ROYAL SOCIETY SIX CORD CORDICHET, Size 30, 2 balls of White or Ecru.
Steel Crochet Hook No. 10.
Piece of linen 6 inches in diameter.

Doily measures 13½ inches in diameter.

Roll edge of linen and baste. 1st rnd: Make 272 sc around rolled edge. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 15 sc, * (ch 5, skip 2 sc, sc in next sc) 5 times; ch 5, skip 3 sc, dc in next 16 sc. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in next 11 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next loop) 6 times; ch 5, skip 2 dc, dc in next 12 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 4, tr in next 7 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next loop) 7 times; ch 5, skip 2 dc, tr in next 8 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th rnd: Ch 4, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make tr in next 3 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), * ch 3, 4-tr cluster over next 4 tr, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 8 times; ch 5, cluster over next 4 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Sl st in next loop, ch 6, dc in next loop, * (ch 5, tr in next loop) 7 times; ch 5, dc in next loop, (ch 3, dc in next loop) twice. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of ch-6. 7th rnd: Ch 6, dc in next dc, * (ch 5, tr in tr) twice; ch 5, sc in next tr, ch 5, 5-d tr cluster in same tr, skip next tr, 5-d tr cluster in next tr, ch 5, sl st at base of cluster, (ch 5, tr in next tr) twice; ch 5, dc in next dc, (ch 3, dc in next dc) twice. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 6, * dc in next dc, ch 5, tr in next tr, ch 7, d tr in next tr, 6-d tr cluster in center of previous 2 clusters, (ch 9, 6-d tr cluster in same place) twice; d tr in next tr, ch 7, tr in next tr, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: * Ch 7, skip ch-3 sp, tr in next sp, ch 5, d tr in next sp, (ch 5, in next sp make tr, ch 5 and tr) twice; ch 5, d tr in next sp, ch 5, tr in next sp, ch 7, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 10th rnd: * 9 sc in next loop, 7 sc in next 7 loops, 9 sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: Sl st in next 2 sc, sc in next sc, * (ch 3, skip 1 sc, sc in next sc) 31 times; ch 3, skip 4 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3. Join. 12th rnd: Sl st across first loop, * (sc in next loop, ch 3) 28 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, skip 3 loops. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc. 13th rnd: * Ch 5, skip 1 loop, (sc in next loop, ch 3) 25 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc. 14th rnd: Ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 22 times; ch 7, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 7. Join and break off.
   Now complete scallops individually as follows: 1st row: Skip first ch-3 loop, attach thread to next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 18 times; dc in next loop, turn. 2nd row: Sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 15 times; dc in next loop, turn. 3rd row: Sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 12 times; dc in next loop, turn. 4th row: Sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 10 times. Break off. Work each scallop in this manner.

EDGING … Attach thread to first ch-7 loop between any two scallops, ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make d tr in same loop, (d tr in next loop) twice; thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made); (ch 4, sc in tip of cluster) 3 times (triple picot made); ch 5, sc in same loop as last d tr of cluster was made, * ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make d tr in same loop as last sc was made, (d tr in next free ch-3 loop) twice and complete cluster as before, ch 4, sc in tip of cluster (picot made), ch 5, sc in same loop as last d tr of cluster was made. Repeat from * once more; ** ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make d tr in same loop as last sc was made, skip next loop, d tr in next sc, skip next loop, d tr in next loop, and complete cluster as before, picot, ch 5, sc in same loop as last d tr of cluster was made. Repeat from ** 3 more times; make 2 more picot clusters to correspond with 2nd and 3rd picot clusters made, making last d tr of last picot cluster in next ch-7 loop, ch 5, make a cluster and triple picot as before, and continue thus around. Join and break off.
