Square Doily / Table mat / Ganapati Aasan 4

Hello friends, Here I made a square table mat. Particularly I made this as Ganapati Aasan (Rug to place Ganapati idol. But you can ofcourse use it as a table mat to put flower pot or make big one to cover square table or Chourang. I used 4 ply yarn and 3.5 mm hook. Pattern: Make a ring of ch4. R1:[ (dc3, ch2] 4 times, cl.

R2: sl st till next ch2-sp. [(dc3, ch2, dc3) shell at corner, ch2] 4 times, cl.

R3: sl st till next ch2-sp. [shell st corner, (ch2, dc3) in each ch2-spaces in between] 4 times, cl.

R4, R5 and R6: same as R3 or till it measures 6". (You may have more rounds if you want bigger)

While closing last round don’t make sl st but make ch1, hdc1 at the st where we have to join. Join white yarn in between the 3 dcs in ch2-sp before corner. Don’t cut pink yarn. R7: [sc1 in between first and second dcs, bead on second dc (out of 3 dcs), sc 1 in between second and third dcs, ch4] rep till end, sl.
