Creative-Sunday: Crochet a Gajra🌹

(Edited with Fotoplay)
Hey guys 👋
I hope you enjoyed weekend! 💞
As I'm busy in preparation of my first stall, most of the time, what I'm thinking is what to make and what to skip for it. Because I have so much in my mind but it's the end of the semester and schedule is getting tight with assignments and presentations. But offcourse nothing can stop me from what I want to do😉.
Okay Gajra is a predominantly a South Asian thing. It's made with Roses, Jasmine, or other colorful flowers. So today I wanted to try crocheting one.
I went through some tutorials, and found this more helpful: Inspiration

Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Green Yarn 💚
• White Yarn 🤍
• Red Yarn ♥️
  I was so satisfied by the green and red colours, they seemed really fine to me. (I will my other work with this green yarn tomorrow)

Pattern

1. crochet a 102 chains
2. Half double crochet over the back of chain
3. Change colour, chain 2 and 4 double crochets
4. Slip stitch the loop into first dc
5. Chain 2, and slip stitch into the same stitch
6. Slip stitch into the next stitch and repeat into all 100 chains
7. Divide the chains according to number colour variations.
8. Make a knot with green colour at the end of stem and and pass the thread through spaces with the help of tapestry needle.
9. Stretch the thread and it it will gove the final shape to gajra.
10. For making a place to tie, chain 30 on borh sides and slip stitch on back of those chains.

Process

Here I performed step 1 and 2. At first it was looking quite long. But I just went on according to tutorial.

Here I switched the colours. I divided chains into 35 white flowers, then 30 of red flowers and 35 white again.

Here I was almost done with red part, and now it looked small to me.

But when I performed step 8, it gave it good shape and it also got some length.

After step 10 gajra was ready for a photoshoot 🌝

Okay that was all for this creative-sunday.
See you soon
Bye bye 💕
