Crochet Lotus Diya Holder 2 or Candle Stand

Hello friends, this is second Diya Holder for Diwali. In the following video, I have also explained that how you can make it in any size or shape you want. In the description box of the video, I have given the link of the video which inspired me to make this Diya holder. I used 4 ply yarn and crochet hook 1.75 mm I made pots of two different shapes, one for vessal in which you can offer TILGUL to your son in law in the Sankranti festival and another different shape for candle holder. For Tilgul vessel, green base is made by increasing till round 9 and for candle stand the white base is made upto round 6 only.

For green height 6 rounds and for white 16 rounds. R1: In a magic loop make ch1, sc 6, cl (6) R2: ch1, dc2 in each st, cl (12) R3: ch1, (dc1 in 1 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (18).

R4: ch1, (dc1 in 2 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (24) R5: ch1, (dc1 in 3 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (30) R6: ch1, (dc1 in 4 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (36)

R7: ch1, (dc1 in 5 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (42) R8: ch1, (dc1 in 6 st, dc2 in next) 6 times, cl (48).

Ch1, TURN, work on wrong side. R9: sl st 1 in each st.

R10:ch1, turn, sc1, in each sl st, cl (48) R11 to R15: ch1, sc 1 in each st, cl, (48).

Check that whether the required height is achieved or not.

R16: ch1, sc1 in back loop of each st, cl (48). BO.

Join red yarn at any st R17: ch1, sc 1 in back loop of same st, (ch2, skip 1 st, sc1 in back loop of next st) rep till end, cl (24 ch2-sp).

R18: [(sc1, hdc1, dc1, ch2-picot dc1, hdc1, sc1) in one ch2-sp, sl st in next ch2-sp] rep 12 times, cl, (12 petals) BO.

If you want you can also make only one round of petals and it will look as,

Join dark colour yarn on the unworked st as shown, R19: same as R17. But note that ch2 st this time should be in between two petals of previous round.

R20: same as R18. But make petal in between two petals of R18 and join in next ch2-sp. BO.

Finally it will look as,

I made two like this one for Tilgul and other for Halawa as Rukhawat item. You can also use them for Haldi Kumkum. Then I made white for Candle stand for Christmas in next month. The following video with English subtitles may help you. ETC: Enjoy the Creativity.
