Crochet Shela 1 (Small Shawl) for Kanha ji Ganesh ji

 

Hi,

 The festval of Janmashtami, Ganesh Utsav are coming soon. So I made some Shela (Small Shawls) for Kanha ji or Ganesh ji idols. This is very simple one and can be easily made. I used 4 ply Vardhamaan Millenium yarn, 1.75 mm and 0.5 mm hooks. It's length is 16" and width is 4". It's weight 25 gm. I also use beads and Zari chord.

Pattern: Make chs 15+3

R1: dc 1 in each ch from 4th ch (15 sts)

  

R2: dc 1 in each st (first dc means ch3)

Repeat R1 and R2 till the required length. I have to make 37 rows.

Border: ch1, sc 1 in each st along width, sc3 in last st, sc 2 in dc-st along length side.

R2 of border: ch1, sc 1 in back loop of each sc-st.

R3 of border: ch1, (sc1, place a bead, sc 1 in 2 sts) rep till end along length side.

R4 of Border: with Zari chord, ch1, sc 1 in unworked front loop of R2.

Attach small tassels on width sides.

The beautiful Shela (small shawl) is ready.
