Crochet Trug Type 2, Flower Basket, Vessel to carry Flowers, Fruits etc, Paradi, Tashtari

 

Hello friends, How are you? Hope doing well.

In previous post I have shown one type of Trug (paradi). Here is the another one which is very very beautiful and still simple to make. I made the base of this in Oval Shape (as first type I made is having circular base. You can make this Paradi in any size. Instead of 11 chs, you mar start with 13 or 15 chs and work 2 or 3 rounds more to get the perfect shape. Increasing rounds is also simple. Keep scs on sides as they are and increase 3 sts on corner part as we generally develop circle.

Let us see the pattern.... 

PATTERN: I used 4 ply yarn and 3.5 mm hook. Length of base is 6", width 4" and height 2".

With Yellow yarn make chs 11+1. Here 9 chs will be side chains and 2 chs for corner development.

R1: Skip first ch, sc 1 in 2nd ch (which is corner ch), then sc 1 in 9 chs, sc3 in last ch (corner), on other side work, sc 1 in 9 sts, sc2 in last corner st (that is first sc-st), cl (total 9+3+9+3=24 sts). Place markers in first and third sc-sts of both corners.

Sl st 1 in order to work from first st out of side's 9 scs and keep the corner separate.

R2: ch1, (sc1 in 9 sts, (sc2 in each of the 3 corner sts) ] 2 times, cl. (9+6+9+6= 30)

R3: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 1 st, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+9+9+9= 36).

R4: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 2 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+12+9+12= 42).

R5: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 3 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+15+9+15=48)

R6: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 4 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+18+9+18=54)

R7: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 5 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+21+9+21=60)

R8: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 6 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+24+9+24=66)

R9: ch1, [sc1 in 9 sts, at corner (sc1 in 7 sts, sc2 next) 3 times] 2 times, cl. (9+27+9+27=72)

R10: ch1, make sc 1 in back loop of each st, cl (72).

R11: [(dc2, ch1, dc2) shell in one st, skip 3 sts] rep till end, cl. (18 shells). First dc means ch3.

R12: sl st till ch1-sp of shell,shell on shell, cl.

R13: same as R12.

Join Green yarn at ch1-sp of shell.

R14: [(dc2, ch2, dc2) in ch1-sp] rep till end, cl. BO.

Now with Green yarn we also make lower border. Join Green yarn at any unworked front loop of R10.

BORDER: Work in front loop only. [sl st in front loop, ch2, hdc 1 in next front loop] rep till end, cl. BO.

Join Red yarn at any ch2-sp of shell.

R15: [(5dc-popcorn in ch1-sp, ch3, sc1 at the joint space of two Green shells, ch3] 18 times, cl, BO.

BELT: With Yellow yarn make ring of ch4, (dc2,ch1, dc2) shell, in the ring, [TURN, sl st in ch1-sp includingthe working yarn, shell in ch1-sp] repeat till the required length.

Sew the belt properly as shown.

The beautiful Trug is ready as in the first photo.

Crochet Trug Type 1, Flower Basket, Vessel to carry Flowers, Fruits etc, Paradi, Tashtari

 

Hello friends,

I always wish to make something new, innovative. This time I made this TRUG, wooden basket to carry flowers or fruits. In Marathi (my mothertoung) we call it PARADI. It's very simple to make.

It's diameter is 6.3" and height 2". Of course you can make it in any size, it's very simple. I use Red heart yarn and 3.5 mm hook. But again, no restrictions, you can use and 4 ply yarn particularly Vardhamaan Millenium etc.

PATTERN: R1: In a magic loop, make ch1, sc6, cl (6)

R2: sc2 in each st, cl (12).

R3: (sc1 in 1 st, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (18).

R4: (sc1 in 2 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (24).

R5: (sc1 in 3 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (30).

R6: (sc1 in 4 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (36).

R7: (sc1 in 5 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (42).

R10: (sc1 in 8 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (60)

R11: (sc1 in 9 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (66)

R12: (sc1 in 10 sts, sc2 in next) 6 times, cl (72).

                                                   

R13: dc1 in back loop of each st, cl (72).

R14: (bpdc1, fpdc1) rep till end, cl. (First bpdc means bpsc, ch2 or make simply 3 chs)

R15: (fpdc on fpdc, bpdc on bpdc) rep till end, cl.

R16 to R19 or R20: same as R15. 9Till the height is 2")

Now join yellow yarn at one  unworked front loop of R 13.

Border: (sl st, ch2, hdc1 in next st) rep till end, cl.

Make the same border at the top only in front loop of each st.

BELT: Ring of ch4, (3dctog, ch2, 3dctog) shell, in a ring, [take yarn on front side, sl st in ch2-sp of shell, shell in ch2-sp] repeat till the required length of belt.

Sew this in the back loop left unworked on the top.

The beautiful trug (Paradi) is ready.

Braided Rakhi Design and Three Rings Rakhi Design

 

Hello friends,

Look at these two Rakhi designs, they seem to be similar type but very different designs. Left one is little bit difficult, intermmediate level where as right one is very simple for beginners type design. So let us see the right one first.

In both types use 4 ply yarn and 1.75 mm hook.

For 3 Ring Design: R1: with red yarn make ring of ch 8. Then dc 20 in the ring (First dc is always ch3)

Then with yellow yarn make ch8, insert in the red ring already made then make sl st to form a ring.

Now make dc 20 in the same ring. Pull the yellow ring up whenever necessary. cl, BO.

Also thread bead and make chs 50, 3dc-puff as a cord.

If you want, you can finish the rakhi at this stage also making red cord on other end.

Lastly again with yellow yarn make third ring as second one. 

Sew beads where ever you like them. Make cord as usual.

The following video with English subtitles may help you.

For another Braided Rakhi ...

Make chs 35. From second ch make, sc1, hdc1, dc30, hdc1, sc1, BO

                                                 

Similarly make one more strip with contrast color.

                                                      

Place the strips as shown and fold them as shown.

Folding the strips and inserting in each other is little bit tricky, but practice will make it perfect.

See the following video with English subtitles and fold it rightly to make Cable like design.
