Mangal Kalash Part 3: Mango Leaves (Puja Item / Rukhawat Item)
Hello friends,
This is the third part of our project, "Mangal Kalasham". As I have said in previous post this mangal kalash consists of matal Kalash (the pot) filled with water, coconut and mango leaves. Importance of coconut I have written in part 2. Mango leaves are placed as a symbol of happiness, or some times it is said to form a seat for deities. If mango leaves are not available then Betel leaves are places.
In this part I am going to tell you, how I made these Mango leaves.
Pattern:
While making this leaf in the starting of every row we make ch 2 and turn but not consider it as any double crochet (dc) because if we consider it as dc then after border there are holes clearly seen there.
R1: Make ch 4 and dc 2 in first ch, ch 2 turn, (3 sts)
R2: dc 1 in each st, ch 2 turn, (3 sts)
R3: dc 2 in first and last st dc 1 in middle st, ch 2 turn, (5 sts), fig 2.
R4: dc 1 on each st, ch 2 turn, (5 sts)
R5: dc 2 in first and last st dc 1 in middle three sts, ch 2 turn, (7 sts), fig 3.
R6: to R11: same as, dc 1 in each st, ch 2 turn, (7sts)
R12: 2dctog in first two and last two sts, dc 1 in all middle sts, ch 2 turn, (5sts), fig 4.
R13: dc 1 in each st, ch 2 turn, (5sts)
R14: same as row 13.
R15: same as row 12, ch 2 turn, (3 sts)
R16: dc 1 in each st, ch 2 turn, (3 sts)
R17: 3dctog, bind off. Fig 5.
Border: Make sc 1 in each st of the border by inserting the thin wire inside every stitch, as shown in fig 6, at corner st make ch 2 extra to get pointed shape.
On completing all scs, bind off keeping 9" to 12" yarn behind for making stem.
Stem: ch 5, sl st in 4 sts starting from second then bind off. Fig 9.
Then make central line by light green colour with embroidey. Fig 8.
Here is the beautiful mango leaf ready.
I made such five leaves. Then place them in our Kalash along with the coconut already made. The "Mangal Kalash" is here.
The following video may help you.
ETC: Enjoy the creativity.
