Yarn: 100% cotton yarn, weight category 4 (approximately 100 grams).
Hook: 3.5 mm (E) crochet hook.
Scissors.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
sp = space
rnd = round

Pattern Instructions:

Start with a Magic Circle: Create a magic circle to begin your doily. This allows your work to start from the center, which is essential for a circular shape.
Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), then make 11 dc into the magic circle. Pull the tail to close the circle tightly. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3. (12 dc)
Round 2: Ch 3, (dc, ch 1) in the same st as the join, *dc in the next st, (dc, ch 1) in the next st. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3. (12 dc + 12 ch-1 spaces)
Round 3: Ch 3, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the first ch-1 space, *dc in the next dc, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3. (24 dc + 12 ch-1 spaces)
Round 4: Ch 3, (dc, ch 1) in the first st, *dc in the next 2 dc, (dc, ch 1) in the next ch-1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3. (36 dc + 12 ch-1 spaces)
Round 5: Ch 3, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the first ch-1 space, *dc in the next 3 dc, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3. (48 dc + 12 ch-1 spaces)
Rounds 6-7: Repeat Round 4, and then Round 5, until your doily reaches a diameter of about 10 inches.
Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop and tighten. Weave in all ends using the tapestry needle.

Tips:

If your doily curls up, consider blocking it by soaking it in warm water and pinning it flat to dry.
This doily can be made larger by adding more rounds. Simply follow the same pattern in repeating rounds.
