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.

Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
I think there is a mistake in the written pattern. It says to do a half double crochet twice, when it is only supposed to be once
Thank you to the Secret Yarnery for this pattern! Can't go wrong with this one, it really is easy and fast to make - I'm on my 2nd one already and plan to do more! You really don't need to look any further if you're looking to make a scarf - you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll have fun making it (I did!) Happy crocheting!
Thank you for writing a pattern that is amazingly easy to follow and help me produce a stunning piece!!
Wow! I can't believe I made this beautiful toran. Well, yes I can since I followed this easy pattern! Again, wow! How fun was this to make! Super-duper easy to make and you can be as creative as you like by choosing colours, placement of colours to form pattern(s), number of leaves, etc. so it truly can be personalized for any occasion! Love the Secret Yarnery patterns and tutorials - thank you so much for your time, efforts, and for sharing your talent with the rest of us in the world!
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
