How to work: how to crochet a watermelon and a watermelon slice, step by step

Watermelon

We begin to knit a watermelon with dark green threads.

1st row: Cast on ch 20.

2nd row: sbn, 17 stsn, sbn.

3rd row: ch, 2 pst, 15 sc, 2 pst.

4 row: We change the thread to light green, without cutting the dark green thread - ch, sbn, 17 stsn, sbn.

5 row: ch, 2 pst, 15 sc, 2 pst.

6 - 7 rows: We knit similarly to the 2nd and 3rd rows with dark green threads.

8 - 9 rows: We knit similarly to the 4th and 5th rows with light green threads.

Alternating strips of light green and dark green, we knit in the same way until the 33rd row.

We cut the thread 15 cm long. We close the knitting.

We sew a barrel of watermelon. We collect the lower part of the watermelon for assembly with the remaining tail of the thread, tighten the thread and fasten it. Turn the watermelon right side out.

We fill the watermelon with filler. We collect the top of the watermelon on the threads, trim and tighten. We fix the thread.

watermelon tail

We knit with dark green threads. We collect 5 ch, we knit 4 sc from them. We knit 3 ch, in the first ch of a chain of 5 ch next to the fourth sc we knit 8 sts, pst in the third ch.

We sew the tail to the watermelon in the place where the edge of its part was assembled.

slice of watermelon

We start knitting with red threads.

1 row: ch 3 in the ring.

2 row: 6 sc from the ring.

3rd row: 12 sc.

4 row: (increase, 3 sc) – three times. (15 sc)

5 row: (increase, 4 sc) - three times. (18 sc)

6 row: (increase, 5 sc) - three times. (21 sc)

7th row: We connect the white thread - (increase, 6 sbn) - three times. (24 sc)

8 row: We connect the green thread - (increase, 7 sbn) - three times. (27 sc)

Cut out a circle of cardboard with a diameter equal to the diameter of the slice.

We bend the circle in half and insert it into a slice.

We connect the edges of the slice with each other with semi-columns from edge to edge. We embroider seeds with black bobbin threads.

Here is such a crochet watermelon and a watermelon slice as a result:

Materials: 200 g of Souffle yarn (100% acrylic, 270m/100g) red-pink, 50 g dark green and 30 g each light pink and light green. 10 g of Iris yarn (100% cotton, 150m/25g) in black. Hook number 3. Thick needle with a wide eye for embroidery. Thick cardboard.
Performance: Knit a flat circle of sc with red yarn. To do this, connect 4 VPs into a ring using the SS and in the 1st row, tie 6 RLS into a ring. Continue knitting SC in a spiral, adding 6 SC evenly in each row. Make increments sliding. So knit 19 rows. Then knit 1 row in light pink, continuing to increase, then 1 row in light green and 4 rows in dark green without increments (120 sc in total in a row).

Embroider watermelon seeds with black yarn.
Fold a slice of watermelon in half and sew end-to-end along the dark green edge. In the corners, tuck part of the green strapping into the seam to make a real slice of watermelon.
But I don't really like this way of stitching. To make it convenient to sew a slice of watermelon, you will have to work a little. Dark green strapping is best done as follows. 1st row of dark green knit completely. Lock the sl-st row at the top of the 1st sc of the row. Fasten off the thread (pull up a loop, pull the ball into the loop and tighten the thread). Skip 5 columns before. row, attach the thread to the 6th column, stretching the broach from the place where the thread is fixed. Tie 50 sc, fasten the thread, skip 10 columns before. row, attach the thread to the next column, tie 50 sc and fasten the thread - this is the 2nd green row. We divided the harness into the right and left parts, between which we form a broach of thread. Then we continue to knit in a circle. On the left side, stepping back from the edge of 5 columns, attach the thread, tie 40 RLS and fasten the thread. Do the same on the right side of the harness - this is the 3rd row of green. In the 4th row, similarly, knit only 30 sc on each part of the strapping. And we immediately in the process of knitting set the shape of a watermelon slice convenient for stitching. Now you can sew the slice just end-to-end. All broaches when stitching are simply tucked inside the slices.

Before stitching, insert a rigid frame inside the slices so that the watermelon slice holds its shape. As a frame, you can use thick cardboard. From cardboard, cut out circles with a radius equal to the radius of the inner (red-pink) part of the watermelon slice. Fold the circle in half and insert the slices inside. To make the frame more rigid between the edges of the bent cardboard circle, you can insert a spacer, also made of cardboard (see diagram and photo) or put pieces of foam rubber.

So do 10 circles - slices of watermelon.
Knit another dark green circle, consisting of 12-14 rows. Attach all watermelon slices at one end to this circle. One slice can be left alone.

Ready watermelon put in a deep plate of a suitable size. Place a single slice next to it.

The kitchen is a special place in the house. It should be bright, cozy and beautiful, because it is there that the hostess spends a lot of time cooking. One of the best ways to decorate the kitchen is to knit potholders in the form of animals, flowers, fruits, berries. To keep a piece of summer in your home, you should add a simple crochet watermelon potholder to this collection. Juicy, sweet berry will remind you of hot summer days even in the snowiest winter.

Scheme

For knitting the potholder, a standard crochet circle pattern is used. Below are two options - each of them can be used. The difference is in the distribution of gains.

In this scheme, the increases are “scattered” in a circle, they are almost imperceptible.

In the diagram below, the increments from row to row are arranged one above the other. This method is simpler, but when knitting from certain types of yarn, the gains become very noticeable.

Description

VP- air loop, SSN- double crochet, SS- connecting column.

Knit with red thread. Please note: in this description, knitting follows the second pattern.

Dial 6 VP, close in a ring with the help of SS.

1 row: 3 VP, 11 SSN in the ring. Finish the sl-st row in the last ch of the row.

2 row: 3 VP, 1 SSN at the base of the first VP, * 2 dc in one loop

3 row: 3 VP, 1 SSN at the base of the first VP, 1 SSN, * 2 dc in one loop, 1 dc* - repeat to the end of the row. Finish the sl-st row in the last ch of the row.

4 row: 3 VP, 1 SSN at the base of the first VP, 2 SSN, * 2 CCH in one loop, 2 CCH* - repeat to the end of the row. Finish the sl-st row in the last ch of the row.

5 row: Ch 1, sc to end of row. Finish the row of SS in the first VP, while changing the color of the thread to white.

6 row: 3 VP, 1 SSN at the base of the first VP, 3 SSN, * 2 CCH in one loop, 3 CCH* - repeat to the end of the row. Finish the row of sl-st in the last VP of the row, while changing the color of the thread to green.

7 row: Ch 1, sc to end of row. Finish the SS row in the first ch. Fasten the thread and cut.

Similarly, tie the second part - the tack will be two-layer. When you finish knitting the second part, do not cut the thread - you will need it to tie the parts together.

Decorate each part of the watermelon by embroidering the seeds with a black or dark brown thread.

Attach two round pieces to each other. Start connecting them: grab the loops of two parts at once, knitting half-columns. So they will be sewn without using a needle.

Having knitted the last row to the end, fasten the thread. Then dial a chain from the VP of the desired length for the loop. Close the loop by knitting the SS into the loop from which the VP were recruited.

Potholder "Watermelon" crochet is ready!

Video lesson

There are several more options for knitting potholders in the form of a watermelon. Each of them is beautiful in its own way. Below is a master class on knitting watermelon potholders in a different way. How do you like this result? No less beautiful potholder with a detailed explanation of the knitting process. Definitely, you need to try both options. And you can add them.

I was very inspired by this master class. The watermelon became the first berry of my fruit and berry bag.
I am posting a master class. Very affordable! You just need to be able to knit single crochets.
I took it from here http://blogs.mail.ru/mail/doroshenka/4BA5CA88348824CB..
» Dial 4 air loops with red threads and connect them into a ring.
1 row: in a circle - 6 sc
2 row: in each loop 2 sc (12)
3rd row: in every second loop, 2 sc (18)
Continue knitting, in each row adding 6 loops (in the 4th row - in every third, in the fifth loan underwriter - in every fourth, etc.) Knit 16 rows (96)

It turns out a red circle

Next, tie a white thread and make another circle, knitting 2 sc in each 16th loop.
After that, tie a light green thread and make another row, knitting 2 sc in every 17th loop. And finally, we tie a dark green thread and make three circles, adding 6 loops in each fha loan missouri.
I didn’t have dark green threads, and I wove the usual dark green thread for sewing into marsh-colored threads. It turned out very well.

Break the thread (I left the one for sewing). Cut a circle out of cardboard the same diameter as the red part of the watermelon.

Fold a cardboard circle along the diameter, cover with a circle of watermelon on top and start sewing from the corner, pushing a little cloth inward so that the watermelon takes the form of a real one

First, sew up both corners, then put foam rubber or synthetic winterizer between the cardboard halves so that the resulting watermelon holds its shape, and sew up the remaining hole. You will get such a slice.

Now we take black threads (I had floss) and embroider the seeds in random order.

Everything, our knitted watermelon is ready! You can make 10 such slices and put them on a plate, you get a whole watermelon, cut into slices.
Additions from me.
I knitted with my favorite iris.
Since I do not need a large slice, I only knitted 10 rows with red thread.

It is better to make a cardboard circle in diameter equal to the red plus white circle. And it is better to make a circle of long term debt consolidation loans not from cardboard, but from a dense white transparent film, then the watermelon can be washed.

There was an idea to make watermelon earrings and a watermelon wallet with a zipper.

Now a LITTLE SECRET from me :) not even one!

A watermelon can be made rustling - you need to put inside not a synthetic winterizer, but rustling candy wrappers. And make a circle not only from cardboard, but also from candy wrappers. Then the watermelon will rustle when the children squeeze it with their fingers.

Naturally, as with all knitted fruits and knitted vegetables, you can experiment with sizes, and then play big-small.

And also, according to the same description, but with threads of other colors, I knitted a slice of melon!

And you have a juicy, summer-like watermelon mood!
