Looking for a crochet project that brings in vibrant, festive vibes for Diwali? Let me help you get started with this stunning crochet toran, guaranteed to brighten any celebration! Even if Diwali isn't on your calendar, these colorful crochet decorations can add beauty to any party or special occasion. The best part? You can adapt it to fit any doorway, making it an incredibly versatile piece.
This DIY crafty journey will take you step-by-step through creating flowers, leaves, and even assembling the toran. So let’s dive in!
Here’s a quick list of everything you’ll need to create your festive crochet toran:
Once you’ve got your supplies ready, let’s move on to creating the individual elements of this beautiful garland.
The marigolds are the star of the toran – bright, textured, and a true symbol of festivity. Here’s how you can create your own crochet marigolds:
Note: If the tail gets short, just tug it to keep it available – you’ll need it for adjusting later!
You can create more or fewer marigolds depending on the size of your doorway or the design you envision.

Next up are the mango leaves, which beautifully complement the marigolds. Here’s how to make them:
Let’s create the caps for your hanging flowers, which give your toran that extra flair.
Once you have enough hanging flowers, you’ll need to assemble them at the top of your marigolds. Tie off these flower groups and secure them to your toran using a key ring, repeating this step for both ends of your toran.
Now it's time to bring everything together into one stunning garland!
This crochet toran for Diwali decorations makes a beautiful statement, and once everything is tied off, you’re ready to display your handiwork proudly!

After everything is assembled, you're almost ready to hang it up! Secure the side pieces properly so nothing is loose, and leave enough time to arrange it just the way you want.
Before you knot off any remaining threads, I recommend trying it out over the doorway first. Get a feel for how everything hangs. If something is uneven, this is your last chance to adjust.
This crochet toran might seem intricate at first but trust me — once you get the hang of it, creating each piece becomes almost therapeutic. Plus, the finished result is stunning and sure to be a hit in all your festive gatherings.

This is a great beginner friendly pattern, very easy to follow. Tutorial video on YouTube to accompany is a great help too! What a wonderful gift idea, thank you for creating it!... Any other cultural deco. patterns/tutorials coming...? Hope so!
The best pattern & tutorial I have ever come across. Loved how you used the needle to clearly point out where the stitch was to go. Have made 3 hats already. Many more on my to do list. Thanks so much
The yarn world is vast & has several yarn naming & grading systems. This chart really helps to get the right weight of yarn, size of needle, gauge & yardage/meterage when using patterns or yarns from other countries. And it covers both knit & crochet. Thank you for putting together this very useful tool, Secret Yarnery.
I love this pattern. Very easy to follow and fun to make.
Glad I found this pattern. I love it.
It was very easy to do. I have already made 4
Great pattern and PERFECT tutorial!
The directions are so clear and easy to follow. I am a beginner and this pattern is really making me feel confident. My first stocking was less than an hour to make (which I went really slow-so it was a surprise it worked up so quickly). I am making them for a group of coworkers and I think they are going to love them! Thank you.
Just finishing up the collar trim and I will be finished. It's only been 2 or 3 days working on it off and on. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a pattern that has no complicated stitch patterns. This one fits the bill but is still a nice looking project. Can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear it. Might be a while here in Louisiana.
I love this hat; it is so easy to make and works up really fast. I used a size 7:00 mm hook. My only concern was I wasn’t sure how many chains to make for the infant and child sizes.
I love this pattern. It follows along with the video perfectly! I have started 2 of them! I couldn't wait to use the yarn I had!
Iii love this hat and want to make them for myc3-5 year old students. Could you i i love this hat. I would like to make them forcmyc3-5 yearvold students. Could you please help me with the sizing needed for t toddlers? Basically hook size, number if chains and rows. I appreciate any help you can provide.Thank you very much
I haven't made the cardigan yet but I watched the video and it looks like an easy made to your size pattern. She goes slow in explaining how to make the cardi. It's different than anything I've made before. I'm looking forward to making it.
Love this pattern. It is very easy to follow and really makes it straight forward. While I am not new to crochet, I am new to following patterns. In the past I have always just 'winged it.' Also like that there is additional information for sizing as well as a video to help me when I get stuck.
Would highly recommend this pattern!
