Crochet Rakhis for Rakshabandhan

Hi! I'm Shivani β the hands (and heart) behind Crochet by Shivani. If you've been following my work for a while, you already know how much I love creating things that feel personal, cozy, and full of meaning. This Rakshabandhan, I decided to do something special β not just for my shop, but for my own brother. I wanted a rakhi that felt more than just decorativeβ¦ something he could feel. So I picked up my yarn, sat with a whole lot of emotions and a hot cup of chai, and crocheted rakhis for him by hand.
Why Choose a Crochet Rakhi?
I didn't want anything flashy, plastic, or factory-made. I wanted a rakhi that he could actually keep, even after the festival β something soft, personal, and filled with intention. So here's why I think you'll love them too:
Eco-Friendly & Reusable β Made with sustainable yarn. Kind to the skin and the environment.
One-of-a-Kind β Each piece is handmade by me, so no two are exactly alike.
Custom Designs Available β Want something specific? Maybe your brother's favorite color, shape, or even an initial? Just let me know β I love customising!
βΉ50 Only β I really wanted to keep them affordable so more people could enjoy something handmade this Rakhi.
Made by Me, From One Sister to Another
I started Crochet by Shivani to turn my passion into something beautiful and shared. When I sat down to make these rakhis, I wasn't thinking about selling them β I was thinking about my brother. And now, I want to offer that same care to you.
To me, this isn't just about tying a thread on someone's wrist. It's about the memories we've built with our siblings β the silly fights, the silent support, the late-night laughs. I tried to wrap all that emotion into every rakhi I crochet.
Whether your brother is your best friend, your biggest teaser, or the one who shows love in the quietest of ways β this rakhi can be your little thank you, your "I love you", your "don't eat all the sweets without me!"
When you buy a rakhi from me, you're not just getting a piece of yarn β you're supporting a small woman-led business, encouraging handmade art, and adding a little more meaning to your celebration.
