Crochet Big Samai Rangoli (for 2 ft Samai)

 

Hello friends,

In India every where is Diwali MAHOL (Diwali atmosphere) hence I made one more Beautiful Doily as Aasan for Mahalaxmi, The Goddess Mahalaxmi is worshipped on the main occassion of Diwali, called LAXMI -PUJAN. The idol of Goddess Laxmi is placed on some Aasan (Rug) and is worshipped. So I made this doily for placing Mahalaxmi Idol on it. Before 2-3 years I made actual Lotus as Mahalaxmi Aasan. This year I have already made one Diya border doily for Mahalaxmi.

This doily given in first photo is the new creation. I also made Samai Rangoli for Big Samai (2ft) with the same design.

For Samai Rangoli I used Bernet yarn (from USA) and same hook.

Pattern Doily: I use Vardhamaan 4 ply yarn and 3,5 mm hook. It's diameter is 17" and weight 98 gm.

R1: with white, make dc 15 in magic loop, cl.

R2: dc2 in each st, cl (30). make a knot but don't cut the yarn.

Join green yarn at any st.

R12: with white yarn, (dc5) in each sc-st, cl. (175)

For further border we need multiple of 11 sts so we make 6 dcs in last sc-st. Hence sts become (176)

Join green yarn in between 2 sc-sts.
