OVAL DOILY—First Motif … Starting at center, ch 8. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 5, (dc in ring, ch 2) 11 times. Join last ch-2 with sl st in 3rd st of starting chain. 2nd rnd: Ch 4, * 3 tr in next sp, tr in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with 3 tr in last sp. Join with sl st to top of ch-4. 3rd rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next tr, sc in next tr. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc made. 4th rnd: * Ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc. 5th rnd: * Ch 10, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-10 with sl st in dc. 6th rnd: In each ch-10 loop make 6 sc, ch 5 and 6 sc. 7th rnd: Sl st in next 6 sc, sl st in next loop, ch 4 (to count as tr), holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make 2 tr in same loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), * (ch 7, make a 3-tr cluster in same loop) twice; 3-tr cluster in next loop. Repeat from * around, joining last cluster with sl st in tip of first cluster. 8th rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, ch 1, sc in same loop, * ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-10 with sl st in first sc made. Break off.

SECOND MOTIF … Work as for First Motif until 7th rnd is completed. 8th rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, ch 1, sc in same loop, (ch 5, sc in corresponding loop on First Motif, ch 5, sc in next loop on Second Motif) 3 times and complete as for First Motif.

THIRD MOTIF … Work as for First Motif until 7th rnd is completed. 8th rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, ch 1, sc in same loop, ch 5, sc in 3rd loop preceding joining on First Motif, ch 5, sc in next loop on Third Motif, (ch 5, sc in next loop on First Motif, ch 5, sc in next loop on Third Motif) twice; (ch 5, sc in next free loop on Second Motif, ch 5, sc in next loop on Third Motif) 3 times and complete rnd as for First Motif.

FOURTH MOTIF … Work as for First Motif, joining 3 loops of this motif to Second and Third Motifs as before.
   Now work all around outer edges of motifs as follows: 1st rnd: Skip first free loop following any joining, attach thread to next loop, sc in same place, * ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, skipping the loop immediately preceding and the loop immediately following each joining. Join last ch-10 with sl st to first sc. 2nd and 3rd rnds: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, skipping the loop directly above each joining.

RUFFLE ... 1st rnd: Make 10 sc in each loop around. Sl st in first sc. 2nd rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-5 with sl st to first sc. 3rd rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th to 11th rnds incl: Repeat 3rd rnd, making ch-6 loops on 4th, 5th and 6th rnds and having 1 more ch on loops of each following rnd. Break off.

SMALL DOILY … Make motif as for Oval Doily. Do not break off but work all around outer edges as follows: 1st rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 2nd and 3rd rnds: Make ch-10 loops around.

RUFFLE … Work as for Ruffle of Oval Doily. Starch lightly and press.
