1. Necessary Materials
To create this beautiful and elegant thalposh, you will need:
- Yarn: 3-ply thread in two colors:
- Color A: For the main base of the thalposh (e.g., green in the video).
- Color B: For the border and detailing (e.g., contrasting colors like yellow or white).
- Crochet Hook:
- 3.0 mm crochet hook (for smaller, tighter details).
- 3.5 mm crochet hook (for larger, slightly looser detailing).
- Scissors: To cut the thread.
- Tapestry Needle: To weave in the ends neatly after completing the project.
2. Gauge and Measurements
- Gauge is based on the hook size and yarn tension.
- Suggested Gauge: With 3.5 mm hook and 3 ply yarn, 10 rounds = approximately 6 inches in diameter.
- Finished Size: The completed thalposh from the video is around 12–15 inches based on the number of rounds (customizable).
3. Special Crochet Techniques Used
- Magic Ring (MR): This technique forms a closed, adjustable loop at the center of the piece.
- Single Crochet (sc): A tight, simple crochet stitch for neat edges.
- Double Crochet (dc): A taller stitch that forms the majority of the base design.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and create a seamless look.
- Change of Color: Switching threads mid project for decorative contrast.
4. Pattern Instructions
This pattern consists of three main sections:
- Center Base Pattern
- Border Detailing
- Final Petal/Floral Like Edging
Instructions
Center Base Pattern
ROUND 1:
- Create a Magic Ring (MR).
- Make 3 chains (ch); this counts as 1 double crochet (dc).
- Work 11 dc into the MR.
- Close the MR by pulling the loose end tightly to close the center.
- Slip stitch (sl st) into the top chain of the starting 3 chains to close the round.
- Total stitches in Round 1: 12 dc.
ROUND 2:
- Chain 3 at the start (counts as 1 dc).
- Work 1 dc in the same stitch (increase).
- Work 2 dc in every stitch around.

- Total stitches in Round 2: 24 dc.
ROUND 3:
- Chain 3 at the start.
- Work 1 dc in the same stitch.
- Work 1 dc in the next stitch, then 2 dc in the next stitch (increase).
- Repeat across the round: 1 dc, 2 dc.
- Slip stitch to join.
- Total stitches in Round 3: 36 dc.
ROUNDS 4 TO 8 (Increasing Rounds)
- Each round begins with 3 chains (counts as 1 dc).
- Gradually increase the number of single stitches between increases. For example:
- Round 4: 2 dc, 2 dc in the next stitch → Total: 48 stitches.

- Chain 1.
- Work 1 sc in each stitch around the entire edge.
- Slip stitch to the first sc to close the round.
Final Petal/Floral Like Edging (Color B)
ROUND 10:
- Chain 2 (creates a gap for petals).
- Skip 1 stitch.
- In the next stitch, work 7 dc into the same stitch (forms a petal).
- Skip 1 stitch.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch to secure the petal.
- Repeat around the entire circle: ch 2, skip 1 st, 7 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st into the next st.

When you reach the end of the round:
- Join the final petal with a slip stitch to the base of the first petal.
- Cut the thread, pull through, and weave in the ends with a tapestry needle.

5. Customization Ideas to Enhance Experience
- Color Variations: Experiment with vibrant color combinations or gradients for the petals to suit your home decor.
- Thread Type: For more durability, use cotton yarn instead of acrylic.
- Size Customization:
- For a small table coaster, stop at Round 6 or 7.
- For a larger thalposh, continue adding rounds in the base with the same increasing pattern.
- Adding Beads: You can place decorative beads on the petals to make the thalposh unique.
6. Tips for Best Results
- Keep your tension consistent to achieve a flat, round shape.
- Use a larger hook size (4.0 mm) when creating the petals if they appear too tight.
- Starch the final piece lightly to make it stiff and more decorative for festivals or special occasions.
