Crochet Aakash Kandil, Aakash Diya, Table Lamp Specially for Diwali and Christmas

 

Hello friends, 

Let's see, what I made this week. It's beautiful Table Lamp for Diwali or Christmas. You can put Panati or Battery Lamp inside this and keep on table, it will look amazing. See the following photos in first it is kept on Table where as in second it is hanged. Panati is kept in side on table and bult is hanged inside it in second photo. So it can be placed on table or hanged out side, for that type of lamp, I sewed tassels at the base.

For this I need 2 square metal rings  (6" each side), 4 metal stems (9" length),

4 pompom, Vardhamaan Millenium yarn (actually left over yarn), Golden yassels and 3.5 mm hook.

Tie the stems on 4 sides keeping metal squares at base and at top and form a box type.

Now make 4 sides (walls) of that box.

R1: with yellow, make dc 12 in a magic loop, cl. BO.

R2: with green, make (dc1 on dc, ch1) 12 times, cl.

R3: (2dctog in ch1-sp, ch2) 12 times, cl, BO.

R4: with red, (5dc-popcorn in ch2-sp, ch4) 12 times, cl, BO.

R5: with white, [(tr3, ch3, tr3) in ch4-sp, (dc4 in next ch4-sp, ch1) 2 times] 4 times, cl, BO.

R6: with blue, [(dc4, ch2, dc4) in ch3-sp, dc4 in each ch1-sp] rep till end, cl.

It's approximately 5.5", hence after hdc round to join with two sides, it will be perfect. For height we have to work 2 rows more on two opposite sides.

Row 1: ch3 (as first dc), dc1 in same st, dc4 in each ch1-sp (4 times), dc 2 in last st.

Row 2: ch3, turn, dc4 in each gap (5 times), dc1 in last st.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 on other side opposite to this.

Make such 4 parts. Sew two opposite parts first by making hdc along with the metal stem on sides and ring's side on top and bottom.

Then for other two sides, we  don't need to make hdc because those will be ready and this time we have to sew them by tapestry needle taking both threads of each st.

Hence we make the row of hdc in each st on longer sides of these parts and then sew by tapestry needle.

Roof: with blue make, ring of ch 24.

R1: (3dc tog, ch2) 8 times, cl. BO.

R2: with white, dc3 in each ch2-sp, cl, BO.

R3: with yellow, [dc2 in one gap beyween two dc3-groups, (dc2, ch2, dc2)shell in next  gap] 4 times, cl, BO.

R4: with green, [dc2 in each gap, shell in ch2-sp] 4 times, cl.

After  R3, we have 6 dc-sts in betweem two ch2-spaces.

After R4, we have 8 dc-sts in between two ch2-spaces.

Thus 2 dcs increase after wach round. Repeat this round till we have 20 dc-sts in between two ch2-spaces. Colors as per your choice. I used red after green, then green again, Then yellow, white and blue 2 times. 

Then put ch2-spaces in 4 metal stems and sew all sides by tapestry needle by taking 2 threads form the side st and only back loop of the top, we just made.

In unwotked front loops make dc 1 in each st and dc 3 at corner by blue yarn.

Lastly make hdc1 in each st and 3 hdc at corner, as a border. Glue small pompoms on the open end of metal stems.

If you want to use this as table lamp then make cley balls at base and if you are using this as a hanging lamp then sew tassels or beads Latkans.

The most beautiful Table lamp or Aakash Diya is ready.
