Crochet bell. Patterns and description, master classes

Knitted bells are considered an excellent decoration for the home. This decor can be used as a New Year's toy, and also hung above a window or front door. A crocheted bell can be a detail when decorating school classrooms during the last bells. Below you can see detailed patterns and descriptions on how to knit toys.

Necessary materials and tools

The crochet bell (the diagram and description are provided for informational purposes) will look original if you use cotton yarn for knitting, the thickness of which will be the same as the “Iris” threads, 50 g contains 320 m.

The hook should correspond to numbers from 0.9 to 1.15. At the same time, the diameter should match the thickness of the knitting threads. Beginners are recommended to choose a tool made of one material. Thanks to this, you can control the degree of tension of the yarn and adjust it in a timely manner.

Features of crocheting toys:

What is required	Nuances of work
Amount of yarn	To knit one toy, it is enough to stock up on a small amount of thread, so you can use various remnants that are left over from previous products. In this case, they can be of different colors. A bell looks unusual and original if some rows contain gold yarn. It is also permissible to do colored embroidery on a finished part.
Giving rigidity	To add rigidity, you need to prepare a starch solution. You will need to dip the knitted part into the mixture for about 5 minutes, then squeeze it out. To create the solution, dissolve 38 g of starch in a small amount of cool water. The mixture should be gradually poured into the boiling liquid and stirred constantly. When the mixture becomes thick, the solution can be removed from the stove and cooled to a warm state. The total volume of liquid should be about 500 ml. You can use potato or corn starch. The choice of product does not affect the degree of rigidity of the knitted toy.
Maintaining the required shape	To maintain a certain shape, the product must be stretched over a ball of yarn of the appropriate size or a balloon. It is also acceptable to use any object that has a round top. It is necessary to fix the head of the toy by straightening the skirt of the bell. The product should remain in this form until it is completely dry.
Using additional decor	Once the bell has taken the desired shape, it can be decorated with beads, pompoms, braid or a bow.

Bellflower with leaves

A crochet bell (the diagram and description will tell beginning needlewomen how to crochet the toy correctly) can be made from red yarn, additionally decorated with leaves and curls.

As a result, the knitted toy will be elegant and beautiful. The height of the product will be 11.5 cm, the diameter - 10.5 cm. For knitting, you will need to take a hook No. 0.85, as well as "Iris" threads, 6 g white and 30 g red. The yarn should be 100% cotton.

Work execution scheme:

1. Using a hook with red thread, make a chain of 8 air elements, closing them into a circle with a connecting column.
2. For the hole, make a chain of 15 air elements, attaching them to the ring with a connecting post.
3. To form the first row, make a lifting chain stitch and 20 single crochet stitches into the resulting ring. Finish the row with a connecting stitch.

5. Perform similar manipulations, forming 19 rows. All rows should end with a connecting column.
6. To create 3 leaves, use white threads to make a chain of 14 air elements. 13 air holes should be the base and 1 – an additional air element.
7. To complete the first row, thread a single crochet into the third air hole in the chain from the tool.
8. 10 single crochet stitches are made into the next 10 chain stitches of the base chain.
9. Thread 4 single crochet stitches through the new air holes in the base of the chain from the tool.
10. Pass 10 single crochet stitches through the next 10 air holes of the base of the chain, but from the opposite side.
11. The work should be continued in forward and reverse rows until row 7 is created.
12. To create a curl, use white threads to make a chain of 63 air elements. 60 should be the base, 3 – additional.
13. For row 1, make 4 double crochet stitches into the fourth chain stitch from the tool. Make 58 double crochet stitches into the next chain stitch from the tool.
