Aakash Kandil - tutorial

Hi friends - when I posted my aaksh kandil , I said I would post the tutorial also.Hence presenting this for your reference.Please note that this is a knitted project.

1. First knit 4 squares .colors can be your choice. I chose , brown, yellow,purple and green.These will be titled into a diamond shape.

2.Create 4 triangles with colors of your choice. I knitted blue,grey,red and lemon yellow.

3. Create  4 I- cords with any colors. This will act as a rope.

Now comes the assembly part. You will need to stitch first the squares and the triangles.
a. one square and a triangle

now attach another set- 2 sets stitched

3 sets stitched

and finally the 4 th set being attached

Now stitch the first square and the last triangle. You will get a round object like this

Now attach the I-cord accordingly. one attached

Now all the 4 I-cords have been attached.

Take the ends of all the 4 I-cords and make a simple knot. This knot can function as an hanger.Now your Aakash kandil is ready to be hung any where you desire.

Hope this tutorial was helpful. This can be created with paper also.
