Every year I made different patterns for Rakhi, e.g. Flower rakhi, belt type rakhi for elders, special cartoon rakhi for kids as Peppa Pig, Bear, Chota Bhim etc Then I also realise that kids (boys) like Cars most. So I decided to make Car Rakhi. 

Actually I have made Car applique but it is big and I made it as a patch work on sweater of my grand son.

But for Rakhi I need small car. It's length is 2". I used 4 ply yarn and 1.75 mm hook. So here is the pattern.

R2: sl st 1 in side sts, sc 1 in 2 sts, ch5, skip 2 sts, dc1 in next, ch5, skip 2 sts,

sc1 in 6 sts, (sc2) at lower corner, sc 1 in each of the base sts and side sts, sc 4 in ch5-sp, sc1 on dc-st, sc5 in ch5-sp,

sc 1 in each st till lower corner, (sc2) at corner-st, sl sts on each bottom sts, sl st 2 on side-sts.

Thread pearl by 0.5 mm hook, make chs 40+3, 3dc-puff on 4th ch. hide the yarn end and cut.

Join yarn on other side for making cord, thread pearl and make similarly other cord.

Crochet Butterfly for Home Decor, Applique (Patchwork piece) for Baby Sweater, Butterfly Rakhi

 

Hi,

Friends here I have made a beautiful Butterflies. It's very simple and beautiful. Before this also I made butterfly but they get heavy and could not be stick on wall due to their weight. So this time I made light weight butterfly 😁. 

You can also use these butterflies as patchwork and sew them on baby sweater or baby blanket etc.

Then because festival Raksha Bandhan is coming soon, I made Rakhi out of these Butterflies. I hope that kids and Nature's lovers will definitely love these Rakhi.

BUTTERFLY: With 3.5mm hook it's 3" with 2.5mm hook it's 2" and by 1,75 mm it comes out to be 1.8". I mention the size here because if you want to fix them on wall with decreasing size, you can make them.

Let us first see, how to make a Butterfly. Start with white yarn...

Leaving 6" yarn make chs 12, then skip first ch, sc 1 in 7 chs, ch4, leave 6" yarn and BO.

Join red yarn at first st after ch4, we shall make bigger wing here and smaller wing in next st.

Bigger Wing: (ch6, tr tr 1, db tr 3 in the same st, ch5 sl st in the same st). Then make sl st in next st for smaller wing.

Smaller Wing: (ch5, db tr 3 in the same st, ch5 sl st in the same st) 

From back side make ch2 and get the working loop out at the second st from ch4 on other side. Now I have to make smaller wing first and then bigger wing that too in reverse order.

Smaller wing: (ch5, db tr 3, ch5, sl st all in the same st), sl st in first st from white ch4.

Bigger wing: (ch5, db tr 3, tr tr 1, ch 6, sl st all in the same st), BO. 

If you want to attach beads then leave some yarn end and sew beads.

Lastly hide the white yarn by tapestry needle.

RAKHI: For Rakhi only I have to make additional cords to tie on both sides. So I made chs 40-50 and then 3dc-puff or you can also have beads at the ends.

Crochet Garland Type 8, Flowers on Leaves

 

Hello friends,

Festival season about to start in India. So let's make this beautiful Garland for Ganeshji, Kanha or any idol or any frame. This is totally different Garland. Most of the garlands we made are of flowers but this is first time we are making garland on Leaf Based.

It's length is 15" + cord as long as you wish. I used 3.5 mm crochet hook for leaves and 2.5 mm for flowers (as I need small flowers). Yarn used red Heart.

PATTERN: 

CORD: With green yarn make ch4, 3dc-puff in first ch, chs 50 for cord to tie the garland.

LEAF: ch 15, [form second ch make sl st1, sc1, hdc1, dc1, extended dc 1, tr3, 

ext dc 1, dc1, hdc1, sc1, sl st in last ch, TURN, 

get working yarn behind, from other side sc1, hdc1, dc1, ext dc1, tr3, 

ext dc1, dc1, hdc1, sc1, sl st in opposite side's st]. (One leaf complete). 

Ch 15 and repeat [ to ] to make second leaf (one ch remains unworked).

Go on making leaves as much as you want the length of Garland when made doubled. I made 8 leaves.

Lastly make  chs 50+4. Then 3dc-puff in 4th ch from hook, BO.

Now join green yarn at the sl st of first leaf. Go on making sl sts from the middle of leaf, ch1, then repeat for next leaf. By this we get better look, as well as leaves are not twisted.

Then join the yarn at centre (4 leaves on both sides) and the make one leaf as a centre of the garland.

FLOWER: With red yarn and 2.5 mm hook. In a magic loop (make ch2, incomplete dc, YO, pass through both of them, ch1-picot by sl st, ch2, sl st in magic loop) one petal made. Repeat and make 6 petals, BO.

Where to sew the flower, is your choice. You can sew at the centre on the leaf or you can sew at the jount of two leaves. You can have bead at the centre of each flower or you can also have bead at  plathe joint of leaves and flower at centre of leaf.

The beautiful and different garland is here.
