Crochet Oval Shaped Doily with Breaded Border: Ganapati Aasan 7

 

Hello friends,

Here I made another doily in Oval shape with breaded border. I like this idea of making breaded design in two colours. All these doilies which I made specially for Ganesgji are designed so that their border is attractive and middle part is simple, because we are going to place the Ganeshji's idol in between. In Maharashtra Ganesh Utsav (Festival of Ganeshji) is for 10 days and hence I have decided to make 10 different dolies (Aasan) for 10 days.

I used Vardhamaan 4 ply yarn and 3.5 mm hook.

Size 10”x8” wt: 53 gm.

Pattern: With orange make chs 7+2

R1: dc 1 in each of the 5 chs starting from 4^th, at corner ch make dc 7, dc 1 in each of the 5 sts from other side, dc 6 at corner st (5+7+5+7= 24 sts)

Place marker at the first and seventh st of corner’s 7 dcs.

R2: [dc 1 in each of the first 2 sts, dc2 in next, dc 1 in next 2 sts, from marker to other marker dc 2 in each st] rep on other side, (6+14+6+14=40 sts)

R3: [dc 1 in 6 sts, (dc1, dc2) 7 times] rep on other side, cl (6+21+6+21=54 sts).

Join white yarn,

R4: [ dc 1 in 2 sts, dc2 in each of the next 2 sts, dc 1 in 2 sts, (dc1 in two sts, dc2 in next) 7 times] rep on other side, cl, (8+28+8+28=72 sts)

R5: [dc 1 in 8 sts, (dc 1 in 3 sts, dc2 next) 7 times] rep on other side, cl (8+35+8+35= 86 sts)

R6: With orange yarn, dc 1 in each st, cl (86 sts)

R7: same as R6.

Bread: R1: (ch6, tr 1 in first ch) 20 times

R2: sc 10 in tr side of each loop, sc9 on chains side of each loop.cl

Make similar in other colour also.

Fix them into each other as shown, sew first and last orange loops then sew first and last white loops.

Place them around the last round and sew properly.

Crochet Peacock Train Doily: Specially for Krishn Janmashtami, Aasan 6

 

Hello friends,

On 30th of this month we are celebrating Birthday of God Krishn. He is just friend, philosopher and guide for every one.  With due respect to all 33 cr Gods probably Krishn is the one whom we can consider to be our friend. One of the reason for that may be he lived as human. He is fond of food (cream), music (plays flute very nice), He plays with many friends (Gop, Gopika - Cow man/ cow women). He loves Peacock feather which He always put it in his crowm. I heard so many stories about him from my grand ma.

Remembering his love about peacock feather, I decided to make Doily or Aasan as a Peacock Train in crochet. Peacock feather, I have already made as a bookmark but here I made doily as the whole peacock train.

I used all 4 ply Vardhamaan Millenium yarn and 1.75 mm hook for peacock feather and 3.5 mm for making the back leaf.

Pattern:

Final Size: 15.5" length and 11.5" width. Weight 65 gm.

 Peacock Feather:

With dark blue and yellow,

R1: in a magic loop make dc11 with dark blue and dcs 5 with yellow, cl. (16 sts)

First dc means ch3.

R2: with green , sc 2 in each st, cl BO.

Join magenta colour at the top central st.

R3: ch1, sc 1 in 5 sts, hdc 1 in 3 sts, dc 1 in 5 sts, (tr2) in each of the next 2 sts, (tr1, db tr1, tr1) in next st, then on other side also (tr2) in 2 sts, dc 1 in 5 sts, hdc 1 in 3 sts, sc 1 in 5 sts, cl.

Join blue yarn at central st.

R4: ch2, hdc1 in 5 sts, (hdc2) in next, dc 1 in 10 sts, (dc2) in each of the next 2 sts, at central st (dc1, tr1, dc1), then on other side, (dc2) in 2 sts, dc 1 in 10 sts, (hdc2) in next, hdc 1 in 5 sts, cl, BO.

Join dark blue or dark purple yarn.

R5: ch1, (sc 1 in 2 sts, ch3-picot) rep around, cl. BO.

Make such 8 feathers.

After placing all 8 feathers as above, I cut paper shape like this.

Then I placed the feathers on this and check the shape refine it.

Then I made this shape as a base for the train doily.

Base Leaf stricter

Make chs of length 2.2 inches, chs11+3

R1: dc 1 in each ch from 4^th ch, (11 sts),  ch3 turn,

R2: dc2 in first 2 sts, (first dc is already made of ch3) dc 1 in each st till last 2 sts, dc2 in last 2 sts, (15 sts)

R3: dc2 in first 2 sts, and last 2 sts, dc 1 in each of the middle sts. (19 sts)

Thus 4 sts increased in each row.

R4,  R5, R6 and R7 same as R3 till the width is 7-7.2 inches and sts are 35.

R8 and R9: dc 1 in each st (35 sts).

R10: (2dctog) in first two and last two sts, dc 1 in between. (33 sts)

R11: R13 R15 R17 R19 R21: dc 1 in each st.

R12, R14. R16, R18, R20: R22: same as R10, means 2 sts decreased in alternate row upto 21 sts.

 After R22 sts are 21.

R23, R24, R26, R28……. same as R10 means 2 sts decreased in each row till there are only 3 sts.

Lastly 3 dctog, BO.

Check the shape by alligning with paper cutting.

Place all feather in proper order.

Sew all feathers.

Then attach small tassels like with different colours.
