Crochet Showpiece: Holi Special Decorated Color Boxes, Kumkum Karande, Home Decor,

 

Hello friends,

Today is "Dhulivandan" or "Rangpanchami" in India, a big festival of COLORS. For details please read,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranga_Panchami

So here I made these colorful Decorative Showpiece. It is a box type in which one can keep different colors. If you are not interested in making so many then just make two, one for Haldi and other for Kumkum. It will be just like Karanda (a special box for Haldi Kumkum).

I use 6 ply yarn, thick yarn like Red Heart in USA, so that the green petals can remain stiff. Hook 3.5 mm. Also I need 22 small beads and 2 big beads. Little bit metal wire is also needed.

PATTERN: R1: In magic loop make dc 15, cl (15) (First dc is always ch3).

R2: (dc2) in each st, cl (30).

R3: Back post dc in each dc, cl (30) (First bodc means bpsc, ch2).

R4: dc1 in each st, cl (30)

R5: [ch11, from second ch make sc1, hdc1, dc2, tr2, ....

dc2, hdc1, sc1, ch1 turn little bit, from first st on other sode make sc1, hdc1, dc2, tr2, .....

dc2, hdc1, sc1. Sl st on first st of opposite side. Ch1, sl st in each st along middle line,...

 sl st 1 in next 3 sts] rep 10 times, cl. (10 leaves made) BO.

FLOWER-LID: With yellow make chs 70

R1: from third ch make hdc 1 in each st (68).

R2: ch3 (first dc), [extended dc in next, .....[Ext dc: YO insert in st, YO get 1 st, there are 3 sts as usual, YO pass through 1 st, (YO pass through 2 sts) 2 times]...

ch3, sc in between two dcs] rep till end.

Now wrap it round properly as shown in video and fix it by sewing at bottom. Left side photo at last shows back side and right side photo shows front side of the flower lid.

Then in a thin metal wire piece thread 10 small beads, 1 big bead then again 1 small bead. Reversely thread the same wire end starting from big bead. Cut the wire and insert at centre. Lastly fix it's end.

Keep this lid on the box we made, it will look beautiful.

Similarly made as many as you want in different colors for Holi, Rangpanchami.

Crochet Bag with Wooden Beads, Drawstring Type Bag, Oti Bag 6, Rukhawat Item

 

Hi,

I made this Big Bag with wooden beads and just loved it. In my city Amravati generally I don't get many craft material. But this time I went one shop, I saw these wooden beads and I bought them. Then I made this bag which can be fixed in two different ways as shown in above photo. This is big drawstring bag so can be used as Oti Bag in marriage or Engagment.

PATTERN: Height of the bag 11", breadth 15" and width of bottom 4.5". Weight 280 gm. red yarn 192 gm and 8 gm cream color yarn other is weight of 168 wooden beads. Yarn: Vardhaman Magnus

Make chs 27

R1: from second chain make sc 1 in each ch (25) till last ch. In last chain make (sc3) in that. sc1 in each of the 24 sts from other side, sc2 in first stitch, cl Thus total stitches (24+3+24+3=54)

R2: [(sc2) in 3 corner's stitches, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+6+24+6=60)

R3:[at corner (sc1 in 1 st, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+9+24+9= 66)

R4:[at corner (sc1 in 2 sts, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+12+24+12= 72)

R5:[at corner (sc1 in 3 sts, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+15+24+15= 78)

R6:[at corner (sc1 in 4 sts, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+18+24+18= 84)

R7:[at corner (sc1 in 5 sts, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+21+24+21= 90)

R8:[at corner (sc1 in 6 sts, sc2 in next) 3 times, sc1 in 24 sts] 2 times, cl (24+24+24+24= 96)

Next round: ch3, back post dc on each dc, cl (96)

R2: [dc1 in 3 sts, thread a bead] 24 times, cl. First dc is always ch3. Threading bead: YO, pass a bead

insert hook in next st, YO get 1 st. There are 3sts and  1 bead on the hook,

 YO pass through 1 st and 1 bead, now we have only 3 sts on the hook, YO pass through all the remaining 3 sts.

R3: dc1 in each st, cl (96).

R4: in this round you can hace beads in the same place as in R2 or you can thread bead at the place of middle dc (out of 3dcs). I am goin to thread bead in the same row (one over other).

Repeat R2 and R3 till there are 7 rows of beads. Here it's height is 8.5". 

Next 6 rounds are worked without beads as , dc1 in each st, cl (96).

Now fold it and place markers making 2 parts each of 48 sts.

               

BELT or Cord: Ch 3, inset ch in second ch, YO get 1 st, insert hook in   first ch, YO get 1 st. Thus there are 3 sts on hook. Keep only 1 st and get 2 sts out of hook but hold them by finger tightly, insert hook in second st, YO get one st, insert hook in third st (which is out of hook) YO get 1 st. Thus again there are 3 sts on hook.Repeat this till the required length of belt. I made 40" belt.

Now in third round from top and from left edge skip 18 sts and insert belt from inside to outside with small end. Then skip 6 dcs on left and get other end of belt from inside to outside, this is bigger part of belt. Here after we move this end only. Skip 8 dcs insert belt from outside to inside, Skip 6 dcs insert belt end from inside to outside, Skip 8 dcs insert belt from outside to inside, Skip 6 dcs insert from inside to outside. Then skip 14 sts, insert belt from outside to inside, skip 6 get belt from inside to outside. Skip 8 dcs get belt from outside to inside. Again skip 6 dcs get belt from insode to outside. Skip 8 dcs get belt from outside to inside. Skip 6 dcs get belt from inside to outside. Count that dcs in between 2 ends must be here 14 as in back side.

The beautiful Drawstring type bag is ready
