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.

Attach tassels on two side. The beautiful prayer rug is here.
