In Maharashtra (India) Dohaljevan (a traditional Baby Shower ceremony) celebrated in Maharashtra, generally in 7th month of pregnancy.
The pregnant lady wears generally Green saree and sits in some decorative scenery, most of the time on swing. She wears all flower jewelry. All her friends and family member shower the blessings. They also sing songs and make her mood happy and fresh so that she will be mentally prepare for motherhood. They also prey for good health of baby and mother.
Now a days many of our kids are abroad where it is difficult to get flower jewelry set and all. Hence I have decided to make Crochet Jewelry set in Green. Here is part 1 of the set in which I made Earrings and Pendant with chain.
I use Vardhaman Dropill yarn for this and hook 1.75 mm. For threading beads I have to use 0.55 mm hook. Also I need some beads. As you can see in first photo that along with Green for some items I used Yellow and White. The whole set is completed in just 100 gm of Green yarn. Length of the Earring is 2.5". For smaller size you may use 1 mm hook.
PATTERN: Make ch2, thread a bead, ch3 and fix it properly with ch1 before bead. Now there are ch3 on one side of bead and the tread on other side of bead.
R1: Make sl st on thread side space along with the yarn end which we have to hide. Make ch3, dc 7 in that space then turn little bit and make dc 8 on ch3-space, ch3 and sl st at centre. Heart type shape is formed.
R2: ch3, (sc 1 on dc-st, ch1) 2 times, (hdc1 on next dc-st, ch1) 2 times, (dc1, ch1) 2 times, (tr1, ch1) in next dc-st,
(tr1, ch3, tr1) in next dc-st (means middle st),
(ch1, tr1) in next, (ch1,dc1) 2 times, (ch1, hdc1) 2 times, (ch1, sc1) 2 times, lastly ch3 and sl st at centre.
R3: ch1, sc3 in ch3-sp, then in ch1-sp make (sc1, ch3, sc1) 7 times,
at ch3-sp of centre (sc1, ch3, sc1, ch4-picot by sl st, sc1, ch3, sc1),
then (sc1, ch3, sc1) 7 times, sc3 in ch3-sp, cl by sl st at centre near bead.
Lastly loop of ch9 to attach Earring base.
Make one more.
Pendant is made exactly same as earring.
Chain for necklace.
(ch10, bead 1) repeat till the required height.
I made till the length is 22". Then pass through the ch9-loop of the pendant and make a knot as last on back side.
I hope that you will LIKE this simple but beautiful set.

How are you all, hope enjoying crocheting. In the last post I made a Lotus type doily with Swastik at centre, but it's diameter became small that my Ganapati idol can't be placed in that. So this time I made bigger one. Actually I am sorry that I should have posted this blog 4-5 days before Ganesh Utsav but due to some unavouidable circumstances I could not. But you can make this for Laxmi Pujan in Diwali.
One more thing that in this lotus I didn't make Swastik at centre, if you want you can.
PATTERN: With white I made,
R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl
R2: dc 2 in each st, cl (24)
R3: (dc1 in 1 st, dc2 in next) 12 times, cl (36)
R4: with Pink, (3dctog in 1 st, ch2, skip 1 st) 18 times, cl.
R5: with white, (dc1 in 4 in each ch2-sp)18 times, cl (72)
R6: dc1 in each st, cl. (72)
Here the diameter is nearly 6.5" means it is suffiicient to keep the Ganeshji idol or Laxmiji's idol.
R7: with Pink, ch1, [sc 1 in 8 sts, ch9, sc 1 in 8 chs starting from second ch] 9 times, cl. [9 petal bases are ready]
R8: (bpdc 1 on 5 dcs, bpdc 2 in next) 12 times, cl, (84)
R9: (dc1 in 6 sts, dc2 next) 12 times, cl (96)
R10: Same as R7, (12 petal bases are ready)
R11: (bpdc 1 on 7 dcs, bpdc2 on next) 12 times, cl (108)
PETALS: Join pink yarn at 4th sc-st from petal base on left.
ch1, [dc1, tr1, (tr2), (dc2), dc1 in 2 sts, hdc1, sc1, ch2-picot by sl st, then on other side make, sc1, hdc1, dc1 in 2 sts, (dc2), (tr2), tr1, dc1, sl st in 4th sc-st from base, sl st in next] 9 times, cl.
Then join pink yarn at 4th sc-st from base on left of second round of petals.
Repeat same pattern for Petals as above for all 12 petals, cl, BO.
Due to R11, see how our lotus petals reamin in standing position.
The beautiful and Big Lotus type doily (aasan) is ready here for Ganeshji.
