Crochet Big Doily With Diya Border Specially for Diwali

 

Hello friends,

As my previous post in which I have given my new pattern for Samai Rangoli, now I made a Doily specially for Diwali. The beautiful doily with diya border is made as under.

I used Varthamaan Millenium 4 ply yarn, hook 1.75 mm, golden flat sequins and some decorative beads. Initially I started with pink Eyelash yarn, it looks beautiful but due to that the pink petals look down and hence do not look good. Hence later I shifted to Vardhamaan Millenium yarn and make the flower again and then knitted further. So in video you have to accept this change little bit.

Pattern: With dark white yarn in a magic loop make,

R1: dc12, cl 

                                                          

R2: dc2 in each st, cl (24)

Join eyelash yarn at any st.

R3: (dc1 in one st, dc2 next) 12 times, cl. (36)

R4: (dc1 in 2 sts, dc2 in next) 12 times, cl (48)

R5: (dc1 in 3 sts, dc2 in next) 12 times, cl (60); 

Join again white yarn at any st.

R6: hdc 1 in each st, cl (60).

oin Vardhamaan Millenium pink yarn at any st. 

R7: sc1, (ch12, sc1 in each ch starting from second ch.ch4, skip 3 sts, sc1 in next) 15 times, lastly instead of ch3, make ch2, sc1 in first st. cl.

R8: [sc1 in first st, hdc1 next, dc1 in 2 sts, (dc2) next, dc1 in 2 sts, hdc1 in 2 sts, sc1, sl st 1 in last st, ch2, then on other side also make, sl st1, sc1, hdc1 in 2 sts, dc1 in 2 sts, (dc2) in next, dc1 in 2 sts, hdc1, sc1, then sc1 in ch3-sp] rep 15 times, cl.

After this syage I feel that petals are looking down and eyelash yarn part looks up and hence I decided to change this yarn. The pink flower type can be used separately as a Aasan for Mahalaxmi. Then I made same design only in Vardhamaan millenium yarn and not eyelash yarn. 

Join green yarn at any ch2-sp of any petal.

R9: ch1, sc1 in same st, (ch10, sc1 in ch2-sp of next petal) repeat till end, cl.

R10: dc12 in each ch10-sp, cl (180).

R11: dc1 in each st, cl. (180)

R12: same as R11.

Join yellow yarn at any st.

R13: (dc1, ch2, dc1) V in one st, [ch 10, skip 9 sts, V in next] rep till end, cl. (18 Vs made).

R14: ch4, [(tr 7 in ch2-sp of V, tr 7 in left arm (left dc) of V, tr7 in right arm (right dc) of V, cl, ch1, (sc1 in 2 sts, sc2 in next) 7 times, cl, ch4, sc1 at base st of first tr, ch4, sc1 in first ch (out of 10), ch10, sc in first dc of V, ch3] 18 times, cl. (18 diyas made).

Join green yarn at any ch2-sp.

R15: [dc2 in ch4-sp, dc10 in ch10-sp] 18 times, cl (216).

R16: [dc2 in one st, dc11 in next 11 sts] 18 times, cl. (234).

R17: dc1 in each st, cl (234). BO.

Join Zari cord at any st of R11 from wrong side.

R18: Make slip sts around R11.

R19: Outer border: (hdc 1 in 5 sts, ch 4-picot by sc) rep till end, cl.

The beautiful Diwali Doily is ready.
