Crocheted bunny eggcups

"Crochet bunny rabbit" is very easy!

You need Catania wool for this crocheting idea. From a ball of wool you can make about 6 egg cups with needle size 4. Here you work with two threads at the same time. This does not only result in an especially nice, firm and thick stitch pattern - your boiled eggs are kept better warm later. For the rabbit ears use needle size 3 and crochet with a simple thread.

Small "Crochet 1x1" for beginners
You start with an initial loop: form the end of the thread into a small "pretzel", pierce this loop with the crochet hook, pick up the thread and pull it through to a first stitch.

Warp stitch (KM):
The crochet hook is stitched in the next stitch. The pulled out loop is pulled through the loop on the crochet hook

Fixed stitch (FM):
The crochet hook is inserted in the next stitch. The pulled out loop remains on the crochet hook, with the crochet hook another loop is formed and pulled through both loops on the needle.

Chopsticks (Stb):
On the crochet hook a loop is formed, then the needle is stung in the next stitch, the pulled out loop is crocheted with a new new loop to a stitch, this and the stitch already on the needle are crocheted together with another loop.

Air stitch (LM):
With the crochet hook the thread is pulled as a new stitch through the loop on the needle.

Spiral air mesh (turn - LM):
Two air stitches are created with the crochet hook. Then thread is wound around the crochet hook as a loop, the needle is pulled through the first stitch of the beginning crochet row, first with the first stitch and then with the remaining stitch to form a new crochet stitch.

Crochet instructions are usually written with the abbreviations in brackets.

Each crochet round is closed with a KM, the new round is started with a turn LM.

Eierbecher bzw. Hasenkörper:

1. Runde:         Häkeln Sie 6 FM zu einem Fadenring, indem Sie alle Maschen aus derselben Schlaufe (Fadenring) fertigen
2. Runde:         6x je 2 FM in einer Masche fertigen (= 12 M)
3. Runde:         6x abwechselnd 1 FM, dann 2 FM in einer Masche häkeln (=18 M)
4. Runde:         18x je 1 FM in jeweils das hintere Maschenglied häkeln ( = 18 M)
5. Runde:         18x je 1 FM (= 18 M)
6. Runde:         6x abwechselnd je 2 FM, dann 2 FM in einer Masche häkeln (= 24 M)
7. – 9. Runde:  24x je 1 FM (je Runde 24 M)

Zum Abschluss einfach den Faden abschneiden, durch die letzte Masche ziehen und zu einem Knoten festziehen. Der Rest des Fadens wird in der Häkelarbeit unauffällig verstopft.
