Beautiful Crochet Socks with Two Granny Squares

 

Hi every one,

How are you all?  In USA every where temperature goes down so if you want to make another simple socks to wear at home too. You can make these. I made it with two granny squaress, one big and other small granny. As usual first take measurement, length of foot. Here it is 9". Weight 52 gm. Yarn used Ganga Olivia and hook 3.5 mm.

For little smaller size make the same with 3 mm hook, for little bigger just use 4 mm hook.

PATTERN: R1: In a magic loop make (dc3, ch1) 4 times, cl.

R2: [(dc3, ch2, dc3) in ch1-sp, ch1] 4 times, cl. 

Here after we shall not work in stitches but we work in the space between 2 dcs.

R3: dc1 in between each space between two dcs of R2, (dc2, ch1, dc2) in ch1-sp of R2] rep till end, cl.

Note that in between two shells at two corners there are 5 dcs.

R4: same as R3.

Note that here there are 8 dcs in between two shells at two corners. (as 4 dcs increased in previous round so 3 more gaps between dcs are created, hence middle dcs increased by 3).

R5: same as R3.

Note that here there are 11 dcs in between two shells at two corners. 

All rounds after this are same as R3 and each time 3 dcs increases in between 2 shells at two corners.

After R6, we have 14 dcs in between 2 shells.

After R7, we have 17 dcs in between 2 shells.

After R8, we have 20 dcs in between 2 shells.

Continue in this way till the length of the diagonal is nearly 9" (length of the foot) In my case after R8, the length of diagonal is nearly 9".

Make one more granny square with the same pattern but only 4 rounds. 

Then join this small granny with big granny as shown in video. Place two grannies coinciding corner to corner. Then sew one side of small granny with half side of big granny and so on....

Join dark blue yarn at corner,

R1: ch1, [sc1 in corner, sc1 in each st of one side], skip corner st (don't make sc in ch1-sp here, so as to get curved shape),[sc1 in corner, sc1 in each st of one side]2 times, cl

Toe side part is made, now we will have to increase back side of foot or hill side part.

Now there are 24 sts in between two ch1-spaces, so skip 10 sts and join new yarn at next st.

R1: Sl st in same st, sc1 next, dc1 in each of the next 12 sts, dc1 in ch1-sp, again dc1 in next 12 sts, dc1 in ch1-sp, lastly sc1 in next st, sl st in last st. Here we work in stitches and not in gaps.

R2: sl st in sc-st, dc1 in each of the 25 sts, lastly sl st on sc-st

R3: ch1 turn, dc1 in each of the 25 sts, sc1 in each st on toe side 10-11 sts on both sides, cl.

R4: ch4, (skip 1 st, dc1 in next, ch1) rep till hill side's 25 sts, then with dark blue yarn make sc1 in each of the 22 sts on toe side, cl.

Border: with dark blue yarn make sc 1 in each st, sc1 in each ch1-sp, cl.

Lastly make a cord nearly 20-21 inches with double thread and pass it through the windows formed in R4. You can tie this cord for better fitting.

The best socks are ready.

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.

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.

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.
