Crochet Prayer Rug (Puja Aasan 3), Chowki for Puja

 

Hello friends,

This is the third prayer rug in Interlock stitch. In this stitch the rows overlap each other half the way and that why it becoems thick which is very beneficial to the Prayer rug or baby blanket. Moreover it has no holes hence it is best for making the bag. I had already posted one card holder using this stitch, on 21st June 2021.

There I had explained the stitch in details.

This prayer rug is 17" x 17" and it's weight is 125 gm.

PATTERN: With white make chs equals to multiple of 6 + 3. Here I made 81 (=78+3) chs.

R1: dc1 in 4th and 5th ch, (ch3, skip 3 sts, dc1 in next 3 sts) rep till end. Don't cut the yarn.

R2: Join red yarn, ch3 turn, make dc 1 in next 3 sts in the below level. Note that ch3 in white are covered by these 3 dcs. dc 3 in skipped 3 sts of forst row.

R3: Join brown yarn, dc3 turn, dc 1 in 2 white sts (one row below) (taking red ch3 inside), (ch3, dc1 in skipped 3 white sts) rep till end,

R4: with white, ch3 as first dc, (ch3, dc 1 in 3 skipped red stitches) rep till end

Repeat rows 2, 3 and 4 till the required width of the Aasan (prayer rug).

Border: If the last row is ready then make hdc 1 in each st below and sc 1 in each st of previous row with red yarn.

On other side make hdc 2 in each dc. 

On third side make sc 1 on white sts, hdc 1 in red sts which are below. Last side same as opposite side.

Crochet Prayer Rug (Puja Aasan 2), Chowki for Puja

 

Hello friends,

This is second Prayer Rug that I made. It's very simple and beginners can make it. Moreover it looks very pretty.

I had made this in Vardhamaan Magnus yarn which is thick like 6 ply and 3.5 mm hook.

PATTERN: 

Make chs equal to the length 21-22 inches with red yarn. I made 84+6 chs.

R1: dc1 in 6th ch, (ch1, skip 1 st, dc1 in next) till end. (42 ch1-spaces made).

We want to make 6x6 in each colour, moreover same colour at all 4 corners. Hence we have taken odd multiple of 6 (i.e.42)

R2: ch 3+1, (dc1 on dc-st, ch1) rep till end, dc 1 in last dc-st.

Repeat this row till there are 6 rows with red. 

Then make rows with white yarn and again make 6 rows.

Again 6 rows of red, 6 rows of white like this till length and width are same.

Then thread 2 yarns in tapestry needle and pass the yarn through these windows as shown for 6 rows.

 Then thread white yarn for 6 rows then again 6 rows red etc.

Repeat this till all rows covered.
