 Wanted to do some chicken kari embroidery on something.i had spare malmal dupatta on which I have done some tast stitches.i sewed a kurta from it for summer and it was perfect for chicken kari as this type of embroidery looks great on sheer fabric.l have used Anchor pearl cotton for it and white on white.

Table or chair socks


 For chair or table socks to be thick and dense a smaller size hook is used as recommended for the yarn. 

Here with 8ply yarn 3.25mm hook is used insteadof 5.5mm hook.a magic circle is made and 7 single crochet (sc) in the magic circle.

This pattern is crocheted in spiral.
2nd row:make 2 sc in each stitch.then we get 14 sc.
3rd row:1sc in first stitch and 2 sc in next stitch.repeat till the end.we get 21 sc.

4th row:1 sc in first stitch and 2sc in the second stitch.repeat.we get 31 sc.

5th row:now we have made enough stitches for the base.from here we make 1sc  in first stitch 1 chain then 1sc in the third stitch.repeat this pattern till we


reach the required length.then slip stitch in next stitch and fasten off.
