Love this doily, it’s actually one hour project
Beautiful pattern!! I’m making this
What doesch picot in row ten mean
Chain 3 and slip stitch in the 1st stitch,of the chain Some people slip.stitch into the same base stitch. A picot makes a tiny loop.
Is there a link to the video tutorial? I am having trouble with figuring out where to join my rounds.
on the top of the chain where you started the row is where you join with a slip stitch.
Where is the video tutorial that goes with this pattern? I would like to watch one about row eight so I know that I’m understanding this part right.
The edges are different on these two doilies but instructions seem to be for the one without the pivot boarder.
In row 5 it says to dc into ch3 space of row 4, but there are no chai 3 spaces on row 4.
Like it but how can I make it bigger
This pattern was very hard to follow and I could not find a video of it. Disappointed. But it was my first one, so maybe my next try will be better. Will use thinner yarn and hope it lays flat.
This is beautiful. I’m going to try it. It doesn’t look that hard to do. That’s what I’m looking for. Thanks for sharing this pattern with me.
Very hard to follow.Thank goodness for the picture of the doily or I would not have figured it out. Took a lot of pulling out and trying again.
