Materials Needed

1. Crochet Hook:
   • Recommended size 3.5 mm or 4 mm, depending on stitch tension.
2. Yarn:
   • Main Yarn: EuroRoma No. 6 string (large roll, approximately 1.8 kg for eight suplas).
   • Accent Yarn: Golden yarn (Eno Slim 100% Viscose, color code 7577 with a tex of 415).
3. Tapestry Needle:
   • For finishing work like threading and securing loose ends.

Special Features of the Supla

1. Design:
   • The supla is circular with a detailed rim that adds elegance.
   • It includes golden accents for a stunning and customized look.
2. Versatility:
   • The color scheme and finishing touches can be modified to suit personal preferences.
   • Can be part of a set—a complete game of eight supplies can easily be created.
3. Efficiency:
   • Relatively simple to make, with the possibility to complete one or two pieces in a single day.

Level of Difficulty

• Skill Level Required: Beginner to intermediate.
• The project primarily involves basic stitches such as chains, high points (double crochets), and low points (single crochets).
• Creation of a magic ring (starting technique) may be slightly tricky for absolute beginners, but the tutor explains the process clearly.
• Requires attention to tension and measurements for the desired result.

Tutor’s Suggestions and Tips

1. Crochet Hook Recommendation:
   • The instructor recommends using a 3.5 mm crochet hook, as tests showed it resulted in better weaving and a softer finish. A thicker hook may make the fabric too loose or oversized.
   • If your stitching tension is naturally tight, you may need to experiment with a slightly larger needle to make the final result lighter and more flexible.
2. Test Runs:
   • Perform test runs to determine the best needle and tension for the material used.
3. Adjusting Size:
   • Ideal size of the supla is 39–40 cm in diameter. To adjust the size, you can add or reduce rows, repeating certain steps for customization.
4. Finishing:
   • Hiding leftover threads can be done with either a smaller crochet hook or a tapestry needle for a cleaner finish.

Uses of Supla

• Decorative placemats for dining tables.
• Can be gifted as part of a custom crochet set for housewarming or special occasions.
• Perfect for adding a personal touch to table decor during events and holidays.

Step-by-Step Process

Crocheting the Supla Body

1. Start With a Magic Ring:
   • Make a magic ring and crochet 12 high points separated by single chains into the ring.
2. Building the Pattern (Rows 2–12):
   • Progressively add rows of high points (double crochets) organized into increasingly larger blocks. For example:
     • Row 2: 2 high points per space with chains in between.
     • Row 3–12: Gradual expansion of the number of points per block (e.g., blocks of 3, 4, etc.) and chains based on the row number for a widening circular design.
3. Finalizing the Main Body:
   • Rows 10 and 11 repeat the pattern of high points with chains, maintaining consistency.

Creating the Decorative Edge (Rim)

4. Row 13:
   • Begin the decorative edge with low points and chain arches around the supla.
5. Row 14 (Finish the Edge):
   • Crochet eight high points into each chain arch and secure them with a low point.

Final Steps

• Add an additional finishing layer with golden yarn and low points to give it a polished look.
• Use a tapestry needle or smaller crochet hook to hide all the leftover threads neatly.
