Comments: Why this name? Because I do not know the name of these flowers in English :) The border is elaborate, but you can apply another edging if you want an easier pattern (E.g., like that of Filet Doily). Another modification you can do is to make another two flowers in a symmetrical way, and you will have a nice runner.

The sample for this doily is crocheted with FILET #1

Size : 14 x 8 inches (36 x 20 cm)

Material :Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.6 mm (Boye steel #7) ; you can substitute with bedspread size thread or equivalent (but the gauge can slightly vary) you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches : ch, sc, dc, picot = (4 ch, sl st in first ch)

Difficulty: medium/difficult

Directions

Start with 170 ch.

Row 1.Dc in 8th ch from hook (7 chs = 2 ch + dc + 2 ch), *ch 2, sk 2 ch, dc in next ch* Repeat * to * 53 times more: 55 empty squares.

Rows 2-28 . Proceed following the diagram. (If the previous link does not work, click here )

At the end of last row cut thread; join in a corner and crochet the edging

Edge:

1.*[(2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) in corner, 6 ch, sk 2 blocks, *(sc in next dc or ch) 9 times, 6 ch, sk 2 blks, (2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) in next blk, 5 ch* ; Repeat * to * 5 times, sk 2 blocks, (sc in next dc or ch) 9 times, 6 ch, sk 2 blocks, (2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) in corner, 6 ch, repeat * to * 2 times, sk 2 blocks, (sc in next dc or ch) 9 times, 6 ch, skip 2 blocks] ; Repeat [to ] on the other 2 sides; Join with sl st in first st.

2. sl st in corner sp, *(3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc) in corner sp, 6 ch +sk 1 sc, (sc in next sc) 7 times, 4 ch, skip (sc, sp and 2 dc), (3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc) in next sp, 4 ch+ repeat + to + on the side, sk a sc, (sc in next sc) 7 times, 6 ch* Repeat * to * all around; Join with sl st in first st

3. *(dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, (tr, 3 ch, tr) in corner sp, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 6 ch, + sk a sc, (sc in next sc) 5 times, 4 ch, sk a sc, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, (tr, 3 ch, tr) in next sp, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 4 ch+ Repeat + to + along the side, sk a sc, (sc in next sc) 5 times, 6 ch* Repeat * to * all around; Join with sl st in first st.

4. *(dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, sk a sp, sk tr, ( 3 tr, 3 ch, 3 tr) in corner sp, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 5 ch , +sk a sc, (sc in next sc) 3 times, 3 ch, sk a sc, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, (3 tr, 3 ch, 3 tr) in next sp, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch+ Repeat + to + along the side, sk a sc, (sc in next sc) 3 times, 5 ch* Repeat * to * all around; Join with sl st in first st..

5 *[ (dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, sk a tr, (tr in next tr) 2 times, ch, picot, ch, (2 tr, ch, picot, ch, 2 tr) in next 3-ch sp, (ch, picot, ch, tr) in next 2 tr, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times], 5 ch, + sk a sc, sc in next sc, 3 ch, (dc in next dc) 3 times, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, repeat [ to ] 1 time, 3 ch + ; Repeat + to + along the side, sk a sc, sc in next sc, 5 ch* Repeat * to * all around; Join with sl st in first st. Cut thread.

N.B. Substitute first dc with 3 ch; for a filet primer, with increase and decrease explanations, go here

N.B.

• Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
• first sc with 1 ch, sc;
• first hdc with 2 ch;
• first dc with 3 ch;
• first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
