Crochet Toran with Grapes Toran patti, Bandhanwaar, Door Decor, Door Hanging

 

Friends, 

This is my new beautiful Toran design. It has Toran patti with grapes design and Big flowers are attached.

Yarn used Vardhamaan Millenium, hook 3.5 mm. Length 37.5” height 14” and weight 140 gm.

PATTERN:

Make chs multiple of 15 + 10

I made 165+10=175, then + 3 as a first dc.

We have taken 15 x 11 165 sts so we shall get 11 big flowers places. So that we get middle ONE easily otherwise also if we would have started with 15X12= 180 + 10 sts then we would get 12 big flowers, that means two middle and hence you can decorate mid of middle 2 flowers separately.

R1: dc 1 in each ch starting from 4th ch. (175) First dc is always ch3.

R2: (dc1 in 10 sts, ch5, skip 5 sts) rep till end, lastly dc1 in 10 sts.

R3: [(dc1, ch3, dc1) in the middle 2 dcs out of 10 dcs (that is on 5th and 6th dcs), ch3, (5dc-puff, ch2) 5 times in ch5-sp, ch3] rep till end lastly (dc1, ch3, dc1) in the middle space out of 10 dcs, ch3, dc1 in last st.

R4: dc1 on first st, [ ch3, dc1 in ch3-sp, dc1 on 2 dc-sts, dc1 in ch3-sp, ch3, (4dc-puff, ch2 in ch2-sp between two puffs of R3) 4 times] rep till end.

R5: dc1, ch1, [dc1 in ch3-sp, dc1 on 4 dc-sts, dc1 in next ch3-sp, ch 3, (puff in ch2-sp, ch2) 3 times, lastly ch3 instead of ch2] rep till end.

R6:  dc1, ch1, [dc1 in ch3-sp, dc1 on 6 dc-sts, dc1 in next ch3-sp, ch 3, (puff in ch2-sp, ch2) 2 times, lastly ch3 instead of ch2] rep till end.

R7: dc1, ch1, [dc1 in ch3-sp, dc1 on 8 dc-sts, dc1 in next ch3-sp, ch 3, puff in ch2-sp, ch3] rep till end.

R8: (dc1 in 10 dc-sts, ch5) rep till end.

Toran patti completed.

Join green yarn at one end. But in the video I have already made half part so I join green yarn at the centre and do accordingly. If not the you can work 4 rows continuously from one end to other end.

R1: (worked from centre to end) ch1, [sc1 on first dc-st, (ch2, skip 2 sts, sc 1 in next dc-st) 2 times, ch3, sc 1 at the edge of grape design including ch-sp, ch3] rep till end.

R2: (worked from end to centre) dc1, [ch4, (dc3, ch2, dc3)shell, in the middle ch2-sp (out of 3sps), ch4, dc3 on the sc-st at the edge of grapes] rep till end.

R3: (centre to end) (dc1 on each of the 3 dc-sts, ch4, shell, ch4) rep till end.

R4: (end to centre) same as R3

R5: (centre to end) as R3

R6: (end to centre) as R3

Here onward we have to work two sides separately. Join yarn at end stitch.

R1: ch3, (shell, ch4, dc3, ch4) rep till last but one dc3 group,

R2: sl st in the middle dc-st, make V (dc1, ch2, dc1) on middle dc-st,  remaining part same as R3 means (ch4, shell, ch4 dc3) till end.


R3: same as R1 till last dc 3.

R4: same as R2

Repeat these two rows till there is last V made on dc 3 group.



We have 5 Vs on this side one in the middle and flowers on 5 other side’s V are already made.

So now let us see, how to make big flower in V. First flower we make at corner's V.

Join yellow yarn at V.

R1: (dc1, ch1) 6 times on one side of V, (dc1, ch1) 6 times, in ch2-sp of V, (dc1, ch1) 6 times, on other side of V, cl by sl st, BO.

Join pink yarn in the space before first dc.

R2: sc1, (ch3, tr3 in ch1-sp, ch3-picot by sl st, tr3 in the next ch1-sp, ch3, join by sc in the next ch1-sp) rep . One petal is made in 3 ch1-spaces. Repeat ( to ) 5 more times, cl.




Make such big flowers at each V. Oh!! see how they look! not neat ....


So we have to straighten them and fix them by sewing.

Sew them to each other at one place, and it’s 2 petals with green portion so that flowers will remain stiff and it’s petal will not be turned.

Sew tassels at the joint of two flowers as shown.
