Crochet Square Doily 6 with Double Rose Border

Square Table-Mat with Two Layers and Floweral Border:
Fig 1
Hi friends,
This doily I made for the festival Ganeshotsav.
Those who don't know about the Ganeshotsav and how it is celebrated in Maharashtra (state in India), may read this,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesh_Chaturthi
This doily in fig 1, is having two layers and the outer smaller square is not yet attached to the bigger one. Because on bigger square, I have made a Swastik, which is supposed to be the symbol of prosperity in Hindus.
Though I have to face many problems and answer many questions regarding that symbol when I shared  a Mangal Kalasham having this symbol on Coconut, on crochet group "Free crochet patterns" on facebook. Fig 2 will show the two parts separately.
Those who have no special importance about
Fig 2
Fig 3
this swastik symbol, may skip this and work in the same manner as in pattern but with white yarn only. As I have given in fig 3, those shaded puffs are made in red and others white, but if you don't want that swastik you may work all puffs by white yarn.
I used Vardhamaan 4 ply yarn and 3.5 mm crochet hook.
Each puff is made by long stitch, (YO insert in to base st, YO and get two long sts) 3 times, YO and pass through all 7 sts, ch 1 and fix the puff. We call this complete puff.

Fig 5
Row 1: Start with red yarn, ch3 with third st long and make one puff in second ch, ch1, long st, make puff1, join white yarn, similarly make two puffs with white yarn,
Row 2: one more complete red puff. Now make two incomplete white puffs together as,
Make ch 1 long st, (YO insert in to base st, YO and get two long sts) 3 times, (7 sts on hook), (YO insert in the gap between 3rd and 4th puffs made, YO get 2 long sts) 3 times. Now there are 13 sts on hook, YO and pass through all of them, ch1and fix them.

Then make 2 incomplete puffs together, one white and second red, in next st (st means gap between two puffs).
Then (2 white incomplete puffs together) 2 times, fig 4.
Row 3: one complete white puff, turn, 1red, 1 white together, 2red together, 1red, 1 white together and lastly 2 red together. Fig 5.
Row 4: One white complete puff, (2 white incomplete together in next st, 1white, 1 red together in next) twice, fig 6.
Row 5: One complete red puff, 2white incomplete together, 1white, 1 red together, (1red, 1 white together) twice. fig 7. Central swastik completed. Those who don't want to make swastik can work in the same manner but only with white yarn.

Fig 9
Here after we shall work around all the four sides of this 4 x 4 square formed and only with the white yarn.
Round 6: Go on working according to for 8, means  1complete puff, (2 incomplete together in next st) 5 times, here is the corner, at each corner make one complete puff and 2 in complete puffs together,
then repeat doing 2 incomplete puffs together till the corner

comes then repeat again.
Fig 8 and 9.
Work in this way till the required size of the table mat. Here I made it upto 10".
Then make last round similarly only with green yarn. Fig 10.
Lastly the roses:
Join red yarn at corner, ch 2, make (complete puff, ch 1) 3 times, join with the first puff by sl st, ch3, insert the hook at base st from back side and make a sl st, bind off.
(Skip two puffs in a last row and again join red yarn and make a rose) repeat till all sides done.
Now make another small square with white 4x4 as shown in fig 2, then green border to this small piece and rose border as above.
Once the Ganeshotsav over, you can sew it to the bigger piece at the centre.
It looks beautiful as in fig 1.
