Crochet Table Mat, Leaf Shaped Doily with Beautiful Border

 

Hello friends,

This is my creation in last week. It's Leaf shaped table mat with beautiful border. This time I have choosen Peacock feather colour scheme and I like that combination.

I use Vardhamaan Millenium yarn and 3.5 mm hook. It's length 20", width 14.5" and weight 115 gm.

Pattern: Make a ring of ch5.

R1: In the ring above (dc6, ch2) 2 times, cl.

R2: (dc2 on each st and V in ch2-sp) 2 times, cl.

Means we have 14 st in between two ch2-spaces.

R3: sl st, [(dc2 in next dc-st, ch2, skip 2 sts) 4 times, (dc2, ch3, dc2) called shell, at corner, ch2] 2 times, cl.

R4: [(dc1 on dc-st, dc2 in next dc-st, ch2) 4 times, dc1 on each dc-st, shell at corner] 2 times, cl.

  
R5: R6: ... are same as R4 means [(increase 1 dc before ch2-sp) 4 times, dc on each dc-st till corner then shell in corner's ch3-sp] 2 times, cl

Repeat till there are 11 dc-sts in 4 groups on both sides and 20 dc-sts before corner's ch2-sp.

Next round: dc1 in each dc-st, dc2 in each ch2-sp, dc 4 at corners ch3-sp, cl.

There will be 44+10+40+4=98 sts on one side and 98 sts on other side.

Now for BORDER: Join orange yarn at any dc-st.

R1: (dc1, ch1) in each dc, cl. (Total 196 ch1-spaces).

We have 98 ch1-sp on each side. Join blue yarn at any ch1-sp.

R2: (dc2 in ch1-sp, ch2) rep till end, cl. (196 ch2-sp)

Join peacock color at ch2-sp.

R3: (dc8 in ch2-sp, sc1 in next ch2-sp) rep till end, cl.

We have 196 fans (means dc8 groups). Each flower needs 7 fans (5 fans will form 5 petals of flower and 2 fans will be down). We make border of these petals by single crochet and join the petals at proper points.

Last row: Join green yarn at first st of first fan after corner.

This is how we are going to join these fans to form 5 petal flower and 2 petals down the flower. I have made knots with yarn pieces, to show the final look.

BORDER: sc1 in 8 dc-sts, sc1 in the space between two petals one round below.

Make border of 5 petals, join with the first st of first petal, then (make border of 3 petals, join with the space between 5th and 4th petal, then make border of 4 petals, join next sc with  last of the 3 petals down to form second flower) rep till end. Join last flower with the first one as shown.

This is how we are joining first petal of new flower with last petal of previous one.

This is how the beautiful table mat is made. The following video may help you.

CRochet Baby Cardigan with Collar, Baby Sweater for 9 - 12 month

 

Hello friends,

Nearly after a month I am posting on my blog and I really feel sorry for that.

Here is my new creation "Baby Sweater with Collar. Many of my followers requested me to make one collar sweater. So I made this. It's only for 9 to 12 month old baby. Hence I started with chs of length 33 cm. For this I have to make 62 chs.

For 1 yr to 2 yr make chs of length 36 cm

For 2 to 4 yrs make chs of length 38 cm,

For 4 to 6 yrs make chs of length 40 cm

The design I have choosen is quite dense hence it needs more yarn. For this cardigan I need 130 gm Ganga Glowing star sky blue (it's thin yarn) and 40 gm Vardhamaan millenium dark green (it's little bit thick).

Pattern: Make chs 62 + 2 loosely.

R1: hdc 1 in each st from third st. (62 sts) 


Place marker after 8 sts, then after 12 sts, then after 18 sts, then after 12 sts lastly 8 sts remain.

We divide as, 8 front part + 12 sleeve + 18 back + 12 other sleeve+ 8 other front. Means 58 sts + 4 marker st in which we shall make V that is (dc1, ch1, dc1) in one st.

Note that we shall start each row with ch2 turn but will not count them as first dc.

R2: dc 1 in 8 sts  V in next (V means ( dc1, ch1, dc1) in same st), dc 1 in 18 sts, V in next, dc 1 in 18 sts, V in next, dc1 in 18 sts, V next, dc 1 in 8 sts  (66  dc-sts + 4 ch1-spaces)

 
R3: dc 1 in each dc-st and V in each ch1-sp. After this row we have 74 dc-sts+ 4 ch1-sp.

Repeat this row 6 more times.

After each row 8 sts increased. After R4, 82 dc-sts, 4 ch1-sps. After R5: 90 dc-sts, 4 ch1-sps. After R6: 98 dc-sts, 4 ch1-sps. After R7: 106 dc-sts, 4 ch1-sps. After R8: 114 dc-sts, 4 ch1-sps. After R9: 122 dc-sts and 4 ch1-sps.

After R9 we check the distance between second and third corners and it should be equal to the required armhole.

After R9 we have, 16 for front+ 28 sleeve+ 34 for back+ 28 for another sleeve and 16 for other front part.

  

R10: dc1 in 16 sts, dc1 in ch1-sp, ch5, skip 28 sts of sleeve, dc1 in next ch1-sp, dc1 in   34 sts on back side, dc1 in ch1-sp, ch5, skip 28 sts of sleeve, dc1 in last ch1-sp, dc1 in remaining 16 sts.

  

There are 16+1+ 1+ 34+1+1+16 dc-sts, that are 70 sts. For the pattern we need odd sts so we increase one st on back side.

R11: dc17, dc5 in ch5-sp, dc18 sts, (dc2) next, dc1 in 17 sts, dc5 in ch5-sp, dc 17, in all 81 sts.

R12: dc1, (2 fpdc tog on next dc, bpdc on next) rep till end, lastly 2 fpdc togin one and dc1 in last st.

R13: dc1 in each sts.

Repeat R12 and R13, eight more times. (Till height from the top is 11.5")

  

Sleeve: Join yarn on back side near 5dcs in under arm. We work in round.

R1: dc1 in each st, dc2 in dc-space, increase 2 sts near underarm. (42 sts)

R2: dc1, (2 fpdc tog on next dc, bpdc on next) rep till end, cl.

 

R3: dc1 in each st, cl.

R4: same as R2

                                                 

R5: same as R3 only make 3 dc tog in last 3 sts, cl. (2 sts decreased)

Thus decrease 2 sts after each 4 rounds two more times.


Repeat the pattern 9 times as in front side. Lastly we have 36 sts for wrist.

Similarly complete second sleeve.

Lower Border: Join dark color yarn at the lower end.

R1: dc1 in each st.

R2: dc1 in first st (fpdc 1, bpdc1) rep till end, dc 1 in last st.

R3, R4 same as R2.

Similarly make border to sleeves but in round.


 

Then borders of button band and button hole band.

Collar: Skippin four sts of button band join dark yarn in next st.

R1: sc1 in each st with 2sctog two times at each corner, skip last 4 sts. 

Thus 8 sts decreased in first row.

R2: dc2 in first and last st, dc1 in each st between.

R3, R4, R6 same as R2.

R7: sl st in each st till corner, ch2, sl st in ech st, at corner ch2, sl st in remaining sts. BO.

The beautiful cardigan is complete.
