Doily

Comments: This doily tells a long story... I found a doily with roses in my home, it was crocheted from my grandmother (the one that taught crocheting to me); now I have this doily on my buffet, and I designed a doily similar to that; the flowers are completely changed and the doily smaller, but its look remain "vintage".

Size : 20 cm. diameter ( about 8 inches)

Material :Cebelia 10, white; bedspread weight cotton, some red and green; hook 1.5 (US steel 8); you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches :ch, sc, hdc, dc, tr, tcl=tr cluster= 4 tr crocheted in the same st and closed together, sh=shell =(2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) in same sp

Difficulty: medium/difficult

Sew with a little stitch a green petal of a rose to doily in central ch of a sp, and next green petal in next sp, sk a sp and join next rose. Continue sewing all roses.

Edging Round:.

Join White in a sc, 5 ch, sl st between left joined petal of next rose and free petal of the same rose to its left, *(3 ch, sc in central ch of next free petal, 3 ch, sc between same petal and next petal )4 times, sl st in sc between left joined petal of next rose and free petal of the same rose to its left* Repeat *to* for all roses, finish with sl st in first rose. Cut and weave in ends

N.B.

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
• first sc with 1 ch, sc;
• first hdc with 2 ch;
• first dc with 3 ch;
• first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
