Crochet Design to Decorate Candle Stand, Candle Decorator, Samai Rangoli

 

Hello friends,

How are you all? Busy in the preparation for Christmas and New Year, Right? Here is one beautiful crochet design which will help you to decorate for the festival in a unique way. 

You can also use it as Samai rangoli or Meherap (plate decor) of just to decorate your hall in a special way. The amazing part of this is, I made it in pieces and you can join them or customize them as you wish, may be with 2 or 3 flowers, may be in a straight line or circular or oval shape or what ever shape and size you want. I made this with 3.5 mm hook so width of the flower is 8" and each leaf is 4" but you can use smaller one by using 1.75mm or 1mm hook. I made one with 1.5 mm hook and it comes to be 5" and leaves I made with 13 chs only so they are 2". 

I am giving pattern of first one in orange color. The yarn is of Oswal Micro shine and hook 3.5 mm.

PATTERN: Make chs 12.

R1: sc1 in each ch starting from second (11), ch2, then on other side make sc1 in 9 sts, ch1 TURN.

R2: sc1 in back loop of 9 sts, sc 1 in back loop of one ch (out of 2 chs made at corner), (thus 10 scs) ch2, sc1 in back loop of other chain, sc1 in back loop of 9 sts, (total 10 scs after new ch2 made) ch1, TURN

(One corner made on both sides, top edge is already there)

R3: sc1 in back loop of 10 sc sts, sc1 in first ch, (total 11scs before ch2), ch2, sc1 in second ch, sc1 in BL of 8 sc-sts, skip last 2 sts (total 9 scs after ch2), ch1 TURN

R4: sc1 in back loop of 9 sc sts, sc1 in first ch, (total 10scs before ch2), ch2, sc1 in second ch, sc1 in BL of 9 sc-sts, skip last 2 sts (total 10 scs after ch2), ch1 TURN (2 corners made on both sides)

Repeat similarly to get 4 corners. Each time skip 2 sts before ch1 and turn to get new corner,

One petal made, then for second petal join 4th corner with the first petal made then complete it and BO.

Thus join 6 petals together. Note that while joining last one we have to join with fifth and first petals.

Then add one bead to each petal at third st of the side (refer video for this) and pull the yarn so that petals

For this, from back side get yarn on front at third st, (thread a bid and get the yarn again back from third st of other side of same petal then get the yarn on front from third st of next petal) rep till end. Stretch the yarn from back side to tighten it and make a knot and fix it.

LEAF: Chs 15.

R1: from second ch make sc1, hdc1, dc3, (dc2) in each of the next 2 sts, dc3, hdc2, sc2, ch1, then from other side make sc2, hdc2, dc3, (dc2) in 2 sts, dc3, hdc1, sc1, sl st in first st on opposite side.

R2: (ch1, sl st 1) rep till corner, at corner ch1-picot, (ch1, sl st 1) rep till end, sl st in first st on opposite side, BO.

Make such 6 leaves.

STEM: chs 20, sl st in each st, BO.

Make such 8 stems. Two of chs 20, two of chs 30, two of chs 40 and two of chs 50.

BUD: Make stem of chs 30 with orange yarn, wrap it to get drop shape which will be our bud.

Fix it's shape by sewing at 2-3 points. Then make the design as per your choice or as I have shown.

Using all these stems, leaves and flower make your own design as you like.

I made as in the first photo.

Crochet Sweater for 2.5 to 3 Years Kid, Crochet Cardigan (Eng Sub), Full Sleeves Jacket

 

Hello friends,

Winter is in it's full swing in India and hence I made one more simple sweater for 2.5 to 3 years kid. Because the temperature is constantly decreasing we don't have much time, every body wants a sweater for his / her kid quickly. So here is the pretty and simple design for kid's sweater.

It is top down type with width 12.5" height 14" and it's weight is 192 gm (170 gm Blue and 22 gm White).Yarn used is Vardhaman Millenium and hook 3.5 mm.

PATTERN: Make chs of length 16", I have to make 72 chs. Make a ring of that without twisting the stitches.

R1: dc1 in each st, cl (72) [First dc means ch3]

R2: ch3, (fpdc1, bpdc1) rep till end, cl.

R3: ch3, (fpdc on fpdc, bpdc on bpdc) rep till end, cl

R4: same as R3

Join Blue yarn at any st on first round and not in last round of meck border.

YOKE: R1: ch3, (dc3) in one st, ch1, [skip 2 sts, (dc3) in next, ch1] rep till end, cl. (24 groups of (dc3)).

Sl st till the middle dc-st (out of 3 dcs), 

[Place marker at the middle dc-st out of 3 dcs in 6th group] 4 times.

R2: [V (dc1, ch2, dc1) at middle st, ch1, {(dc3) in next gap between two (dc3) groups} rep 6 times, ch1] 4 times,  cl.

(Note that we make ch1 before making V and after making V)

R3: [V on V, ch1, {(dc3) in ch1-sp of previous round, (dc3) in each gap between two (dc3) groups, (dc3) in ch1-sp before V}, ch1] 4 times, cl. (6 groups of (dc3))

R4:  [V on V, ch1, {(dc3) in ch1-sp of previous round, (dc3) in each gap between two (dc3) groups, (dc3) in ch1-sp before V}, ch1] 4 times, cl. (7 groups of (dc3))

In R5 there will be 8 groups of (dc3)

In R6 there will be 9 groups of (dc3) and so on.

Repeat rounds like this till the armhole is 4.5"-5".

I have to work 13 rounds for that.

R1:  Skipping sleeves sts join first and forth corners, dc1 in the joint, 

then dc1 in next V of one part only [lastly we made one dc in last V, thus we get 3 separate dcs which will be considered as one group of (dc3)] ch1, 

then continue with (dc3) in each ch1-sp till 2nd and third corners. Make dc 1 in last V, dc1 after joining 2nd and 3rd corners, 

dc1 in next V, then continue with (dc3) in each ch1-sp, ch1 till end, cl.

R2: (dc3) in each ch1-sp between two groups of (dc3), considering 3 separete dcs at underarm as one group of (dc3) cl.

[We have 30 groups of (dc3) 14 on front, 14 on back and 2 newly formed at under arm]

R3: (dc3) in each gap between two groups of (dc3). In above picture it is seen that how 3dcs made at 3  different sts are considered as one group of (dc3) made in one gap.

In one round we can make dc3 in one group directly where as in next round we have to make dc1 only at starting and remaining 2dcs at the end of the round.

Repeat R3 till the height is 12.5" from top.

                                                          

SLEEVES: Join yarn at underarm stitch.

R1: dc1 at joint, dc1 in V next to it, {(dc3) in ch1-sp} rep till end, dc 1 in V before joint. Thus again we get 3 dcs at underarm which we shall consider as one group of (dc3) for next round.

R2: (dc3) in each gap between two (dc3) groups, cl. (We have 15 groups of (dc3))

R3 and R4: same as R2.

For better shape we decrease one group of (dc3).

R5: at joint dc1, dc 1 in the middle dc-st of next group, (dc3) in each gap between two groups of (dc3) till end, lastly dc 1 in the middle dc-st of last group of (dc3).

These 3 dcs made separately will be considered as one group of (dc3)

So after R5 we have 14 groups of (dc3).

R6, R7 and R8: (dc3) in each gap between two (dc3) groups

R9: Again reduce one group of (dc3). (Total 13 groups).

Work 25 rounds from the neckline.

Border for Sleeve: Join white yarn at any stitch.

R1: dc1 in each st, cl (39 sts since we have 13 groups of dc3)

R2: ch3, (fpdc1, bpdc1) rep till end, cl.

R3: ch3, (fpdc on fpdc, bpdc on bpdc) rep till end, cl

R4 and R5: same as R3.

Similarly complete another sleeve.

Also make similar border for bottom. There will be 90 sts for bottom.
