CHAKRAS – make 7
Work in rounds to make 7 circles in each chakra colour:
Round 1: ch 2, 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook
Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (16)
Round 3: (1 sc, 2 sc in next st) repeat around (24)
Round 4: (1 sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st) repeat around (32). sl st and fasten off
Round 5: Attach the secondary colour (orange or white) into the back post of the same st. Single crochet in back posts only around (32). sl st and fasten off.
Round 6: Attach third colour (earthy tone or yellow-orange) in the back post of the same st. Single crochet in back posts only around (32)
TRIM
Round 7: Attach light Blue or colour of choice to the base/root chakra circle in the back post of round 6. Work 26 sc in the back posts around leaving 6 unworked stitches. (Chain 10. sc in three back post st of the next chakra circle) repeat for chakras 3-6. Chain 10. Back post sc into the 7th chakra circle and continue around completing 26 sc and leaving 6 unworked stitches. (Chain 10, backpost sc in 3 st of next chakra) repeat until all the chakras are attacked. chain 10 and sl st into beginning st of the root chakra
NOTE – ensure your circles will be straight by centering your 3 st on both sides, leaving the same number of unworked st on both sides. I eyeballed it when I did mine and the result is a bit off centered.
Round 8: working regular loops now: sc in each next 26 st. At the chain 10 space, sc 10 (around the entire ch, not the loops), sc in next 3 stitches. Continue around working sc into sc st and 10 sc into ch 10 spaces.
BOTTOM DECORATION:
Fasten off and reattach at the bottom corner or sl st until you are at the bottom corner.
You will now be working in Rows to create the bottom decoration:
Row 1: Ch 5, skip 1 st, tr cr in next st, ch 12, skip 7 st. triple crochet in next st, chain 5, skip one st, single crochet in next st, slip st, ch 1 and turn
Row 2: In ch 5 sp: 2 sc, 2 half db cr, 1 sc. Sc in tr cr st. In chain 12 space: sc, half db cr, 2 db cr, 3 tr cr, 2 db cr, half db cr, 1 sc. Sc in tr cr st. In ch 5 space: sc. 2 half db, 2 sc. Sl st, Fasten off and sew in the end.
TOP:
Attach light blue to the top blue chakra at the beginning of the join.
Row 1: sc in next 12 st, ch 4, skip one st, sc in each next of 12, sl st and fasten off. sew in the ends.
FINISHING:
Use dark blue or colour of choice to sew the beads. The red bead will hang below the light blue decoration. Thread the yarn behind the red circle coming out the top st of the earthy tone, slide on the orange bead, thread behind and come out earthy tone of the top of the orange chakra and thread on the yellow bead (continue to top). If you chose, thread the yarn to create a bow in the top charkra as I did.
HANGING:
I used an adhesive wall hook to hang my chakras from the top ch 4 space. In order to keep it flush to the wall, I also added some adhesive tape to the the back of every other circle.
ENJOY!!
