The finished doily measures about 28 inches in diameter at the wides points, using a size 8 steel crochet hook and #10 crochet cotton. The doily is worked in three colors at the same time. This doily uses a combination of Tapestry Crochet and Popcorn Filet. All special stitches are included in the directions. Also included in the directions are instructions for carrying the unused thread up through the rows, which allows you to work the entire doily without having to cut the thread each time there is a color change.
