Crochet Socks with One Granny Square

 

Hello everyone,

Look at the beautiful and very very easy Socks made by just one granny.

It  is made for the length of the foot 9". Weight 57 gm (32 gm Orange and 25 gm Green) Yarn: Ganga Olivia, Hook 3.5 mm. You can make these shoes for any size, just measure the length of the foot and make granny with size of the side less than 0.5" or 0.7" less than the measure of the foot measured. If you want you can pass cord or ribben for fitting well (as shown).

PATTERN: Start with Orange yarn and for alternate round change the color.

R1: In magic ring make (dc3, ch3) 4 times, cl. Instead of sl st in first st make ch1, hdc in first st, so that the working loop is now at the mid of the corner. But don't cut the yarn. Join green yarn at the same st.

R2: (dc3) in this corner, (dc3, ch3, dc3) in 3 corners, dc3 again in first corner ch1, hdc1.

R3: Pick up orange yarn, (dc3) in same gap, [(dc3) in next gap, (dc3, ch3, dc3) in next gap] 3 times, (dc3) in next, (dc3) at first corner, ch1, hdc1.

R4: Pick up orange. (dc3) in same gap, [{(dc3) in next gap}2 times, (dc3, ch3, dc3) in next gap] 3 times, {(dc3) in next}2 times, (dc3) at first corner, ch1, hdc1.

Repeat in this way till the length of granny square is 9".

Then contract one side and sew it by tapesty needle. It will look like flower as in first photo below.

From back side it will look like first photo below. This is toe side. Then sew ahead till four (dc3) groups are together as in second photo.

Then fold the side below (in first photo above) and sew back side

Crochet Old Kitchen Equipments Part 4, Chul (Chula) Earthen Stove, Toy for Baby's Kitchen

 

Hello friends,

This is the forth item in this series of Old Kitchen Equipments. Chulaah is a U-shaped clay based stove used for cooking. Wood pieces, crop waste or cow dung cakes are used as a fuel and fire is created.

Yarn: Vardhman Millenium, hook 1.75mm. Width 2", base 2" and weight 7 gm, 

PATTERN: Make chs 25

R1: ch1, sc1 in each ch starting from second ch. (24)

R2: ch1, sc1 in each st (24)

Repeat row 2 till R16.

Then fold it and try to keep it in this shape.

For that first we sew sides from wrong side so that there should not be edge on front side of chula. Then flip to right side.

Lastly we have to make Khur (चुलीचे खूर ) stand to place pot properly and to get air to the fire.

For that make R1:  ch1, sc 6 in magic loop, cl. R2: ch1, sc1 in each st, cl (6)

Make 3 pieces and sew by tapestry needle at proper place.

 Then sew bottom side also.

Then I tried to glue it in the shape of Chula as we thought but it didn't remain so I have to sew it on some card board.

The beautiful Chula is ready. You may put some sticks to show wooden pieces for fire.
