Crochet Doily with Flower Border: Aasan 10 for Ganeshji

 

Hi friends,

This is the last, out of ten Ganapati Aasans (small rug to put Ganesh idol). In all these doilies the common things are 1. they are small in size and 2. with simple central part they have beautiful borders.

Here also middle part is too simple just by seeing it you can guase the pattern. 

I used 4 ply yarns and 1.75 mm crochet hook. Its diameter is 8.5" and weight is 25 gm (15 gm green yarn and 10 gm red).

R1: In a magic loop dc12, cl (12 sts)

Note: first dc means always ch3.

R2: (dc 1 in dc-st, fpdc around dc) 12 times, cl (24 sts).

R3: [dc 1 in 2 sts, (one dc-st and second fpdc-st), fpdc around fpdc] 12 times, cl (36 sts).

R4: (dc1 in 3 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (48 sts)

R5: (dc1 in 4 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (60 sts)

R6: (dc1 in 5 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (72 sts)

R7: (dc 1 in 6 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (84 sts)

R8: (dc1 in 7 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (96 sts)

R9: (dc1 in 8 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (108 sts)

R10: (dc1 in 9 sts, fpdc on fpdc) 12 times, cl (120 sts).

R11: With red yarn, [V at fpdc-st {V means (dc 1, ch3, dc1) in same st}, ch4, skip 4 sts, V on next (this V will be on the middle st out of 9 dc-sts), ch4, skip 4 sts] 12 times, cl (24 Vs made).

R12: [On right arm of V make, (dc1, ch3, sc 1 at the top on dc) 5 times then on left arm of V make, (dc1, ch3, sc 1 at the top on dc) 5 times, ch1, sc 1 in ch3-sp of next V, ch1] 12 times, make ch3, sc 1 in the very first dc of round 12.

R13:[ In the upper part of V, that is on ch3-sp make, (dc1, ch3, sc 1 at the top on dc) 5 times, join by sc 1 on the st after last ch3-picot, ch3, sc 1 on the st before picot of nest flower] 12 times, cl.

After completeing the round it will look as in fig 1.
