Crochet Round Doily

Materials:

Yarn: 100% cotton, DK weight (approx. 50g)
Hook: 3.5 mm (E/4)
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

The gauge is not crucial for this project, but to achieve a consistent look, aim for 6 double crochets (dc) and 4 rows = 2 inches. Measure by making a small swatch of double crochet, counting the stitches and rows to measure your gauge accurately.

Abbreviations Explained:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
sp: space

Pattern Instructions:

Round 1: Start with a magic ring (or ch 4 and join to form a ring). Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then make 11 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (Total: 12 dc)

Round 2: Ch 3, dc in the same stitch. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in the following st; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (Total: 18 dc)

Round 3: Ch 3, dc in the same st. *1 dc in the next st, 2 dc in the following st; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (Total: 27 dc)

Round 4: Ch 3, dc in the same st. *1 dc in the next 2 sts, 2 dc in the following st; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (Total: 36 dc)

Round 5: Ch 3, dc in the same st. *1 dc in the next 3 sts, 2 dc in the following st; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (Total: 45 dc)

Round 6: Ch 1, (this round will create the lace pattern). In the same stitch, make a dc, then ch 2. *Skip 2 sts, make 1 dc in the next st, then ch 2; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the beginning ch 1. (Total: 15 ch-2 spaces)

Round 7: *In the first ch-2 space, make 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc (this creates a shell). Move to the next ch-2 space and repeat. Continue this around and join with a sl st to complete the round. (Total: 15 shells)

Finishing:

To finish, fasten off and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. You may lightly block your doily by wetting it and pinning it to shape on a flat surface. Allow to dry completely before removing pins. This helps to define your lace edges.

Optional Variations:

You can experiment with different weights and colors of yarn to create unique doilies. Try adding beads or using a contrasting color for the last round for added flair!
