This
is the Passion flower doily by Denise Augostine at http://web.archive.org/web/20031021155032/www.denisecrochets.com/passionflower.html
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.
So
what did I do differently?
My
project finished size
= 10 cm
1)
I
worked a dc 4-tog instead of trc 4-tog in Round 3. Please check the top of this blog for video
tutorials of this stitch.
2) I worked the
pattern till Round 7. At this point my doily was 10 cm, so I worked a final
round to finish
In
my last round I worked a ch-3 picot.
How to work a picot stitch : Here’s
a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s
Last round : sc in the 1st st ;
*ch
2, sc in the next dc ;
(ch
1, sc + picot in the next dc) ;
rep
(to) 2 times ;
ch
1, sc in the next dc ;
ch
2, sc in the next sc ;
rep
*to* all around and 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.
Block
