A big, very open doily. It is no difficult... only a little attention to all that spikes.

Size : 42 cm (16.5 inches) diameter

Material: Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.7 mm (US steel #); you can substitute with Cebelia #10 or equivalent ecosse or cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary)

Stitches : ch, sc, dc, tr, cl (cluster = 4 dc closed tog in same sp), trgrp (3 tr closed tog on 3 consecutive stitches), dlp (double loop=12 ch, sl st in 9th ch from hook, 3 ch)

Difficulty: medium.

Start with 10 ch, join with sl st

1. 4 ch, 17 tr in lp, join with sl st to first st. => 18 tr

2. * cl in next tr, 1 ch, tr on next tr, 1 ch *; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st.

3. * sc in cl, 3 ch, sc in tr, 3 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st. =>18 lps

4. sl st in sp, * 5 tr in sp, 12 ch, sk a lp*; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st.

5. sl st in 5th ch of sp, *3 tr in lp (working in 5th, 6th and 7th ch of lp), 18 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st. => 9 lps

6. *trgrp on next 3 tr, 1 ch, 18 tr in next lp, 1 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st.

7. sl st in first tr, *(sc on next tr) 7 times, dlp, sk 2 tr ,(sc on next tr) 7 times, dlp, sk (1 ch, lc, 1 ch)*; Repeat * to * 8 times more, join with sl st to first st.

8. sl st on 5th sc, *4 ch, (8 dc, 5 ch, 8 dc) in dlp, 4 ch, sc in 3rd sc of next grp, 4 ch, , (8 dc, 5 ch, 8 dc) in dlp, 4 ch, sc in 3rd sc of next grp*; Repeat * to * all around, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread.

9. Join thread in 5-ch sp of arrow, *20 ch, sc in next 3-ch sp*; Repeat * to * all around, join with sl st to first st.

10. * (sc in next ch) 20 times, (sc, 3 ch, sc) in next sc*; Repeat * to * all around, join with sl st to first st.

11. sl st in second sc, *(sc on next sc) 7 times, dlp, sk 2 sc ,(sc on next sc) 7 times, sk 2 sc, (2 dc, 3 ch, 2 dc) in 3-ch sp*; Repeat * to * all around, join with sl st to first st

12. *10 ch, (8 dc, picot, 8 dc) in dlp, 10 ch, (sc on next dc) twice, (sc, picot, sc) in 3-ch lp, (sc on next dc) twice*; Repeat * to * all around, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread

N.B.

• Always substitute (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.
