Steel Crochet Hook No. 10.
Doily measures about 8 x 11 inches.

Starting at center, ch 65. 1st rnd: In 5th ch from hook make dc, ch 1 and dc; (ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch) 29 times; ch 1, skip 1 ch, in last ch make 6 dc with ch-1 between. Then, working along opposite side of starting chain, make (ch 1, dc in base of next dc) 29 times; ch 1, in some place as first 2 dc make 3 dc with ch-1 between; ch 1, join with sl st in 3rd st of starting chain (70 sps). 2nd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 4, in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc; (ch 1, dc in next sp) 30 times; (ch 1, in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc; ch 1, dc in next sp) 3 times; (ch 1, dc in next sp) 29 times; ch 1, in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc; ch 1, dc in next sp, ch 1, in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc; ch 1, join with sl st in 3rd st of starting chain (76 sps). 3rd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 8, skip next sp, tr in next sp, (ch 3, skip next sp, tr in next sp) 15 times; ch 4, skip next sp, tr in next sp, (ch 4, tr in next sp) 4 times; ch 4, skip next sp, tr in next sp, (ch 3, skip next sp, tr in next sp) 15 times; ch 4, skip next sp, tr in next sp, (ch 4, tr in next sp) 3 times; ch 4, join with sl st in 4th st of starting chain (42 sps). 4th rnd: Ch 3, dc in each ch and in each tr around (180 sts). Join. 5th rnd: Sl st in next dc, ch 4, skip next dc, dc in next dc, (ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next dc) 34 times; * (ch 1, dc in next dc) twice; ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat from * 4 more times; (ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next dc) 35 times; ** (ch 1, dc in next dc) twice; ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat from ** 3 times; (ch 1, dc in next dc) twice; ch 1 and join (100 sps). 6th rnd: Ch 7, skip next sp, tr in next sp, (ch 3, skip next sp, tr in next sp) 16 times; (ch 3, tr in next sp) twice; (ch 3, skip 1 sp, tr in next sp, ch 3, tr in next sp) 4 times; ch 3, tr in next sp, (ch 3, skip next sp, tr in next sp) 17 times; (ch 3, tr in next sp) 3 times; (ch 3, skip 1 sp, tr in next sp, ch 3, tr in next sp) 4 times; ch 3, tr in next sp, ch 3 and join (58 sps).

   7th rnd: Ch 4, skip next st, dc in next st, (ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st) 37 times; * (ch 1, dc in next st) twice; ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st. Repeat from * 7 more times; (ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st) 40 times; ** (ch 1, dc in next st) twice; ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st. Repeat from ** 7 more times; (ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st) 5 times; ch 1 and join (132 sps). 8th rnd: Ch 3, dc in each sp and in each dc around (264 dc). 9th rnd: Ch 7, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc, (ch 2, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc) 22 times; (ch 3, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc) 19 times; (ch 2, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc) 25 times; (ch 3, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc) 19 times; ch 2, skip 2 dc, d tr in next dc, ch 2 and join (88 sps). Break off. 10th rnd: Attach thread in center sp at one end of piece, ch 12, * (skip next sp, cluster in next sp, ch 7) 3 times—to make a cluster, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make 5 d tr in same sp, thread over and draw through all loops on hook. Skip next sp, in next sp make d tr, ch 6 and d tr, (ch 6, skip next sp, cluster in next sp) 3 times; ch 6, skip 2 sps, in next sp make d tr, ch 6 and d tr; ch 6, skip 2 sps, (cluster in next sp, ch 6, skip next sp) twice; cluster in next sp, ch 6, skip 2 sps, in next sp make d tr, ch 6 and d tr; ch 6, skip 2 sps, (cluster in next sp, ch 6, skip 1 sp) 3 times; in next sp make d tr, ch 6 and d tr; ch 6, skip next sp, (cluster in next sp, ch 7, skip next sp) 3 times; in next sp make d tr, ch 6 and d tr, ch 7.
