Instruction information  Using U.S terminology
Please note that I start all my rounds with a ch 1 turning chain for ease.

Inspired by the chart below, these are my notes while I make my creation.
I used part of this pattern to make a gorgeous dream catcher / sun catcher .. and if you are interested, check here

Note : In this pattern, I have decided to add a bead in the last round.  In case you do, then go ahead and add 24 beads onto your yarn right now (of multiples of 24 if you want more than one bead at each point) OR you could end with a picot instead.

This video tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0y4BbgDTbs shows you how to use the trc 2-tog to decrease 

And this video shows you how to use it a decorative stitch.

In the following round we work a trc 2-tog on the sc between the ch-6 sps ; BUT we work it as a split stitch, with one part of the trc 2-tog in one sc and the 2nd part of the same trc 2-tog in the next sc.
So before we start the round lets visualise this and understand it for easy movement forward. Let's call this our Split trc 2-tog

SPLIT Triple / Treble crochet 2-tog : trc 2-tog :  [yo 3 times around hk, insert hk in 1st sc, yo and pull up a lp ; yo and draw through 2 lps] once more (2 lps on hk) ; rep [to] in the next sc 2 times (4 lps on hk)

{yo, draw through 2 lps on hk} 3 times.  One Split trc 2-tog made.

This stitch will look like a "V" st.

Now if you want a slightly larger doily you may continue increasing rounds or you may decide to finish off in the next round, as I have.
keep increasing as you want
As mentioned at the start, you could either end with a round of beads or a round of picot in the final round.
Round 12 : sl-st into the 1st ch-7 sp ;
(ch 5 + bead + ch 5, sc in the next ch-7 sp)
rep (to) all around ;
ch 5 + bead + ch 5, and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
beaded finish detail

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

Here’s a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s
As we're working a ch-3 picot in the middle of a chain, here's what I'd do.
(Ch 8, sl-st in the 3rd ch from hk ; ch 5 ; sc in the next ch-7 sp).  The ch-8 and then slipping into the 3rd st will give you a ch 5 + ch 3 picot.
Alternate Picot Round 12 : sl-st into the 1st ch-7 sp ;
(ch 5 + picot + ch 5, sc in the next ch-7 sp)
rep (to) all around ;
ch 5 + picot + ch 5, and join to the 1st st with a sl-st

Fasten off and weave in ends.
Block as needed according to yarn instructions.
