Shubh Labh Wall Hanging for Diwali, Marriage or Thread Ceremony

Hello friends, 

The above letters which you can see are शुभ (Shubh) and लाभ  (Labh). Shubh means Auspicious, sacred or good and Labh means gain, prosperity, success, benefit. It is believed that writting these letters brings good fortune, prosperity, success and protection. Hence these letters are generally written on special occassions as marriage or Thread ceremony or big festivals like Diwali.

Hence I made these Shubh Labh Wall hanging for special events. Before this also I made one Shubh Labh wall hanging and Toran but at that time I made decorated wall hanging and glue ready made शुभ  लाभ on that.

But this time I didn't glue shubh labh letters but I crocheted it and then decorate the pieces.

It's length is 7.5" and total weight nearly 60 gm, We need some beads, bells and card board for back support.

I used all plain colors in Vardhman Millenium and shading yarn for border is Ganga rangoli, hook 1.75 mm.

With red yarn make chs 20+2. 

Note: Complete work is in double crochet so I will write R3 for 3 dcs by red yarn and Y5 means 5 double crochet with Yellow yarn.

Row1: R17, Y2, R1

Row2: R1, Y6, R1, Y7, R5

Row3: R5, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R1

Row 4: R1, Y10, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R1

Row 5: R1, Y2, R14, Y2, R1

Row 6: R1, Y14, R2, Y2, R1

Row 7: R1, Y6, R10, Y2, R1

Row 8: R1, Y2, R17

Row 9: R5, Y6, R2, Y6, R1

Row10: R1, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R5

Row11: R5, Y14, R1

Row12: R1, Y2, R6, Y2, R9

Row 13: R5, Y14, R1

Row 14: R1, Y2, R17

For bettwe understanding you may refer this graph. 

Now let us make LABH

with red make chs 20+2

Row1: dc1 in each ch from 4th ch (20)Actually in video this row is made by mistake I uncrocheted it later.

 So you make here single crochet row instead of double crochet so that further calculations will be correct.

Row2: R3, Y2, R3, Y9, R3

Row 3: R3, Y2, R5, Y2, R3, Y2, R3

Row 4: R3, Y2, R3, Y6, R6

Row 5: R7, Y2, R6, Y2, R3

Row 6: R3, Y14, R3

Row 7: R15, Y2, R3

Row 8: R3, Y14, R3

Row 9: R15, Y2, R3

Row 10: R3, Y6, R2, Y6, R3

Row 11: R3, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R2, Y2, R3

Row 12: R3, Y14, R3

Row 13: R7, Y2, R6, Y2, R3

Row 14: R3, Y14, R3

Row 15: R15, Y2, R3

Now make two lines of double crochets at the top and 2 at the base so that both will be perfect squares.

Note that when there are not stitches, make 2dcs in dc-row each time. We have 28 sts on both sides. For border we need multiple of 3 plus 1.

Now join green yarn at corner's stitch. 

R1: [(dc1, ch2, dc1)V in one st, skip 2 sts] rep till corner, ch3then repeat same on other side. Note that we make ch3 extra at every corner before turning.

                                               

R2: [5dc-popcorn in ch2-sp of V, sc1 at the top, (ch3, sc1 at centre) 2 times, ch2] rep till corner at corner make ch3 instead of ch2. On the top of SHUBH writting after 5 popcorns made, make dc 1 at centre, ch10 join by sl st as in picot then make remaining popcorns. This will work as a loop for hanging them.

Lastly sew some beads or tassels as needed and decorate them.

New Crochet Design for Shwal, Stole, Frock etc

Hi, Many of the subscribers of my channel make crochet articals and sell them. I am glad to see that people are earning with my patterns. In a way or other may be very small but I am helping them and this is my main motive to start this channel and blog. I always think that whatever I have, should be useful to the community. Ofcourse I also know that their earning is not too big but still this idea make me feel good. So when any one of them ask me some difficulty in completing their orders, happily I try to solve their difficulty. So one of such difficulty asked by one of my subscriber is this crochet pattern. She has order to be completed with this crochet design and she is unable to make that puff flower while working row-wise. So I make one square doily with that design. Pattern: This pattern needs multiple of 18 plus 10. So we start with 54+10=64 chs. (14" length) Make additional 2 chs and R1: Make dc 1 in each st starting from 4th ch (64 sts).

R2: ch3+1, [incomplete puff (this will be horizontal), skip 2 sts, second incomplete puff in next st, skip 2 sts, third incomplete puff in next st, YO and pass through all 19 sts on hook, complete puff at the joint of three incomplete puff, (4 petals of the puff flowers made). ch1, dc 1 in 10 sts, ch1] rep this till the length. Incomplete puff means: Stretch the stitch on the hook to get long st, (YO pass through the st, YO and get 2 long sts) repeat this 3 times, there are 7 sts on the hook. Complete puff means: (YO pass through the st, YO and get 2 long sts) repeat this 3 times, YO pass through all 7 sts, ch 1 to fix it.

R3: ch3+ ch1, [complete puff in the centre of flower, ch2, complete puff in the same place, ch1, dc 1 in next 10 sts] rep till end. See the first complete six-petal flower.

Note that for complete puff we refer as puff only. R4: ch3 turn, [ dc 2 in first gap, dc1 on the edge of puff st, dc2 in gap, dc 1 on edge of the puff st, dc2 in last gap, dc1 on dc-st] (considering ch3 as first dc, total 10 dcs made), ch1, get long st, incomplete puff on this ch1, skip 2 sts, second incomplete puff on next, skip two sts, third incomplete puff on next st, YO pass through all 19 sts, get a long st, puff at this joint, ch1, dc1 in last dc-st] rep till end.

R5: dc 1 on each of the next 10 sts, [complete puff in the centre of flower, ch2, complete puff in the same place, ch1, dc 1 in next 10 sts] rep till end.

Repeat R2 to R5 as much as the length required, means 14". Last row: dc 1 in each st. (as our first row).

Then ch3 and dc 2 in each dc-gap on both edges of the square.

Border: Join green yarn at any st, make R1: ch2, (hdc 1 in each st till corner, at corner hdc3) rep.

R2: sl st in 2 sts, (ch2, skip 3 sts, puff 1 in next st, ch2, puff in same st, ch2, puff in same st, ch2, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next) rep till end. Take care that at corner always there should be 3 puffs design.

Beautiful square doily is ready. The following video with English subtitles may help you. ETC: Enjoy the Creativity.
