Crochet Doily for Sankranti Festival:

Hi friends, In my post on 15 Mar 2018 and 11 Jan 2020, I have written about the Makar Sankranti festival and importance of black colour in that.The colour which is not suppose to wear on any auspicious day but it is mainly worn on this Makar Sankranti festival. That's why I made these two doilies in which specially I used Black colour as a main colour. First fig shows the first doily and second can be seen in my next post. I used Black, Grey and White yarns for this and 3.5 mm crochet hook. It's diameter 12" and weight 60 gm. Pattern: Make a ring of ch4 with white yarn. Always make first dc as ch3. R1: (dc1, ch2) 8 times, cl by sl st in third ch (in first dc).
