Hello friends, How are you all, hope good. Now a days Health good means every thing good. On the background of Corona virus we can say that the secrete of good health is eating healthy food, exercise and stay at home. In healthy Indian food means eating all types of vegetables and fruits as per season. So I spend my last 10 days in making these crochet vegetables. You can try making them for Home Decor or for Gifting some one, specially kids. I also feel that this is a best gift for primary of Kinder Garden schools because that is the place where different vegetables are introduced to the kids. So to imagine their shapes, sizes and colours these crochet vegetables will help them. When I made this Potato, continuously I am whispering the song heard by my grandson," One potato, two potato .......". The Vegetable basket contains Potato, Carrot, Egg plant, Spinach, Cabbage, Bhendi, Beatroot, Garlic, Onion, Chilli, Lemon and Pepper (Simla Mirchi). So here we see the pattern of POTATO.

Crochet Toran Patti

Hello friends, After one month as per Lunisolar calender, there will be first month of new year "Chaitra" and its first day is known as Gudhi-padava. It is celebrated as a festival in Maharashtra. In the same month there occures "Ram Navami", birth of God Ram. In many Indian families they put the door hanging written the name of the some God so that when you entre hom, atomatically you read that and remember the God. So many subscribers of my youtube channels requested me to make such door hanging with the name of God Ram. So I made this for them. Here is the pattern: Note: 1. Y means yellow, R means Red. 2. Complete Toran patti is in double crochet so instead of writing 5dc by yellow and 3 dc by red, we only write 5Y, 3R 3. First dc means always ch3. 4. After each row sts will be 27. 5. Carry the other colour 6. Row 8 is corrected that that in video. Pattern: Make Chs 26+3 by Y. Row1: (Right Side) dc 1 in each ch starting from 4th ch (27 sts), ch3 turn Row2: (Wrong Side) dc1 in each st, Row3: (RS) 6Y, 15R, 6Y, Row4: (WS) All Y
Row5: As Row3 Row6 and Row7: All Y.
श्री starts Row8: 15Y, 2R, 2Y, 8Y. (27 sts) Row9: 7Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 2Y, 6R, 6Y. Row10: 6Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 1Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 8Y Row11: 9Y, 2R, 2Y, 8R, 6Y Row12: 11Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 10Y Row13: 11Y, 4R, 4Y, 2R, 6Y Row14: 2Y, 19R, 6Y Row15: 19Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 2Y Row16: 2Y, 19R, 6Y Row17: 19Y, 2R, 6Y Row18: All Y.
राम starts Row19: (RS) 8Y, 8R, 3Y, 2R, 6Y Row20: 6Y, 2R, 5Y, 2R, 3Y, 2R, 7Y Row21: 6Y, 2R, 5Y, 8R, 6Y Row22: 6Y, 2R, 19Y Row23: 6Y, 15R, 6Y Row24: 6Y, 2R, 19Y Row25: 8Y, 6R, 5Y, 2R, 6Y Row26: 6Y, 2R, 5Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 8Y Row27: 8Y, 13R, 6Y Row28: 6Y, 2R, 5Y, 2R, 12Y Row29: 6Y, 15R, 6Y Row30: 6Y, 2R, 19Y Row31: All Y.
जय starts Row32: 6Y, 2R, 4Y, 6R, 9Y Row33: 8Y, 2R, 9Y, 2R, 6Y Row34: 6Y, 2R, 4Y, 6R, 9Y Row35: 13Y, 2R, 4Y, 2R, 6Y. Row36: 6Y, 15R, 6Y Row37: 19Y. 2R, 6Y Row38: 6Y, 2R, 4Y, 6R, 9Y Row39: 8Y, 2R, 2Y, 2R, 5Y, 2R, 6Y Row40: 6Y, 8R, 3Y, 2R, 8Y Row41: 9Y, 2R, 8Y, 2R, 6Y Row42: 6Y, 15R, 6Y Row43: 19Y, 2R, 6Y Row44: All Y.
Now again we have to write राम which starts from row 19 that is odd row and here also our next row 45 is odd. So repeat rows 19 to 33 as they are to write राम and जय. Those will be row 45 to Row 57. Then next जय will start from row 58 means even row where as above Jay also starts from even row 32. So repeat rows 32 to 44. Next thirteen rows means Row 58 to 70. Next we have to write again जय which is going to start from Row 71 which is odd row where as in above pattern जय starts from even row 32, so repeat each row from 32 to 44 but in reverse order. Means Row 71 will be reverse of R32 that is, 9Y, 6R, 4Y, 2R, 6Y and so on…… Rows will be Row71 to Row83. Now we have to write last word राम which starts from R 84 means even so repeat from R19 to R31 in reverse order as explained above. That is R84 will be reverse of R19 means, 6Y, 2R, 3Y, 8R, 8Y They will be R84 to Row 96. Lastly repeat rows 2 to 7. Row102 will be the last row. Border: Join red yarn at corner st, make dc3 at corner st, again dc3 in same st (at corner make two times dc3), skip 2 sts, make dc3 in next st (along small side there are sts), repeat till other corner. Then along long side there are dcs or ch3, so skip one dc part and make dc 3 in next....
Now we make swastik piece:Make chs 17+1. Row1: sc1 in each st. Row2: Y1, R9, Y3, R3, Y1 Row3: Y1, R3, Y3, R3,Y7 Row4: Y1,R15,Y1 Row5: Y7, R3,Y3, R3, Y1 Row6: Y1, R3, Y3, R9, Y1, ch1 Row7: (hdc1 in each of 17 sts, hdc2 at corner) rep. Make 12 such pieces and join them by red yarn as shown.(sc1, ch2) along 4 sides of each piece and sc 2 at corner of each. Then make ch 15 vertically to join and chs 17 horizontally to join another swastik piece. Then join 15 beads diagonally. You can also make different design to join these pieces as per your choice.
