Crochet Samai Rangoli 7: Handmade Home Decor: Samai Decoration

 

Hi,

 This is the next in the series of Crochet Samai Rangoli or Samai decoration. This is a simple and beautiful design.

I used Ganga Glowing star yarn for this, 6 no beads and hook 3.5 mm.

Its length is 11.5", width 8" and weight yarn 18 gm, beads 8 gm.

Pattern: Make ring of chs 60.

Round 1: (dc 1 in 5 sts, dc2 in next) 10 times, cl (70). (First dc means ch3)

Place two markers after 30 sts  with 3 sts gap, twice.

Now we work row wise in 30 sts on one side.

R1: dc1 in first st, skip 2 sts, shell of 4dc-puff in next, ch3, skip 2 sts, (dc 1 in next, ch2, skip 1 sts) rep till there are 10 dcs, ch3, skip 2 sts, shell of 4dc-puff in next, dc 1 in last st. Turn…

R2: sl st in ch2-sp, shell on shell, (ch3, sc 1 in next ch2-sp) 9 times, ch3, shell on shell. Turn…

We have eight ch3-loops.

R3: sl st in ch2-sp, shell on shell, ch3, (sc 1 in ch3-loop, sc1 in next ch3-loop) rep, lastly ch3, shell on shell, turn…

We have seven ch3-loops. Thus number of ch3-loops goes on decreasing. Repeat this row till only one ch3-loop is there.

Last row: shell on shell, tr 1 in ch3-loop, shell on shell, join the upper edges of shells by sl st, BO.

Inner Border: By JAri chord make sl st in each of the initial 60 sts.

For decoration you may make chs to join two pineapples from shell side or you may have beads.

I have used 12 and 20 beads respectively for this on both sides as shown. Samai Rangoli is ready as in first photo.
