Steel Crochet Hook No. 10 or 11.

This amount is sufficient for a set consisting of 1 large doily about 10 x 15 inches and 2 small doilies each about 10 inches in diameter.

Small Doily (Make 2) … Starting at center ch 10. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 1, 16 sc in ring. Sl st in 1st sc made. 2nd rnd: Ch 4 (to count as 1 tr), tr in same place as sl st, 2 tr in each sc around (32 tr). Sl st in top st of starting chain. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook, make tr in next 2 sts, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (3-tr cluster made); * ch 9, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in same place as last tr, tr in each of next 2 sts, complete a 3-tr cluster as before. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-9 with sl st in tip of 1st cluster. 4th rnd: Sl st to center of loop, ch 13, * in center st of next loop make tr, ch 5, sc in 4th ch from hook (p made), ch 1 and tr, ch 9. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 1, p, ch 1, sl st in 4th st of ch-13. 5th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 15, * in center st of next ch-9 make tr, ch 1, p, ch 1 and tr, ch 11. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 17, * in center st of next ch-11 make tr, ch 1, p, ch 1 and tr, ch 13. Repeat from * around. Join.

     7th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 1, sc in same loop, * ch 15, sc in center st of next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in 1st sc made. 8th rnd: Ch 1, 9 sc in loop, * ch 8, tr tr in 8th ch from hook, ch 5, sc in tr tr, ch 7, sc in same place where tr tr was made, 9 sc in same loop, 9 sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Sl st in 1st sc made. 9th rnd: Sl st in next 3 sc, ch 9, * in ch-5 ring make (a 3-d tr cluster, ch 5) 5 times; skip 5 sc on 2nd half of loop, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in next sc, skip 3 sc of next loop, tr in next sc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join last tr with sl st in 4th st of ch-9. 10th rnd: Ch 6, * skip next cluster, sc in center st of next loop, ch 5, in tip of next cluster make a 3-d tr cluster, ch 5 and 3-d tr cluster; in tip of next cluster make three 3-d tr clusters with ch-5 between, in tip of next cluster make 3-d tr cluster, ch 5 and 3-d tr cluster; ch 5, sc in center st of next loop, ch 3, dc in tip of the joined tr, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 with sl st to 3rd st of ch-6. 11th rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, the sc and in the following 2 ch, 3 sc in same loop, * in each of next 4 loops make 5 sc, ch 3 and 5 sc; 3 sc in next loop, skip next 2 ch-3 sps, 3 sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to 1st sc made. Fasten off.

Large Doily … Starting at center, ch 61 (to measure about 4¾ inches). 1st rnd: 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 5 sc in last ch. Now, working along opposite side of foundation chain, make sc in each st across, ending with 2 sc in same place where first 3 sc were made. Join with sl st in 1st sc. 2nd rnd: Ch 4, 2 tr in same place as sl st, 2 tr in each of next 3 sc, (ch 2, skip 2 sc, tr in next sc) 18 times; ch 2, skip next 2 sc, 2 tr in each of next 3 sc, 3 tr in next sc, 2 tr in each of next 3 sc, (ch 2, skip 2 sc, tr in next sc) 18 times; ch 2, skip next 2 sc, 2 tr in each of last 3 sc. Join with sl st in top st of ch-4. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in next 2 sts, complete a 3-tr cluster, (ch 9, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in same place as last tr, tr in each of next 2 sts, complete a 3-tr cluster) 3 times; ch 9, cluster in next sp, ch 9, (cluster in next sp, ch 5, skip 1 sp, sc in next sp, ch 5, skip next sp, cluster in next sp, ch 9, skip 1 sp) twice; cluster in next sp, ch 5, skip 1 sp, sc in next sp, ch 5, skip 1 sp, cluster in next sp, ch 9, cluster in next space, ch 9, make a 3-tr cluster over next 3 tr, make 6 more clusters with ch-9 between, having 1st tr of each cluster in same place as last tr of pre­vious cluster, ch 9, cluster in next sp and work to correspond with other side, joining last ch-9 with sl st in tip of 1st cluster made. 4th to 8th rnds incl: Work exactly as for Small Doily. 9th rnd: Sl st in next 3 sc, ch 9, * in ch-5 ring make five 3-tr clusters with ch 5 between, ch 5, skip 5 sc on 2nd half of loop, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in next sc, skip 3 sc of next loop, tr in next sc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, ch 5. Repeat from * 2 more times. Hold the next two ch-5 rings together and work the five 3-tr clusters over both of them. Continue thus around, working over two ch-5 rings on opposite side of doily. Join last ch-9 with sl st in 4th st of ch-9. 10th and 11th rnds: Work exactly as for Small Doily. Fasten off.
