Never done something like this before so it took a bit of getting my head round at first. I found it is easier to plot out a crochet chart from the written pattern to then work from, at least up until there were too many stitches to physically fit into a diagram in the last couple of rounds.

Even though the rounds got more complex as I went on, after about 8 rounds I’d got the hang of what I was doing and the it all came naturally.

I can definitely see myself making more doilies as summer projects.

Finished size (after blocking): approx 12”
