India is a land of spice and this pattern is inspired by cardamom, which is “Elchi” in my mother tongue Gujrati, and “Nani” means “small’’ in Gujrati (little one lovingly), so ‘’Nani Elchi’’ means small cardamom, and is dedicated to all the daughters, who indeed are a ‘little flavor’ in our life.

This pattern is a part of Indesco edition 4 - Spices of India

This pattern is worked bottom up, made as a flat bid rectangle and sewn at the back at the end along with a button for closure. It is constructed using star stitch and cross double crochet stitch to form the majority of the body.
