Hello, please find below my next pattern – lala doily 🙂 Print friendly PDF file can be bought here (it also includes the diagram). Thank you!
Skill level: Intermediate
You will need approximately 60 m of size 10 crochet thread and a 1.25 mm crochet hook. For the best results, I highly recommend blocking the finished doily to define its shape.
Stitch guide (US terms):
ch = chain
yo = yarn over
sl st = slip stitch
dc = double crochet
3dc-cluster = [yo, insert hook in indicated st or space, yo and pull up the loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] x 3 times, yo and draw through all loops on hook
beginning 3dc-cluster = ch 2, [yo, insert hook in same st or space, yo and pull up the loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] x 2 times, yo and draw through all loops on hook
fpsc = front post single crochet
3dtr-cluster = [yo 3 times, insert hook in indicated st or space, yo and pull up the loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook 3 times] x 3 times, yo and draw through all loops on hook
beginning 3dtr-cluster = ch 4, [yo 3 times, insert hook in same st or space, yo and pull up the loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook 3 times] x 2 times, yo and draw through all loops on hook
fpdc = front post double crochet
beginning fpdc = sl st from front to back to front again around indicated st, ch 3
sc = single crochet
ch-3 picot = ch 3, sl st in top of indicated st
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or issues with these stitches. If some stitch is unclear I can make a video tutorial for you. You can also check my YouTube channel, there could be some tutorials already:

Let’s start crocheting!
- ch 5, sl st in first ch to form a ring.
- ch 3 (= first dc), 15 dc in ring, sl st in first dc. (16 dc)
- beginning 3dc-cluster in same st, ch 3, skip next st, [3dc-cluster in next st, ch 3, skip next st] x repeat around, sl st in first cluster. (8 3dc-clusters, 8 spaces)
- ch 1, fpsc around same cluster, 5 dc in next space, [fpsc around next st, 5 dc in next space] x repeat around, sl st in first fpsc. (8 fpsc, 40 dc)
- beginning 3dtr-cluster in same st, ch 4, skip next 2 sts, sl st in next st, ch 4, skip next 2 sts, [3dtr-cluster in next st, ch 4, skip next 2 sts, sl st in next st, ch 4, skip next 2 sts] x repeat around, sl st in first cluster. (8 3dtr-clusters, 16 spaces)
- beginning fpdc around same cluster, ch 9, [fpdc around next cluster, ch 9] x repeat around, sl st in first fpdc. (8 fpdc, 8 spaces)
- ch 1, sc in same st, [ch 3, sc in next space, {ch 3, sc in same space} x 2 times, ch 3, sc in next st] x 7 times, repeat * * once again, sl st in first sc. (32 sc, 32 spaces)
- sl st in next space, ch 3 (= first dc), 4 dc in same space, sc in next space, [5 dc in next space, sc in next space] x repeat around, sl st in first dc. (80 dc, 16 sc)
- sl st in next 2 sts, ch-3 picot, sl st in next 3 sts, [sl st in next 3 sts, ch-3 picot, sl st in next 3 sts] x repeat around. (16 picots)
Fasten off.
