Janmashtami Special Crochet Decoration Part 1

 

Hello friends,

In 10-15 days Shri Krishn Janmashtami is coming and I know that you are thinking that, which new handmade decoration you can make for that. Here are variety of ideas you can follow and make various decorative pieces for the event.

As we know Shri Krishna's favourite item in eating is Butter. We heard the stories of how he used to eat butterwith his friends and then to be punished by Yashoda mai. We also know that how expert he is in playing Flute that all villagers of Gokul were his fan. Also we know that he use to wear Peacock feather on his head means it is also his favourite. Moreover we have video of that garland to Krishna. Peacock feather video we had published long back as a Book mark.

Then we had so many videos of Doilies in which we used this type of design. Not only this we made Peacock Feather Train also specially for Janmasgtami. Also we made Peacock Show piece.

Links for these,

Third Peacock Show Piece:  https://youtu.be/j0DDjXcveFA

Peacock Feather Big Doily: https://youtu.be/4z8dTiCzXBM

Other than these items we made so many decorative items like Small flower curtain behind, Small Toran, Lotus Flower, Pujathali etc.

You can find videos of all these items on my Youtube channel KALOPASAK.

   

You can use these handmade items to decorate. In my next post I will give the pattern for the Makhan Mataki and Basuri.

Beautiful Crochet Doily or Tablemat as the Ganapati Bappa's Aaasan

                                        

Hello friends,

How are you all, hope doing good. This beautiful Doily, Tablemat I made specially for Festival Season as Ganeshotsav, Diwali. So that you can use it as Aasan for Ganesh ji or Laxmi ji idols. It is made in Red Heart and Bernet yarns. Though recommended hook on Red Heart is 5 mm, still I use 3.5 mm so that it will nearly give same measurements as made by my subscribers in India with Vardhaman Millenium or same type of yarn. Ganga Desire yarn from India gives very much same result as those of Red Heart.

I hope that you will enjoy to make it. Some suggestions are instead of Brown you can use Dark Pink (Rani color) or you can also use dark purple shade from R2 of second layer petals.

PATTERN: 

With Biscuit color make R1: dc 12 in magic loop, cl (12). Note that our first dc will be always ch3.

R2: (dc2) in each st, cl (24)

Second Layer of Petals: Join purple color at the stitch below current level exactle at the joint of two petals of first layer petals. So that new petal should come out in between two petals of layer one.
