Thank you so much for this awesome pattern! this was the first doily i ever made, and the finished project was really something to admire! but for some reason in round 10, i ended up with 22 shells instead of 20? but it doesn’t really matter because my doily still looks great on our living room table! =D

Wanted you to know what a difference your free patterns have made in my crochet life. Just seeing the photos that you have posted of the patterns inspires me to do more and give the items I have made as gifts. The practical items are so appreciated. Keep doing what you are doing and know that what you do matters.

I got started on this instead of the large hipster doily. I searched the web and got the answer for what
“into ring” means, since I had never done this before. It’s working out very nicely with superfine
cotton (about 18 WPI) and 3.5mm hook. We just don’t have 3.25 mm hooks here in Amman, Jordan.

However, on Round 4, after the first ch3, I needed to do 2 dc in next ch-1 sp, in order to have 60 dc at the
end of Round 4. Is that right, or am I off by one? My previous round was correct.

This looks perfect for the superfine yarn that just arrived here. I don’t have a big selection. This is 100% cotton from
Hungary. But I do prefer the 100% cotton from Germany with a slightly silky, shiny hint. But they don’t have many colors to choose from. Maybe more now as Spring/Summer is coming.

The pattern reminds me of the large lace rounds that I saw hanging in windows in Switzerland 3 years ago. I regretted not finding out where they were sold. They were probably 10 inches in diameter. Now I see your link for a 10 inch.

I must try your pattern if I can find the 3.25 mm hook. I haven’t found many yarn/crochet stores here, but will keep asking around.

Hi Jo Annie.

I’ll try and work up an extension to the pattern for you. It might be a few days but I’ll give it a try and either post it on this pattern or I can email it to you. I’ll see if Rachel would be ok with me making an addition to the pattern first.

Thanks

Erin

I did change to a larger hook and I did try repeating the patter starting at row six but the doily started curling, I tried doing 12 DCs instead of 9 DCs in round 7 but that did not work either.

I guess I’m stuck with the pattern as is. ={

Hi Joannie,

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. Depending on how much further you want to increase the rounds, you could probably continue to repeat the outer part of the pattern, starting on on Round 6. You’ll obviously have to change it around a bit to match the number of stitches with the pattern, but it should work well.

Thanks for your interest and your comments.
