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.

ETC: Enjoy the Creativity.
