Celebrate the Festival of Lights with Dawn Finney’s knitted candle and lotus flower display

This year Diwali falls on 1st November, so there’s plenty of time to knit this bright and colourful centrepiece. Featuring a Rangoli-inspired mat, candles to represent the triumph of light over darkness as well as lotus flowers for purity and prosperity, this pretty display will make a stand-out addition to your festive table. Trim each candle with patterned ribbon and nestle battery-operated tealights in the top for a glowing finish.
