PATTERN: 

I use: Yarn Vardhamaan Cuddles a thin yarn, hook 3.5 mm, metal rings two with diameter 9.5”, beads 125 and bells 25.

 

R1: Make hdc around the ring to wrap the whole ring, cl. Make sure that the stitches are in multiple of 20. You can adjust by adding or by removing some stitches. Here I have to make 160 hdcs.

R2: dc1 in each st, cl.

First dc is always ch3.

Place marker at each 20^th st around (8 times).

R3: [(dc2, ch2, dc2) shell in one st, ch4, skip 7 sts, dc3 in next, ch3, skip 2 sts, dc3 in next, ch4, skip 7 sts] 8 times, cl. (Shell will be at each marker’s stitch.

R4: Sl st till ch2-sp of marker, [shell on shell, ch2, on three dc-sts of previous round make (dc2 on first dc-st, dc1 on second, dc2 on third dc-st), ch2, dc1 on middle ch (out of ch3 in previous round), ch2, again (dc2 on first dc-st, dc1 on second, dc2 on third dc-st), ch2] 8 times, cl.

R5: sl st till ch2-sp, [shell on shell, ch2, 2dctog, dc1, 2dctog, ch3, dc3 on dc-st (bold), ch3, 3dctog, dc1, 2dctog, ch2] 8 times, cl.

R6: sl st till ch2-sp, [shell on shell, ch1, 3dctog, dc1 on first dc-st, ch3, dc1 on third dc-st, 3dctog, ch1] 8 times, cl.

R7: sl st till ch2-sp, [shell on shell, ch4, dc3 on first dc-st, ch3, dc3 on second dc-st, ch1] 8 times, cl.

Repeat rounds R4 to R7 as much as the required length reached. For 9-10 inches I get the pattern repeated 4 times.

 

Last but one round: sl st till ch2-sp, [dc2 in ch2-sp, dc1 on two dc-sts of shell, dc2 in ch1-sp, dc3 in first ch3-sp, dc4 in second ch3-sp, dc3 in third ch3-sp, dc2 on ch1-sp, dc1 on two dcs of shell]  8 times, cl.

We get again 20 sts from each pattern thus 160 total sts.

Last round: hdc 1 in each st including the second metal ring. Close and BO.

Take double thread and make chs to get 25” long chord. Attach it to the Aakash kandil as shown. Make one more and attach it opposite points so as to hold it properly.

Make 25 Latkan (Tasseltype) as follows.

Tie the yarn with bell, (thread 1 bead, ch 9) 5 imes, bind off with 4-5 inches yarn end.

Sew them equally to the lower ring as shown in the following picture.You can make different latkans also.
