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!

Cosmetic bag "Watermelon" is designed for small accessories and cosmetics. You can keep the finished cosmetic bag for yourself or give it to your best friend with love and warmth.

We tie the sides of the cosmetic bag (red) with cloves along the rounded sides (the location of the zipper).

We embroider seeds with black yarn.

We cut the lining fabric and synthetic winterizer according to the pattern. Give a seam allowance. Sew.

Put a synthetic winterizer, a lining in a knitted base of a cosmetic bag. Sew by hand.

For work you will need:

• "Iris" of red, white, dark green and light green colors;
• hook 1.3 mm;
• cardboard;
• stuffing material (synthetic winterizer or cotton wool);
• needle;
• bobbin threads in green and black.

Legend:

• Stsn - double crochet

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:

It is difficult to imagine a modern woman without a cosmetic bag, which contains magical cosmetics that can come in handy during the day. Due to frequent use, the cosmetic bag becomes unusable, a woman has to buy a new one. It's just that you don't have to buy it. If you know the basics of crochet, you can become the owner of a pretty "Watermelon Slice". Needlewomen will appreciate an easy-to-make cosmetic bag knitted from the remnants of yarn. A beautiful cosmetic bag will be a convenient addition to a woman's handbag. A watermelon slice tied with your own hands can be presented to a friend or mother. To knit such a cosmetic bag you do not need special skills, it fits easily and quickly. You will need several hours to make it, as well as leftover red, green, pink and black yarn, a needle with a wide eye, a number 3 hook and a zipper (preferably green in the color of the yarn).

We start with a red thread from an air loop. From the resulting loop, we crochet 4 air loops and close the knitting in a circle. Next, we knit in a circle 6 RLS (single crochet). While knitting, you need to monitor the tension of the thread so that the circle turns out to be even and beautiful. After the first row is knitted, continue knitting as follows: in each row, add 6 loops evenly. Increase by knitting two loops into one loop of the previous row. In total, you should get 13 rows connected with a red thread (more can be). Finally, cut the red thread and fasten off. If desired, the size of the cosmetic bag can be increased or decreased by tying a small or vice versa large circle.

When the base of the future red cosmetic bag will be connected. It is necessary to knit 1 row with a pink thread. If you do not have pink, you can take a white or yellow thread. Knit in the same way with an increase of 6 loops in each row. At the end, cut the pink thread and fasten it from the wrong side.

The last step in knitting is knitting green rows. Now you have to knit 3 rows, also adding 6 loops in each row. When knitting is finished, you need to cut the thread and fasten off. Straighten the finished blank under the cosmetic bag and lightly iron.

Now we take a black thread, thread it into a needle with a wide eye and embroider stitches in the form of watermelon seeds. If desired, the seeds can be embroidered with black beads.

Next, we proceed to the assembly of cosmetic bags in the form of a watermelon slice. We bend the resulting circle in half and sew a zipper on the upper part. If the zipper is longer than it should be, it can be cut off and the edge secured with a seam. In my version, the zipper is not long, I sewed up the free edges with a green thread. You can sew a zipper by hand or on a sewing machine. When the zipper is sewn in, it remains to turn the cosmetic bag on the front side, straighten it and fill it with cosmetics so that it takes the desired shape. If desired, you can sew a lining for a cosmetic bag, then it will last you longer and look more aesthetically pleasing.
