute New Year's accessories decorate and transform the interior of any home on the eve of your loved ones. winter holidays and give a great mood. Bells can be used to make magnificent Christmas tree decorations, colorful garlands or interesting decor for windows, doors and the fireplace area.

To complete these indispensable New Year's attributes, you will need to purchase the following tools and materials:

• hook No. 3.5;
• acrylic yarn with the addition of lurex or metallized polyester in a silver shade (YarnArt Gold, YarnArt Bright, etc.);
• scissors;
• white round beads with a sufficiently large hole;
• a needle with a wide eye;
• small bows made of satin ribbon.

Having prepared necessary tools and materials, let's start crocheting a bell. The scheme of work is as follows. First, we make a magic ring, knit 6 single crochets (SC) into it and close the circle (SP) with a connecting loop.

At the beginning of the second row we make 1 VP (chain loop) and 1 RLS in the same base loop. In the second row we perform increases. In all remaining five loops of the base we knit 2 sc. We get 12 columns in a row. We close the joint venture in the first VP of the row.

In the third row we knit 1 VP, in the next loop we make *2 RLS, and then we knit 1 RLS*. We repeat the rapport *-* until the end of the row. By alternating 2 sc and 1 sc we get 18 loops. We close the row with SP.

We continue to work on Christmas bells

At the beginning of the fourth row we perform 1 VP. We knit 1 sc into each base loop and close the joint. We perform rows five, six, seven, eight by analogy with the fourth.

At the beginning of the ninth row we make 1 VP. In the next base loop we knit 2 sc. Then we knit 1 sc. Let's increase again. In the next loop we perform 2 sc. We continue to work according to this pattern until the end of the row. Thanks to the alternation of elements (2 sc - 1 sc) we end up with 27 loops. We close the joint venture.

In the tenth row we perform 1 VP. We knit 1 sc into each base loop. Close the joint, cut the thread and fasten it. Congratulations, you have crocheted your first bell. We also use this pattern to knit a second decorative element of the same type.

Finishing knitting New Year's decor

Now let's start making the bell tongue. We take a needle with a wide eye and thread through it a piece of thread that remains inside the bell after creating the amigurumi ring. We string one bead onto a thread and make a knot. We check that the bead holds well. Cut off the excess thread. The first tongue is ready, we perform the second one by analogy.

We connect both bells with a thread, sewing and securing it from the inside, in the center of the arch. We decorate the product with a bow from satin ribbons. That's it, we have crocheted beautiful Christmas bells! We hope there were no difficulties with the work schemes. I wish you creative success.

Openwork New Year's bells

We bring to your attention another simple and understandable diagram of a bell. The crocheted product turns out to be openwork and beautiful, and knits quickly and easily. Having made several of these bells, you can decorate the Christmas tree in an original way, using them instead of ordinary balls and Christmas tree decorations.

To work, you will need knitting threads of any color, a corresponding hook, and scissors. Having prepared necessary tools, let's start crocheting a New Year's bell. The diagram is shown in the following figure.

We start with an amigurumi ring and 5 VP. Then we knit 1 C1H (double crochet) and 2 VP into the ring. We perform 5 more columns, between which we make 2 VPs. We close the first row of joint ventures into the third loop of the initial chain.

We knit the second row using the pattern: “2 C1H - 2 VP”. Please note: the columns should be made in arches from air loops of the previous row. We close the knitting using a connecting loop.

In the third row, we first move with connecting half-columns to the first VP of the previous row. Next, we perform 3 VP lifts, 1 C1H, 3 VP, 2 C1H. We knit all other arches using the pattern: 2 C1H - 3 VP - 2 C1H. We knit the fourth, fifth, sixth rows according to the pattern of the third.

In the seventh row, using SP, we move to the first C1H of the previous row. We make three lifting loops. In the first arch we knit 7 C1H. In all other arches we make 8 C1H. This way we form the lower, wider part of the bell. In the eighth row we tie the edge with single crochets. Don’t forget to do 1 VP at the beginning of the row, and SP at the end. We fasten the thread and cut it off.

We attach yarn to the top of the bell and make air loops until the lace reaches the desired length. Attach the edge of the chain to the bell, forming a loop.

Processing the product after knitting

To ensure that the finished bells keep their shape well, you can treat them with potato starch. To do this, dilute 1 or 2 tbsp in half a liter of water. l. potato starch. Next, you need to put the container with the solution on the fire and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, after which you need to let the thickened starch cool a little and saturate the bell with it. Be sure to squeeze out excess liquid. After impregnation, the workpiece must be pulled onto a suitable form (for example, a glass), straightened and allowed to dry completely. Thanks to these simple manipulations, the product will keep its shape perfectly.

Original crochet garland of bells

If you want to decorate your home on New Year's Eve, make it especially cute and cozy - crochet a garland of bells. The operation scheme is extremely simple, even a beginner can handle it. And the decoration itself turns out to be bright, stylish and very elegant. You can hang it on the Christmas tree, decorate the walls with it, or decorate the fireplace area.

To work you will need cotton threads different colors(density 175 g per 50 m), hook No. 2.5, scissors.

Description of the process of working on a garland of bells

Let's look at how to crochet bells. We present to your attention the diagram and description of the work. We start creating the first decorative element with a chain of 3 VPs, using a joint venture we connect it into a ring. We start the second row with three VPs, then we knit 10 double crochets into a ring (C2H). Rotate the workpiece.

We knit the third row like this. We collect 2 VP. For the leg of the nearest column of the previous row, we perform 3 double crochet stitches (C1H). We knit 2 C1H into the ring. We knit 4 C1H for the leg of the next column. The series is completed. We perform 2 VPs and turn the workpiece over.

In the fourth row we knit 1 C1H in each base loop. There will be 9 of them in total. Again we make 2 VPs and turn the part over. We do the fifth row by analogy with the fourth, at the end we again perform 2 VPs and turn.

In the sixth row, first knit 1 C1H in the same base loop (where the chain is from VP). Next we make increments. We knit 2 C1H into the base loop, and one at a time into the next 6. In the last two loops of the row we make 2 C1H. This way we get the necessary expansion of the canvas at the bottom of the future bell.

In the seventh row we make 1 VP and decorate the entire workpiece along the edge with single crochets (SC). Please note that when tying double crochets, you should perform 2 sc.

We are finishing work on the bell for a cozy garland

Having reached the middle of the lower part of the bell, we make a tongue. In one loop of the base we knit a combination of 1 half double crochet (HDC), 1 C1H and 1 C2H. In the next loop we knit these elements in the reverse order (first 1 C2H, then 1 C1H and 1 hdc). We get the tongue. We finish tying the bell with single crochets, close the knitting joint, fasten the thread and cut it off. The first bell is ready. By analogy, we knit the required number of similar parts and form a garland from them, connecting them with chains of air loops.

Our New Year's decoration is ready! Now you know how to make unique New Year decorations with your own hands - bells, crocheted. The diagrams presented in our article will help you do this quickly and easily! I wish you creative success!

Crocheted interior items have not surprised anyone for a long time. Sofa cushions, napkins, panels or even vases have become quite common. However, the idea of ​​creating New Year's decorations in the form of bells is relatively new. It is actively used in European countries, decorating their homes, Christmas trees, windows and doors. In addition, it will allow you to get a pretty cute small present- openwork bell - hook. The design of such products is not at all simple, but is accessible to most craftswomen.

Yarn for bells

For crocheting small items, a very thin one is suitable. In this case, it is advisable to choose mercerized cotton rather than crochet. This thread is treated with alkali, so it is frizz-free, smooth and has a tight twist.

The decor knitted from such material turns out to be very expressive. Otherwise, a hook will help you get a rather rough and too voluminous bell hook. The pattern is usually designed for the use of yarn with a thickness of about 550-600 m/100 grams. As a last resort, you can use material with a thread length of 450-500 m/100 grams.

Crochet bell: diagram and description

The photo shows a bell that is knitted as follows:

• Start working with a chain of 4 air loops (VP).
• 1 VP lift, 12 half-columns (PS). Half-stitches are performed in the same way as double crochets (dc), but the loop and crochet are knitted together, and not sequentially.
• 1 VP rise, 1 PS, 1 PS, 2 PS in one base loop (that is, double every third PS).
• 4 VP rise, 1 VP, double crochet stitch. Repeat the sequence (except for the lifting loops).
• 1 VP rise, 32 single crochets (SC). Repeat the row two more times.
• 1 VP lifting, 4 sc, 20 VP, 1 sc in the 5th VP, 5 VP, 4 sc. Repeat 7 times.
• 1 VP lift, 2 RLS, 6 RLS in a smaller arch, 8 RLS in a large arch, 2 VP, 8 RLS in a large arch, 6 RLS in a smaller arch. Sequence: 2 RLS, 6 RLS in a smaller arch, 4 RLS in a large arch, attach the petal to the middle of the nearest petal with a connecting column, 4 RLS in a large arch, 2 VP, 8 RLS in a large arch, 6 RLS in a smaller arch.

This method will help you make several identical hooks or one small bell hook; the pattern is not complicated, but skills in working with circular fabrics are required. The process can be simplified by knitting the petals without attaching them while knitting. They can be sewn after the product is ready.

Mount for decoration

To make it convenient to attach the bell to a spruce branch or to another holder, you need to tie a loop on top. The material used is the same thread that was used to knit the bell, as well as a satin or organza ribbon. In the photo, a crocheted plastic circle was sewn to the bell. It's very convenient and beautiful. You can tie a ribbon bow to the ring or simply put it on a branch.

Processing bells

In order to ready product kept its shape and performed its main function, it needs to be processed. With your own hands I created a knitted bell hook, the pattern and pattern do not matter, you need to put it on a cone made of thick cardboard prepared in advance. To prevent the paper from softening, you need to wrap it in plastic and only then put on the bell.

If the product has a shape other than a cone, then the base should be given a corresponding appearance. As an alternative, light bulbs, cups, shaped vases and other objects of suitable shape are used.

Having placed the bell on the mold, it is generously moistened with a solution of starch, PVA glue or gelatin. After complete drying, it becomes durable and voluminous. New Year's bell crochet Pattern patterns with large holes can result in a very soft fabric. In this case, you can soak the product with the solution several times.
