Here is a very small doily I made as Lakshmiji's Aasan (Rug to sit) for Diwali. It's design is having border of small Panati (Diwali Diya). Hence it is Diwali special small doily. Ofcourse you can make it in bigger size also. It looks beautiful.
You can use it as small Diwali or Sankranti gifts to friends.

Note: Each time we make 3 incomplete db tr in one ch1-sp
(there are 10 ch1-spaces so 30 incomplete db tr will be there, using 5 for one
petal thus 6 petals are made.
