Crochet Diya Showpiece Two Versions with Petals 5 and 6, Crochet Diya Doily, Tablemat

 

Hello friends,

I have made so many Diya Decors or Diya Show pieces as well as Diya Holders every year for Diwali. This year also I posted number of such decorative items, just search as Diya showpiece, you can find them. This one I made is very very simple and it can be easily made. I made two types of Diya showpieces. One with 5 petals (White in above picture) and other with 6 petals (Reddish). Another use of that 6 petal pattern is that we can make beautiful Doily with that as the top right part of the above picture.

I made this with Ganga Desire yarn and 3.5 mm hook.

PATTERN: Flower with 6 petals,

With Yellow R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl (12). First dc is ch3.

R2: (dc2) in each st, cl (24)

R3: [dc1, (dc2) next] 12 times, cl (36), BO.

Join orange yarn at any st.

R4: ch1, sc1, [ch6, db tr1 in next 2 sts, sc1 in 4 sts] 6 times, cl.

R5: [in ch6-sp make (sc1, dc3, tr3), db tr1 on both db tr-sts, on 6ch-sp on other side make (tr3, dc3, sc1), sc1 in middle 2 sc-sts] 6 times, cl.

R6: [skip first sc-st, sc6, dc3, on the gap between 2db-tr make ( dc3, ch2, dc3), then on other side dc3, sc6, then next petal]6times, cl. BO.

Join red yarn at second sc-st (skip first sc-st)

R7: sc11, in ch2-sp make (sc2, ch1-picot, sc2), then on other side make sc11, skip last st] 6 times, cl.

Diya: with Red,

R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl (12)

R2: (dc2) in each st, cl (24) 

R3: in back loop only dc1 in each st, increase 1 st at last for better shape (25) cl.

R4: dc1 in each st, increase 1 st at last (26), cl, BO.

Flame: with Yellow,  ch7, then from second ch make 

R1: sc1, hdc1, (dc2), hdc1, sc1, in last ch (sc1, ch3-picot,  sc1), then on other side also sc1, hdc1, (dc2), hdc1, sc1, sl st in last st on opposite side. BO.

Then sew it properly to the Diya.

Sew this Diya at the centre of Flower. Decorate it with beads as shown or as you wish.

The beautiful Diya Showpiece is ready. 

Now if you want to make doily then we have to make such 7 flowers with Diya in each. We shall join two points of second flower with first. When you make second flower then don't complete the last round only make border to 4 petals. Then make sc 1 in 11 sts, sc2 in ch2-sp, join with ch1-picot of first flower as shown in video (just pass the working loop through ch1-picot then sc2 in the same ch2-sp. Then sc1 in 11 sts of other side of petal. Now sc11 of last petal, sc2 in ch2-sp, join with the top of the adjecent petal, sc2 in ch2-sp, sc11, cl, BO. 

Join other flowers also at two points each of central flower. Also join the flower with it's adjecent flower similarly. The beautiful Doily is ready.

Then I also tried for 5 petal flower. For that with Yellow make,

R1: dc15 in magic loop, cl.

R2: (dc2) in each st, cl (30), BO.

Join orange yarn at any st. All rounds exactly same as above (R4 above will be R3 and so on) only repeating 5 times.

R3: ch1, sc1, [ch6, db tr1 in next 2 sts, sc1 in 4 sts] 5 times, cl.

R4: R5: [in ch6-sp make (sc1, dc3, tr3), db tr1 on both db tr-sts, on 6ch-sp on other side make (tr3, dc3, sc1), sc1 in middle 2 sc-sts] 5 times, cl.

R5: [skip first sc-st, sc6, dc3, on the gap between 2db-tr make ( dc3, ch2, dc3), then on other side dc3, sc6, then next petal] 5 times, cl. BO.

Join red yarn at second sc-st (skip first sc-st)

R6: sc11, in ch2-sp make (sc2, ch1-picot, sc2), then on other side make sc11, skip last st] 5 times, cl.

Beautiful 5 petal flower is ready.
