Crochet Prayer Rug (Puja Aasan 3), Chowki for Puja

Moreover it has no holes hence it is best for making the bag. I had already posted one card holder using this stitch, on 21st June 2021.

Crochet Woolen Feathers Showpiece, Beautiful Home Decor

 

Hello friends,

How are you? Hope, busy in your knitting / crocheting projects, right? This is my new creation.

Last month my sister, Sandhya send me this photo and asked that whether we can make it in crochet.

I really liked this but as she said this is under Macrame Art. Then I tried to make similar type of show piece and the result is here. I used totally Indian fast colours and also attached beads to each one of them before hanging.

The pattern is very very simple. Preferably take 6 ply yarn.

Make chs 17 for pink feather.

Skip 9 chs and from 10th onward make sc 1 in each st. 

Cut the yarn. Cut 60 pieces of yarn approximately 4".

Take 2 pieces and attach them in each sc-stitch as we attach tasseles from both sides.

Then separate the yarn's 6 parts by comb. 

If you want more, comb them again. It will look as,

Then cut piece of paper in the proper shape of feather. Attach it to the centre by pins. 

Now cut properly.

The beautiful feather is ready. You can make different size of feathers. As in first photo green is small one only of 15 chs.
