Materials used : Today I’ve used some local Indian polyester silk thread with a 1.3 mm crochet hook

For Indians : You could use Anchor , Red ros e ; Red rose metallic or unbranded knitting cotton as well

General yarn info : Today’s yarn is not specific for this pattern.

For this project, use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.

Difficulty level : Intermediate

Stitches used : Using U.S terminology

Starting slip knot : https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw

Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs

How to work a picot stitch : Traditionally for a ch-3 picot, you work (ch 3, sl-st in 3^rd ch from hook). For a ch-5 picot, you will do (ch 5, sl-st in 5^th ch from hook).

Here’s a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s

Instruction information Using U.S terminology

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.

Please read through all my detailed notes before you pick up your hook.

This helps you get an idea of what we’re creating and what notes / videos to look out for.

You can make this doily all in one color or change colors as you desire.

I am not indicating color changes as that’s your creativity.

Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.

Double crochet 3-tog : dc 3-tog : Here is an easy video tutorial at https://youtu.be/qlnqXDB3OUM

Round 3 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-5 sp,

(dc 3-tog ; ch 3, dc 3-tog) all in the same 1^st ch-5 sp ;

*ch 3, rep (to) in the next ch-5 sp* ;

rep *to* in each ch-5 sp around ;

Join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 4 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-3 sp,

5 dc in the same 1^st ch-3 sp ;

*ch 1, 5 dc in the next ch-3 sp* ;

rep *to* in each ch-5 sp around ;

ch 1, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 5 : sc in the 1^st ch-1 sp,

(ch 5, sk 5 dc, sc in the next ch-1 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

Join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

The following round is a little bit complicated.

We work something like a “V”-st using dc 2-tog stitches worked over 2 sc and ignoring ch-5 sps in between.

Double crochet 2-tog : dc 2-tog : [yo, insert hk in st or ch-sp, yo and pull up a lp ; yo and draw through 2 lps] 2 times (3 lps on hk) ;

{yo, draw through 2 lps on hk} 2 times. One dc 2-tog made.

This video tutorial at https://youtu.be/1_oPlUfN5eg shows you how to use the dc 2-tog to decrease.

Sometimes we work the dc 2-tog in the same stitch, to use as a decorative stitch.

Round 6 : dc 2-tog in the 1^st sc ;

sk next ch-5 sp, dc 2-tog in the next sc ;

*ch 7, dc 2-tog in the next sc ;

sk next ch-5 sp, dc 2-tog in the next sc* ;

rep *to* all around ;

ch 7 and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

In our last round, we can opt to finish with a picot.

So you will work the same pattern as for Round 7, but we add the picot as you end. The ch-3 stitch then is (ch 1 + picot + ch 1) in between the dc 3-tog sets all the way around.

Here is a video to show you how to work a ch-3 or a ch-5 picot.

ch 3, rep (to) in the next ch-7 sp* ;
