Hello friends,

Look at this beautiful Table runner which is S-Shaped and looks amazing.

Purple is my favorite color and so I loved this much more. 

Length 36" and width 15". Weight of this table runner is 220 gm.

Purple and white both yarns are Bernet Baby wool which is very same in thickness as Vardhaman Millenium. Hook used is 3.5 mm. First we shall see, how to make the flower.

PATTERN: 

Type A petals: ch10,

R1: From second ch make, sc1, hdc1, dc5, hdc1, sc1, turn and on back side make sl st in each of the 9 sts, ch2, now on other side also work sc1, hdc1, dc5, hdc1, sc1 lastly sl st in the last st on opposite side.

Make chs 12 and start second petal in continuation.

sc1, hdc1, dc5, hdc1, sc1, turn and on back side make sl st in each of the 9 sts, ch2, now on other side also work sc1, hdc1, dc5, hdc1, sc1.

                                                           

Make total 6 type A petals in contunuation. 

Now in continuation make 

Type B Petals: chs 14, from second ch make, sc1, hdc1, dc7, hdc1, sc1. turn and on back side make sl st in each of the 11 sts, ch2, now on other side also work sc1, hdc1, dc7, hdc1, sc1 lastly sl st in the last st on opposite side. 

Repeat this and make total 8 petals of type B.

After that in continuation make,

Type C Petals: chs 16, From second ch make, sc1, hdc1, dc9, hdc1, sc1, turn and on back side make sl st in each of the 13 sts, ch2, now on other side also work sc1, hdc1, dc9, hdc1, sc1 lastly sl st in the last st on opposite side.

Make total 12 petals of C type. Then with 1 ft  yarn end, BO.

Now we have (6+8+12) means 26 petals to form a flower. Thread the yarn in tapestry needle. Place the petals little bit overlapping on one another and sew them. You may use video to form a beautiful flower.

Central Part Pollen of the Flower: with orange yarn make, (chs 7, dc1 on 4th ch, sl st in the same st, sl st on each of the remaining 3 sts) 5 times

Sepal of the flower: with green yarn, 

R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl.

Then sew or glue this sepal to the flower made.

Crochet Big Samai Rangoli (for 2 ft Samai)

 

Hello friends,

In India every where is Diwali MAHOL (Diwali atmosphere) hence I made one more Beautiful Doily as Aasan for Mahalaxmi, The Goddess Mahalaxmi is worshipped on the main occassion of Diwali, called LAXMI -PUJAN. The idol of Goddess Laxmi is placed on some Aasan (Rug) and is worshipped. So I made this doily for placing Mahalaxmi Idol on it. Before 2-3 years I made actual Lotus as Mahalaxmi Aasan. This year I have already made one Diya border doily for Mahalaxmi.

This doily given in first photo is the new creation. I also made Samai Rangoli for Big Samai (2ft) with the same design.

For Samai Rangoli I used Bernet yarn (from USA) and same hook.

R12: with white yarn, (dc5) in each sc-st, cl. (175)

For further border we need multiple of 11 sts so we make 6 dcs in last sc-st. Hence sts become (176)

Crochet Diwali Special Aakash Kandil, Lantern Type Diya Holder, Small Mandir for Idol

 

Hello friends,

For this Diwali occasion I made one more Aakash Diya. This is specially for Panati or Diya. But actually you can place bulb also inside. You can also use it as a MANDIR and place small idol as in the third photo above.

Previously made two Aakash Diya were already posted on this blog.

https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=table+lamp+specially+for+Diwali

https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/2024/09/crochet-aakash-kandil-simple-beautiful.html

I also apologies because I know that I should have posted this before Diwali. Actually I have published this video before Diwali on my youtube channel Kalopasak but I failed to write the pattern and post it here before Diwali.

Now let us see, how to make this Mandir type Aakash Diya.

For this we need 2 metal rings with 4.5" diameter, some beads amd tassels. Yarn: Vardhamaan Millenium, hooks used 3.5 mm, 1.75 mm and 0.5 mm (for inserting beads)

This lantern is 13.5", actually I wanted to make 11-12 inches but finally it is 13.5" For 11"-12", I should have make small strips with beads.

Pattern:   R1: With pink yarn cover the ring by single crochets (scs). I need 72  scs to cover this ring with 3.5 mm hook.

R2: By 1.75 mm make dc 1 in each st, cl (72). (I shifted to 1.75 mm because it goes easy to insert the hook in sc with ring.)

R3: (dc3 in one st, skip 2 sts) rep till end, cl.

R4 and R5: dc3 in each gap between two group of dc3, cl.

R6: Join second ring by scs with each of these 72 sts.

Then place markers after every 12 sts. (6 markers)

Now make LATKAN (those white puff cords seen attached to this base part with these 6 markers). 

LATKAN: (ch2,5dc-puff in second ch, pass 1 bead) rep till 4 beads, lastly one puff.

Make such 6 LATKANS. Join them at markers.

With remaining two rings make one more piece like this with above 6 rounds without Latkans.  Place 6 markers here also after every 11 sts. 

                                                        

Now make two flat round pieces as follow.

R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl

R2: dc2 in each st, cl (24)

R3: (dc1, dc2 in next st) 12 times, cl (36)

R4: (dc1 in 2 sts, dc2 in next) 12 times , cl. (48)

R5: (dc1 in 3 sts, dc2 in next) 12 times , cl. (60)

R6: (dc1 in 4 sts, dc2 in next) 12 times , cl. (72)

Attach one after the second round of lower base part. 

For joining these two parts make 6 STRIPS as followa with pink yarn.

STRIP: [Make ch2, enlarge the stitch pass 1 bead by using 0.5 mm hook,

fix it by ch1, ch4, sl st in the second ch (initially made), ch4, sl st in the first ch opposite to the first sl st.

ch1, sc5 in ch4-sp including the thread behind. join by sl st in the first ch (out of ch2 made initially), sc5 oon ch4-sp of other side of bead, close by sl st in opposite side's st] 

rep till 6 beads in the strip. Here if you want less height then make strip of 4 beads only. Make such 6 strips.

Fix them with one end at join of two LATKAN and other end at marker of the second half.

We made two flat rounds, second flat round we keep extra. 

1. If you want to keep Small idol as in the following photos then you may sew it to last round of lower part of 2 rings

2. If you wish to place PANATI (oil diya) then you may place it at base. So that if it gets oily then you should be able to remove it and wash. (No need to wash whole show piece).

For holding this stand. Make 6 cords same as we make LATKAN by white yarn with 3 beads and 4 puffs. Join the at the st paralle to the stripd joint and tie the other 6 ends together.

Zari Border: Join zari cord at first st after one  strip. [Make sc1 in each st till the next strip is joint. ch1, skip the joint st (where the strip is joined with joint of 2 latkans)] rep 6 times, cl. BO.

Also make similar border for lower and upper part of  upper half part. Of course if you have joined the strip using 2 sts then make sc1 in each st till joint then ch2 then sc in other part.

Here the beautiful Diya holder, Mandir is ready.
