Instruction information
While
making my 10 cm doilies, I chanced on this chart.
This
is my take on this chart.
Please note that I start all my rounds with a ch 1 turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for a video tutorial on all the stitches needed to make this full project.
Finally please note that I take a lot of trouble trying to make my notes as easy as possible - so do go through all my detailed notes before you pick up your yarn.
My
project finished size
= 10 cm
Start Round 1 : with ch 8 ; join with a sl-st to the
1st st.
Round 2 : dc
in the ch-8 sp ;
*(ch
3, dc in the same ch-8 sp) ;
rep
(to) 10 times ;
ch
3, and join with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Round 3 : (sc
; ch 1 , 3 dc , ch 1, sc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
rep
(to) all around ;
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
In
Round 4, we will work in the “space” between 2 sc.
What
does this mean?
Look at Round 3.
Look at Round 3.
We start and end the (to) with sc, right?
So in each ch-3 sp
there is an sc next to each other, but there’s no st in between.
We
will work our sts for Round 4 in that
“space” between the sc of two adjoining ch-3 sps. Got it?
Round 4 : 2
dc in the 1st sp between sc ;
(ch
4, sk next 2 sc and 3 dc, 2 dc in the next sp) ;
rep
(to) all around ;
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Round 5 : sc
in the 1st 2 dc ;
(sc
; ch 1 , 4 dc , ch 1, sc) all in the next ch-4 sp ;
*sc
in the next 2 dc ; rep (to) in the next ch-4 sp* ;
rep
*to* all around ;
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
In
this round we are only going to work 3 dc in the 2 sc between the flower-like
petals.
What are the flower like petals?
What are the flower like petals?
These are all the sts that were worked (to) in
the ch-4 sp of Round 5.
So rather than
write a confusing instruction, let’s call all these 6 sts the “flower petal”
Round 6 : 3
dc in the 1st sc ;
(ch
4, sk next sc and the next “flower petal”, 3 dc in the next sc)
rep
(to) all around ;
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
In
our last round, we will work a ch-3 picot stitch.
How to work a picot stitch :
In case this video doesn't come on, go to https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s
Round 6 : sc
in the 1st dc ; sc + picot in the next dc ; sc in the next dc ;
*(2
sc in the next ch-4 sp ; sc + picot in the same ch-4 sp ;
2
sc in the same ch-4 sp) ;
[sc
in the next dc ; sc + picot in the next dc ; sc in the next dc]* ;
rep
*to* all around ;
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
And
with this beautiful round of picot all around, we finish our small 10 cm round
doily. Fasten off and weave in ends.
