Crochet Garland Type 8, Flowers on Leaves

 

Hello friends,

Festival season about to start in India. So let's make this beautiful Garland for Ganeshji, Kanha or any idol or any frame. This is totally different Garland. Most of the garlands we made are of flowers but this is first time we are making garland on Leaf Based.

It's length is 15" + cord as long as you wish. I used 3.5 mm crochet hook for leaves and 2.5 mm for flowers (as I need small flowers). Yarn used red Heart.

PATTERN: 

CORD: With green yarn make ch4, 3dc-puff in first ch, chs 50 for cord to tie the garland.

LEAF: ch 15, [form second ch make sl st1, sc1, hdc1, dc1, extended dc 1, tr3, 

ext dc 1, dc1, hdc1, sc1, sl st in last ch, TURN, 

get working yarn behind, from other side sc1, hdc1, dc1, ext dc1, tr3, 

ext dc1, dc1, hdc1, sc1, sl st in opposite side's st]. (One leaf complete). 

Ch 15 and repeat [ to ] to make second leaf (one ch remains unworked).

Go on making leaves as much as you want the length of Garland when made doubled. I made 8 leaves.

Lastly make  chs 50+4. Then 3dc-puff in 4th ch from hook, BO.

Now join green yarn at the sl st of first leaf. Go on making sl sts from the middle of leaf, ch1, then repeat for next leaf. By this we get better look, as well as leaves are not twisted.

Then join the yarn at centre (4 leaves on both sides) and the make one leaf as a centre of the garland.

FLOWER: With red yarn and 2.5 mm hook. In a magic loop (make ch2, incomplete dc, YO, pass through both of them, ch1-picot by sl st, ch2, sl st in magic loop) one petal made. Repeat and make 6 petals, BO.

Where to sew the flower, is your choice. You can sew at the centre on the leaf or you can sew at the jount of two leaves. You can have bead at the centre of each flower or you can also have bead at  plathe joint of leaves and flower at centre of leaf.

The beautiful and different garland is here.
