Crochet Doily 4

Doily with 3D Border

Fig 1

Hello friends,
Here is one more doily I made with 3D border.
I used Vardhamaan Prime yarn which 4 ply but more thin than usual 4 ply yarn, but due to Lock down, no new puchase, so I used this. Border is made by 4 ply brown colour yarn which is Ok. Crochet hook used is 3.5 mm.
This 3D border idea I got from,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhRahGyv6ng
But here the border is in a straight line where as we have to make border of a doily that means in a circular shape, hence I increase the number of dcs in ch 4 loop. Instead of 7 dcs, I made 9 dcs.
Pattern: 
R1: In a magic loop, ch3, dc 15, cl by sl st in third ch, (16 sts)
R2: ch 3+1, (dc 1 in next st, ch 1) rep, cl, (16 ch1-gaps and 16 dcs). Fig 2.

Crochet Swastik Toran 1, Door Hanging, Door Decor, Bandhanwaar, Gate Decor

Door Decor, Door Hanging, Toran with Swastik and Kalash

Fig 1

Hello friends,
In India, ladies always like to make door decor or door decoration (Toran). I have also told you, what's the importance of Kalash in my post
https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=mangal+kalash
About Swastik in,
https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=Mangal+Kalash+part+2
But many times this symbol is confused with Nazi symbol, but it is exactly opposite. Last time when I posted my crochet Kalash picture on "Free Crochet" facebook group people like it but many comments were about that Swastik symbol. Still being very pius symbol, I take it on this toran.

Fig 2

Fig 3

Fig 4

For this I use yellow, red, green and wooden colour yarns and 3.5 mm crochet hook.The door hanging is madein five pieces and then joint.
Pattern: Pattern is fully in

 double crochet except R14.So
 I have written pattern only showing colours, how much dcs should be made in which colour.

Kalash For Toran

Y = Yellow, R= Red, G= Green, B= Brown (light). All rows consist of dcs only.

All rows has 28 sts except R14.

Ch 27+3=30

R1: dc1 on each st starting from 4^th ch, (28 sts)

Fig 5

R2: 12Y, 4R, 12Y.

R3: 10Y, 8R, 10 Y

R4: 8Y, 12R, 8Y

R5: 7Y, 14R, 7Y

R6: 8Y, 12R, 8Y

R7: 5Y, 2G, 3Y, 8R, 3Y, 2G, 5Y

R8: 6Y, 3G, 3Y, 4R, 3Y, 3G, 6Y

R9: 6Y, 4G, 2R, 4B, 2R, 4G, 6Y

R10: 8Y, 1G, 10B, 1G, 8Y

Fig 6

R11: 6Y, 4G, 8B, 4G, 6Y

R12: 5Y, 4G, 2Y, 6B, 2Y, 4G, 5Y

R13: 3Y, 3G, 6Y, 4B, 6Y, 3G, 3Y

R14: 13Y, 2dctog B, 13Y (27 sts)

R15: 13Y, 2dc Y in next st, 13Y.

Finally we get as in fig 2. Make such 3 pieces as in fig 3.

Swastik: 

Ch 21+3=24

R1: dc 1 in each ch starting from forth ch. Ch 3 turn, (22 sts). The whole pattern the sts remain 22.

R2: dc 1 in each st

R3: 6 Y, 2 R, 2Y, 6R, 6Y

R4: 10Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 6Y

R5: 6Y, 10R, 6Y

 

Fig 7

R6: 6Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 10 Y
R7: 6Y, 6R, 2Y, 2R, 6Y
R8: All Y
R9: to R14: same as R3 to R8.
R15: all Y.
We get as in fig 4.
Then I joined them as one kalash, one swastik like this.
For that I made foundation row by dc 1 in each st as border to the sides which we have to join. as in fig 5.

Fig 8

Now for joining them I used left-right slip stitch techniques by Lyza Walter. (as in fig 6)
reference video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3-zQA2qjLs

Finally I sew beads and bells to the toran as in fig 1. Then I found this Ganesh idol attached to the old wedding invitation card. It is small 2.5", metallic, beautiful idol. I take it out and past in the mid of the toran by fabric glue.
