Easter wreath - bunny ears EN

  

In this video I'll show you how to make the basic Easter Bunny Wreath (styrofoam half-ring, ears and bow).

I will publish tutorials for ornaments (flowers,leaves, eggs) in next videos on YouTube.

TUTORIAL on youtube for basic wreath:


MATERIALS (bought in PIMOTKI Polish shop):

- polyester cord 3 mm: 

light grey (2 skeins)

sweet pink (1 skein)

- crochet hook 3.5 mm

- styrofoam half-ring 

(circuit: 78 cm, diameter: 25 cm, inner hole diameter: 13 cm, circuit of the ring: 18 cm)

- pom pom

I was inspired by AI generated photos. AI-generated photos and patterns are flooding crochet groups these days. I treat them as sources of inspiration. This is a possibility of transferring a virtual thing to reality.

As for the cover for the ring, I crocheted in BLO (back loop only) sc and dc alternately.

It gives the cover more elasticity.


Start the COVER.

I work single crochets V, not X [I show it in my video - look at video description].

Try the cover for your ring after crocheting a few rows. If you see that there should be more stitches in a row, add more chains at the beginning.

It also depends on the yarn or crochet hook you use.


Work in rows.

Row 1: ch 26, insert the hook in 2nd ch and work 25 sc [25].

In the end 1 turning chain (tch) and turn.

Row 2: 25 dc in BLO, 1 turning chain (tch) and turn.

For the beginning stitch I was inspired by Bella Colo tutorial (I give you link in video description).

Then work rows of scs and dcs alternately.

Row 3: 25 sc in BLO, 1 tch, turn

Row 4: 25 dc in BLO, 1 tch, turn [I work the beginning of the row as I showed you]

I crochet until I run out of 1 skein. I crocheted 45 rows after run out of 1 skein of yarn.

I get rectangle 18 cm x 47 cm. 

18 cm = circuit of small ring

Crochet until you get 58 rows.


I try the cover.

I choose side with narrow "lines" [scs facing you].

It depends on you which side to choose.

Join the edges of the cover with sl sts - in the tutorial I explain you how I to join.


While designing the pattern, after running out of 1 skein og light grey, I crocheted ears because I was afraid that I would run out of gray color before I make the ears.

Finally everything was OK, so I skip the part while editing and in the video the cover part is in whole

and next I show you how to crochet the ears.


***

EAR - INNER PART (pink)

pink cord 3 mm, crochet hook 3.5 mm

Crochet in rows, 1 turning chain in the end of each row.

Crochet from top to bottom.

Row 1: Start with ch 2, insert the hook in 2nd ch from the hook and work inc, 1 tch, turn [2].

Row 2: 2 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 3: inc x 2, 1 tch, turn [4]

Row 4: 4 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 5: inc, 2 sc, inc, 1 tch, turn [6]

Row 6-16 (11 rows): 6 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 17: dec, 2 sc, dec, 1 tch, turn [4]

Row 18: 4 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 19: dec x 2, 1 tch, turn [2]

Row 20: 2 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 21: dec [1]


EAR - OUTER PART (grey)

light grey cord 3 mm, crochet hook 3.5 mm

Crochet in rows, from top to bottom.

Row 1: Start with ch 2, insert the hook in 2nd ch from the hook and work 3 sc in one st, 1 tch, turn [3].

Row 2: 3 inc, 1 tch, turn [6]

Row 3: inc, 4 sc, inc, 1 tch, turn [8]

Row 4: 8 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 5: inc, 6 sc, inc, 1 tch, turn [10]

Row 6-16 (11 rows): 10 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 17: dec, 6 sc, dec, 1 tch, turn [8]

Row 18: 8 sc, 1 tch, turn

Row 19: dec, 4 sc, dec, 1 tch, turn [6]

Row 20: 3 dec, 1 tch, turn [3]

Row 21: 3 sc together [1]

Don't cut the light grey cord, we'll join two parts with single crochets.

We have to find the opposite rows of the same side (wrong or right).

I chose the even rows (wrong part) facing me.

Before sewing I need to attach two parts with yarn or markers. 

Crochet 3 sc in one st on the top.


BOW

grey cord 3 mm, crochet hook 3.5 mm

Row 1: ch 8, insert the hook in 4th ch and work dc.

Crochet remaining 4 dc in the row. [6]

Work in rows.

6 dc in each row.

Insert the hook under both loops.

Rows 1-15: dc in each stitch.

I have 15 rows.

Now I will crochet the edge around the grey rectangle with pink cord.

I crochet single crochets around. In the corner I work 3 sc in one st.

Everything, step by step, is shown in the vieo, so I highly recommend you to watch while crocheting. Written pattern is helpful but the tutorial gives you full view and explanation on the pattern. 

 

I will crochet narrow rectangle to wrap around the bow.

ch 11, insert the hook in 2nd ch and work 10 sc.

If you think the bow is too stiffen/rigid, you may crochet half of the rectangle 

(single bow, then don't fold the bow).

I wrap the narrow rectangle around the folded bow and sew.

Sew the bow and pom pom to the wreath.

 

The basic wreath is finished :)
