Rakshabandhan and Friendship Day Special
Hello friends
Wish you Happy Friendship Day. This is the friendship band or Rakhi I made on this occasion. We celebrate first Sunday of August as Friendship Day and here is the Bond of Love Friendship Band from me to all of you.
As we agree that our brothers are our best friends since our birth so friendship with him is of the first prime important.
Generally in the same month, in India we celebrate Rakshabandhan, a festival celebrated on full moon day of the month Shravan (One Marathi month out of 12 months). There are so many ritual and historical references to this day.
Mainly all sisters tie a silk thread(some what decorative) to the wrist of their brothers and expect that brother protects them in any situation and thus sisters put their responsibility on their brothers. (In old days, now a days girls/ women are also educated and can bear their own responsibility of course still the support from brother is very important.)
In market Rakhis are available in many beautiful designs (see fig 2).
But tying hand made Rakhi to our brother give immense satisfaction to a creative persons. So this year I made some Rakhis (Fig 1).
For this Rakhi I used crochet thread, 1.5 mm crochet hook and some beads or purls.
Thread 2 beads / purls in the yarn.
Start with slip knot and move one bead and make single crochet 1 to fix the bead. Then make 4.5" chains.
Three more chs and 1 tr in 4th ch. A loop is formed. Again ch 3 and tr 1 in first ch, second loop formed. Make such 5 loops.
See fig 3.
R1: Ch 3, double crochet (dc) 8 on one side of the loop, (join by sc in the next loop, dc 9 in the next loop) repeat one more time.
Other side: Same as first side.
At last join by sl st.
Then make similar 4.5" chains on other side also attach one bead at last and fix it.
Finally sew one bead on each centre of the ring of dcs formed (Fig 4). The beautiful friendship band / Rakhi is ready here.
