Valentine Day Special: Heart Shaped Doily:

Fig 1

Hello friends,
This is the special shape which we call "Heart Shape" and it's a symbol for heart (love). The history of using this shape for heart goes long back and reaches in India. In Indus Vally Civilization (3300 BC to 1300 BC), "peepal leaves" Ficus religiosa (which are heat shaped) were used to depict heart artistically. The heart shaped pendent of that age was exhibited in Delhi National Musium, India. Till today we are in love of this shape and consider this as a symbol of heart. Hence on Valentine Day many many special things / items are made of this shape every year. This is one of my contribution to that, Heart Shaped Doily. Fig 1.

It is crochet doily pattern simple to make, I made it for my Youtube channel, Kalopasak and many of my subscribers made it with different colors which also looks very beautiful. See fig 2, same doily made by Bhakti.

Crochet Ladies Jacket Part 2

Fig 1

Hello friends,
This post is only for giving the second part of this jacket.

Front Part: For front part we work till the 4 dcs and don’t work 10 sts which are under arm. See fig 2.

In front part there are 2 patterns of design. Work one pattern as it is and in another pattern decrease sts on neck side. For that make 3 puffs instead of 4 then 2 then 1, so that the sts are decreased. Fig 3. One of the front I have already made in order to get an idea of how the neck line sts are decreased. 

R1: (WS) ch 3, dc 1 in 3 sts, first pattern as it is means ch 2, sc 1 in first gap, (ch 1, dc 1) 3 times in next gap, ch 1, sc 1 in next gap, ch 2, dc 4, ch 2, sc 1 in next gap, (ch1, dc 1) 2 times in next gap, ch 1, sc 1 in next gap, ch 2, dc 4.

See fig 4.

 R2: (RS) ch 3, dc 3, ch 1, puff in next 3 gaps separated by ch 3, then ch 1, dc 4, ch 1, puff in next 4 gaps separated by ch 3, ch 1, dc 4. Fig 5.

R3: ch 3, dc 3, (ch 3, sc1 in the gap between 2 puffs) 3 times, ch 3, dc 4, (ch 3, sc 1 in the gap between 2 puffs) 2 times, ch 3, dc 4. Fig 6

 R4: ch 3, dc 3, ch 4, sc1 on previous row sc, ch 3, sc 1 on previous row sc, ch 4, dc 4, ch4, skip one gap, sc 1 in next gap, (ch 3, sc 1 in next gap) 2 times, ch 4, dc 4. Fig 7.

Fig 14

R8: ch3, dc 3, ch 2, sc 1 in a gap, ch 2, sc 1 in a gap, ch
2, dc 4, ch4, skip first gap, sc 1 in next gap, (ch 3, sc 1 in next gap) 2 times, ch 4, dc 4. Fig 10.

R9: ch3, dc 3, ch 2, sc 1 in next gap, (ch1, dc1) 3 times in the next gap, ch 1, sc 1 in next gap, ch2, dc4, ch2, sc 1 on previous sc, ch 1, sc 1 on previous sc, ch 2, dc 4. Fig 11.

R10:  ch 3, dc 3, ch 1, puff1 in next ch1- gap then ch 1, dc 4, ch 1, puff in next 4 gaps separated by 2 chs, ch 1, dc 4. Fig 12.

In this row we make 2 chs in between 2 puffs because in our next row we have to make all dcs, no further puffs.

R11:ch 3, dc 1 in each st, so that in all there should be 23 sts.

R12, R13 and R14 same as R11. Fig 13.

Similarly make other front with proper decrease of sts on neck side. Fig 1

Back: Work same as the pattern (See part 1).

Last 4 rows of all dcs.

Sew both shoulders properly.

Cord: Make chains with double thread as much as you want.

Tassels: Instead of tassels we make Puff flowers which will match the design of the jacket.

Thread the cord through the 4dcs button band and buttonhole band. Sew puff flowers to both ends. I have also sewed two beads at the centre of the puff flowers. Fig 14.

Look, how beautiful the jacket is!!!! Fig 1.

Crochet Ladies Jacket

Fig 1

Hi friends,
This is my new creation for me😀. The design on this jacket is little changed version of the design given by,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XOst4WmVpU&t=971s
When I saw this pattern I loved it and I thought of using it somewhere and here I changed it little bit and used it. I have also made matching booties with this which I will post lateron.
For this jacket I used Baby Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby. I love to make any thing with this yarn, it is such a wonderful yarn thin and smooth. Also I use 3.5 mm crochet hook.

Measurements: Height 23”, Width 17”

Pattern:

Fig 2

Fig 3

Fig 4

Border: Ch 12

R1: sc 1 in each st from second st till last st (11 sts), ch 1 turn, fig 2

R2: sc 1 in back loop of each of the 10 st, sc 1 normally (not in back loop) in last st. (11 sts). After row 3 as in fig 3.

Repeat row 2 till the length becomes 34”. Fig 4. Then bind off.

Fig 5

Ch 3, and make double crochet in each st, one in gap, one on vertical line. Fig 5Total we have 154 sts. We want multiple of 15 plus 4 sts, so adjust sts if necessary.

Sample of the Pattern: For sample we start with 34 + 3 chs.

R1: (RS)dc 1 in each ch starting from 4^th ch. Fig 6.

Fig 6

Fig 7

R2: (WS) (Foundation row) ch 3, dc 1 in next 3 sts, [ch 2, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next st, ch 1, skip 2 sts, (dc1, ch1) 3 times in next st, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next, ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc 1 in next 4 sts] repeat till end, fig 7.

Fig 8

Fig 9

R3: ch 3, dc 1 in 3 sts, [ch 1, (puff 1 in next gap, ch 3) 4 times, ch 1, dc 1 in 4 dcs of previous row] repeat till end.

Puff: (YO insert hook in st, YO get 2 long sts) 4 times, there are 9 sts on hook, YO and pass through 8 sts, YO pass through remaining 2 sts, 

Fig 10

Fig 11

 ch 1 fix it, fig 8
R4:ch 3, dc 1 in 3 sts, (ch 3, sc 1 in next gap) 3 times, ch 3, dc 1 in each of the 4 dcs of previous row, fig 9.

R5:ch 3, dc 1 in 3 sts, [ch 4, skip first gap, sc 1 in next gap, ch 3, sc 1 in next gap, ch 4, dc 4] repeat. Fig 10

R6: ch 3, dc 1 in 3 sts, [ ch 2, sc 1 in ch 4-gap, ch 1, (dc1, ch1) 3 times in ch3-gap, sc 1 in ch4-gap, ch 2, dc 4] repeat …This is just like our Foundation row above. Fig 11.

Now repeat rows 3 to 6 as much as the length required. Here we make 16”.

Then work till marker for arm hole and then work all dcs on the puffs at under arm place (there will be 11 dcs as under arm, 2 dcs in each gap and 1 dc on each puff edge). The next part again as per pattern till the second under arm position, here also we work 11 dcs then remaining part again as it is.

Next row as per pattern only at both underarms position (instead of 11 dcs) work 5dcs, 2 dctog, 4 dcs, remaining again as it is.

In further work we shall not work these 10 sts under arm.
