From this article you will learn how to knit an oval. The oval pattern will consist of three parts: two semicircles and one rectangle; we will crochet the product.
We study in detail step-by-step crochet oval patterns for beginners
Semicircles are knitted according to the principle of circles with symmetrical wedges. Each semicircle must have its own center - an air loop. The semicircle consists of the following wedges:
- For double crochets - six wedges for each semicircle.
- For half double crochets - four wedges for each semicircle.
- For a single crochet - three wedges for each semicircle.
Increases in wedges are made in the same way as when knitting flat circles. Between the semicircles it is necessary to leave areas of straight knitting, in which there should be no increases for the cast-on chain. From these halves the result will be a rectangle that will separate the semicircles.
Knitting pattern for beginners.
The article is written for beginners, so a detailed description will be given for the scheme.
We cast on the required number of loops. In our case, we knitted according to the pattern and cast on twelve air loops plus three lifting air loops. There are fifteen air loops in total.
First row: We must insert the hook into the fourth loop and knit five double crochets.
We knit one single crochet into each loop of the chain. We repeat ten times.
We knit six double crochets into the last loop of the chain. In the same way, on the other side we knit one double crochet in each loop. We repeat ten times.
We close the row with a connecting post; to do this, we insert the hook into the three lifting air loops.
Second row: knit three lifting chain stitches. We knit one double crochet into the loop that you see in the picture.
In the next loop we knit two double crochets. We repeat it four times.
We knit one double crochet into each loop and knit two double crochets in each loop.
We knit ten double crochets and close the row with one connecting stitch.
Third row: we knit one double crochet into the base loop.
Fourth row: we knit three air loops of lifting, we knit one double crochet into the base loop. In the next pair of loops we knit one double crochet. After that, two more double crochets.
We knit one double crochet into the loops shown in the figure. We repeat this four times.
As a result, we get this result, similar to a mushroom.
We continue knitting and knit ten double crochets.
Repeat the previous step six more times.
We tie ten more double crochets. Our oval is almost ready.
Using a connecting post we close the row. We knit the column into the third lifting air loop.
If you want a larger oval, just continue knitting the oval according to the round rule and increase evenly for each row. In the same way, you can knit ovals from half double crochets and single crochets. To do this, use the following schemes:
If you are knitting an oval from single crochets, we recommend that you do not close the rows with connecting stitches, but knit in a spiral. Having mastered the oval knitting technique, you can knit various flower rugs, as well as napkins.

How to crochet an oval
How to crochet an oval
In this lesson you will learn how to crochet an oval. An oval is an extended circle; it can be conditionally divided into 3 component elements: two semicircles and a rectangle between them.
To knit an oval correctly, you need to imagine how a circle is knitted. This is discussed in detail in this lesson.
The technique of knitting semicircles is based on the technique of knitting a circle with symmetrical wedges. Each semicircle must have its own center - an air loop of the chain; each semicircle consists of several wedges:
- for double crochets - 6 wedges for each semicircle
- for half double crochets - 4 wedges for each semicircle
- for single crochets - 3 wedges for each semicircle
Increases in wedges are performed in the same way as when knitting flat circles. Between the semicircles there should be sections of straight knitting without increases on either side of the cast-on chain. These halves make a rectangle separating the semicircles.
Let's practice and knit an oval from double crochets according to this pattern:
oval crochet pattern
We cast on the required number of loops. I knitted according to the pattern 12 ch. + 3 v.p.p. (i.e. 15 vp)
1st row: insert the hook into the 4th loop of the chain from the hook and knit 5 tbsp. s/n,
in the last loop of the chain we knit 6 tbsp. s/n, knitting begins to turn,
similarly knit on the other side 1 tbsp. s/n in each loop 10 times (i.e. 10 treble s/n)
We close the row with a connecting column, inserting a hook into 3 vp.
For convenience, at this stage you can turn the diagram over and continue reading it also counterclockwise.
2nd row: knit 3 ch.p.p.,
*following we knit a loop 2 tbsp. s/n*
knit 10 tbsp. s/n
3rd row: knit 3 ch.p.p.
in the same base loop we knit 1 tbsp. s/n,
next knit a loop 1 tbsp. s/n,
next knit a loop 1 tbsp. s/n*,
repeat from * 4 more times,
knit 10 tbsp. s/n,
*following we knit a loop 2 tbsp. s/n,
next 1 tbsp. s/n*,
we close the row of connections. st., inserting the hook into 3 ch.
4th row: knit 3 ch.p.p.,
in the same base loop we knit 1 tbsp. s/n,
in the next two loops we knit 1 tbsp. s/n (2 tbsp. s/n),
*following we knit a loop 2 tbsp. s/n,
next two loops of 1 tbsp. s/n (2 st. s/n)*,
then repeat from * 6 times,
knit 10 tbsp. s/n,
we close the row of connections. st., inserting the hook into 3 ch.
Also, you can knit ovals from half double crochets and single crochets using these patterns:

knitting pattern for oval single crochets
It is better to knit an oval made of single crochets without closing the rows with connecting stitches, but to knit in a spiral; we will talk about this method of circular knitting in the following lessons.
Now, knowing how to knit, you can knit multi-colored rugs or coasters.
Oval-shaped parts can be used as the bottom of a bag or the sole of booties.

In the pattern you can use several colors of yarn of the 1st color or several contrasting colors of yarn. You can also use sectionally dyed yarn so as not to break or hide the ends of the threads after every one or two rows, as in the example.
Description of crochet pattern:
Knitting begins with knitting individual motifs in the form of a semicircle according to the pattern. Make the required number of motifs for the width of the product. During the knitting process, the motifs are joined or stitched at the edges, and for knitting in the round they need to be joined into a circle.
Start knitting the motif with a chain of 10 chains. loops, which you close into a ring of connections. Art. Do 3 air. lifting loops and knit 10 sts from the ring. For the second row, do 3 air. lifting loops, then knit st s/n through one air. loop. Having finished the row, cut and fasten the thread.
To start knitting the third row, attach a thread of a different color, make 3 chain stitches and knit “bumps” - 3 treble stitches with a common top from each arch of the previous row. Between the cones, knit one air. loop. Finish the row of st s/n, make 3 air. lifting loops and knit back a row of st s/n. Having finished the row, cut and fasten the thread.
To knit the 5th and 6th row, attach a thread of a new color and knit according to the pattern.
Then, like the first, knit subsequent motifs for the first row. After finishing the motif, do not immediately cut the thread. Make a connecting stitch with a crochet stitch, connecting the connected motif to the previous one. To do this, insert the hook into the last half-loops of the two motifs and knit connecting posts. The seam from the base should be less than 6 loops long.
Make the motifs of the first row the width of the product and begin knitting the next row, knitting the motifs between 2 semicircles of the previous row. To do this, attach the thread to the side part, counting 14 loops from the top of the motif. Make 6 lifting loops and attach the arch to the reverse motif with a connecting post, also counting 14 loops from its top.
To proceed to knitting the first row, make 2 connecting stitches about the edge loops. Turn the work and knit the 1st row of st s/n. complete the row of joint st. from the side of the opposite motif. To proceed to knitting the next row, also make 2 connections. st., turn the work and knit the 2nd row of st s/n. after one air loop.
Finish the row of joints, cut and fasten the thread. Attach a thread of a new color to the side part, retreating one loop, and knit the 3rd row - “bumps” from each arch through one air. loop.
To knit the 5th and 6th rows, change the thread color again. When knitting subsequent motifs, connect their sides at the base, making a seam from the conn. st crochet less than 6 stitches.
If you need to knit a straight fabric, knit the last motifs as a quarter circle. To start knitting, attach the thread, make 3 air. loops and a double crochet stitch below on the side of the same motif. Next, make 3 lifting air loops and knit the 1st row and all the following rows, halving the number of knitting parts.
Knit rows of motifs to the appropriate length of the fabric. This pattern looks profitable when combining several colors of yarn. In the example, the color changes every two rows, but you can try changing the thread color every row, and if you don’t want to hide the ends of the threads, use sectionally dyed yarn for knitting
You can also knit a beautiful shawl with this pattern. To do this, make the first row of motifs the width of the fool, and subsequent rows will decrease in the form of a pyramid. The upper edges of the fooling turn out to be wavy, and tie the lower edge next to the st s/n.
The semicircular motif looks especially impressive if knitted with yarn of different colors. The motif begins to be knitted from the center. To do this, make a sliding loop or initial ring with yellow thread.
1st row (yellow): 3 chain lifting loops, 6 double crochets;
Row 2 (yellow): 3 chain stitches, * 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet into the double crochet stitch of the previous row * - repeat 6 times;
3rd row (yellow): 1 chain lifting loop, 1 single crochet in the loop of the front stitch of the previous row, * 3 single crochets in the arch of the chain stitch * - repeat 6 times, 1 single crochet in the extreme lifting loop of the previous row;
4 row (burgundy) : 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in the loop of the outer single crochet of the previous row, * 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet in the loop of the single crochet of the 2nd row* - repeat 6 times;
Row 5 (burgundy): 1 chain lifting loop, 1 single crochet in the loop of the outermost single crochet of the previous row, * 4 single crochets in the arch of 3 chain stitches of the previous row* - 6 times, 1 single crochet in the outermost single crochet of the previous row;
Row 6 (yellow) : 1 chain lifting loop, 1 single crochet in the loop of the outer single crochet of the previous row, * 4 chain stitches, 1 single crochet in the single crochet loop of the 4th row * - repeat 6 times;
Row 7 (yellow) : 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in the loop of the last single crochet of the previous row, * 5 single crochets in the arch of 4 chain stitches of the previous row * - 6 times, 1 single crochet in the loop of the last single crochet of the previous row row;
Row 8 (blue): 1 chain lifting loop, 1 single crochet in the loop of the outer single crochet of the previous row, * 5 chain loops, 1 single crochet in the single crochet loop of the 4th row * - repeat 6 times;
Row 9 (blue) : 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in the loop of the last single crochet of the previous row, * 6 single crochets in the arch of 5 chain stitches of the previous row * - 6 times, 1 single crochet in the loop of the last single crochet of the previous row row.
This motif can be knitted in any size if you adhere to the principle: in each even row, add 1 chain stitch in each arch, and in each odd row, add 1 single crochet in each arch.

A hook is a universal and extremely convenient tool for creating unique handmade items. It is with the help of a hook that you can easily knit not only even rectangular fabrics, but also details of oval, round and any fancy shape. By the way, doing this with knitting needles will be much more difficult. The hook allows you to bring to life the wildest ideas of the master! And in this article we will tell you how to learn how to crochet an oval.
Basic rules for performing a motif
To knit a test sample, prepare any yarn, leftovers, as well as a hook of a suitable size. Any oval is crocheted, creating a chain of air loops. Its length can vary greatly depending on the tasks that the master sets for himself.
After completing the required number of air loops, they are tied in a circular manner. To do this, different elements are used - a half-column, a single crochet, a column with one or more crochets. To create an openwork oval - the basis of a decorative napkin or tablecloth - arches made of air loops, lush and tall columns are perfect.
In general, it does not matter which element is used. There is only one knitting rule - when creating an oval, increments must be made at the ends of the original chain. And the next rows are knitted by analogy with the first, closing them with connecting posts. At the same time, constant increases are made until the product reaches the desired size.
Crochet pattern: oval
Let's look at how to make an even and dense oval. It can easily serve as the basis for cute baby booties, boots or:
- To work, take thick yarn (250 m per 100 g) and hook No. 4.
- Let's perform the initial loop, and then 12 chain stitches.
- The last three will be lifting ones. We skip them and knit the first double crochet (C1H) into the fourth stitch of the base.
- Next, we perform 8 more stitches - one in each air loop of the chain.
- Now we make an increase: we knit another 6 C1H in the last loop. In total there will be 7 columns.
- Turn the sample and continue knitting in the opposite direction.
- We make 8 stitches - one in each loop. We knit 4 C1H for an increase. We complete the first row with a connecting loop.
This is the oval we crocheted with double crochets.
By analogy with the first, we knit the next four rows, performing lifting loops at the beginning, and increasing in the right places, and ending with a connecting loop.
Another simple pattern: oval crochet with single crochets
Often, to make amigurumi toys and dolls, parts of various shapes are required, including ovals. They are knitted using single crochets, due to which the greatest density, strength and beauty of the fabric is achieved. Such an oval, crocheted, will keep its shape perfectly.
Let's try to knit a sample. To work, you will need a thin cotton thread and a No. 2.5 hook. We will work according to the scheme shown in the photo:
- Let's perform six air loops.
- We'll leave one for the climb. Starting from the second loop of the chain, we knit six single crochets (SC).
- Next, we will perform an increase - two sc in the last loop of the base.
- Let's turn the knitting. Let's make four more single crochets, each in its own air loop.
- We will knit the fifth sc into the second working loop, forming a rounded oval.
- Let's complete the row with a connecting loop.
- We will complete the second and third rows, guided by the diagram.
Spiral knitting oval
Let's consider another simple way to make an oval - the so-called continuous spiral knitting. With this method of work, lifting loops are not made at first, and the columns of the previous ones act as the basis for subsequent rows.
Knitting goes from right to left - in one direction (for left-handers - vice versa). The canvas turns out smooth, without a visible transition between the rows. Bright multi-colored rugs are most often made in this way:
- To crochet an oval using single crochets in a spiral, prepare the yarn and hook.
- First, make a chain of air loops of the required length, and then tie it with single crochets or single crochets.
- Do not forget to make the right amount of increments to form a beautiful shape of the product.
- Knit in one "endless" row until you reach the required size of the fabric.
The spiral knitting method is simple and allows even beginner knitters to create original decorative items.
