Coreopsis Doily Pattern #FD-445

CENTER … Starting at center with Hunter's Green, ch 5. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 15 dc in ring. Join. 2nd rnd: Ch 5, * dc in next dc, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-5. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, * ch 2, dc in next sp, ch 2, 3 dc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th rnd: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 2, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, make 3 dc in next dc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), ch 2, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th and 6th rnds: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in each dc across dc-group, 2 dc in last dc, ch 2, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 2, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, * ch 3, skip next dc, dc in next 4 dc, ch 2, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 2, dc in next 4 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, * ch 5, dc in next 4 dc, ch 2, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 2, dc in next 4 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th and 10th rnds: Work as for 8th rnd, having 2 ch's more between dc-groups on each rnd and keeping ch-2 between dc-groups and clusters. 11th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, * ch 9, dc in next 4 dc, ch 4, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 4, dc in next 4 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th to 20th rnds incl: Work as for 11th rnd hav­ing 1 more ch between clusters and dc-groups and keeping ch-9 between dc-groups.
Now work points individually as follows: 1st row: Ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, ch 9, dc in next 4 dc. Ch 3, turn. 2nd to 9th rows incl: Skip first dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 9, dc in next 3 dc and in top of turning chain. Ch 3, turn. 10th to 13th rows incl: Work as for last row having 2 ch less between dc-groups on each row. 14th row: Skip first dc, dc in next 3 dc, dc in ch, dc in next 3 dc and in top of turning chain. Ch 3, turn. 15th and 16th rows: Skip first dc, dec 1 dc—to dec 1 dc, work off 2 dc as 1 dc—dc in each dc across to within last 2 dc, dec 1 dc. Ch 3, turn. 17th row: Skip first dc, make a 4-dc cluster over next 4 dc. Break off. Attach Green to first dc of next dc-group and work as for first point. Complete other points in same way.

FLOWER (Make 8) … Starting at center with Shaded Lt. Yellows, ch 8. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: 12 sc in ring. Join.

FIRST PETAL … 1st row: Ch 1, 2 sc in each of the next 2 sc. Ch 3, turn. 2nd row: Skip first sc, dc in next 3 sc. Ch 3, turn. 3rd row: 2 dc in first dc, 3 dc in next 2 dc, 3 dc in turning chain. Ch 3, turn. 4th and 5th rows: Skip first dc, dc in each dc across and in top of turning chain. Ch 3, turn. Ch 4, turn at end of 5th row. 6th row: Skip first dc, make a 4-tr cluster over next 4 dc, ch 4, sc in next 2 dc, ch 4, 4-tr cluster over next 4 dc, ch 4, sl st in top of turning chain. Break off. (Right side of cluster row is right side of flower.)
With wrong side facing attach thread to next sc on first rnd and work Second Petal as for First Petal. Make 4 more Petals in same way.

CENTER … With Hunter's Green, ch 6, 2 tr in 6th ch from hook, ch 4, sc in same ch, (ch 4, 2 tr in same ch, ch 4, sc in same ch) 3 times. Break off. Make a Yellow French knot through Center to Flower.

Attach Green to first cluster on any petal, sc in same place, ch 11, sc in next cluster on same Petal, ch 11, sc in first cluster on next Petal, ch 5, sl st in end st of first dc-group on 8th row of any point, ch 5, sc in next cluster on same Petal, ch 5, d tr at base of first dc on first row of same point, ch 5, sc in first cluster on next Petal, ch 5, sl st in tip of next cluster on Center, ch 5, sc in next cluster on same Petal. Complete rnd, joining Flower to next corner and to 8th row on next point as before. Join and break off. Join remaining Flowers to Center in same way.

EDGING ... 1st rnd: Attach Green to tip of cluster on any point, * ch 12, skip next 3 rows, sc in end st of next row, ch 6, skip next 3 rows, d tr in end st of next row, ch 6, sc in first free loop on next Flower, ** ch 6, in next loop make (3-tr cluster, ch 6) 3 times; sc in next loop. Repeat from ** 3 times; ch 6, d tr in end st of 8th row from tip of next point, ch 6, skip next 3 rows, sc in end st of next row, ch 12, sc in tip of cluster at point. Repeat from * around. Join. 2nd rnd: 15 sc in next loop, * 7 sc in each of the next 16 sps, 15 sc in each of the next 2 loops. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.
