Crochet Small Lantern | Kandil (Old Kerosen Lamp) | Home Decor | Crochet Toran of Small Kandil

 

Hello friends,

In every festival we want to make some new home decor. Last year I made these small Aakash Kandil (lantern) as a show piece.

See the post,

So this year I made Old Kerosene Lantern as in photo 1.

For Toran I made Kandil by 1.75 mm hook and Hobby Stores yarn which is 4 ply but still very thin. There are beautiful colours in that. 

The middle one in three (red and yellow) I made in 1.75 mm hook but with Vardhamaan Millenium yarn so it comes out bigger in size.

Height of smaller two is 3” and height of other is 3.5”. Weight 8 gm
