Notes
Knit from the center out and attached to a discount store child sized hula hoop.
To attach to the hula hoop, remove any decorative shrink wrap and undo the connection holding the tube into a circle, making sure to retain the connector. Insert the tube through the crochet bind off, from front to back, working counter clockwise. Once all loops are on the hoop, replace the connector and if desired cover join with tape.

Alternatively, use thread and appropriate sized needles for a more conventionally sized doily.
