Filet Crochet Door Hanging (Toran), Door Decor

Hi, As I have written in my previous post, I was making this Filet crochet toran (door hanging). It looks beautiful. First I saw the picture which is not in squares so I draw it's diagram as in fig,

For this project I need 160 gm 4 ply yarn, 110 small size beads, crochet hook 3.5 mm and 0.5 mm to thread the beads. Without tessels 100 gm yarn will be sufficient. Then write down the whole pattern. Filet Crochet Toran: We start vertically. There are 11 boxes and we are using 4x4 type [4x4 means in which close box means 4 dcs, 2 close boxes 7 dcs, 3 close boxes 10 dcs and so on. Open box means (dc 1, ch2, dc1)] in Filet crochet which I have already explained in my previous post.. So for 11 boxes we need (11x3)+1=34 chs. Note: C means closed mesh or box and O means open mesh or box. R1: 2C, 7O, 2C, (11 BOXES / MESH) R2: Same as R1. Extend by ch 5+3 (as first dc)

R3: 2C, 2O, 4C, 3O, 2C(13 MESH)

R4: 2C, 2O, 2C, 2O, 2C, 1O, 2C. CH8 R5: 2C, 2O, 2C, 4O, 1C, 2O, 2C. (15 MESH)

R6: 2C, 2O, 1C, 1O, 2C, 2O, 2C, 1O, 2C. CH8

R7; 2C, 2O, 2C, 3O, 1C, 2O, 1C, 2O, 2C (17 MESH) R8; 2C, 3O, 2C, 5O, 2C, 1O, 2C. CH8 R9: 2C, 2O, 2C, 4O, 2C, 5O, 2C (19 MESH) R10: C on C and O on O. Turn Slip St 1 on 6 sts.

R11: 2C, 1O, 2C, 5O, 2C, 3O, 2C. (17 MESH) After sl stitches and 2 close boxes it will look as,

R12: 2C, 2O, 1C, 2O, 1C, 3O, 2C, 2O, 2C. Turn Sl St 1 in 6 sts. R13: 2C, 1O, 2C, 2O, 2C, 1O, 1C, 2O, 2C. (15 MESH) R14: 2C, 2O, 1C, 4O, 2C, 2O, 2C. Turn Sl St 1 in 6 sts R15: 2C, 1O, 2C, 2O, 2C, 2O, 2C. (13 MESH) R16: 2C, 3O, 4C, 2O, 2C. Turn sl st 1 in 6 sts. R17: 2C, 7O, 2C (11 MESH) R18: Same as R17. Ch8. One pattern complete.

Repeat from R3 to R18 for as many patterns you want for the sufficient length of toran.

The main part of filet door hanging is done. Now if you want, you can make tessels along with ch6, one bead, chain 6 bead one.... Then make a tessel by wrapping the yarn 15 times and having a tight knot to fix it. Then wrap the yarn 4-5 times after 1 cm from the top of tessel and fix by knot, keeping then end of the knot till last end of tessel.

We make these tessels of different height, means with 1 bead, 2 beads, 3 beads, 4 beads and 5 beads, in order that the bottom level of all tessels will be same. So it looks beautiful as in fig 1. The following video with English subtitles may help you. ETC: Enjoy the Creativity.
