Crochet a large ball step by step. How beautiful to tie balloons

The ball is an impeccable geometric figure, therefore the number of loops can be mathematically calculated so that it is specifically impeccable.

Here, in a detailed master class, you can see how to crochet a flawless ball. crochet knitting patterns

It will also be needed by everyone who makes toys, also wants to make knitted beads without filling. Such balls will be needed for craftswomen for slingobus and decorations in a natural, natural style.

Why reinvent the wheel? Balls are knitted according to a certain pattern. Amigurami ring with 6 loops. 2 row: in each increase (12 loops). 3 row: 1 column, increase - 6 times (18) 4 row: 2 columns, increase - 6 times, etc. to the right size. Then in the middle of several rows without increases and decreases in the reverse order. In the process of knitting, it seems that the ball is not even, but when you stuff it everything is fine.

Crocheting a soft ball is quite easy. You can make it a solid color, or you can make it a little more difficult and make it multi-colored and striped. You can even make tiny balls to frame your current project with a special knitting technique called bobble chain.

Steps

Small plain soft ball

    Tie an adjustable loop on your crochet hook near the folded end. Knit two air loops from the initial loop.

    • When you are done, you will have your first round. In this circle, six air loops are obtained.
    • In the second full circle, you should get a total of 12 loops.
  1. Alternate from two loops with a single crochet to one. On the third round, single crochet 2 into the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet into the second stitch of the previous round. Repeat in the same pattern, using each loop of the previous round.

  2. Make three circles with a single crochet. From the fourth to the sixth rounds, single crochet in each loop of the previous round.

    • Knit the fourth circle in the loops of the third circle, knit the fifth in the loops of the fourth, the sixth in the loops of the fifth.
    • In each circle, 18 loops should be obtained.
    • As you complete the sixth circle, you need to turn the ball outward to improve its appearance.
  3. Decrease the number of stitches with a single crochet on the next round. Single crochet in the first two stitches of the previous row. After that, knit one single crochet into the next loop. Repeat everything again.

    • In total, in the seventh round, you should get 18 loops.
    • You have already reached the middle of your ball, and now you are starting to narrow it with each step. In principle, you will knit the same rows as in the first half, but in reverse order.
  4. Hit the ball. Fill a balloon with fiberfill, dried beans, or plastic bags.

    • If you take something small, like dried beans, you will have to complete one more circle first before filling the balloon. But if you wait longer, filling it will be incredibly difficult.
  5. Decrease the number of stitches again with a single crochet. In the eighth round, single crochet in every two loops of the previous round. Repeat everything again.

    • There should be six loops in total.
  6. Decrease again with a single crochet on the ninth and last round. Work one single crochet in every two stitches of the previous row, and repeat.

    • There should be three loops.
  7. Fasten the end. Cut the yarn, leaving a long end. Drape it over the hook and pull it through the loop on the hook, creating a knot to keep the ball from unraveling.

    • Weave the remaining tip into the loops of the balloon to hide it.

    1. With a crochet hook, make a slip loop (or initial loop) and knit two loops. Tie an adjustable loop on your crochet hook near the folded end. Knit two air loops from the initial loop.

      • Connect the loops with a half-column to get the initial circle.
    2. Work six single crochets. Make six single crochets, starting from the second loop from the hook, i.e. first air loop.

      • When you are done, you will have your first round.
    3. Work two single crochets into each previous stitch. Finish the second round by making two single crochets in each of the loops with a single crochet of the previous row.

      • We advise you to use contrasting pieces of yarn, bright paper clips or plastic markers to mark the end of the circle. It concerns this circle as well as the following ones. This will make it easier for you to keep track of the start and end of each lap.
      • There should be 12 stitches in total.
    4. Go from two loops with a single crochet to one. On the third round, single crochet into the next stitch of the previous round, then work two single crochets into the next stitch of the previous round. Repeat in the same pattern until the end of the circle.

      • There should be 18 stitches in total.
    5. Change color and single crochet for the fourth round. To make a stripe, take a skein of the second color, do not use the working thread that you have now. Make the fourth round, single crochet once in the next two loops and twice in the next loop. Work in the same pattern to the end of the round.

      • There should be a total of 24 loops in this round.
    6. Alternate two loops with a single crochet with one. On the fifth round, work one single crochet in each of the next three stitches, and then two single crochets in the next stitch. Repeat until the end of the circle.

      • You should get 30 loops.
    7. In the sixth round, add more loops. Continue to increase the size of the ball by single crochet in each of the next four loops of the previous round. After that, make two single crochets in the loop that follows them. Repeat until the end of the circle.

      • This will give you 36 stitches.
    8. Change the color and keep increasing the size of the ball. Return to the first color on the seventh round. Work one single crochet into each of the next five stitches, then work two single crochets into the next stitch. Repeat in the same pattern until the end of the circle.

      • In total, you will get 42 loops.
    9. Again add the number of single crochets for the next six rounds. You will repeat the same pattern for circles 8-13 inclusive. Change color again at the end of the ninth circle, and then return to the original color at the end of the twelfth circle.

      • 8th round: one single crochet in each of the next six loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 48.
      • 9th round: one single crochet in each of the next seven loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 54.
      • 10th round: one single crochet in each of the next eight loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 60.
      • 11th round: one single crochet in each of the next nine loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 66.
      • 12th round: one single crochet in each of the next ten loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 72.
      • 13th round: one single crochet in each of the next eleven loops, and two single crochets in the next. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 78.

At the sight of a balloon, there is a foretaste of the holiday. And the composition of such elements causes double delight. Let's learn about the secrets of creating such an attractive and elegant decor for decorating a family celebration in more detail. After all, repeating such a technique yourself is much easier than it seems at first glance.

How beautiful to tie the balls

Let's start with a description of the basic accessories that will be useful in the job. Here it is important to decide on the material of the composition - balls. People with experience in creating such structures prefer to purchase special kits. The finished kit contains 1,000 pieces for modeling. The diameter of such products is of three types:

    5"";

    9"";

    12"".

Moreover, when choosing a material, the masters talk about the advantages of latex. In order to please the result of the trial aero design, purchase medium-sized balls - it is easier to fasten such elements. Pay attention to the texture and color of the kit. Here are the following classes:

    translucent models "Crystal";

    products with mother-of-pearl tint "Metallic";

    matte decor "Pastel".

In addition, you need to stock up on a pump to inflate the links of the future decor, colored ribbons, fishing line and other components as desired. The masters recommend tying the inflated element into a knot - this technique reduces the time at the preparatory stage. After completing the necessary formalities, it is time to move on to the creative process.

Attention!
For a strong connection, it is appropriate to tie the details of the general idea in pairs. This technique guarantees a reliable and simple "foundation" of the composition.

If we apply the technique of pairwise twisting, designers achieve additional forms: “fours” and “crosses”. Such options for blanks are used when weaving arches, columns or garlands. As for technologies, there are such types:

    Pair.

The technology is described above and involves the mutual fastening of the tails of 2 balls.

    Tape fastening.

In this case, ribbons of different lengths are tied to the blanks. The second step is linking the elements together. Through such a connection,get a beautiful and original composition.

    Line fixing.

The base mount is pulled across the room. It is important to firmly fix the ends of the thread. The next step involves tying the blanks themselves to the fishing line. Additional decor will give this design a special charm.

In addition, it will be possible to make original three-dimensional objects from the prepared paired elements. A simple example of such a decor is the "flower". We offer step-by-step instructions for creating a finished bouquet for 3 daisies:

    we make 12 pairs of white matte balls of large diameter twisted together;

    inflate 3 small yellow balloons;

    we connect ready-made pairs into “fours”;

    fix the yellow elements in the center of the structure.

The result is three flowers, which we attach to long green balls. In this case, it is appropriate to decorate the places of twisting with a ribbon.

By a similar principle, it will be possible to create objects of any class that fantasy tells. However, for people who do not yet have a "full" hand, it is appropriate to start with simple and light forms.

How to tie a garland from balloons

Arches, columns and ordinary hanging compositions benefit from volume and an unusual look. To make such a design, you need to apply basic knowledge of mathematics. For 1 meter of the finished garland we buy:

    with a ball diameter of 5 "- 40 pieces for 10 bundles;

    circle in 9 "- 28 pcs. for 7 blanks;

    size in 12" - 24 pieces for 6 "fours".

The string will become the axis of the future composition. In this case, the length of the fishing line is the length of the future product with the addition of a margin of 3 m. If you plan to fill the balls with an inert gas, stock up on cargo. In the role of a sinker, a ball filled with water is suitable. This technique will hold the structure in place.

The methodology for performing work involves the following sequence:

    preparation of elements;

    tying a pair with ponytails;

    twisting paired blanks into "fours";

    pulling the axis through the center of the balls;

    attaching the next workpiece.

At the preparatory stage, we observe the dimensions of the inflated balloons. Here they practice the creation of a modular hole, the diameter of which corresponds to the workpiece.

To securely fix the structure on the base, the masters advise to unwind 2 balls, draw a tape or fishing line between them, and then swap both elements in a clockwise direction.

Important!
During the assembly of the structure, make sure that each "four" takes the required position. The subsequent movement of the workpieces will damage individual elements and alter the composition.

The decor of the base of the garland is any design. Flowers are appropriate here, the technology for creating which was mentioned above, or ordinary bundles on ribbons of different lengths. In a word, the implementation of such an idea is a creative process. As a result, the novice master will please both himself and loved ones.

There are many different technologies to decorate the right room for a festive event. But the decoration with balls gives more freedom to implement design solutions, create all kinds of decorative elements. In addition, decorating birthdays, wedding events with their help, gives others a whole lot of positive emotions.


You can buy balls of various colors, transparency, different sizes and shapes. Buy ready-made or do it yourself, interesting compositions or figures. Inflating balloons on your own, a natural question arises - what and how best to do it, how to tie balloons beautifully and correctly for different compositions.

How can you tie balloons?

There are two ways to tie balloons:

  • using thread;
  • without thread.

In the first case, before tying the tip of the ball, you will need a thread about 20 cm long (a longer piece of thread is taken for hanging). Further:

  1. The balloon is inflated, leaving a sufficient tail.
  2. One hand pinches the body of the "bubble" near the base.
  3. Twisted several times (from 3 to 5 revolutions around the axis).
  4. The base is wrapped with thread (about 5 turns), carefully, without damaging the rubber.
  5. The knot is pulled.

The second method allows you to quickly tie the ball into a tight knot and save time. For this you need:

How to properly inflate a balloon?

When inflating the "bubble", you need to follow a few simple rules:

It is worth inflating so that the shape resembles a drop.
Do not blow too tight - it will burst, ruining the holiday, it can scare the child.
Leave a tail long enough for easy tying.

When properly inflated, the color of the finished balloon should be paler than the uninflated one.

Blowing a large number of balls with your mouth is a rather unpleasant process.

For this it is better to use:

The blank is put on the tube of the pump (cylinder). Apply air (gas) and inflate the balloon. The main thing is to observe tightness and make sure that no matter what it flies off the hose.

Another easy way to fill a balloon with air at home:

Composition of balloons

To create a composition you will need:

  • special balloons, which are sold in packs of 100 pieces (size is available 5; 9; 12 inches);
  • paper decorative ribbons, fishing line.

The compositions use balls tied with a simple knot without the use of threads. To tie them, attach the "bubbles" to each other. Tie the balloons together as shown in the pictures:

When creating compositions for children, you can use the so-called "sausage" balls for modeling. They will help to make not only simple round decorations, but also add various figures to them.

Basic figures from balls

The main figures that you need to be able to do include:

Deuce. Two balls are connected to each other. It turns out a figure eight, fastened with tips (double knot).

Four. It is performed by twisting two deuces. The result is a shape resembling a cross.

Having learned to knit the basic shapes, they begin to manufacture various designs. By stringing latex air "fours" on a rope (fishing line), you can form simple or multi-colored garlands from balloons.

How to make a flower from round balls

To make a flower you will need:

  • 4-5 round, one-color balls (they will go to the petals);
  • Balls of a different color and smaller size, for the middle.

Flower formation process:

  1. Petals inflate the same size;
  2. Two "twos" are connected (if there are 5 petals, the third "bubble" is attached to one of them);
  3. Bind together;
  4. In the middle, threading the tail, the center (small ball) is inserted.

This is how it looks on the video:

The finished flower can be tied to a ribbon or planted on a leg of long "sausages":

Such simple, multi-colored decorations will be relevant for any holiday. And with a bouquet made of them, you can please a loved one.

How to tie balloons?

You can knit balls in several ways:

Tails, without the use of threads. The ends must be twisted. Knit in pairs using a double knot.



With decorative ribbons. Each large ball is tied to a separate ribbon. Then the ribbons are tied up, forming a "bouquet".

Fastening on a fishing line (string, frame). In turn, each of the balls is attached to the string at an equal distance (tied with tails).

Using a wire, tying already pre-tied balls.

You need to be very careful when handling the wire so as not to damage the latex.

Ball rolling technique

It is necessary to make figures from special balls (SDM with a size of 260). For these purposes, you need to master simple twisting techniques:

1) Simple. The ball twists several times, creating separate compartments.

2) With lock. A long balloon is twisted 4 times in a simple way. The two middle compartments are twisted three times, having previously taken them away from the extreme bubbles.

3) With an inflection. The ball folded in half is twisted at the ends. It turns out three compartments. One with a loop and one on each end.

Having mastered these techniques, you can start making various funny figures.

Classic balloon dog

The dog is one of the simplest figurines. It is done as follows:

On the classic model, you can experiment. Make a longer body and short legs. There will be a resemblance to a dachshund. By changing the muzzle, a tail tied in a different way - they give a resemblance to a poodle.

How to make a poodle dog out of a balloon, shown in the video tutorial:

It took only one ball to make, and the use of the same classic twisting techniques. Thus, by connecting fantasy, you can make dogs of various shapes and breeds. Including various fairy tale characters.

Interior decoration will be especially solemn and elegant if original compositions are made from balloons. After spending 10 minutes on training, you will get a result that both you and your guests will like!

Balloon flowers

To create the petals and the middle of the flower, you will need balls of different shades. We will connect the balls with the help of their tails. If you work on your own, then first fix the ends of the balls with a knot or thread.

petals

All elements must be of equal size, otherwise the flower will be ugly. Inflate a couple of balloons and tie them by the tails into two knots. Do the second "two" in the same way. Roll the pairs. Adjust the composition so that all the balls are in the same plane.

middle

Take one ball of contrasting color. Inflate it so that the diameter of the bubble is smaller than the diameter of the "petals". Tie the element to the finished four by tying the ponytails. Place the balloon on top of the petals, in the middle.

The flower is ready!

How to tie balloons into a garland?

Depending on what result you want to get, choose balls of the same tone or multi-colored. To tie the elements of the garland together, you will need a thread - thin twine, narrow decorative packaging tape, etc. You can take a thin fishing line, but you will have to work with it carefully so as not to damage the balls.

  • Inflate two balloons and tie them by the tails.
  • Make a second similar "two".
  • Twist two pairs into a "four". All balls must be in the same plane!
  • Make the required number of "fours" - of which we will fold the garland.
  • Take the first "four". Tie the end of the twine/ribbon at the junction of the balloons.
  • Put the second element of the garland on top. Check that the balls are symmetrical with respect to each other. Tape the new four to the existing one with the help of a fixed thread.
  • Put the next element on top, check the symmetry and wind the part.
  • Thus, fold the garland to the desired length.

Here you can buy balls of any shape, color and texture from the best manufacturers in the world. Available in a variety of colors, ready-made kits are available. We will please you with pleasant prices, bonus offers, convenient terms of payment and delivery.
