Extension of Small Crochet Doily

 

Hi,

Some times as per need we make small doily as,

I posted this on 13th Sep, https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=doily+with+flower+border

It's diameter is only 8.5" and that I made for placing Ganeshji's idol in Ganesh Festval (as per requirment at that time) But once the festval over, I thought that it should be bigger so that it can be used as Thalposh. So I extended it and made it 16" diameter and 95 gm weight.

Pattern:

Join green yarn at the st before fpdc st, on back side of red flower. Continue the same pattern.

R1: ch3 as first dc, dc1 in same st, (fpdc on fpdc-st, dc 1 on each of the 8 sts, dc 2 on 9th st) repeat till end, cl (note that last 2dcs are made initially)

R2: (dc 1 in 9 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R3: (dc 1 in 10 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R4: (dc 1 in 11 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R5: (dc 1 in 12 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

   

Because we have already done last round of flowers, we know that if we want to make flower on each fpdc-st then there should be 14 sts or 19 sts or 24 sts etc as shown in fig above. But then flowers of two borders will be very close, so we decided to work till there are 19 sts in between two fpdcs.

R6: (dc 1 in 13 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

Join dark green yarn in the st before fpdc-st.

R7: (dc 1 in 14 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R8: (dc 1 in 15 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R9: (dc 1 in 16 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

R10: (dc 1 in 17 sts, dc2 next, fpdc on fpdc) rep till end, cl.

Join yellow yarn at any fpdc-st.

R11: [ (dc1, ch3,dc1) at fpdc-st, ch4, skip 4 sts] rep till end, cl. (48 V-made).

R12: [on the right part of V- made make (dc1, ch3, sc1 at dc-top) 5 times then on left part of V made similarly (dc1, ch3, sc1) 5 times, ch1, sc1 in next V, ch1] 24 times, cl.

 

R13: [(dc1, ch3, sc1) 5 times in the ch3-sp of V made, sc1 in the st below last ch3-picot of same flower, ch3, sc1 in the first ch3-picot of the next flower] rep till end, cl.

Then the beautiful doily of double flower border is ready.
